In 57 of 100 of the largest cities in America, the gross salary needed to comfortably (using 30% of salary) afford a studio apartment is higher than the national median wage.

And in many cities the gap to the local median wage is huge too. $140k to afford a studio in NYC!

It also appears that the first post has to tag the community, so tagging on a reply does not work. Good enough though.

I wonder if it will be analogous to the situation in China. Is an iMessage conversation safe if one party is based in China and their data is stored in data centers there?

This. I bet the experience is better if you use it on an enterprise distro they have precompiled drivers for.

With the boom in AI their focus is increasingly on the data center market, so it's a small miracle (thanks Red Hat and others prodding them) they even have an open driver right now for newer cards (tellingly it's in a better state for computational use than for rendering pixels on the screen)

FluffyChat is a decent alternative client (with E2EE support). If you don't need e2ee there's actually a healthy number of clients, and some of them do seem to have it on their roadmap

Point taken on server implementations though

For browser I'd just use Firefox with the Facebook Container extension

I heartily recommend Frost too. one downside: if you want to chat with people in EU and UK, FB limits some features (not sure what) for privacy compliance and such chats don't show up in Frost

Settings are available outside meetings -- if you create and account and log in. One of those "makes sense but why can't you save the settings locally?".

I use tiling extensions for my desktop (either PaperWM or Material Shell, for GNOME) so thankfully the "window not maximized" is not an issue, but thanks, I did not realize Screen Sharing auto-fullscreen can be disabled!

If you're on Fedora (maybe other distributions too) you can still start a desktop session on X, so if something doesn't work the fix is just a logout away.

IIRC Zoom screen sharing doesn't work on Wayland, but open source apps mostly work.

it's been reported several times, eg

I'm still supporting Mozilla myself, for now, for lack of a batter alternative, but am increasingly on the 'no client-side JS' / 'let's try Gemini' side; the web is getting too complex for alternative browser engines

 

I am looking for a photo gallery (preferably open source) with ephemerla sharing - eg I can create links to a photo album that can only be used once, with the (not foolproof, but enough for laypeople) JS necessary to prevent the photos from being easily saved to disk.

Does one exist already? I can get close to this by using Signal's ephemeral messages but would prefer a solution that doesn't require people to install apps.

(Threat model: family members and friends who might not be trusted to be privacy respecting and might reshare photos on social media)

Thanks!

Ah. Well, preview and beta are both oh Play Store. Preview is no longer updated now that the new core is deemed stable enough for beta (though some people were upset when initially it didn't have any add ons)

Haven't checked if they're on the ffox fdroid repo though
