This 100% needs to be reported. First to KIA, then to the media after whatever time is required to pass for responsible disclosure in your country/region.
fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.comto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Original Crysis suddenly vanishes on Steam in another blow to preservationEnglish7·9 days agoThat’s not how preservation works.
If it’s not made freely available, and is only held by previous purchasers with no transferable rights, it is not preserved.
What you are describing is the debate over content ownership, and if that were the topic at hand, you would he spot on. But preservation is something different. Preservation is about the long game.
You are an absolute genius. If I was in a house I would build this 100% (I build all kinds of random things).
Also, tell your husband to do the dishes if it’s so easy.Reading hard.

fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.comto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Meta could track your browser sessions even in incognito and link them with your real identityEnglish3·19 days agoBut the conversation is unique in each community. And each community may not have federated to every instance. This is the Fediverse, not a single site with sub communities.
I do think it would be nice if a client/backend could:
- Take any cross-post link from the main post
- Query any description/comments for cross posts
- Add to the currently displayed comments
- Tack on descriptions as comment blocks with an @ to the cross posting OP to the displayed description
- Mark cross-posts as read when main is read
This would be easier in Lemmy, but could be done with a client, Thunder might be interested.

It’s like
apt
for installing directly from Github releases. A plug, sure, but I still use it regularly for things like FreeCAD, Cura, OrcaSlicer, and so on.

That blog entry is almost 7 years old. Sealed Sender came a long time ago.

The literal quote you provide has a link on “exploring techniques” that you didn’t click. It takes you to another blog post for the launch of Private Contact Discovery, which takes you to a repo of the service, but because your cutting and pasting such old stuff even that’s been replaced by a V2.
Please take a step back and read the technical docs, or at least more recent info.
As ratcheting and chaining are used, messages are sent with rotating keys on ebery message as the sender/recipient identifiers for the messages, not the phone number. It would be way easier to tap Google for Firebase notifications to get to what you are talking about.
And the capability argument is moot if it’s been proven in court to not be done today. You could say that about any service that uses push notifications that go through cloud providers.

Scroll scroll scroll. Oh.
Thanks for the giveaway! Wish I could give away codes I’ve redeemed and haven’t played.
As if. Bye bye neighborhood library boxes.
Searching for Garmin Tempe ANT+ changes since it was deprecated. Two people were debating how they measure temperature during their rides. Another commenter said if they weren’t careful, they’d start a thread like… link.
So yes, unrelated, found, never seen before, thus the XKCD.
