Otter@lemmy.cato Privacy@lemmy.ml•Recent commits suggest Signal is preparing a paid subscription for backups.English111·2 days agoI commented this in the other thread, sharing it here as well
I’ve been waiting for this feature for a while actually 😅
When I last saw people talking about it, there were rumors that there would be a reasonable free backup (ex. up to 1 Gb) with relatively cheap paid options above that. I scrolled through the GitHub link and couldn’t confirm or deny if this is still/actually the case.
Backups are the #1 pain point for friends that tried to switch to Signal, especially for those on iOS. I have a local backup + sync setup for my own phone, but it’s a lot to expect for the average casual user to set up.
Whatsapp has backups to Google Drive, which is better than nothing but not ideal. It’s time Signal had a reliable backup method for casual users

That’s actually around -18°C (to -23°C)
So it is in line with everyone else
Otter@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Self-Driving Tesla Fails School Bus Test, Hitting Child-Size Dummies… Meanwhile, Robo-Taxis Hit the Road in 2 Weeks.English0·10 days agoI believe Waymo has a better set of sensors (Lidar + Radar+ Cameras instead of just cameras), more processing power, and more research / time / resources spent on it compared to Tesla.
So it’s not that we aren’t ready for self driving taxis, but rather about which cars are ready to provide that service
Otter@lemmy.cato Programmer Humor@programming.dev•You can't "skill issue" yourself out from every situationEnglish0·13 days agoThere’s a quote along the lines of “User error is not a thing, the system allowed for the error through bad design”
Which can be true depending on how far you stretch it. I’d say that if a chunk of the user base is having a problem, it’s a design problem
Here is a list

Karakeep (formerly Hoarder) is another popular one, although I haven’t tried it yet
