Yeah I ran into this as well. Wondered why it needs a call to auth for public container images in the first place.

Yay capitalism!

Next up, fridge subscriptions. Sorry, but you need a pro subscription to cool more than 10 products!

You get downvoted by people who do not read but you are correct.

The latest proposal is to use some sort of AI on your device to check for CSAM, and not more than that. It eliminates the need to decrypt the chat.

Still unwanted and uncalled for. Because criminals will simply move somewhere else. And so will I if this proposal gets accepted.

“Lidar is lame”. Proven safer than those shitty cameras, Elon. Also surprised those 8 cameras continuously upload to Tesla servers, wtf.

I hope this sack of shit burns to death in his own crappy creation some day.

Agreed, but I like the extra layer.

If your vault is locked on your phone for example it needs to contact the server. But granted, most of the time it is not needed.

I do this too. On a vm hosted somewhere with an encrypted filesystem and only accessible from my home IP. If I need a password while on the way I use my VPN.

They do. Otherwise anyone can register with your phone number and start messaging as if they were you.

If you want more privacy you’d need something like Simplex.

Switched to KDE after many, many years of tiling wms. Bspwm, awesomewm, i3, Hyprland. A few months back I was done with tiling as I found it got in the way more than it was useful for me and often caused issues with games, window placement and other stuff. Installed KDE. Apart from one or two minor bugs, everything just works and works well. I am really impressed.

Excellent initiative.

Yes, this is what spoilt brats do. There is no masterplan here.

They probably still have usernames, phone numbers and access logs with IP adresses even though the chats are encrypted.

Telegram never or rarely cooperates with authorities in investigations into terrorism, child abuse, drug trafficking, weapons marketplaces, etc. This is probably the main reason they arrested the guy.
