During university I gave additional lessons for lower semesters and at times had to juggle three languages: Java, Typescript and plain JavaScript for that one professor who thought TS sucks.

Coding on the spot got really messy at times.

Which alternatives do you recommend?

As designed by Google? Yes. Does it break security in general? No. I am not deep into Android security, but AFAIK the main issue with custom ROMs is the open bootloader, which Graphene does not have.

*furiously waves book around*

As is tradition with MS and their complicated naming policies Visual Studio is not VS Code.

Nah, slap a ‘Data lake’ label on it and call it a day

In case you are serious: Lemmy.ml is known for being a tankie instance. So a nonsensical anti-west statement makes a lot more sense considering the instance the user chose.

Yay, let’s all hate on the one crypto messenger, that is independently verifiably secure.

If Telegram wasn’t good for privacy, Western governments would not be trying to shut it down.

They are not trying shutdown Telegram, they are trying to control it.

E2EE is nice, but doesn’t matter if the government can just sieze or hack your phone. Much better to use non-Western social media and messaging apps.

What kind of argument is this supposed to be? Governments can size your phone anywhere … oh wait … lemmy.ml … yeah, I see…

It IS the point. If Telegram was designed and set up as a pure carrier of encrypted information, no one could/should fault them for how the service is used.

However, this is not the case, and they are able to monitor and control the content that is shared. This means they have a moral and legal responsibility to make sure the service is used in accordance with the law.

I am going to quote myself here:

The issue I see with Telegram is that they retain a certain control over the content on their platform, as they have blocked channels in the past. That’s unlike for example Signal, which only acts as a carrier for the encrypted data.

If they have control over what people are able to share via their platform, the relevant laws should apply, imho.

Well, except Telegram isn’t a good tool for privacy.

There is no E2EE. Simple encryption is only available for 1:1 chats and disabled by default. Telegram doesn’t disclose their encryption methods, so there is no way to verify the (in)effectiveness. Telegram is able to block channels from their end, so there is no privacy from their end either.

Good point!

Now hold my beer for a second, English is just my second language, but “built” is past tense for “build”, isn’t it?

• They build a trailer filled with AI → Present tense, i.e. they are doing it right now
• They built a trailer filled with AI → Past tense, i.e. the trailer is finished.

TL;DR: A permissive license allows doing almost everything, including turning the code into proprietary products.

For what? Destabilizing the whole technological ecosystem of the planet is not a crime. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Avocados originate from Mesoamerica where Winters are mild. They have no dormant period.

Unless OPs living space is constantly below ~15°C, it shouldn’t be an issue.

It’s definitely something that happens to people often, but in your case you can clearly see the leaves hanging towards the floor. While indoors, I tend to water my Avocados when I notice the leaves starting to hang.

Of course, check the soil first. If you poke your finger in a couple centimeters and you can feel moisture, you can still wait a bit.

Should work, but your tree needs water.
