Am I the only one that hates third-party clients for Desktop? They all have terrible UI and UX. Firefox + UBlock + Youtube is the way to go. For the phone it’s NewPipe or Grayjay.

Isn’t the US already a surveillance country?

This is completely unrelated.

Besides, how does AI suddenly become sentient?

Good. Competition is good.

Do you feel attacked?

This has nothing to do with privacy either. First of all Telegram is not a private messenger. Secondly, this is a about public forums and groups called Channels. This has nothing to do with backdoors eithe. They are simply asking them to do moderation on chats they already have access too.

Telegram has full access to this data and knowingly ignores child pornography and other criminal activity. If Facebook did such a thing for years you’d be screaming right now.

Do you have any idea what the cost is to restore 50 TB from that?

I assumed you’re only paying per GB storage. At least that’s what their S3 pricing page says. I believe transfer cost only applies if you transfer from one S3 solution to another. I’m not using it myself, so I don’t know the details. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

What happens when they decide to raise the price?

If you depend on AWS you’re doing something wrong. You should at least adher to the 3-2-1 backup plan. If you do so, you can switch away from AWS any time they change their policy.

If you’re this paranoid for your backups, I’d just go with AWS Glacia and dump all your encrypted data twice a year. You can get a TB of backup for about 1 € / month.

Surely you will

Dumbass didn’t encrypt the chats and didn’t do moderation according to local laws. If Facebook did the same as his company did, Mark Zuckerberg would share his fate.

Get M-discs. It’s a special type of Blu-ray that lasts for hundrets if not thousands of years. You can use a regular Blu-ray burner to write to it.

M-Disc Blu-rays last a thousand years literally. It will outlive all of your other mediums a hundred-fold.

Only 50k? I thought it would be much more than that. Didn’t know Lemmy was still this small after all these years.

You have to go well outside the US to find reliable and neutral news. They don’t know about it or are in denial.

Valve doing their Valve thing.

It’s beyond me how they can affors all of these free games and exclusive but not a single capable developer to make this platform beyond just the bare minimum.

I gave Epic’s store a chance but even after all this time it’s still shit and very far from feature parity with Steam. There’s not even proper reviews. No big-picture equivalent. No good out-of-the-box Linux support. No Steam-Deck. The list is very very long. Until Epic starts delivering, the 30% cut Valve takes is more than justified.

I’d be willing to pay for their service if it didn’t entail creating an account and letting me get tracked even further.

I don’t know what the solution is, but ads isn’t, a Google account isn’t, but piracy isn’t either.

You die if your website is not indexed by the largest search engine.
