Thoose given are distrubution channels, but there are group chats like t.me/durovschat which is 12k members. I forgot the limits which i think is 200k for chatroom and infinite(?) for distrubution channels

Edit: yeah its 200k and infinite in “broadcast groups”






Again i’m having abiguity with works. I mean it shows as ampersand gt semicolon and not a single symbol for me. Are you reffering the same? Is it showing a single > symbol for you?


Lmao. But quotes won’t change anything i guess. But monospace should do or you maybe able to escape the characters with backslash \

Lemme try >

Edit : yeah this works for me.


Correctly or wrongly? yours renders ampersand gt semocolon as > only in code block and not in my sentence?





Nope. Its not the definition of open source. Its the defenition of “source availiable”

Real open source defenition : https://opensource.org/osd

Real Free Software defenition : https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html

Have a good read. If you want tl;dr, here is it

Open source is a developement methodology in which software is licensed with the permission for everyone to collaborate and develop it. Anyone has the freedom to modify and contribute to it.

Free software is a matter of freedom. It refers to the 4 essential freedoms a software should have, that is freedom to use, modify, share copies and share modified copies for the community however you want without restriction.

FOSS is software that fits both theese defenitions. While practically almost all free software are open source and almost all open source software are free software, but there are few exeptions


That doesn’t make if foss though. That doesn’t make it either Free or Open Source.



I think he is talking about this

The majority of those visits were to sites that allow users to download the audio from YouTube URLs.


  1. Signal does not have an official api to be implemented by third party clients. There are very few clients that can work with signal. It does not ‘support’ third party clients.

  2. Well, there are many!

Chats that can be simultaneously accessed from multiple devices? Video messages? Sticker packs that can be added with links and packs are availiable from one sticker sent? Animated stickers? Bots?(idk if bots are there on signal) Inline bots? Group management? Groups with 200,000members? Modular admin permissions for groups? Emojis with animations? Channels? Usernames? A non-electron app? Themes which can customise every single colour to any color which can be made and shared? Send message without notifying? Group voice channels which people can hope in and out? Screensharing in calls(unsure)? Code formatting? 2GB media upload? Smooth and quick animations everywhere?(this one might be relative) Fingerprint app unlock?(If it exist, its not working for me)

Theese are the ones i can remember now, there are more


  1. Signal does not allow alternative clients.

  2. Feature wise, telegram is just better, so getting someone switch is easier.

“Signal is way better” why do you think so?


I guess brave had some tweaks on browser engine apart from that, yeah.

One thing worth mentioning is that in android browser is usually contained in the app so when you install different copies of different versions maybe installed. But on iPhone, you are using the browser built in to the system as backend






One of the most popular instance. This is why federation is necessary and people should create accounts in different servers instead of pulling everyone to one server calling it tge “official” or “main” server


I checked this with youtube now and it pauses the video as soon as its in the background and I can play from notifications. Try updating too btw


Mine stop maybe because i have background battery restriction/autostart prevention. Not sure tho





No matter you purchase it or not, acquiring something for personal use is ethical imo



Some bridged chats in telegram might be better example. They use bots to bridge messages between discord, matrix, telegram etc.(eg. t.me/STKInternational (supertuxkart game community lol))





Interesting. But that would mean google play services is giving all apps to access accounts, which is probably bad. And that was the exact reason why microg building for non root existed.
