I’m not paying for Telegram and I haven’t noticed missing out anywhere because of it. I’m using the APK file instead of the Play Store version because the latter censors Russian media channels (and I hate censorship). I wasn’t even aware there were premium accounts.

I’m in 2 dozen channels, have a few friends who mainly use Telegram instead of the competitors and I haven’t noticed a single issue, except for their homegrown encryption scheme.

🤷‍♂️

Agreed, Porkbun are great.

So you’re completely uninformed and yet chime in with your opinion? The danger is real and this isn’t a reporting issue.

Same here. I’m using Syncthing to keep states synched between my MacBook and Pixel. All I’m missing is a shared grocery list for me and my girlfriend.

What a graceful statement from him. Damn. 😭

In a better world I’d appreciate this. In our current capitalist hell scape, stuff like this will land in the wrong hands.

Nope, thanks.

Definitely, I didn’t mean to sound too defeatist.

The put.io Google/Android TV app is pretty decent, as long as you don’t have to reencode content.

Yeah, they’re the VHS of video calling software.

It’s because they’re corrupt and young people are just as susceptible to lobbyists bribes, unfortunately. The gerontocracy doesn’t make things better though, that’s for sure.

Who said that? Ignore what he and Zuckerberg are taking about regarding this fake PR fight that’s never going to happen.

Of course everyone should be critical of what these people are doing but don’t jump through their deceptive hoops but actually do some digging into what they’re all up to, who they do deals with, who they meet outside of the public eye.

They’re not going to advertise the interesting shady stuff via their Twitter fights.

Come on, man.

I think this is a lazy take to keep on posting about their artificial drama.

Be careful with that koolaid, man.

Let me throw my seedbox into the ring. :)

You don’t have to convert to mobi anymore. The Kindle backend supports epub for a couple of months already. I’ve also read reports that Kindle’s can now convert ePub by themselves if you copy ePub files via cable but I haven’t verified that myself.

Can confirm, though it’s unlikely to be some piracy check. The epub just has a couple of errors that might make it difficult for Amazon’s server-side epub parsing implemention:

Unfortunately I couldn’t find any other epub versions. Though I just discovered the Kindle ePub fix project and converted the ePub to a fixed version using the en language tag. That seems to work because the book just showed up in my Kindle library. :)
