Technically all certificates are pinned, especially with public CAs, most OS package the latest CA certs which will all go out of style within 10 years or so. You can see this by loading up any old distro or defunct version of windows.

I'd still be using Ubuntu sometimes if it weren't for the snaps thing. They only make sense for proprietary software... but snaps still suck. I don't like packaged software. They contain all kinds of things that can't be updated. The app store was getting better before all that changed. Now Debian seems better, but I still prefer source based distros like Gentoo because the ingredients come with recipes.

Support matrix!! It already has international support, just needs to be a bit better with stickers and qol stuff. I've been using it for years. It's nice to know I don't have to worry about my privacy at all with chat rooms that can continue on without the original server.

It's not actually possible to return one of these cyber trucks due to rules involving sale after purchase.

I feel like the wide and often free availability of narcan and improved quality of safer drugs like weed are making a difference.

I added whisper and have never looked back. Sometimes it's not exactly right but it's usually obvious and funny 🤣

I've been really enjoying prodigy and wow season 2 really kicked it up a notch! Loving all the Janeway action. Lots of good Voyager characters too.

There's no way a judge is gonna allow this. Outrageous. The language is way out of scope.

It doesn't matter if it is a business entity operating under a government then you can never really know because gag orders. Centralized servers can be blocked. Telegram and Signal apps could have a back door. This is why open stack is important. And not just the code. Also encryption is default for p2p one on one conversations. It's not in channels by default because it can complicate public use.

Yeah the main thing is that the ports and addresses can change and it's nbd. From a firewall perspective, it's impossible to block them all. Especially when the clients are doing mundane https requests. Even if the server goes down or partial connectivity, the channel can still be used.

It cannot be easily blocked especially if you use your own homeserver every homeserver replicates the channel and it can operate without the original server! That's why signal and telegram are inherently flawed.

I can answer this! All matrix calls are over https APIs. Ports and addresses are stored in a text file on the base domain or in DNS txt entry.
