Just wanna be clear that this didn’t happen because of some technical flaw/vulnerability in Signal. This was completely Human Error

My first thought as well. “Weird they were allowing it before…”

I think the point they’re making is you can effectively have a self hosted non federated option with Matrix. Just disable federation as a whole (which I’m pretty sure is completely possible. Given companies use matrix for comms, and might not want federation, for similar reasons to what is being discussed here)

Don’t have a good rec to add to the discussion of hardware, but I would love to give a shoutout to GadgetBridge, which is an Open Source Android app that is a vendorless alternative to controlling lots of smart wearables (and other gadgets). It doesn’t currently have Polar support, but seems that might be fairly easy to implement, since polar publishes their SDK online (and presumably the protocol with which it communicates).

Why would it make sense? Currently on Android, RCS isn’t a system level thing like SMS is. So Signal won’t easily be able to pull it in. Unless they implement their own implementation of RCS and the Universal Profile.

Don’t forget he keeps his anti assassination escort with him. Either next to him or sitting on his shoulders whenever he’s in public

Same with Lake Ontario. “Ontario” is Iroqois for “Beautiful Lake” or “Big body of water”

The word Ontario originates an Iroquois word meaning “beautiful lake,” “beautiful water,” or “big body of water,”

It would be awesome if Polar was supported by GadgetBridge, because then you could have fully offline and private control of the device.

GB recently got Garmin support and it’s pretty solid. I switched from the Garmin app to GB exclusively and haven’t lost really any features. Besides the social networking, but that omission is a feature, not a bug.

If it’s really 3rd party friendly, I wonder how easy it would be to get support.

Thanks, I hate it

https://www.ebooks.com/en-us/ has a filter when searching for DRM free content.

SG1 represent. A lot of people say it’s old and campy, but I love it so much

Sorry, I don’t. I’m in the US. Idk if they do international, but Zappos may be an option? Although I think they got bought by amazon. To I avoid them now

I have sympathy… I have size 17 4E. From 12-17 my age was my shoe size. I stopped being able to get shoes in store for the most part at 13

Edit: I have had the best luck recently buying shoes here https://bigshoes.com/

Last year I found Nikes my size. Then they immediately went out of stock after I got them. This year the next version was available when I just happened to check the site. I bought two pairs and another pair of more dressy casual shoes

To be fair, I have a buddy who works at square. He said that the CEO is actually really passionate about Tidal.

OK. Good. I haven’t seen that site. I was thinking it had to be fake.

Gonna be completely honest, I thought it was JK Rowling.

A well-known British children’s fantasy author has confirmed that she’s written her first ever autistic character, according to sources.

Given JK’s history…

Define “a minute”. I normally get things from Usenet within minutes of it finishing airing

It’s very sweet. Gonna through DrunkenSlug in as well. I’ve used geek, eweka, slug, and abnzb. I currently use geek and slug. Eweka is also great, just didn’t re-up. Abnzb is meh.

Tbf, I am not a grey beard chief engineer, and I strongly prefer VHDL for design. For verification I actually really like SystemVerilog.

VHDL is strongly types, which prevents a lot of issues with types that I’ve hit with [System]Verilog.

Also, having learned VHDL first, I think it is easier to go from VHDL to Verilog, as opposed to vice versa. And this is mainly because VHDL is stricter.
