It's one year cooldown after joining a family share. I.e. if you leave half a year after joining, you have to wait another half a year to join another family share.
Adults can leave a family at any time, however, they will need to wait 1 year from when they joined the previous family to create or join a new family.
You're right. I've read somewhere that Apple plans to work with GSMA to add encryption to the official RCS standard, so this major issue hopefully gets fixed at some point.
RCS isn't E2E, and it doesn't minimize metadata.
Moxie Marlinspike has been strongly against federation in Signal because of how it makes avoiding metadata almost impossible.
I'd say there's basically zero chances Signal will add RCS.
I'd argue XMPP is less ideal than Matrix because groups are located on a single server, which makes them easier to take down than Matrix' replicated state.
Running any P2P/decentralized protocol over I2P seems to be the best for privacy and censorship-resistance. I2P already works great for torrents, except for it's speed and lack of users/seeders.
The problem always comes down to usability and barrier to entry. Telegram is popular because it's great to use, and doesn't moderate much. More private services rarely (never?) reach the level of usability most people expect, often simply because of it's architecture.
The Lemmy equivalent to a Reddit subreddit is a community.
Great to see another map with satellite images, besides Google Maps and Microsofts Bing Maps.
Now they just have to stop blocking Linux based on the user agent. If I set it to Firefox on Windows, it works, but not if set UA to Linux. A major feature of browsers is that web devs don't have to care about the underlying OS...
I've been using COSMIC Epoch pre-alpha for the past two months, and it definitly is on a good path. There's still many bugs, but COSMIC has gotten much better, and more featureful (e.g. I'm finally able to use my keyboard layout of choice and rebind all keys accordingly). The only major missing feature is VRR/adaptive sync, because I really don't like playing CS2 with vsync.
Sadly they switched from dynamic tiling (river, awesome) to manual tiling (sway/i3-style), but together with the window-movement-animations it's awesome. Finally there's a desktop with a compositor made with tiling in mind, and not as an afterthought.
Also I find it great how many distros already have COSMIC packages in their community repos.
I noticed those language models don't work well for articles with dense information and complex sentence structure. Sometimes they forget the most important point.
They are useful as a TLDR but shouldn't be taken as fact, at least not yet and for the foreseeable future.
A bit off topic, but I've read a comment in another community where someone asked chatgpt something and confidently posted the answer. Problem: the answer is wrong. That's why it's so important to mark ~~AI~~ LLM generated texts (which the TLDR bots do).
Yes, they're using several abbreviations, without explaining them properly, which isn't ideal. It's likely to keep the article short, which comes at the expense of people unfamiliar with the topic)l/organizations.
Another news site I regularly visit has a small information button besides abbreviations with a popup to explain a term, which also links to Wikipedia. This makes understanding articles about unfamiliar topics way easier.
Is it because oft the author using multiple clauses and multiple layers of context in the first two paragraphs?
If yes, then I understand why. I find myself making the same mistake quite often because my first language is German, which often uses clauses (at least it's more common than in english).
I wonder whether they'll only release an OLED Switch, or if they'll sell the LED Switch first again.
As an enthusiast I'd be pretty pissed knowing to either wait a few years for the OLED or having to buy a second switch at some point. Reason being I can't imagine going back to an LED after gaming on an OLED for years. My phone constantly shows me what my Steam Deck is missing.
They do basic checking for known malware.
