What's more dangerous for a US citizen? US companies forwarding info to local police (as facebook and google have and continue to do?), or another country with no such power doing that?

We used to have TypedBuilder (which is builder pattern), but switched to DeriveNew, as its a bit cleaner, and requires less generated code.

Is it true that a lot of people arrested under germany's antisemitic speech laws are jewish (mostly for supporting palestine)? I saw this somewhere recently but can't find anything now.

Thx, I'll give it a try.

You can install a gemini / gopher browser to see what sites look like with them.

You can't self-host it. People asked for this feature, and were harshly turned down by the signal devs. If you don't believe me, then try it yourself.

Makes sense, although it'd be nice for privacy-oriented people to have this thin-layer that converts any site into a de-bloated version that they can view safely. As far as I know, there isn't any tool that even provides this option right now.

I think Gemini or Gopher includes both. They don't read html / javascript, so they definitely wouldn't look the same.

That says nothing about what they actually run on their server, or who they allow to look at their database. Most importantly, you can't self-host signal anyway, so posting the source code for something you can't verify that they even run, is pointless. They went a whole year one time without updating that repo, until the open source community made an uproar about it, and signal was forced to start updating it again.

The Gemini protocol is really interesting. The site markup is so minimal, that people can (and do) create browsers for them from scratch, in a way that would be impossible for html web browsers.

I'm probably in the minority with this opinion, but I genuinely hope web browsers die. Google all but owns the browser, with nearly every browser except for firefox being a skin on top of google's browser engine. This situation is only getting worse, so I really appreciate the efforts of these alternative protocols to slim down and provide a privacy-oriented way to view what should be simple static content (text + pictures).

Now I only have to answer ~300 replies and private messages until I can get back to coding!

 

Rule #2 is possibly our most important one:

Be respectful. Everyone should feel welcome here.

Learn to disagree without being rude or disrespectful.

It can be difficult sometimes, since western social media thrives on collective outrage, and they knowingly ingrain this into us for years. But please do adhere to this rule, and it will make this place much more enjoyable.

We will not hesitate to issue temp bans (usually a day or two) for those who make everyone's experience unpleasant.Hit the report button if you see this behavior.

Thanks!

 

I've been using the the osmotic flow / slow method, but I'm interested to see what other people like.

 

I usually don't get too salty about these things, but that seemed uncalled for, especially since I'm on their side.
