PRIVACY =! SECURITY


Unless privacy == security (i.e. operational security need privacy). It's laughably to take over Telegram accounts (or just join as an invisible listener) and because nothing is encrypted, you get the full message history.

Telegram has really, really great UI/UX and even DX regarding their API. Other than that it's a shit show.

I would never recommend using Whatsapp, but compared to Telegram, Whatsapp is a poster child.


Can you elaborate the claims regarding account takeover more in detail? I'm generally curious.

Is it because of SS7 confirmation of pins or what are you referring to?


Do you mean like https://rive.app but FOSS?


I find that statement about Europeans hilarious. I am in Italy and here within a few kilometers you can find families who see total nudity at home as perfectly normal and families in which the daughter must not walk around the house in her pajamas because her brother could see her.


It's accurate, Wayland is already used in ChromeOS to display Android apps, of course Microsoft is just doing the same.

Remember Wayland is a low-level protocol, it's totally different from X11 stack.


Ah I had no idea - thanks!


No it isn't. Canonical now offers a SaaS solution named again Anbox-something but it's not based on the original Anbox, it's just the same concept of running Android apps but in the cloud for development purposes.

Wrong example, lol


I'm Italian and yes most Italians don't know what lactose intollerance is but when I went vegan (for the animals) I suggested veg milk to people and you will be surprised by how many of them felt better, they didn't know they are lactose intollerant and many of them didn't even realized they had a problem. Who could imagine a headache can be caused by milk?


It's completely legitimate to go vegan for animal rights reasons. But lactose intolerance does not, and cannot, cause headaches. It is a specific disorder affecting the lower intestine and causes diarrhea and gas pain. I am afraid that your posting may be describing some other disorder (or it may be effectively another example of colpo d'aria).

*Edit: for those of you who don't know, colpo d'aria is a made-up disease used by Italian mothers to explain why their kids have to be bundled up ridiculously in order to go out in the cold: the closest term in English would be "catching your death". Italians are extraordinarily superstitious and hyperchondriacal about diseases and disorders. Frauds run rampant and homeopathy is openly advertised in drug stores as if it's real.


Headache from milk can come from the Vitamine A. You do need to drink about 2L of milk a day. I know this anecdotally, I head lots of headaches around the age of 21 :)


Probability Theory is a branch of mathematics. Statistics is the art of processing data to extract information suitable for the human cognitive system or a computer algorithm. Statistics use mathematical tools like physics or chemistry do.
