There will never be any video platform that attracts talent until they pay uploaders. Every YouTube channel that has paid staff will never post anyone else, except a few on Runble. Either buy a subscription on other view websites or YouTube is the only option for anyone to not work for free. It seems that Twitter is starting to pay users but for serious information, shows, and livestreams, everyone watches on YouTube. Again, start paying out of your own cash if you want other sites to build something. I do see an alternative in the future due how giant YouTube is and its censorship of unapproved thoughts it's going to implode on itself.

When superficially labeling anyone as "far right" for having a different view without understanding their nuances, it shows that you demand all people must be forced into conforming living under a tyrannical dictatorship because dissent is never allowed.

Does something like this look like it might work? It requires having an extra phone?

Intel should add a top processor for each Core Ultra level without e-cores and watch how those sell. Yes, AMD is whipping them on performance, but having 2 architectures together is not helping. Make 3 processors without any e-cores in the die.

It is a libre web browser, that's all I care about.

After looking for a browser without anti-features, I have settled on using FREE Browser

I can not understand what you are asking. Is a word or 2 missing from your question?

It's a cat and mouse game for contact numbers. For example, Android's Messages app can report all phone numbers of sent and received messages back to Google. You will never get millions of users to change which proprietary app they use for texting, so I do my part to have no numbers, no contacts, and never send a text message.

Only if you do not register your phone number with any service like Signal, bank does not require 2FA before you can access your account, and you never need any company to send you a message.

That's a fantasy that SimpleX will ever catch on over Signal. You have to look at in the sense of path of least resistance for that mass market, not one individual person to another individual person. Keep in mind why it's too difficult to sign up for a Mastodon account so it's easier to stay on Twitter. People promote the benefits of Mastodon but nobody has ever built any success in the mass market or built a name for themself on Mastodon over using Facebook and Twitter. Name a company that people know in other countries and only uses fediverse exclusively. It's the lowest number you can think of. As long as people have someone's Twitter handle, everybody can find them. That's why Signal is the best option, because people only have to post their username or give out their phone number, and everybody can be found on Signal.

For example, if you and I have a mutual contact, you could tell them to message me on Signal and you give them my info so they can talk with me there. If a company starts using Signal and posts the company's number saying they are on Signal similar to how a lot of companies outside of North America use Whatsapp with the company number, the company can also use Signal as another contact option. That's why SimpleX will never grow beyond people who pay attention to protecting persona privacy.

Look at PGP, it's 30 years old, how many times has a person asked you for your public key?

There's why I do not have or use Contacts on phone. There is no phone numbers in my phone. I have a couple copies of a text file with phone numbers save on USB's and I think a BSD server. There's no contact info that apps can scan to get other people's emails or numbers.

 

I know Whatsapp several tenants of privacy, but outside of North America, everybody has Whatsapp. We need to unify to spread the message of Signal as an alternative, not SimpleX.

Anyways, I've noticed a pattern as I do have Whatsapp, when I get random texts that looks suspicious, I use the app "Open In WhatsApp" and enter the phone number from the text to start a chat in Whatsapp, and 99% of the time it says that phone number is not registered for Whatsapp, thereby showing it is most likely spam. Of course that is not 100% of the case, as some people don't use Whatsapp, some businesses do use Whatsapp, but it can be a safe bet if the text number is not on Whatspp, it's very very likely spam and best to block without replying

I saw a post on here months of someone posted their reply to a text that said something like "Hi, my name is Sharon, who will you most likely vote for in the next election?" with a list of options. and they boastfully got suckered to take the bait and fell into the trap. By replying, they showed it was a live and valid number to now sell their phone number to other spammers. Never ever reply to a random message until you can guarantee who that came from.

HAHAHA That's good. That's a good one

 

Hearing about the 5090 dies with missing ROPs, that sounds between misleading and fraudulent. Having 5090s with 176 ROPs, other 5090s with 168 ROPS, that's on the die of the GPU that gets send to board partners, MSI, Zotac, ASUS, Gigabyte, etc. Whoever made the GPU, that are not to blame, they got the die of the GPU from nVidia, but obviously didn't know that part of the GPU functionality if missing.

Having GPU dies or chips sent to companies that do not match publicly stated specs from nVidia merits a legal investigation.
