What do you mean by that? SUSE products are for sale, OpenSUSE products are free.

what exactly happened to bazzite? I've seen so much hype around the distro and buzz among normal people, that it almost became THE normal gamer distro, so much so it completely overshadowed nobara and whatever other gamer gimmick distros are out there

This is such an insane sentence I genuinely don't know if it's supposed to be demoralizing bait or you genuinely just said this

Are they going to leak IDs of minors again like they did last time? Who does this protect exactly?

This is cool. Telegram also has a Premium feature which crawls the contents of (presumably) all public channels on the platform. It's limited to 10 searches per day and doesn't search for old content if there are too many retrieved posts.

It's legal to just put kids in foster care for no reason but to ruin someone's life?

>This is the worst way to assses E2EE deployment. 5D-chess.

How would you explain the fact that WhatsApp remains unblocked in Russia, when all other major messengers except Telegram and Meta's own products all got banned there?

>Telegram also requires a phone number. If you didn't have double standards, I bet you'd have no standards.

Not my point. I'm pointing out a flaw that both messengers share.

>TG has no idea how to make seamless E2EE like Signal.

Because it's never seamless. Loading your messages on Signal can take quite a while. Also if you receive a message over 2 weeks ago without checking your phone in the meantime, you may as well have never received it.

>You ignoring that Signal is both open source and always E2EE and complaining about it's "proprieatry blobs" yet looking past TG's atrocious E2EE speaks volumes.

Why are you ignoring the fact Signal actively prohibits third-party clients? Why the air quotes on proprieatry blobs? Yes, Telegram is far from perfect, and inferior to Signal when it comes to E2EE. But what makes you reject the proprieatry blob claim when it's true? Because your favorite messenger is being attacked?

Currently, the Russian government is trying to squeeze people out of Telegram and move them over to MAX: https://caspianpost.com/regions/russia-tightens-telegram-res... WhatsApp also operates in Russia, despite Instagram and Facebook being banned. So I wouldn't count on its E2EE either. Signal still requires a phone number and proprietary Google blobs on mobile. Many third-party Telegram clients exist - Signal allows none.

If it's as flaky as YouTube's age estimation, it's just ID by default.

Legally, it doesn't matter. You can talk to people? Social media it is.

Are they going to conduct an uncontrolled human experiment by requiring age checks to use the Internet (read: surveillance capitalism and Orwellian lack of privacy)?

I know the default assumption with Telegram is that they can read all your messages, but unlike WhatsApp they seem less cooperative and I never got the notion that they ever read private messages until the Macron incident, and even then they do if the other party reports them. How come they are able to be this exception despite not having end to end encryption by default?

By the way, if anyone is looking to switch from Firefox, Floorp is also heavily invested in AI.
