You should use your bridge off of a residential IP in the same city as your other devices, or else Facebook finds the activity suspicious.

It does. I use ntfy with a ntfy server on one of my VPSs, and I use the official ntfy account on GMS as an intermediary. It works fine, but I'll probably switch back to Matrix's push server at some point. Edit: With Synapse + Elem

Gitlab and Element's website structure is different. element.io is the site for the managed product, so even their "on-premise" installer is meant to be used in a commercial relationship. For install docs you'd probably

Unless they installed conda on an Apple machine, because I'm pretty sure that constitutes original sin.

This is NPR One, no? That's why I've been using it - it gives you a nice steady stream of NPR's programming and outside podcasts, randomly sampled at first, which in time starts preferring your favored content (which it learn

...because it's a different protocol with different needs that are satisfied by its own notation? Edit: Just read Arathorn's comment above, very cool - I hadn't seen that one before.

Guess I was just skipped, then. C'est la vie - still a great project, and one worth sponsoring if you can (IMO).

I was on their Patreon for a while, but had to hop off because of financial fun. Sadly none of the rewards are updated and the flair is no longer given out; at this point it makes sense to just see it as a donation.

Matrix[1] is trying to solve that issue, I'd highly recommend looking into it. I actually pipe most of my various "chat" networks (including WhatsApp) into it via bridges[2]. As you said, we in Europe are kind of forced to ha

An incognito browser would ignore all client-side cookies, so the Slack web client would not try to - say - resume a previous user's session or re-use any previously saved data. Likewise, incognito mode will also ignore most cached web

Telegram? Signal? Viber? Matrix? I feel like all of these apps (with special emphasis on Telegram and Signal) have almost the exact same UX and features of WhatsApp... beyond adoption numbers. Surely one of these can take its place?

Shame, that "Essential Gem" looked pretty promising...

Just as a heads up, you should probably remove the yaourt xmake section of the install section (the Arch Linux instructions). Yaourt is no longer actively maintained and poses security risks. Just linking to the AUR package is usuall

It was pretty straight forward to install/set up? There are some requirements to be able to federate, namely having a domain and associated certs for encryption, but otherwise nothing stood out as overtly obtuse/difficult. You hav

Yeah, the overall UI is significantly cleaner. The team did a great job with this one. Can't wait for it to replace the old Riot completely.

When you consider the costs associated with running, say, a proper VPN or cloud storage solution it doesn't seem unreasonable to offer a paid plan. Supporting Firefox and getting some perks normally associated with other paid services

Yes, correct. Ironsource is an advertisement/UA company that doesn't offer any "toolbar". What you're angry at (and rightly so) is the fact that their network was used to offer malware/adware. As per the first

Hypercasual games don't monetize through in-app purchases, but through advertisements (interstitial, banner, and rewarded video ads). A hyper-casual game is only profitable if it can retain a player for an extended period of time. So,

One thing to note is that hypercasual can reach a much wider audience than traditional gaming genres; it isn't male dominated and isn't exclusive to younger (15-30) demographics. This, tied with increased accessibility thanks to i

Been using Linux as my daily driver for the past ~7 years or so. I use Elementary and Arch as my two go to systems - one for work/stability, other for Wayland/playing around. Contrary to what people here are saying, HiDpi support
