i remember when i was a kid, i was hiking with my parents and we spent a night on about 2500m and looking up i obviously had a great view of the cosmos BUT i also could see some satelites moving and even the then MIR space station. i was impressed that "we" are actually up there for everyone down here to see. i guess the current generation want's a pristine night sky AND 24/7 internet, gps and tv.

i still wait for the day when i can criticize the state of israel and some of it's policies without getting branded as an antisemite.

at this point most iphone users are very much used to reicive images within imessage and have already forgotten that mms existed or are too young to actually ever had to deal with it, so to them it's just yet another picture.

Ah, of course, the privacy oriented company becomes suspicious when it moves OUT of Russia, i see!

well, i'm not endorsing it but if your take on (online) privacy is pursuing a career in that field, i won't talk you out if it :>

"One thing to note is they also encrypt the e-mail subject, whereas (for example) Proton Mail does not." - protonmail does encrypt their mails if you send it to another protonmail address, and skiff is doing the exact same thing.

call me paranoid, but i somehow don't trust a webbrowser thats basically developed and maintained by a single person who needs you to join his discord to download it (at least that was the case in 2021).

i agree, the problem is, that if google succeeds and (popular/mainstream) websites refuse to let said browsers access the sites, it's an uphill battle in wich we will eventually lose the normie webizens.

apple might oppose this to some point, they're often not in line with google.

@grafcube it's very important to push back against google's browser hegenomy just like we did back in the day with microsoft because now it's not just about one company controllin the software to access the majority of the web but the privacy of it.

same problem we had back in the ie5/6 days: it was just there and most people don't care. i physically cringe when i watch co-workers using chrome with not even a basic adblocker installed, klicking away ads, promts, pop-ups, videos and whatnot just to access a news article. it's horrible!

it's funny how the "when we were kids, whe didn't even had a tv at home and we were happy"-routine from our grandparents moved up to "we watched the same episode on vhs on repeat!" now millennials are getting older.
