They do need to pay developers to get high quality software, which is especially for a message app centered around security.

That is package right? Most people will not get the full benefit of the package, the cash is usually around 150k, plus the cashable part of the package it would be closer to 200k for most.

I think on android, signal do not use Google’s push notification. They simple send a dummy push, and the signal app wakes up to retrive the latest message directly from signal server.

So Google never have your notification content. I am not sure if they do the same on iOS.

That being said if your attack model includes people reading your notification lock screen, then you should disable showing signal notification.

I don’t think it is terribly expensive, a lot of (somewhat large) domain specific academic instances are maintained by grad students with donation from academics. As far as I know, many of them are in good financial standing.

There are several non-profit had their own instance, like ACM. I recall Mozilla used to do, but I am not sure if they still does.

Then this post should interest you: https://social.growyourown.services/@FediFollows/112419076551165888 :)

And my absolute favorite is @frenchtoast@better.boston

BTW, there is a very strong Boston/Cambridge/Somerville community on mastodon, there is a entire instance for it: https://better.boston/explore

Mayor Wu is on there @wutrain@better.boston but not posting much these days.

There are also many people on other instances, like transport or OSS instance, as many prominent OSS contributor lives in that area.

Gnome has parental control https://help.gnome.org/gnome-help/parental-controls.html

But it has some serious limitations: for example, you cannot block individual website reliably. Parents can consider piholes, but DNS sink hole on local network are often trivial to bypass.

Nearing absolute zero even.

Unlike fern and tldrnews, I don’t think they declared no AI, but I feel most of there animation seems to involve a lot of human labors, at least on top of AI.

They have also never declared the use of AI either, so I guess I don’t know for sure.

I should specify I am referring to mainland China. Hong Kong has a different health care systems, and the health care is usually considered reasonably affordable for residents (could be because people in Hong Kong are generally more wealthy than most of mainland China)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_in_Hong_Kong

I want to add China’s healthcare is still reasonably affordable for many people living and working in cities.

No they don’t. They have state provided health care, supplemented with private options.

But they are not universal in the sense that (1) not the entire population is covered (although almost everyone is) (2) health care is not close to free for most people.

There is literally a hit movie couple years ago about the difficulty to obtain affordable Imatinib: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dying_to_Survive

(Imatinib was later covered by state health care package because of this movie

I feel if everything they said is true, then this is a reasonable solution. But from my many Youtube scammer video experience, like people have already mentioned, most scammers use standard remote access software, not some bespoke APK.

I teach computer science at a uni. I would much much perfer student to ask me the question instead of LLM. I will give them a much better answer because the LLM probably learned from my published stuff, which is already super surface level, and then they will distill again.

I understand this is not feasible for larger classes, especially introduction classes. But please, if you ever move on to upper level classes and professor welcomes questions, talk to the professor, not the LLM.

I got a lot of flipboard content on mastodon, but I don’t know if that “grows” flipboard.

Why have we been talking about EU chat control for years. How many time have this been voted on? and can people just keep popping up chat control if the previous one fail?

I find the social media (piefed and mastodon) I use are busy enough to keep me entertained, not too busy to make me addictated.
