Yea this is a very worrisome denial.
Fair enough. Happy May Day.
I don't agree that Wikipedia used to be the only place. There were plenty of competing encyclopedias, it was simply the best long-term.
That's a good comparison I hadn't honestly thought of! Thanks
They don't. I've been on the same Debian install on laptop and desktop for years. It'll make some odd decisions with packages sometimes, but it hasn't bricked.
I don't have hard data, but you don't see these kinds of posts about Debian, Mint, Ubuntu or Fedora.
I always interpreted Snowpiercer (the movie) as being somewhat ambiguous about whether there were other people. We only have the word of people we already know are authoritarians that lie to keep order.
Yea, I think there's some truth in that argument when it comes to temperature - I know I can adjust to pretty hot or cold weather after a while. But yea, no matter how much I love biking I am less likely to do it in the rain or snow, where it's not only more uncomfortable but also more dangerous.
Ah yea, could use some updating for sure. Good catch
I have one and do so. It's pretty great. I will admit I still have some google services on it, but I'm working on not needing those.
A real transition will happen in bursts. I'd love to see stats by interest categories, because I suspect what happens is enough prominent people in some community move at to bring the rest with them, but until that happens there's no budge.
No experience with Magic Earth but I've used Organic Maps a lot when trying to use Google less. The offline maps are great, I can get a route quickly when I don't have internet (like on a roadtrip), this has really helped in a few pinches. The navigation is usually fine, but it doesn't know a lot of private addresses in my city. The dataset is always improving but clearly behind Google.

Yea, I couldn't tell you the specifics. I know new members of group chats don't see any previous messages. I think it might re-negotiate the keys every time someone is added. It's probably not meant to scale up to very large groups (tho I've never tried), but I've noticed no issues in 25ish people chats.
