My point is changing providers is a fruitless endeavour. Your phone number is probably sourced and sold several times/day. Switch carriers and they’ll do the same thing. Why? Because no one will stop them, and most people don’t know or even care, so why wouldn’t they? And your phone number is already out there anyway, there’s no taking it back.
If you don’t know what samurai wallet is then that title would be less informative.
No.
Replacing samurai with crypto can only mislead the reader into thinking that the issue was the crypto and not the privacy part.
No.
It also doesn’t tell you anything about why he’s being imprisoned
Neither does the current title. But at least then we know it’s something to do with a crypto wallet instead of a “privacy tool”.
it’s implied why (because he built a privacy tool)
A “privacy tool” could be an infinite number of things. A “crypto wallet” is super specific.
At this point I think it’s pretty clear you’re just being disingenuous so I’ll bid you good day.

What details are being withheld? His name, the tool’s name, the crime, the sentence? What title would be more informative?
…yeah? That’s absolutely much more informative
Samurai wallet dev sentenced to 5 years
Is that better? Only if you already know what samurai wallet is.
Correct again. I mean it’s infinitely better than the current one where it doesn’t matter if you do know what Samourai is. Also replace Samourai with “crypto” and baby you got a stew goin’.
You can’t condense an hour long video into a single sentence beyond the basic premise
You don’t have to. You just try to make it as information dense as possible. That’s the entire point of a title. It’s not supposed to be just a bunch of random filler words. You’ve just provided several great examples yourself.
Sure, and we’ve always compromised on the 2 as a society. But we continually trend more and more towards prevention rather than privacy and sovereignty.
They’re deliberately withholding basic details of the story so that you have to click the video to get them. That’s clickbait.
Ok but that is a separate discussion.
Get a mini PC with Intel N200. $200 more or less. Install your preferred Linux with KDE Plasma Bigscreen. Use Waydroid and Aurora Store to install streaming apps. That’s the best I got.
I mean if you consider the value of not being made by Meta and not having fucking ads plastered all over it, the value looks a lot closer.
That time the election actually was rigged (and also in 2000)
Whoa, okay that is pretty cool.
Honestly everywhere sounds like an awful place at this point. Freedom is a thing of the past. A thing from a time whence literally everything we did wasn’t tracked, and in order to exist in society, you’re expected to submit to the tracking.
I’m not disagreeing with you but what would happen back then is that they simply wouldn’t stop the crime.
At some point we need to decide if giving up all semblance of personal privacy is worth stopping some of that. I vote no enthusiastically. We just have to accept that some of that crime won’t be stopped and law enforcement will have to work harder.
Why wouldn’t you?
This integration will likely require some level of effort to get working, and what benefit do you get from that that you can’t get from opening the application in a window?
Perhaps HA can use that big GPU of yours for local LLM type stuff?
…huh? HA is typically run on a server. If you want to use your GPU to perpetuate AI disinformation, you can plug it into the server. But KDE is a workstation product…
Yes I did read that. What kind of integration? And why would you want such a thing?
I’m confused. What does KDE have to do with HA?
I wasn’t suggesting they leaked only partial phone numbers?
Doesn’t matter what phone company you have, Whatsapp already has your phone number and they allow anyone to scrape it.
But really there’s so many different ways they can get your #. No way to stop that realistically. I change my phone # every year or so.
Anyone can access 3.5B phone numbers on WhatsApp. Meta says this is not a problem and phone numbers are “basic publicly available information”.

LOL at the CEO who agreed to be interviewed and then said he wasn’t surprised that they were able to prompt engineer it in a matter of hours, but we promise it’s gonna be so much better later!
