Telegram says it has 'about 30 engineers'; security experts say that's a red flag
  • telegram isn't e2e encrypted by default?! that seems like the major concern here.

    i double checked the ui and i had to create a new secret chat to see any indicator of encryption presence or absence

  • Sorry I can't do it.
  • with the issues you've had i think it's perfectly understandable, but I'll agree with other commenters that arch is not a good choice for a first distro. i recommend trying dual booting windows and a more "beginner " distro like Linux mint or pop_os

  • Eww, Copilot AI might auto-launch with Windows 11 soon
  • for your laptop i recommend looking up compatibility with your model first and be prepared to go back. some hardware may not be supported.

    nvidia might have some trouble on Wayland for a while but i haven't had much day-to-day issues on x11 except with the various sync technologies being difficult to get working as expected.

    Steam is works well for most games but note that for games with multiplayer, anti-cheat oftens only allow Windows

  • Big Tech passkey implementations are a trap | Proton

    • Are easy to use, no matter your device or platform
    • Can be quickly shared or exported
    • Use an open-source implementation
    • Are available to everyone with our Free plan
  • Using StartAllBack? No Windows updates for you, says Microsoft
  • im curious what version of kde plasma you're on, i thought they were still working on it and plasma 6 just released. My computer with the hdr monitor is still on plasma 5.

    edit: should've looked it up first of course. looks like support is expiremental on Wayland plasma 6. I'll see what happens when kubuntu catches up.

  • Easy mistake
  • thank you very mulch

  • Frozen embryos are “children,” according to Alabama’s Supreme Court
  • In the Alabama case, a hospital patient wandered through an unlocked door, removed frozen, preserved embryos from subzero storage and, suffering an ice burn, dropped the embryos, destroying them. Affected IVF patients filed wrongful-death lawsuits against the IVF clinic under the state's Wrongful Death of a Minor Act. The case was initially dismissed in a lower court, which ruled the embryos did not meet the definition of a child. But the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that "it applies to all children, born and unborn, without limitation." In a concurring opinion, Chief Justice Tom Parker cited his religious beliefs and quoted the Bible to support the stance.

    absolutely wild case

  • Philips Hue will force users to upload their data to Hue cloud
  • If i understand correctly this is Home Assistant saying that Hue is taking away that ability on devices people have already bought and installed.
