Yep. Picking the bear.

It think there are a lot of factors at play. Musk wants Twitter* to be an everything app and has mentioned plans to add e2e encryption to the dms. Telegram already had an iffy relationship to people who look for encrypted platforms so he probably wants to set up that idea to get people onto Twitter instead, especially as the right's relationship to the platform is absolutely getting worse.

A big chunk of far right Telegram has moved off the platform recently after quite a few of the groups that got their start from anti-lockdown demos had members get arrested for terror charges. They seem to blame the fact that Telegram is backdoored but they constantly fed-post in open unencrypted channels anyone can read anyway. The police probably do monitor those channels but if I were to guess how they got caught, my bet is honestly that they just put in reports to the cops about each other because being fascists usually goes hand in hand with being horrible people.

I'm not sure how much he actually reads on far right Telegram but there is evidence of him at least following some channels where this sentiment can be seen. If I were to guess he saw oppotunity in bringing that audience back to Twitter.

* I refuse to call it X

EDIT: fix early accidental submission

Best option I have found is cloudstream though you might have to search a bit for the repos.

Like I found Reddit's far right problem annoying, I find the tankies and the libs on Lemmy to be frustrating, especially on meme pages for whatever reason. This instance does a good job at keeping the transphobes off but my personal preference would be to stop seeing crap posts defending the state, whatever it calls itself.

There is a fan remake in source if that'll do for you.

Install gtk3-classic and force Xwayland by setting WAYLAND_DISPLAY= if you want server side decorations. If you want theming, install libadwaita-without-adwaita-git

Whilst you shouldn't need a hack like this, it seems to be the best way to resolve blinding white applications in the middle of the night.

While they are released it assists the police with intelligence gathering. In the UK police are known for giving bail conditions like "you can't meet within more than 4 people"

How are people installing it on Linux these days? Arch specifically.

I'd love a UK based version for the major chains.

I refuse to shop at Sainsbury's since they started having gates where yoy physically have to scan your receipt to leave. They have also started doing nectar card prices where they charge more if you don't want them to track you. Tesco does the same. I'm not sure about Morrisons and Asda. Waitrose just costs more no matter what.

All I want is the ability to disable client side decorations without having to force xwayland with gtk3-classic

Fixed boolean logic and bump version.
