They got nothing on swans. I once knew a painter who had guard swans. Scary as all get out.

SPACE OIL!

Every now and again the internet shows me how talented people can be. Thanks, stranger, for sharing your talent today.

Oh. Right.

No, what you wrote sucks any way you slice it. You try again.

If it happened, but with only two companies it’s so easy for shenanigans to happen. Companies partner up to screw consumers all the time. Harder to pull it off efficiently with more companies.

Unless is a five way split, it won’t really change much.

Borg is amazing but I don’t think it’s a good fit for your case.

Nothing. Like, absolutely nothing. It didn’t keep up with the times. I spent am untold amount of time on IRC, but the fact that you have to be online to have a chance to read messages just doesn’t jive with most people’s schedules anymore.

What are you sniffing? There’s no more pro censorship platform then Reddit. Lemmy at least keeps a mod log.

So like XMPP, SIP, Mumble, or Matrix without the chat part.

Ventrilo looks someone’s bad first open source project, but it’s proprietary. The audio quality must be orgasmic for people to use it.

If i saw any animal leaping forward 12 meters, I’d shit my pants.

That would regio explain with there are so few matrix servers out there compared to Lemmy or Mastodon.

They are one and the same.

I guess I just assumed they’d remove the telemetry, but yeah, shouldn’t assume.

I’m not following your logic here. Why would you want to get rid of ReVanced? It’s not a Google product any more than other alternative frontends, right?

Depends on your threat model. If you use secure DNS and https for the RSS feed, then these people would know your IP and the IP you’re connecting to:

• the DNS provider
• the RSS server
• your ISP/ VPN server

Your ISP or VPN will know you’ve made a TCP connection to that server at a specified port, but that’s it. It’s trivial for them to reverse lookup the IP back into a name.

Only the RSS server will know the specific URL you’re visiting though.

I think you dropped a B there.

They went so far as to say that they regret it but the decision didn’t impose any change of behavior. That’s as much of a shrug as you can officially get.
