Love it. While not all titles get replaced (crowd sourced) just the fact that the thumbnails get normalized is enough for it to be worth it.
This is the way to do it.
all of these features are on-demand
none of the things you don’t [need] (such as user data harvesting, ads & tracking).
Choice of leading LLM models from all the leading providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, …)
All threads are private by default, retained only as long as you want and subscriber data is not used for training models
Lots of OSS is created by people who want to create something, and happily gives it away to others too.
The problem is when others start depending, and demanding, work from that person. There is no good solution to that problem at the moment.
if I compile mtproto self from github
You didn’t understand why I quoted that part the first time around. Let’s try it again.
Yeah I am a cryptographer, reverse engineer and (whitehat) hacker. I’m also well versed in the russian influence operations having run rampant in the west for a bit more than a decade.
The Telegram-supporters are out in force right now specifically to make sure people keep using Telegram, believing it to be secure. Russia has already made used of their backdoors against Ukraine in the war.
Russia banning Signal now was a huge blunder, since that proves there’s nothing in Telegram they don’t have access to, having allowed it to keep operating.
“Access to the Signal messaging app is blocked in connection with violation of the requirements of Russian legislation which must be complied with to prevent the use of messaging apps for terrorist and extremist aims”
Russian authorities began to block access to Telegram, a widely used messaging app, in 2018. The action interrupted many third-party services, but had little effect on the availability of Telegram in Russia.
Your .ru domain makes your comments in this discussion meritless.

Not “somehow”. The authorities know Telegram can indeed backdoor their service, since they know it already is. They also know Signal cannot.
Thus, since Telegram can but refuses, he gets arrested.
Russia banned Signal, but not Telegram, to make sure their citizens couldn’t plan any subversive activities against the state.
That’s all we needed to know for sure.
Sorry, I forgot to make it clear that the point was that your “maybe in the future…” is already the same as how it works now. No difference.
This is how the protocol works.
You only get content from those you follow (in your home feed).
Your server’s local feed will contain all posts made by users on your server.
Your server’s global feed will contain all posts from users someone on your server follows.
Note how #3 isn’t actually a global feed. Spin up your own server at home and it will be the same as your home feed when you’re the only users.
Even if you federate with Threads, there’s simply no way for them to “inject ads” into any of these feeds.
You don’t get posts from accounts you don’t follow. My server’s global feed only includes posts from accounts people on my server follow.
Just claiming “it will” is not a counter argument. That’s not how the protocol works.
I follow many Threads accounts.
/literally one more than no one
No, not bold. You don’t get posts from accounts you don’t follow.
Creating ads as if they are from a person would get Threads instabanned in the EU.
Ads don’t federate.
I pay 25EUR for a family subscription. Unlimited queries. Also means the risk of family members downloading malware (through paid ad results) is a lot lower.
There will always be those who offer things for free, always has been. Granted, we might’ve gotten used to higher quality (paid for by ads) and will need to “settle” for lower quality if we don’t pay with money - but I think for humanity’s sake this is something that needs to be done.
I’m hoping just as Proton do good free stuff using money I pay them (Visionary account) Kagi does/will do the same. The Internet as a whole needs to stop being ad-supported.
Not just a meta search engine though - they do have their own index as well.

IANAL - but I’ve worked for Big Company and have gone through the patent process a few times. A patent isn’t what’s written in the supporting text and abstract. It’s only the exact thing written out in the claims.
First claim from the patent the abstract is from:
Exactly everything described above must be done in that exact same way for there to be an infringement.
