Iran asks its people to delete WhatsApp from their devices
  • I used to think that too, but it's so far only Google Messages and Apple iMessage? GSMA only added E2EE in RCS recently, Google is still using their own thing on top and Apple nothing yet. You have to be a member of GSMA to read the whole spec.

  • Survey shows Gmail users would gladly sacrifice features for more privacy
  • I guess I've always just made the new passwords in Bitwarden and have it fill in the form rather than fill in the form and let Bitwarden save it. Do you not use generated passwords? Can't help you on the offline thing, I see how that would be annoying.

  • We Hold These Truths To Be Self Evident - Jeffrey Gibson
  • Saw this in the American pavilion at the biennale in Venice, don't remember if it was literally this or similar. The message is good, execution clever enough, definitely not my favourite aesthetically. My friend hated the whole thing.

  • Netflix Puts AI Ads in Paid Tier: Pirate Everything at This Point
  • Platforms that may want no affiliation but don't censor enough (sometimes nothing, sometimes only reported actually illegal things) usually end up becoming nazi platforms. (see the punk bar parable)
    I don't think Odysee is as bad as Bitchute yet, but my hopes for it becoming good are zero.

  • Robots to build Canada’s 9-story timber tower in just 90 days
  • Some issues are solvable with better architecture but developers don't make money on it, many only build for the landlords. Stuff like good soundproofing between separate units, both a lift and multiple staircases in bigger buildings, visual variation between buildings or parts of buildings so people don't get lost or stir crazy, outdoor spaces with both vegetation and useable areas.

    Depends on your city, but many need more medium-density, not go straight from terraced housing to seven floor buildings.

  • Favorite offline-first software?
  • I do get the appeal of things needing to work without internet, but it seems very broad as a category. People use webapps for things that used to be local, like Office 365 or Figma, or even searching in Google to do arithmetic, so the calculator app is offline first.

    On mobile I think a more reasonable example is offline maps, I use OSMand myself but recommend Organic Maps to less technical people.

    About offpunk, all browsers used to have that. Firefox still has the "work offline" option in the file menu. In offline mode you can go to any webpage that you visited while online.

  • Favorite offline-first software?
  • Can you explain what you mean by offline-first?

    Like if it's internet stuff that still works when offline, most e-mail clients would count. I use KMail but they're all pretty similar.

  • Schools in Spain required to serve fruit, vegetables and fish in fight against obesity
  • So your main issue is they're confusing vegetarian with pescetarian for no reason?
    I'm vegetarian too, that happens basically everywhere (at least France, Belgium, Denmark, Poland). Some places they confuse it with veganism, but that's obviously less of an issue.
