personally im fine with machine learning, what I don’t like is “AI”, a new marketing buzzword that justifies every shitty corporate exec decision and insane company evaluations.

for a second i thought they wanted you to change your pronouns to JP/Morgan lol

by available i meant available. it’s on a per channel/group basis and not on individual messages but essentially you can’t join or view their messages even if you have their id and even if someone forwards it to you it displays a “this message is nor available on clients downloaded from google play” error message or something similar. if you joined a channel prior and it get blocked from your client you stay in but can’t view its messages.

telegram has different visibility based on which client you are using and your phone number’s region. I’ve seen it firsthand how some channels are not available on telegram downloaded from app store vs direct apk download. unless if you mean in spirit they’re basically the same which i agree but everyone that has used telegram at all knows that telegram values being accessible more than free speech and privacy.

thanks. 32% of malicious traffic is still a lot. the 50% increase in bad traffic in gaming is interesting though.

can’t read this article, can some explain what their definition of bot is?

Roku is a pioneer in most of this crap but don’t be fooled to think that only cheap stuff is gonna have these and that somehow you are safe if you spend a lot on your TV. as it turns out high end and average TV producers would also like to squeeze the tiniest profit margins out of their consumers and if they could get away with it they would do the same.

in fact nowadays most TVs regardless of price are actually collecting and selling your data and in the best case it’s an opt out option in the worst possible place in the menu.

the actual update size for the application is logical as far as i remember, it’s the other stuff alongside it (i think related to graphics card) which is the real issue. it added around 500MB each update while the actual update itself might’ve been 10 or 20 MB.

purely as an end user i hate how much it downloads with each update and how much it uses the disk space although that’s much less of an issue. i know it’s solving a real problem and relieving a lot of the headaches of developers maintaing packages for each distro’s specific package standard, but it’s simply not the software distribution solution for people without at least well enough internet.

i wouldn’t use any distro with flatpaks as its main way of delivering software and i would in almost all cases always choose alternatives even if it’s outdated. i don’t necessarily hate flatpak itself but for me i don’t want to spend money on extra data cap and wait 30 minutes for a small update for my game launcher to finish.

the appimage of one of the applications i was interested in was 3 times less than the average flatpak update so redownloading the appimage every time would be better. if i installed more packages yeah the math would be better but it’s still wasted data per update no matter how small it actually is. i found out after a while of using flatpak that i wouldn’t just update and was stuck with outdated software anyway.

it’s completely ok to not like or even hate wayland but this ain’t it. i don’t know if that’s true, but even if wayland is so shit that every compositor needs a separate compatibility patch i still don’t see how that’s restricting your freedom or app developers’ freedom or any kind of freedom. if it’s so cumbersome to support wayland then devs won’t support it and people won’t use it. no one is forcing anyone to do anything no one is ruling through software even if apps drop xorg in a free software environment people can pay developers to keep maintaining for xorg.

genuinely asking how does it restrict your freedom?

why do you dislike it though?

ah sorry it’s more accurate to say it can “break” your xorg config cause that was my case. looking at this package it has libgl as one of its dependencies. as i have said i’m not familiar with how exactly it works but it can probably mess with your graphics drivers.

ah classic mistake of installing AUR packages on manjaro. been there done that. check your logs and search for errors, it probably overwrote/deleted some xorg config that you must either manually add back or regenerate. sorry i can’t help further im a linux noobie but that was my issue when this happened to me.
