I’m confused regarding why you don’t consider telegram a private messenger.

I saw your previous post but didn’t comment.

IMO KDE neon is just phenomenal. Try the live CD before you make a choice.

Especially in a competitive market where compelling alternatives exist.

Especially in tech.

And especially in software.

The VLC team are heroes. Three cheers.

Totally agree

Your contributors must attribute copyright or agree to any reason license if you choose this. (This seems so obvious to me that I didn’t mention it)

But it’s still strictly superior to MIT licensing, which has the same requirement (since that’s part of copyright law, not party is the license itself), while still preventing commercial adoption under a different license.

This is simply wrong.

Is you release software that YOU OWN as AGPL, there is nothing stopping you from also licensing it as non AGPL, for a fee, in the future. I’m fact this is more possible with AGPL, since it disallows Tivoization.

If there’s a chance you want to make money off of it, AGPL is 1000x better than MIT. Once you release under MIT, a corporation can take it and do anything. If it’s AGPL a company can take it and do anything once they negotiate a license for it, and pay you for the privilege.

Not if the authors don’t offer it.

Which might mean there won’t be a purchase, but the copyright holders (authors) can make any terms they want, and offer those terms right along with the GPL license option.

It’s baffling why so many choose MIT instead of going this route.

X2go is a great option.

In my opinion you’re overthinking it.

Just get a live distro, put it on a USB, and boot into it. If it meets your needs, then install it.

GPL with a paid commercial option for companies that need closed source derivatives.

Google can accommodate billions of searches globally on pages it doesn’t control

Microsoft can’t index a tiny fraction of that number, even for it’s own users.

What a black eye for Microsoft engineering.

I you have to pay for it, but t’s amazing

This must be illegal in states where one or two party consent is required for wire tapping though, right?

Is Facebook bad for privacy?

Whatsapp is Facebook. Literally. Whatsapp sold themselves to Facebook.

So yes: it’s bad for privacy.

Same thing happened to me, initially, when 404 media created their site.

The name is clever, but it has to hurt them in exactly this way.

Aggregates video on many platforms into a single search and feed, so Twitter YouTube and Facebook for example are all in the same app

Your point is not unique: all websites require your trust.

So if that’s your threat model you can’t use any search engine.

But if we want to put that aside and discuss their stated policy, then the link I provided addressed the parent statement that

In some cases they must retain the information. Like your ISP in the USA had to retain data for le purposes.

Which directly refutes that there is any such requirement.

Your statement contradicts their stated policy, and I’m not aware of any such requirement in the US.

IP retention is addressed in the first paragraph under “privacy policy”, and it stated they don’t save or log it.

Right, they must respond to a subpoena. But they don’t retain search records, do they?
