Fair, and I guess accepting typed papers is more common in universities. But schools still don't. Mostly because tradition is hard to break, in large part because a lot of people (especially elderly) would find it uncomfortable to read from a screen as opposed to paper. I can relate because I am this way myself))

Respectfully disagree. I myself went for embarrassingly long without knowing English cursive (only knew it for my native language), so I know the difference, and it DOES matter. As soon as most of my reading materials (and thus notes) became English, I had no choice other than to learn cursive, because otherwise writing is painfully slow.
There are keyboards, but usually computers/tablets/phones are banned in class. Our high school did not ban laptops on lessons (it was a very liberal school), but few people used them anyway. Then there are tests, solutions in which can also get too long to quickly write without cursive. Even here, teachers did not accept assigmnents and tests in a typed form, except during remote learning. Not to mention the formulas, which would be troublesome to type out, doubt kids would be fluent in LaTeX.
I am skeptical that this is possible, because you just wouldn't be able to keep up with the necessary speed using non-cursive letters. It is SLOW.
I don't think that whether it has a privacy impact even matters. What matters is how it demonstrates Mozilla's attitude towards user consent.
Maybe it is just me being the wrong generation, but I don't understand this meme. So Llama I guess is in relation to the company that owns the software - is that a consequence of animosity towards the parent company?
I wonder if this would be on all international devices and not just on the Chinese local ones.
Although indeed not getting one again, as apparently unlocking the bootloader is either hard or impossible.
From what I've seen, there are some blobs. At least Telegram-FOSS says:
Several proprietary parts were removed from the original Telegram client, including Google Play Services for the location services, HockeySDK for self-updates and push notifications through Google Cloud Messaging. Location sharing functionality is restored using OpenStreetMap.
Same page is where I learned you cannot register from third-party clients btw. Not nearly as big of a blow as removal of desktop registration, but still gross that you'd have to touch a partially-proprietary official app first.
Desktop client does not even have e2e, lol. (I don't know if there are third-party options that do).
Yeah, if I am not mistaken, this has happened in Iran - the registration confirmation messages just wouldn't arrive.
TG selling out? Was it not always like this, with all its censorship and attempts to combat anonymity? Weird to put it next to Tails, Tor or Localmonero.
