Sure, but they were invited. Once the article was published, removing it was the wrong move IMO.

What is the alternative? Say a matter once proclaimed settled by someone can never be addressed again by anyone?

Well, I did not mean in a backdoor way. If google has a backdoor for the three letters agencies, I don’t expect they would reveal it even if the whole country of Argentine flipped itself over.

I meant in a public way. The play store can install apps remotely through a google account but I have no idea how far this goes.

Is google even able to do it? They are unable to push os updates directly in most cases, sinco those go through phone vendors. Idk if they already have the ability to remotely uninstall apps. Maybe through the appstore?

I use ESET and rate of false positives is very low for me (as long as you disable detect “potentially unwanted applications”, it asks during installation).

If you are in the EU, send them a gdpr deletion request. Otherwise I guess just accept

Matrix is quite similar to (older) Discord and therefore a good (easy to switch to) alternative.

By the way, the evolutionary reason is far more interesting. We need to wear clothes in cold weather because we don’t have fur. Why did we evolve to not have fur? Because not having fur allows humans to sweat. Sweating is the most effective way to get rid of excess body heat, far better then panting that many mammals use. This allows humans to run without stopping for much longer than animals, allowing humans to hunt animals by chasing them until they tire out and stop.

Of course, other animals could not evolve sweating because they are unable to use clothes and fire to keep themselves warm without fur.

I think Tutanota (or just Tuta now?) does this, since search works correctly.

I think not using PGP helps Tuta a lot with this, since PGP is really outdated and does not play well with modern features.

Quite possibly not. Remember that the admins running lemmy instances have very limited revenue so paying for servers is an issue. Some instances even encourage posting links instead of images to save on cost.

Videos are in a league of their own when it comes to size and therefore the server power needed. Lemmy probably can’t afford it. Its the price we pay for freedom and no ads. You have to link videos.

I just wanted to say, those are rookie numbers.
