Yes, the entire point is that it is the client where Sliding-Sync is being developed and tested.

Open https://yourserver.example/.well-known/matrix/client and see if this part exists in it:

 json

    
"org.matrix.msc3575.proxy": {
    "url": "https://slidingsync.lab.matrix.org"
}

  

if so, chances are it'll just work.

FYI: xManager itself is Open-Source, Spotify obviously isn't.

I won't properly reply to this, I'm biased cuz a friend of mine works on this 🥴

That's just fine.

no I don't believe a damn word of what apple's gonna say on this, I just wanted to get the message out there that generally file deletion works by allowing data to be overwritten, so if the images are local this could very well just be that either it's showing data that hasn't been overwritten yet or it accidentally brought things out of the "recently deleted" depending on how long ago it was deleted.

no when I say "overwritten" I mean that the area is set as deleted in the filesystem and the next time something writes to that area the data that was there before is disregarded.

yeah cuz for normal, day-to-day use that's exponentially slower the more you're deleting

You can do that when you wipe something.

If all that you wanna do is download stuff, maybe try https://cobalt.tools

It pretty much just grabs the raw URL to the content for you, without the UI and fluff (in the case of Instagram) so you can just do a little "save as..." and it's worked quite reliably for me to view content my friends sent me.

I mean, to be completely fair, that's how data storage works.

We cannot really just make data disappear, so we let it get overwritten instead

Note that tons of instances have increased the limit FAR beyond 500 chars. Mine has 2000.

You can actually put alt-text in images, ![alt-text](URL)

The algorithm was neither proposed nor designed by the US government, it was made by (what is now known as) Signal, a 501c nonprofit.

The claims of signal being "state-sponsored" come from assuming how money flows through the OTF - Open Tech Fund - which has gotten grants from government programs before. (IIRC)

It wouldn't make sense for the US Gov. to make such a grant to make a flawed protocol, as any backdoor they introduce for themselves would work for any outside attacker too - it's mathematics. It works for everyone or for no one. Would they really wanna make tools that they themselves use, just to have it backdoored by other state actors?

And again, Durov's claims are entirely assumptions, and that coming from someone that has had [various](https://mtpsym.github.io// different vulnerabilities and weird bugs on their platform

As per the MV3 Specification, it is supposed to remove some APIs.

Firefox included them anyways cuz they're not assholes.

Manifest V3 changes capabilities and meta-data about extensions, including limiting lots of things that worsen the experience for AdBlock Users.

Google's "cookie replacement" is Ad Topics, which collects your browser history and puts it into categories, sending those categories to websites.

That already exists, but it's weak in terms of encryption.

Musk himself hasn't actually provided any sources either, all his statements made on Twitter recently are basically pulled from thin air, almost like vague references

the collision is much less of a problem, the issue was that even if you clipped through you had to be in the walking state to open the door (you could clip through before!)

This new tactic involves doing a turnaround, after which for ~1 frame you enter the walking state in midair, allowing you to open the door after being pushed through by the penguin at the right time.

activism.

it sucks but can you blame them?

For picking discord I very much can blame them, I figure it won't be long until that goes down the drain too.
