From time to time I write about online privacy and open source, but more often I translate articles about online privacy and open source, and here's where you can find it: • dzen.ru/semenovsemenov-sherin.vivaldi.netsemenov-sherin.blogspot.com

I'm looking for a Gboard keyboard alternative. Most often in the comments people recommended HeliBoard and FlorisBoard, but I would add to the shortlist Simple Keyboard and FUTO. What do you think? Pros, cons, pitfalls? Features of adding dictionaries and layouts?


It's never too much DOOM! Another mini-app featuring the legendary shooter has been added to Telegram. The developer didn't like the previous port from Axiom and made his own one. Also available in Retro Games Center. 🎮️• t.me/truedoombot 📝 • t.me/gamebase54/1783


Singal promised to introduce usernames in 2014 and introduced them only in 2024. When do you think WhatsApp will switch from phone numbers to usernames if they announced it in 2023 or even earlier?


Has anyone here ever seen anyone in #Bitchat or #Briar, except their own second smartphone they used for testing? I have not. Teleport doesn't work either: you need Tor to connect over the internet, but if Tor is blocked, you just can't connect without bridges (non-public).


Unfortunately, many people still don't understand that James Bond is not a character, but a call sign that the next 007 inherits from the previous one.

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.” Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says: “You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."



After +3°C, a sudden drop to -15°C feels like a wild frost. Above-zero temperatures will return tomorrow, but only for a day or two, and then the frost again. Again and again.

The only thing I love in training to the point of exhaustion: then I can flex online about what a machine I am. It's a combination of determination and shortsightedness. I work ourselves to the bone, but still see almost no results.

I love weekends and holidays: there's no one around, no one's controlling you, and you can work for your own pleasure... Until you die.

Mozilla management decided that machine translation is better than nothing and add AI translator to wiki. About 300 articles in Japanese were destroyed. The local leader left the community and prohibited the use all his translations for AI training. • support.mozilla.org/en-US/forums/c…

How much internet data does Google's Gboard use on your smartphone per day? Don't you think about 1GB per week is too much for a keyboard?

Sometimes you just have no choice: to save your life or freedom you must flee the country and illegally come to another one. Does that make you a criminal? Yep. Sorry, being illegal is illegal by definition. It may be inhumane or unfair, but that's how the laws works.


Are there any Opera fans here? Am I right that everything they're trying to promote in the browser just doesn't work in Russia? Turbo data savings removed, VPN blocked, AI unavailable with Russian IP addresses. What else? opera.com


2 years ago I decided to write my own bucket list. How much have I accomplished? Not so much: I made a few games in Scratch (a game is a game), and the story I wanted to write was completed by Charlie Brooker and Ella Road (and I really liked it). semenov-sherin.vivaldi.net/my-bucket-list…

My bucket list: 13 things I plan to do before I die

Don’t panic! I’m fine, but these aren’t the most peaceful times, so I’m going to make a list of things I’ve always wanted to do.

Google is going to take away Android's freedom, and if they really do that, I don't see any point in using Android instead of HarmonyOS or iOS.

Sign up by a phone number is awful registration method. Right now russian users can not sign up on Telegram and WhatsApp. What if SMS and call blacklist may be changed to a whitelist? @Telegram, @WhatsApp and @SignalApp should add email registration and traditional passwords.


Russian operators are prohibited from receiving calls and SMS containing authorization codes on WhatsApp and Telegram. Now you can't sign up, and signing in is more difficult. Signing up by phone number was a terrible idea! • t.me/mknewsru/24744 kod.ru/telegram-i-wha…


Yesterday I wrote to support not to report some problem or bug I had found, but to actually ask for advice. And support actually gave me some basic, but logical advice: uninstall it and reinstall again. I didn't want to do this, but uninstalling and reinstalling really helped.
