The link I provided explains it. They can decrypt traffic through their own devices.

From the article:

A court in Madrid heard it was assumed the message triggered alarm bells after being picked up via Gatwick's Wi-Fi network.

Public wifi without a VPN is like sex without a condom. The connection may not be encrypted (very risky) and even if it is, you are still susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks: https://www.garlandtechnology.com/blog/how-to-monitor-encrypted-traffic-and-keep-your-network-secure

I guarantee there will be a flood of articles about this over the next few days because of what I quoted above.

It's also possible that one of his "friends" reported him or something like that.

In general I agree, but there's no privacy on airport Wi-Fi. And very little at an airport in general.

Delivery?

That's true. But I guess I'm not the only one haha!

Xitter, pronounced "shitter".

Why did they use such an obscene word for this?

"Ploopy"? I would say it's weird (for headphones) and maybe non-descriptive. How is it "obscene"?

Great game. One of my 100%'ers and I was actually sad when it was done.

I'd love to know what your prompt was

I imagine specific examples would help the devs. If you can point to a post and comments that disappear in Connect but show up fine in a browser, it would give them a place to debug.

Disagree. So it should be an option. The confirmation is the reason I stayed with Connect over other apps.

In every other app I end up accidentally backing out of the app.

Have you checked the behaviour of those comments on the web or in another app? I've definitely seen this but I'm somewhat used to it from RIF. I always figured it meant the comments were deleted after the initial pull of the data.

65 minutes to go!

Still seems to be down. In Connect for Lemmy I get an error message that it is down for maintenance

Please make anything like this optional. I like a super compact view myself.

Doesn't look like it's really going anywhere. That looks like it was written almost 10 years ago and it still isn't at version 1.0. A post in the last couple of years indicates development of the language has stalled.

It gets pretty decent lines at lunch. Or it used to. I don't frequent the arwa as much anymore.

That's the one I was thinking of

I was thinking Le Petit Belge
