Honestly, a very impressive move. Makes me way more confident in the trajectory of the company and I'm happy to have been a visionary user for multiple years.

I wonder, though, just how much of Proton A.G. does the foundation now own? They say it's the largest shareholder, but they didn't say "majority shareholder".

Better than Firefox being blocked in Russia. Addons can be added from files anyway.

This. Nowadays people mostly buy TVs when their old ones break. There's no marginal improvement. The industry is here to stay, but its high growth days are in the past.

You know, the guy on the internet might have also been doing stuff all that time

Probably has something to do with fewer political posts

From my experience of getting other people on Signal, the main issue is that not everyone is already on it. People generally want to use only one app and it attracts them to the most popular one because they don't need to switch as much.

Secondary issues are:

  • No automatic phone transfer (no cloud backups, has to be done manually)
  • No large public channels

I might add another one, but it applies to WhatsApp too - it's crazy that there's still no easy way to move between iOS and Android...

I suspect a lot of CSAM searches come from underage users themselves

Wdym "boring", what do you want a messenger app to do? It does what it's there for and it does it well.

1password should just open source its apps. IMHO, security and infrastructure software has no business being closed source.

Personally, I care about the phone number requirement not because I don't want to reveal it to Signal servers, but because it limits access to Signal for people in countries that block their SMS service - registration messages just don't arrive

Thoughts on Huel? (fitnessclone.com)
submitted 11 months ago by [email protected] to c/asklemmy
 

I've recently started eating/drinking Huel quite a bit and am finding it great so far! Tried it a couple of times before and used to get slight inflammation, but since they removed gluten, it seems to work quite well for me.

Do you use it? Is it actually healthy? Do you like it? Any side effects?

 

I'm sure there are some AI peeps here. Neural networks scale with size because the number of combinations of parameter values that work for a given task scales exponentially (or, even better, factorially if that's a word???) with the network size. How can such a network be properly aligned when even humans, the most advanced natural neural nets, are not aligned? What can we realistically hope for?

Here's what I mean by alignment:

  • Ability to specify a loss function that humanity wants
  • Some strict or statistical guarantees on the deviation from that loss function as well as potentially unaccounted side effects
