Is that not what unsafe is for?

What would stop them from subpoenaing all information from your personal server?

If you’re a drug dealer and the FBI sends you a subpoena—you could simply….not respond.

There’s no personal information tied to your account.

There is actually a bunch of metadata tied to your account and your room. That’s partly how they caught that kid with the Pentagon leaks.

And again, there may be other services between the clients and the matrix server that collect personal data (e.g. reverse proxies, load balancers).

If you are someone who ostensibly cares about privacy and security (like a drug dealer) why would you rely on the benevolence and security hygiene of a stranger you can’t audit? Instead of using a known good actor, like Signal or SimpleX, or no actor, like Briar.

How is it a lot harder to track if the FBI can just subpoena the sysadmin for server/room logs?

With respect, this viewpoint is not defensible from an operational security perspective.

It’s like saying they should use GMail because they have hundreds of millions of users. When the problem isn’t being a needle in haystack, but rather the fact that Google will gladly look through your private data and happily hand it over to the authorities.

I really like my Libra 2. My only complaint is the weight—it can be a little heavy for longer reading sessions.

Hot tip, it’s a pleasure to use in landscape mode.

Also the left-edge brightness slider is a killer feature at night.

This is an insane take based on absolutely nothing.

FWIW this thing is nowhere near as powerful as a modern iPad. Different universes.

Look into Darwin BSD and the Mach kernel. Still alive and kicking.

I’d also be curious to see the inter-province migration statistics for the rest of the country

This might be an unpopular opinion here, but it’s not a myth. If you have hardware that isn’t widely supported it can require some serious technical chops to get things working. Open source is wonderful and a net positive but it can also lead to quite a bit of abandonware, which leaves novice users in a tricky position when things stop working correctly.

I love linux, I use it every day—and it’s way more approachable than it used it be. However it is still very much rough around the edges.
