if you are in Germany, try opening ria.ru. It’s not like we are deprived of something worthy - it is Russian propaganda after all, but it tells enough about freedom of speech.
Works for me.

> you can't ping it
WTF?..
(My Linux machine can, but I’ve no clue if I should trust that now.)
Doesn't work on my Arch Linux. Neither does pinging ::ffff:127.0.0.1. Pinging 127.0.0.1 and ::1 works.

The vast majority of people using "end to end encrypted" messaging systems fail to verify the identity of their contacts. So those running the servers can fairly trivially MITM the messages. So in practice it does matter who controls the servers.
The good thing is that verifying the other contact is invisible to the server in Signal. This means that it's stochastically sufficient that a few people do check their contacts in order to see whether there is any widespread MITMing going on.

My point wasn't that we should or shouldn't have it. I just get the impression that the same people calling for privacy will be highly outraged the next time, for example, an Austin Wolf (gay porn 'star' who used Telegram to share thousands of files showing abuse of children) situation arises, or it's inevitably revealed that religious sect xyz coordinated over it. Europeans trash talk Telegram (and that is fine), but somehow Matrix is different? How?
Telegram isn't end-to-end encrypted btw, so when law enforcement asks for data, Telegram actually has it.

It's exactly the same encryption tech, but a bit more trustworthy than signal.
It's less encrypted. E.g. you'd think that emoji reactions are end-to-end-encrypted (as they are in Signal). But they aren't[1]. I expect similar implementation issues wrt. the encryption in Matrix.
Grok had a moment where it was perfect, for some things for me, then a few months ago Elon wanted to do a major overhaul to Grok 3 and its been downhill since.
Too many LLMs be scolding you over miniscule things. Like say a perfectly sane request: give me a regex that filters out the nword in an exhaustive fashion. Most LLMs will cry to me about how I am a terrible human and it will not say racist things. Meanwhile I'm trying to get a regex to stop others from saying awful things.
Can you give me an example? Works for me on https://chatgpt.com/.

Big botnet has nothing better to do than DDoS Minecraft servers?
Same happens to our online game: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28675094. Not sure what it is about online games that attracts DDoSes.

> Go also has the unique ability to compile a cross-platform binary, which I can run on any machine.
Huh? Is this true? I know Go makes cross-compiling trivial - I've tried it in the past, it's totally painless - but is it also able to make a "cross platform binary" (singular)?
How would that work? Some kind of magic bytes combined with a wrapper file with binaries for multiple architectures?
Not what OP meant, but there's a project doing what you ask for: https://justine.lol/cosmopolitan/. It's quite interesting. :)
