This is going to lead to a lot of harassment and stalking. The sender or receiver could use the numbers to find people on whatsapp, signal or any other social media app that allows users to link their contacts.

This is scarily creepy.

Combustion engine car makers are hurtling towards their Kodak moment

If EV companies can collectively work on a proper open standards like the digital world, it would come a lot sooner and more people would benefit. It's not just about the price, there needs to be reliable access to charging stations, support, maintenance, easy/affordable access to repair parts, and recycling. But everyone wants to please their own shareholders, so we have things like EV graveyards. So it still remains to be seen how quickly we can phase out ICE cars.

Every EV with their own proprietary systems just adds to the dilemma for people who want to switch.

It doesn't snow in our city but it used to in a village not too far away, and people would go there in hordes. Come to think of it, haven't gone there since the covid lockdowns, nor heard about it from anyone else.

It sucks, as the bigger picture is weather is getting strange and less predictable on a global scale, but can't complain about it being less cold though, for now, at least. ㄟ(ツ)ㄏ

it's always either a hit or a miss. The player UI really needs to show if the instance you're streaming from is online and working or not. Otherwise, you just keep waiting for the loading to complete, but it never does and you go the the preference to check and the instance isn't up anymore. You change it back to another instance, go back to the player, check again and change instance again until it works. Then sometime later the same thing happens again.

Newpipe mostly always works and is good enough for me.

I don't think you see the difference, Aaron was downloading the data off of MIT servers himself, he was not facing charges for writing the scripts.

From your link:

The Justice Department's press release announcing Aaron's indictment suggests the true motivation for pursuing the case was that Aaron downloaded academic literature from JSTOR and planned to make it available to the public for free as a political statement about access to knowledge.

Tools that can be used maliciously are generally allowed because they have legitimate uses, using them to gain access or otherwise harm a computer system or network without authorization is criminal.

As I said before, Beeper users are gaining unauthorized access, not Beeper. It is E2EE, they're not the middleman.

That is even worse, they knew they were compromising privacy and still boasts about being privacy centric. It's like Saudi Arabia claiming to be a utopia while actively using modern slavery in the background.

Apple and Google are both guilty of this. Frankly, however, neither of them are particularly “guilty”,

Google doesn't claim to be a herald of digital privacy, nor its users claim Google is a saint.

That's what I wanted to ask. Last time I heard about their federation, their team were claiming the tests are underway in a sandbox or something. I wonder how that's going.

How exactly? Beeper is a matrix chat with bridges to multiple mesaaging apps, I don't see any functionality beyond messaging.
