Maybe it's worth having that security hole then. I think it's a bit crazy that terrorists or child abusers can plan their crimes using WhatsApp without the police being able to intercept their messages.

Also, if we're able to contact our banks over the internet securely (and obviously the bank can still see everything about our accounts if they want, while criminals hopefully won't be able to), then surely an equivalent should be possible for things like WhatsApp.

I think law enforcement should be able to intercept messages on services like WhatsApp, if someone is suspected of criminal activity.

Is it right for criminals to be able to share child abuse material, or plans for terrorism, over something like WhatsApp? Without law enforcement being able to intercept these messages?

I think law enforcement can break into your home if they have a court warrant, right? So why not allow the same thing with electronic communications?

No user of Reddit is powerless. Every single user of Reddit has the power to fuck with Reddit in whatever legal way they want, and they also they have the power to quit using Reddit.

Maybe they plan to park cars there.

Or maybe they just don't like cutting the grass. Can't blame them. I hate having to cut the grass all the time.

He'll be remembered for breaking rules yes, but he won't be remembered "as an innovator".

The chart here shows 37,000 active users for Lemmy, and this chart here shows 45,000 active users for Kbin.

And if the recent trend continues then those numbers should grow.

I just looked at Lemmygrad.ml. The rules on that site say "be respectful".

Your attached picture shows you are not respectful at all. You are supporting Putin, a dictator, who rigs elections, and who orders assassinations of political opponents (Navalny) and former Russian intelligence agents (Skripal, Litvinenko).

And of course Putin has in no way been respectful towards Ukraine. Invading Crimea in 2014, and the larger invasion in 2022.

So, you are being disrespectful towards Ukraine, and therefore you're not embodying the stated rules and values of your Lemmygrad server.

The real Donald Trump would probably stop supplying aid to Ukraine though, and thus force Ukraine to accept the loss of some of their territory. He's said publicly that he would get the war ended as soon as possible if he was president again, and I'm sure this is the sort of end he means.

Another problem with Trump is that he implied in an interview with Tucker Carlson that the US blew up the Nord Stream pipeline. I doubt this is true. I think Russia did it. Also, Trump didn't even believe his own intelligence agencies who said that Russia interfered in the 2016 US presidential election.

They might keep those users more engaged with this new app though. The Twitter format might be more successful for facilitating outrage and arguments than the Facebook format is.

And more engagement means more adverts shown and thus more revenue.

Well if only official Apple batteries will work, then that means Apple will jack up the price to something ridiculous, because they'll be the only option for a battery.

So hopefully third party batteries would work as well. I think third party batteries work in iPhones at the moment. So if we're able to install them much more easily then that would be very good.

Every country should do this. It's just a shame we have to wait until 2027 to see these phones.
