> I am convinced the NSA is sitting on an ample collection of useful 0-days, 0 click vulnerabilities and they can access Windows/Linux/MacOS/iOS/Android/Chrome/Edge/Firefox Dropbox,OneDrive,Box,S3, etc etc at their leisure. but they cannot use a lot of what they find since it would raise questions.

This seems extremely uncontroversial to me.

Tucker Carlson released an interview yesterday with Telegram's founder, Pavel Durov. The part that I found most interesting was that Durov claims US intelligence tried to secretly work with Telegram engineers to understand, among other things, which open source libraries Telegram uses – I assume because they have back doors into a lot of the popular ones.

Thanks for sharing this. I watched the interview and it was one of the most interesting I've ever watched.

Speaking of backdoors in popular open source libraries, the recent incident with xz is exemplary I think.

>>I read that in France the number of vasectomies among 25-ish is exploding. This may not be a good indication, though, because vasectomy was not popular in France in the first place (and still requires z 4 month cool down time, by law)

We will see how they'll will feel about it after they'll grow older and they will need help from other people and those people won't exist.

When they will support installing progressive web apps (PWA) like Chrome does, I'll consider it.

Well I guess it's only about time before Google goes all in with DRM.

Because PWA is largely just hype with nothing to show for it. We've been hearing about how they are just as good or better than native apps for years now. And yes, the only thing we get are poorly packaged barely working mobile sites.

As a Linux desktop user, web apps are very much welcome. Apps like Photopea and Adobe's new Photoshop web app are things that make the Linux desktop much more viable as a platform.
