Can confirm that this is not true. I have multi device set up and it works just fine.

Not just files, but also your messages. However, it's not as "centralized" as you think. The messages are stored across the Loki network, not just on one centralized server.

Another con I would add is that it is painfully slow. There's often a delay of 10-15 or more seconds between sending a text message and receiving it. Interestingly, media files have about the same "lag". This makes faster conversations difficult, since I would send a message and an older message would backfill in making my message irrelevant. For example, I would receive "I have an idea", send back "what is the idea", but then a few seconds later a message would backfill in and appear before the message I just sent with clarification on the idea.
But that being said, I still think Session is one of the best truly-secure messengers out there. It's bug-free enough for daily use, very decentralized, solves the "offline message" issue. The only concern I have left is their weird crypto integration. The nodes in the Loki network are crypto nodes and it requires staking some $LOKI to join the pool. You do get rewarded for participating in some ways, however.
The power went out where I am right as the temps dropped. That means no heating. Luckily, I was able to get my fireplace running, despite it being fully electric-controlled and we were out of batteries (I just wired together a bunch of triple A's and it happened to work)
I made something similar a few years back when I was learning web dev. It's not nearly as polished, but I'd love to pick apart your code and see what design decisions we did similarly/differently
It's gotta grow at a rate of e^x so that the rate of growth is also the rate of the rate of growth and also is the rate of the rate of the rate of the rate of the rate...
That's a Starship robot. We have them around my college campus. They're typically super safe when crossing roads, but sometimes they just decide to wander out in front of a car.
My concern wasn't that Privacy.com knows who is using their service, but with rather how they choose to know that information through a third party (Onfido) and how terrible Onfido's privacy policy is.
Even with those solar cars, it would be better off for them to plug into a larger grid and set of solar panels compared to the small ones built in. The purpose of those small panels is to charge when no charging is available. In this case, if enough current and charge is available (via solar canopies and mains power) then the built in panel is useless.
