At one time I did, and to my surprise, my friend did just that! Unlocked their phone and handed it to me without a word. Welp.

I tried arguing against this, but it’s no use. I tried pointing out how something can be branded illegal retroactively, like 20 years down the line, I tried the “give me your credit card info” approach, nothing took. 90% of the time the counter-argument is usually something to the effect of “big companies know everything about me anyway”, which is just guessing on their part.
I’m just going to take care of my own privacy, because I’m clearly in the minority (present company excluded, of course). Almost everyone I know disregards online privacy completely, so I’m done trying to get a dialogue going with these people; it’s every man for himself. The only way online privacy will become a hot topic among laymen is when something nasty happens and at that point, it will have been too late.

Yes, I’m sure every developer will jump at the chance to develop something for a dying platform.
Ah. I… honestly hadn’t noticed. Apologies, OP. Removing previous comment.
I don’t know about reproducible builds, but Telegram has a slew of other problems. For example, they advertise that your messages are “heavily encrypted”, but this feature is restricted to secret chats which is NOT the default method of communication and they use their own weird-ass algorhythm called ProtoMT instead of one of many existing algorhythms which have been audited and verified. Not to mention you need to give them your phone number to use the app.
I’m not sure which distro would work with your laptop. I would suggest experimenting with live USB images. Maybe using something like Ventoy which enables you to try out multiple live images from one USB stick. But as far as applications go:
Alternate title: CEO with no background in computer science and surface level knowledge of AI weighs in on latest industry buzzword and makes wild predictions.
Nothing to see here.
Oh wow, Razer was selling masks? Seriously? That’s wild, I must’ve missed that completely. What’s even wilder is that a bunch of people apparently decided that their best option for respiratory filters is, of all things, a gaming company. And one with a shaky QC history at that.
For similar reasons to your own, I tried a few different Discord frontends a while back so I could chat with one of my friends who lives abroad. I never found a winner. They either wouldn’t connect or would be missing tons of features (for example: one of them only let you watch the chat, not participate in it). I also seem to remember reading somewhere that Discord is pretty aggressive when it comes to third party apps. It’s their app or nothing. You might have better luck than I did, but I wouldn’t get my hopes up.
And as others have mentioned, if you’re looking for privacy, Discord ain’t it. Sorry I couldn’t give you a more helpful response.
We’ll just have to wait and see, I guess. People didn’t jump ship when Windows 8 became the norm (which didn’t last long, thankfully), so I’m not expecting the needle to move much over a feature most users will never even know exists. A man can dream, though.
It’s going to be funny to watch their Pikachu face reaction when this decision chases off a good chunk of their users.
Accurate. Bewilderment and confusion is how most users seem to react to Microsoft products. Especially true after Microsoft pushes out a big update.
On the contrary! I absolutely loathe how bloated webpages have become over the last few decades, so it’s very refreshing and laudable to see a webpage that tries to keep itself as small as possible.
That’s a good one. True enough, Splatoon doesn’t go boom, it goes splat.
Nope, that goes boom, too.
Okay, then riddle me this: which shooter DOESN’T go boom?
Nah, that would just make me a dick.
