Do you know yourself for a fact that no data is being taken by Sync itself?

And its a fact that Google and Firebase are taking your data. Even if Sync itself doesn't collect any data, it uses Google products (as stated in their Privacy Policy which I'm 1000% you did read), and any and all google products will take your data.

That's the point of using a FOSS client, if it collected data people would know, the code is public. And the data collection can be removed, since the code is public.

Even outside of data collection or privacy, which clearly you don't care about, we should avoid giving Google more power. Look at manifest v3 or the web integrity API. That affects not only your privacy, but your security and ability to use the internet. And not only yours, but the whole world

You have to accept to being tracked by Google, having an advertising id, all the data Firebase collects. Their ToS is large.

Users were asking for it, that's true. I guess users don't really care about being tracked, allowing google into their phone and indirectly supporting them controlling the web, thus enabling them to do things like manifest v3 or the web integrity API.

Ads? understandable, the dev has bills to pay. Not open source? Purists may hate it, but not the end of the world. Tracking? Google? No thanks, the beautiful design is not worth it.

My isp gives me something a public ip like 200.191.57.xxx, but that ip changes and I can't open any port. Then my isp's router's local network is 192.168.0.xxx, my TP link router connects there (to 192.168.0.3 i think). Then my TP link manages ips 192.168.1.xxx. My jelly server is at 192.168.1.10, my devices are at 192.168.1.5, 8, etc.

Everything is local, nothing goes outside

From my internal IP (192.168.1.xx), I don't access it from the outside (can't open ports on residential connection in my country :c )

All my devices are connected to my own router, then that router connects to my isp router, which then connects to the internet, so its very weird.

The only thing I configured was reserving an ip address for my server on my router, but I don't think that should influence...

... but if even if they were to earn minimum wage, they can just, you know, take bribes? Just don't tell anyone about it. Or pass laws that benefit them.

I think that would allow a "better" democracy in paper, but not much would change. Using my country as an example:

  1. One person, one vote, voting is mandatory, if you don't vote you have to pay penalties and lose access to many government services. Businesses are required to give time off for voting. Elections are so fragmented that in the last one a person with 15% of the total votes won. People voted for they in second round only because they were the lesser of two evils.

Candidats are still shit, evil persons that only care about using the government to enrich themselves (and have a history of doing so), most of the population are so bad educated that they only need to hear a few promises to vote for them.

  1. Not implemented. Would be specially nice for the fragmentation.

  2. We only have congress. Still corrupt, still holds most of the power, uses it to gain money through laws that benefit them and their businesses. It is very fragmented, but it doesn't matter, because they join when they need to pass a law that benefits them. Leaders of the political parties decide which laws to pass, and tell the congresspeople how to vote. If someone does't vote as they are told, they are removed from congress.

And to get to congress you have to bribe a lot of money to a lot of people, so no one would self destruct after getting in debt before realizing some earnings.

  1. Supreme court justices are not permanent, last only 5 years, no reelections, appointed by congress. So what? Just do the things that need to be done during your 5 years. After that the new congress will place new puppets. If a major scandal is revealed, you'll be protected by congress, allowed to leave the country with all your money, and forgotten in a few years.

  2. Bribes are illegal, lobbying is illegal. We did it Patrick! Bribery is no more! You can just get money off the table. However, here the opposite is argued. Congresspeople and the president should have the highest salaries, so that they wouldn't have incentives to take bribes (they earn so much, why risk it to get more). But even if they were

TIL I have to manually enable hardware acceleration. Will try it. Still not a good default experience, hope it gets better soon.

I don't think its a issue with wayland mode, I tried Xorg/Wayland/Nvidia/Amd/Intel/Arch/Ubuntu, always had that problem.

Firefox flaptak, can't play a video and go back a few seconds, or the video freezes but audio continues. Such a basic feature and it's broken...
