Short-term, yes. Maintaining the client integrations is a ton of work. If BW ever breaks selfhosted integrations, it’s gonna be a shitshow.

I upgraded to premium last year. Never heard about the price increase until this article. But frankly the change in leadership is more concerning to me than that.

Troll better.

That’s what they are trying to communicate here, yes. But 8.5 million users didn’t need to be told they need to trust the platform, they chose to. As did I with a premium plan to cover MFA and attachments.

Now with business types in charge and a hidden doubling of the fees, that’s more than halfway out the window no matter what the website stands for. I’m guessing somebody decided it’s time to cash in on the goodwill they built over the past decade.

You really believe that with Elon Musk and Peter Thiel in charge of its initial parameters and training, bar any oversight? That stretches hope too far in my book.

Any new technology is subject to the same problems under capitalism, specifically maximising profits to the detriment of anything else. This is especially bad with centralised tools. An AGI wouldn’t just magically take global control.

It’s really difficult to recuperate waste heat spread across such a large space in a way that doesn’t compromise on cooling effectiveness.

It’s not just culture. Most people value community and the well-being of others above amassing wealth (provided their needs are met). The problem is that capitalism indoctrinates us against those values, and even more that it rewards and empowers those who don’t share them at all.

That’s exactly what the GraphendOS project did. IF you choose to install Google’s bullshit, which I did to use Maps and such, they run in a wrapper that makes them usable without the level of system access they typically require.

The tan suit was really the nail in the coffin. Not even Trump could save us from the fallout of that desaster.

Yup. They’re not looking to conserve a thing, they’d much rather burn down modern society as a whole.

That C3 is vital to keep the voices out of the PCB.

Same. I salute folks willing to do this, but it doesn’t actually bother me enough to join them even though I’m a regular touchpad user.

Republicans think they’re weak fucking losers for such sentiments.

At least Europe rarely uses WhatsApp for business purposes. It’s worse in Asia and South America where WhatsApp and Facebook literally are the internet, including the enterprise space.

And the reason it’s less the default in the US isn’t because people are so forward-thinking to use signal, but iOS being so uniquitous that people use iMessage.

People everywhere are just somewhat lazy and just don’t know better.

The only way to stop an untrained ICE agent with a gun is a trained TSA agent with a gun.

Because the target demographic of their propaganda is aggrieved men that lack the education to smell fascism for what it is.

They can’t build them that cheaply. They don’t have the same scaling effects as the big brands, and they make an effort for sustainability which is a huge problem with cheap-ass phones.

93% after 1.5 years works just fine for most users who do not prioritize longevity or sustainability over convenience, unfortunately.

Yeah there isn’t a nation-state on earth that is a friend to the working class.
