Apparently the files were never deleted. The issue was something failed with a temp profile during the update process for some users. I don't care enough to read on it further. That's good enough in my opinion and not a reason to avoid Windows.

The oblong ones look just like gel capsules you would see as a supplement.

What do people think of their hardware in general?

I have some caddies HDD and NVMe. I think their gear is fairly mid. some aspects are quite nice but other aspects is dog water.

Is there a difference between a donation and a sponsor? As in are the NLNet contributions included in that €4k value?

Since you've used different terms it makes me think they're different.

Clearly you didn't read my comment... Did you read the first thing I said and went full on blind rage or something? Read it again for the insight

Do you have sources?

Thanks! I'll have a look for the sub.

I think the only downside to Textra is that it doesn't support RCS - or I don't believe it does. They have a newer app called Chomp SMS that does. I'm still using Textra because the only communication I get on it is from companies.

The craft computing guy on YouTube said in a video that he runs at 7-8khw/day at idle. :O

Lucky you. I definitely have.

I didn't enable anything. One would assume the default settings should offer a good level of protection to the users.

Interestingly I haven't had a single spammer/scammer annoy me on Signal. I'm not sure if there are any of these settings in Signal?

I cannot see how distributed systems like Fediverse can be GDPR compliment unless you lock out the system admins of the instance they host. Good DevOps requires frequent backups; it also requires offline backups.

It is one of the only good things about a centralised system - the entity that holds the data can be held accountable for not being compliant and other such things. Many mere mortals can collectively group together to fight against the goliath.

It requires too many resources to chase after the small instance owners of a distributed system like Fediverse. Just like how 3 letter agencies chase after the people who like to ride the seas in their wooden boats. The 3 letter agencies have spent a lot of resources attempting to shut it down but they've never come close.
