Gee, thanks for contributing to the conversation and providing a useful alternative. The only semi-popular better option I can think of is Matrix, but getting people on Signal is already hard enough and using Matrix on a mobile device is (l

You don't even have to get that radical with "nothing to hide". Next time someone says that ask if they use blinds in their house/apt, if you could setup a webcam in their living room, or if you could just read some text

Definitely. I think the growing TDP would be more concerning if AIO liquid coolers weren't so common these days. Setting up a water cooling loop used to be expensive and time consuming. Now it takes about $80 and 15 minutes, and Intel

Reading the article or simply typing "hypersonic" into Google would've gotten you an immediate answer, but it means faster than Mach 5.

That's a per-server controllable setting. The admins can set it such that only users with a verified email (and phone number if they desire) are able to send messages.

Google auctions the promise of showing ads to relevant users. Google would be eliminating themselves as a middle man service by selling the data they've curated.

I've seen many people append a version to the package name. So they could have done `protobuf.v2` (granted the original would be missing a version but still, at least this is more explicit)

Just a note, Discord has two Nitro tiers (the table only mentions one) at $5/mo and $10/mo, or $50/yr and $100/yr.

Same, been using Ecosia both at work and at home for a few months now. Maybe twice a month I make a point to Google something for very specific/technical results. Otherwise Ecosia is great!

CPU time is irrelevant for re-encoding due to bandwidth reasons though. If a client requests 64kbps voice, sending it packets at 128kbps and letting it re-encode once it has them is pointless.

I think you're misunderstanding their argument. They don't want to be an exit node because they don't want to share their public IP (liability), nor do they want to be a relay because they don't want to help route to hid

My wife and I were talking about this borehole a few weeks ago and wondering why similar projects hadn't been undertaken with newer technology. So thanks for this, interested to see how it turns out!
