Google uses Signal protocol to handle E2E for RCS communication:

Google SAYS they use the Signal protocol.

Without open-source applications, you have to trust these companies to do the right thing when they can track you and make money from it in every single step of the way. Same goes for Meta with Whatsapp.

In that case, couldn't you just edit out the doxxing part?

What you are talking about is the operating system, not the cpu.

The ARM architecture allows much more performance for less power when compared to AMD64, because it runs simpler instructions.

The change to ARM chips on laptops will not make them work like phones, with the exception of much better standby.

He could set a million dollars on fire every day for the next 50 years and still have another million to spend that day.

Just wanna point out that net worth doesn't equal money in the bank. If he tried to convert his worth (probably NVIDIA stocks) to money it would be very hard and only a percentage of the initial worth (because of shares dumping).

High price/performance, constant random hardware issues (on the previous generation the lens glass would shatter because who would have thought glass on metal contact is a bad idea), and a new software bug every two months that drains your battery and fucks something else.

You don't get it. Only what they find funny is funny and only what they think is biggoted is actually biggoted.

Any other world view other than theirs is extremely inferior to the point of being an insult to exist.

companies like Fairphone and Framework and system76 have proven that it's possible to support devices for a very long time when the bigger manufacturers told us it wasn't possible, or even if it were possible that there was no market demand for seven years of software support. In 2016, sustainability and longevity were not words associated with new tech. They showed us the way.

I didn't see the video with that much attention, but I'm pretty sure at some point he said something along these lines.

its far better to use a browser which was made from ground up to support user privacy and features rather then patching a browser which was made to compromises their user privacy

Unfortunately we don't have that yet, since Librewolf is a fork of Firefox as well.

Also, if I had to guess by the number of forks, Gecko is way harder to fork than Chromium.

Yes... But they can modify it like they did when they suppressed Manifest V3 and like they will for the new web drm.

What if I told you... this isn't a Google product?
