“Tautological denial of magic” seems like a total misunderstanding of the scientific method. If you know there’s something “magical” you still can study it’s effects on the real world.

Like someone here already commented, this is what we do in case of medical studies, “how good does this thing work compared to something that gives the illusion of working”, the same can be done for whatever you define as your “magic”.

Don’t overuse AI, there is plenty of resources on the web and at least you can practice reading docs. Use Phind. https://www.phind.com/privacy

Yeah but this way you can only communicate with other Tor users. Also the mail server can prolly easily leak your actual IP if you don’t harden it well.

That’s not true and misleading. Docker and flatpak base images mostly contain shared libraries and even these get automatically deduplicated. Your flatpak calculator doesn’t ship systemd or any other init system nor does it ship system drivers lol

And yeah if you are working in a restrained env and care about those few mbs taken by shared libraries then containarization is not for you.

Containerization is not perfect and it will never be, but that was never the goal. Making apps and services independent of the base system and easily restrictable like mounting volumes, restricting network, etc… was.

Yeah, I hope Element manages to become sustainable. It feels like they are running out of funding from what they did in the last month.

It is end to bridge encrypted. I trust them too but I still prefer to self-host this stuff.

I think it was more about vendor lock-in. The phone manufacturers want to be the ones you are locked to, not to Iridium.

I have to test this on some article recommending alternative medicine

you can always just overlay that ;)
