Anytime you have bad/no cellular reception. Think being at a large event where the cell network is saturated, or in a rural area with no cell service.

Briar does not require an internet connection. It can send messages over Bluetooth and WiFi.

Yep, Strava doesn’t have any problems using OpenStreetMaps. No reason they couldn’t either.

They have a PeerTube instance but they don’t mirror it. They must be uploading them manually for some reason, so they’re delayed.

I’ve been using Yunohost for a while, it makes all the stuff soooo much easier. Especially reverse-proxying.

I wish they would just mirror [email protected] already

The authoritarian government wants unfettered surveillance? Who could have seen this coming?

…you just said it did. That was the initiation of this entire conversation.

Google is not killing sideloading. If the dev is willing to submit to Apple for verification, they’d probably not object to submitting it to Google.

E: downvotes for facts, I guess? 🤷

But being used to something isn’t the same as being ok with it

Doesn’t matter if they’re okay with it or not, as long as they tolerate it and don’t do anything about it.

I still am. So are many others.

Sure but many many more have accepted it. Otherwise they never would have done it again.

Remember Concord?

Concord clearly had much bigger problems.

Remember when Overwatch was going to have a story?

I remember Overwatch still being a wild success regardless.

But what about the second? Or the third? Or the tenth?
