    If those pagers had explosives, I wonder if the explosives were put there as a sabotage or for "destroy if found" functionality

    From the link's comments, someone thought: "The police (no matter the country involved here) went way over the top on this. An anonymous e-mail is nowhere near enough evidence to go arresting/detaining someone without a thorough investigation first. The only possible exceptions being domestic violence, child abuse or a homicide in progress."

    Would it help them to just pick a single distribution, open source the client, and have the community figure out how to build for other distributions?

It's a paid service, wtf is this BS Their final reply: > I wanted to reach out as a followup to your earlier request. I spoke with some members of our product team, and it would actually appear as though we don't currently support users opting out of that particular clause in our terms of service.

    I noticed quite a bit of people not knowing you can opt out of the dead voice chat recording (where it transmits your mic audio when you die for a couple of seconds). When I installed the game there was a prompt that asked for an opt-in, that was pretty short to read. Do you think people automatically click "I consent" or is the prompt not very clear?

    A lot of privacy guides suggest avoiding Telegram. I understand that in its default mode there's no E2EE (and no E2EE for groups at all). If people I know don't wanttko use Signal, isn't Telegram the lesser evil given it's nicer privacy policy (than other popular ones)? Say I use the FOSS version of it.
