I fully understand the argument and kinda agree. That said, here’s why i still use the Telegram self-chat just like OP, you can suggest a note-taking app replacement if you think:

• Paste a link, instant preview of it without user intervention, can play it right on the app if it’s audio/video if i want or get a preview of it if it’s just a page without opening a full browser (this puts it automatically above a “synced notepad” which is what i understand note taking apps tend to be)
• Synced across devices
• Both desktop and mobile
• Private, no one else sees it
• Easy and convenient, i usually have Telegram running already, just switch to it on browser or desktop and copy or paste the thing

Gimme a note taking app that has all these, that is not a big program needing lots of resources to run all the time, and that i can self-host for the server part (or E2EE P2P like Syncthing) and we’re cooking!

Since i use the self-chat on Telegram a lot i’ve wished for exactly the same thing in the past as i’m planning on leaving the service, so far haven’t found a right fit yet

Have you seen an XMPP setup these days that doesn’t have installed all the extra stuff to allow encryption, voice and a lot of other bells and whistles?

What’s the “best practices” for DNS these days besides running your own local service?

Need to retry this at some point, last time i tried it, the Kindle app worked in Wine but had no connection, i suspect this was a Wine configuration issue

Before anything, will this get a bunch of not technically knowledgeable people flagged by the *AA corps?

It’s the same link as the NES one

It’s a commons, it’s the same principle

The so-called “tragedy of the commons” is an invention out of nowhere by a white supremacist

Promoting nazism IS inherently putting people in danger, that IS their thing

45 minutes long video, is there a text/blogpost version of this?

The AB people seem to be gearing to either move to another domain or to fully nuke the site if they suspect they’re being directly targeted (at this point it feels like too much paranoia but it’s understandable in their position), the old domain is likely to be abandoned no matter what though.

You know the rules and so do I

Quick guide that’s been shared around online lately for those unsure what this is:

Again? Hadn’t this happened before?

This right there is the Firefox killer feature that Chrome can’t dream of right now, and that freaking no one knows it exists!

Namely, Youtube ads

Why the hell i hadn’t heard of it before? Will check it out later

Edit: The video above after the addon, i’m fully in!

It’s understandable why they did this, but now on all those countries game piracy will start anew, people won’t buy legally if they can’t afford it
