Gotcha. So is Wire like, the privacy seeker’s dream messaging app? No phone number, always-on encryption, zero-knowledge servers, open source… any caveats?
Interesting. Since the CEO of Telegram was arrested in France last month, I’ve read countless threads on c/privacy about which messaging app is best for privacy, and the two names that seem to come up the most are Signal and any Matrix client (e.g. Element); however, some commenters point out Signal’s phone number requirement and I forget what the other caveats are.
I don’t recall reading about Wire in any of those threads, but at a glance it seems to check all the boxes (open source, always-on encryption, etc).
Am I missing something? Any ideas why this app wouldn’t come up in such discussions?
EDIT: Hmm, I just went back and re-read a thread from last week, and Wire is actually mentioned. Maybe I’ve just always mentally skipped over it until now.
Keep in mind that executive orders can be easily rolled back by the next chief executive without going through the legislature. Executive orders are a tool that can be used for good, as in this case, but it’s just something to keep in mind.
Varied exteriors might be enough to keep my inner space station hunter entertained for a while anyway. Thanks for the intel.
Good to know, thanks for the info.
but the inside, as far as I have seen, is the same.
Gotcha. This seems to contradict the marketing materials on the NMS website, but is in line with other commenters—thanks for confirming that.
From the website:
Space Station interiors are now procedurally generated and vary dramatically from station to station. A huge range of different designs are waiting to be found, as well as a wide array of atmospheric and lighting arrangements.
I gather there’s some variety depending on the system’s economy type (e.g. high tech vs mining), just not as “dramatic” as the devs promise. And honestly, this isn’t my only reason for enjoying space games, so I’ll probably scoop up NMS during the next sale anyway and then see for myself. Thanks again.
I do not have the Odyssey DLC, but fair point nonetheless. That said, while I can’t put my finger on it, something draws me to NMS. Maybe it’s the community, I don’t know.
Thanks for weighing in.
That WaPo article was one of the top search results - thanks for clarifying. I unplugged from the news after the last election, so now I’m playing catch-up.
Shocker that Trump is a convicted fucking rapist
I’ve been living under a rock - are you referring to Trump’s civil case against E. Jean Carroll or is there a criminal case out there that’s just not showing up on the first page of search results?
Sauce? I tried searching and couldn’t find anything (at least not on the first page of results). Thanks.
Individual trees are mapped using natural=tree
, so I reckon a similar pattern could be followed for any plant. Checking taginfo, it looks like a very small number of mappers have used natural=plant
, maybe that’s the way to go.
Thanks for your input. I think dust is actually a common complaint with these particular controls. In my own experience, I bought these second hand, and initially the z-axis didn’t work right (the cursor’s movement was really finicky and jumped around a lot). After cleaning the sensor with some rubbing alcohol and a q-tip, it’s been smooth sailing, but taking apart and re-assembling the joystick is something I’d like to avoid going forward if I can help it.
You’re right about the cost of those dust covers being a tad steep, but if I could find something for closer to $20, I’d spring for it.
Unlikely.
The in-house scanning service at the Internet Archive (IA) differs from the licensing agreements entered into by other libraries. These agreements see libraries license ‘official’ e-book versions from publishers, who charge for every book that’s lent out to patrons.
Short answer: Mobile hot spot (w/ your own cellular device) is preferable to public wifi from a security perspective.
There are other considerations, such as how much cellular data downloads cost to you, what sites you’re visiting, what you’re actually doing, etc. In general, it’s advisable to avoid public wifi if you can, but if you must connect to public wifi, then you should make darn sure you connect to the right network (watch out for imposter networks w/ a legitimate looking name) and use VPN (ideally a paid service) to encrypt your traffic. Even with both of these measures, you’re best off avoiding sensitive activities like online banking on public wifi. If you must do banking or other sensitive stuff, either do it on your phone or wait until you get home.
Hope this helps.
Editing to add: When I initially responded, I’d forgotten which community I was in. In this context, I believe the other responses are better than mine, but I’ll keep mine up in case it helps other readers.
Thanks for weighing in. Is there somewhere I can learn more about this? Big Pharma getting rich off tax payer funded research is an often repeated claim on internet forums, and I’d like to educate myself some more on this topic. Thanks!
The wiki has a lot of good info. The wiki also has a lot of vague, conflicting info. Because of this, when in doubt, I look at what other people are doing and follow their example. Use tag info to figure that out. For example, signal
is by far the most used value for traffic_signal=*
(sauce), so yes, just use that.
Aren’t we still vulnerable through VMs, though? I seem to remember reading something about why Qubes OS is safer than a regular VM, having to do w/ zero trust, etc.
Sure, but what’s the claim? I don’t understand playlists for FAST services, nor why an evil corporation would care enough to file a DMCA suit, no matter how frivolous. Is it because these playlists somehow magically block the ads? Do they give non-paying customers access to something normally behind a paywall? Like what am I missing here? Something is not adding up.
Far from it.
