One was a jury trial and the other wasn’t. Google had plenty of records of their internal communications but Apple had a different practice. This article by The Verge does a decent job at highlighting the differences.

Russia is reportedly planning to block WhatsApp as well.

I switched off after having found that its privacy settings prevent extensions like Dark Mode from reading your dark mode status in the OS. There’s a workaround but I might as well use something else.

That’s overkill. Shaun’s video on Harry Potter is less than two hours long and tells you all you need to know.

We know WhatsApp uses the Signal protocol for encryption, but it also collects a lot of metadata. Arguably still better than Telegram that collects everything. Its secret chats may be e2ee but nobody uses them even for discussing sensitive matters, and they don’t work on the Desktop.

Depends on whether piracy is less of an ethical issue than supporting a sexist transphobe.

The corporate overlords are inherently right-wing, which is why they fund, build, and embrace those platforms. There’s no revolt in joining them.

That’s what they say, but I’d expect it to be producing some results even in the event of Bing being down if that were the case.

It didn’t return any search results during the Bing outage, as experienced by me personally and reported by others. At least one blog post claims it relies on Bing.

As far as I know, Startpage uses Bing, not Google now. The same is true for Ecosia.

Its Russian founder recently praised Musk in an interview for Tucker Carlson.

There are already precedents of software (the Riot games) and the OS itself refusing to work if the requirements are bypassed, so it’s a very risky move that nobody should choose for their main OS.

They absolutely are unreasonably high. My barely overclocked 6700K is sufficient for virtually every new or slightly older game I throw at it, but somehow it’s not enough for the OS?

Since XP, I always upgraded to the next version whenever it came out. The insane hardware requirements of Windows 11 make it the only exception.

As of today, the revenue share is still the same as before the last acquisitions, right? The entry requirements are the same and the discovery tools aren’t worse? If so, and the issue is with the layoffs and unionization, that’s true for countless other companies, especially in gaming.

Which of them support e2e in group chats by default?
