You may learn how to make your own library in school, but very few actually to go beyond the README to see how it works and most teachers don't care if they do or not. Programming is a lot like design; the ends do justify the means and no employer cares how you get there as long as he/she gets the most bang for their buck, degree or not. If I "draw" better than you, whether or not I'm using the tools correctly, the poor guy in college dept doesn't have a chance. Learning to program is too easy these days to be bothered with the fundamentals, which is why, unfortunately, most go for cloud computing because if something doesn't work, its not their fault since they are only using an API like everyone else. So, we either let them collaborate to encourage future FOSS desktop developers or we risk having a bunch of "interface designer" API slaves because either way, the current generation is going to half-ass things. I'd rather have 100 idiots on a unique project than another damn webkit/electron app on my phone.
My MacBook isn't even a pro version. The latest OS X version on it was Snow Leopard because that is as high as it could go. So, a couple of years ago, I wiped it out and it is completely Linux. No point in keeping an OS that doesn't get updates if you're going to need internet. I can probably get another year or two out of it, but only because most Linux distros have decided that this November is when they are dropping 32-bit. For games, I have a PlayStation. I haven't owned a system that wasn't Linux-based since 2008 and have been much better off for it. There is no situation in which I'd ever need that much RAM on a Linux machine or have ever needed Window$. If I check htop for RAM usage right after logging in, I'm only using 300 MB and now I'm working on something that is 64-bit for a newer computer that uses half that (XFCE), where as most Window$ 10 and MacOS Sierra systems use 3-4 GB. If you ever thought about making your own Linux distro, you should look into SuseStudio. I'll never go back to Debian or Ubuntu.
I'm running a distro I made from OpenSUSE 13.2 on a 32-bit 9 year old MacBook. I even have a kernel 4.11 installed and working just fine and if WINE doesn't run it, then your better off buying a gaming console and save yourself some headache and privacy concerns.
Eh... It's more likely that they either don't support XP or don't want to support XP anymore so they blame older systems because it's believable. Without a system that is susceptible to viruses, they are out of a job.
Micro$oft and Google aren't going to ever have anything like this out of the box for their desktop environments, which means this only benefits the other end of the cloud computing nazis. They'd much rather you buy a cloud computing dependent tablet and call it a laptop. Affordable RAM has only doubled in the last ten years. Anyone else find that weird? Yay! Multiple cores! Ok, but what's the point if you either can't upgrade them or each core is 2GB or lower of RAM, making full advantage expensive anyway? This tech is for future servers because Micro$oft is murdering the desktop. Intel hardly does anything anymore without checking with them first. Meanwhile Apple, one of the very few proprietary companies with a desktop I can comfortably fall asleep connected to the Internet with, is still charging an arm and a leg for i5 computers. Good for for you Intel, but will we actually see this as a desktop standard between now and ten years? I'm a Linux user; it makes more sense to me to make what you have already more affordable and a standard rather than create another want for enthusiasts to make it possible for the rest of us. Even to this day, I've barely grazed 3 GB of RAM, and that was me trying to see what would happen if I opened Firefox, LivreOffice, Kodi, GIMP, and PCSXR (Bushido Blade;) ) at the same time. Not a whole lot; it all worked just fine. That was my nine year old, 32-bit MacBook running OpenSUSE 13.2 with 4.10 kernel, which just proves to me that people get geeky but don't have the brains to back most of their reasons why anymore. The smart have become suckers like everyone else.
Whether it's fire or code, our survival has always depended upon sharing, or "cheating" if you're part of the proprietary problem. We copy code without completely understanding the "how" all the time, it's called a "library" and as technology advances, what is an advance script today may just be the next "library" tomorrow.
Another thing I like about Tox is that no one has bothered to create spam or bots for it yet, though they still have a method of preventing being spammed with friend requests, ergo you can almost guarantee that if you leave your Tox "number" as a method of contact rather than an email or phone number, the caller is going to be human. I hate how Signal and most other encrypted messenger use phone numbers to "find contacts." Not sure if that's what they are actually do as a "free app."
Update on chat history: There is an option for the client to store chat history in qTox in the Privacy tab, so maybe.
A profile (literally an encrypted file with settings) is stored locally on your computer and the tox servers that act as an operator keep just enough info to connect calls (kind of like DNSCrypt) using the information inside of the profile. However, that does mean that you have to trust the Tox server, but it's no different than having to trust servers with your public PGP keys for encrypted email. Once a successful "handoff" is made, it's encrypted P2P the entire time. That's how I understand it anyway.
That profile works with every Tox client because those clients use open source to build around the same tox core. Example, a qTox profile you use on your laptop can be emailed to your phone and opened with Antidote and have the same setup, including contacts. As far as actual histories go, I'm not sure if the profile stores those too because I never keep them. You could probably use a trusted cloud storage service to keep the profile in sync with other devices instead of using Micro$oft to do it for you like it does for Skype users. And because everything is open source, I'm not as worried about backdoors, and I know for a fact that people actually look at the code for the various clients because I've helped out a little bit with the Mac version of qTox and Antidote as a tester.
If you do a quick Google search of "Skype hack," it's terrifying how many results you get. Screw that. As far as how decentralized Tox really is, there are some good arguments made here you may want to look at: https://github.com/irungentoo/..., but that argument is almost two years old and it's gotten better since then. I'm not saying Tox is perfect, but it's definitely still one of the better choices out there that not too many people know about, so it may actually have that going for it too. My top 3 in order: 1) Tox because it is cross-platform and haven't had any issues with it, 2) Signal because it's also open source and made by Whisper Systems, and then 3) Wickr because it has good reviews, a bug bounty, and interesting legal process guidelines if it ever came to it. Never use the version of a client (such as Signal or Telegram) that utilizes a web browser such as a "Chrome app" because well it's Google for one, but also because it's only as secure as your browser is and the more add-ons you have, the more iffy things get.
Not true: https://tox.chat/clients.html. All you got to do is email the tox profile to yourself for your phone. That's why I said it was like OpenVPN. I've used Antidote on iPhone with people using qTox on their laptop and it works very well.
Bernie Madoff could of used better privacy laws. Problem is, the people with the most money are too damn old to learn anything about computers; that's what they have secretaries for. If I had my way, you must pass a short exam before voting on a Bill just to be sure you read it or at least bothered to look at a cheat sheet. If there's no printout of proof, you don't get to go in and you can't vote on behalf of others. If you fail the exam, you get to take it again because at least hopefully you'd of learned something by the time you do pass. You'd have up to a week before the vote that way you can spend the rest of the time discussing it with other members.
And when they do care about their privacy, they think Snap Chat and WhatsApp will do the trick. WhatsApp is owned by Facebook. The argument is that it uses open source code from the same people that make Signal. Ok, then why not just use Signal? Why are some countries allowing WhatsApp and not Telegram or vice versa? I'd just use a Tox client; it's like OpenVPN, but for messaging and most Tox clients do everything Skype does. Even when I'm watching a live stream (usually via streamlink and mpv to save RAM), I use IRC with SSL to join the chat.
I think that just because we see a generation of young people born with a computer in their laps, we assume that they are also responsible enough with it to stay informed and more proactive with its use; that's a big no. You've got a bunch of Hipsters too busy falsely fulfilling the fantasy of being a lumberjack with a man-bun and thousands of dollars of "comfortable" technology to entice women that want to be a Penny/Amy mash-up from The Big Bang Theory. The reality is, rich parents and barely qualified to work at Spencer Gifts because they are shocked that their major in civil rights studies with a minor in art didn't work out, on top of which you have 35 year-olds going through a midlife crises, doing the same crap. As long as they got weed and an over-the-top BS Facebook/Tumblr profile to attract women when they need them, they're okay.
I haven't used Window$ since 2008 unless forced to in an office/mdeia center environment. When I see things like this on a Micro$oft system in an environment with a lot of people, it doesn't shock me at all. However, every now and then when I see a friend showinf off their new laptop, I cringe and complain about what they are using, yet they expect it from a Linux user like me. In other words, freemium/adware/30-day trial is socially excepted, even though they are paying $900 for a laptop on top of being locked into cloud computing software and everything else. That's probably why Linux users never complained all that much since we can just take the source code and fork it without ads. A few people did that for the Window$ version, but it never took off and with the Window$ Store becoming popular, it never will.
So...anything that uses a keyboard? It's ok Facefarm, we will all soon be using computers that have to be connected to a Micro$oft or Google owned cloud to work and piracy or any freedom for that matter will be dead. Maybe you'll have your own mobile device one day, one that does even more than just backup all my photos, peak at my texts both on Messenger and regular text messaging, or listen to my microphone for sonic TV ad signals. I wonder what that also sounds like? Maybe block yourselves? This wouldn't happen to have anything to do with you guys having your own streaming service? Hmmmm...(tilts head sideways). All hail $uckerman for the suckered man.
Where are you getting your FileZilla from to have adware? Neither my Mac or Linux system's versions show ads, and I'm getting it from here: https://filezilla-project.org/. Maybe it's just a Window$ thing?
FileZilla can do this. You right-click on the Queued Files section and select Export. It will save an XML file with all the queued items. Then, all you have to do is go to File-->Import and then right-click on the Queued Files section again and select Process Queue.

You are a constant headache to deal with and we'll gladly take the minuscule loss in profit compared to the hell you'd catch for doing so. It's costing us to deal with you anyway. Besides, thank god for Tor and VPN." ---- Your reality face-smacker, Social Network.
They don't have to hack your data. They don't even need a warrant. All they have to do is buy it off of your ISP like any other company. Trust me, you let loose enough unencrypted metadata for them to connect the dots if they wanted to.
Because no republican has ever tried to use the latest technology available to spy on anyone ever. The red scares and black listing never happened. And of course, the Muslim witch hunts used today are only used to spy on potential terrorists and no one else, and we are all safer for it. Boy how nice it is to wake up and not think of which ever terror group both government and media has decided is in season this year thanks to the efforts of the 12 or so intelligence agencies in the U.S.. Yeah, we definitely need more bureaucracy. By any chance, you wouldn't happen to work for her majesty? I like my wolves as wolves and not dressed as sheep holding face recognition CCTV cameras and telling me it's for my "safety." Locked and loaded and college educated; I'll be fine. You should learn to take charge of your own life and not leave it in the hands of others. That includes access and possession of knowledge and your fears. Be more proactive in your computing and way of thinking. Facebook, Twitter, and Google are horrible sources. There are these tax funded, objective, nonfiction sources of information written by pre-milllenial people with doctorates in a place called a public library you should put the phone down and visit once in a while.
I'm asleep through the whole thing and there are doctors operating and watching very carefully and robotic tools are more accurate. If I have a problem with a bank, I get to cuss out a machine for 20 minutes before a human picks up and gets to deal with an already extremely disgruntled customer. On top of which, we have the nightmare of a cashless economy heading our way in most of the world in the next few years; that means your complaints go to human in India if you're lucky, except they are getting rid of most of there cash too just like in South Korea and Japan. Will AI be smart enough to pull a Burnie Madoff?
We Linux users LOVE it (sarcasm) when chip companies like Intel-everyone become best buds with Micro$hit. Thank god for Windblow$ 10 for allowing "GNU/NT" (Linux emulator) on its system, because you know, it's the same thing as actual Linux -_-. If we can crack Chrimebooks (Get it? No desktop, so no privacy), I'm sure we can crack this too.
