Fortunately, none of my machines or those of my employer needs to be patched, because we have banned systemd early on due to the massive KISS violation it represents.
You wouldn't be using the Linux kernel either, since that would be a "massive KISS violation", so what do you run?
unless it's actually using the phone number for some feature (exchanging SMS, maybe?)
It's using phone numbers for:
- Address book, to identify existing people on Telegram. It works as well as whatsapp, imessage etc. at this. - SMS verification to both create and access existing accounts. - Preventitive measure to fight against mass account creation by spammers etc.
It's probably not 38MB of actual RAM, most of it is probably shared memory
The Telegram desktop client is a c++ Qt application that doesn't have really any dependencies. It's actually quite cleanly built which is why I like it.
If your just throwing text w/ hyperlinks and images around, why would you think 38MB of RAM is reasonable?
Nah, I have voice chat, videos and embedded webpage content too. Seems reasonable to me? If I was just doing text on Telegram, it would be using less memory I imagine.
Hell, I used to engage in multiparty online chats with machines with 64K of RAM.
So did I, but I don't really want to go back to the BBS days.
What's wrong with wanting software that does one thing and does it well?
I never said anything was wrong with that?
Web browsers are for viewing hypertext documents with images.
A web browser is for presenting and interacting with content from the world wide web.
Web browsers were never meant to be the catch-all computing platform of the future
Indeed, they were meant to present content on the world wide web.
all the kludges to make them so have resulted in a patchwork bloated mess.
That's only because this content is being pushed into the world wide web, the webbrowser is still doing it's job.
No idea, I don't use Crouton. I'm more familiar with major Linux distributions that are used by both enterprise and users alike, like Redhat, CentOS, Fedora, SuSE, Debian, Ubuntu and Gentoo etc.
Previously, I started as a tester in a company known as being one of "the big four", left that for a start-up that didn't succeed and now I work for a company known for opensource governance.
the point is about your idea that the blockchain would know what was puchased with the BitCoin, which it clearly does not.
I asked for the details, including the blockchain. I didn't say the blockchain would know all alone about it? In fact my other comments even describe not depending on the blockchain alone for verification, some research is required.
The EU's standard decision-making procedure is known as 'Ordinary Legislative Procedure' (ex "codecision"). This means that the directly elected European Parliament has to approve EU legislation together with the Council (the governments of the 28 EU countries).
While you are correct as some of these powers were brought about with the Lisbon treaty, you then you forgot THE SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE PROCEDURES. Which can override decisions made regardless using the EC which has been used in great (sarcasm) decision making relating to the Eurozone, Greece and managing internal market competition law.
Saying it's fine because having the final say the vast majority of relatively unimportant legislation goes through the EP like whether we should have mobile phone tariffs across the EU isn't really giving the EP any power to really solve anything.
UK would have less control over EU.
Oh no, less control than before! Like how the UK MEPs were lobbying the Common Fisheries Policy group for 70 years continuously to fix problems that Greenland left over and during the course of 70 years lead to over-fishing and destruction of the environment that original British legislation had protected? With more and more countries coming into the pool further, the influence any single country has becomes further distilled.
Gee, the UK sure had a lot of influence for things that mattered!
Poor Greenland, they're really missing out on the trending opportunities the EU has to offer. If only they had a seat at the European table like they originally had 70 years ago!
There will be next to no change over its control over own laws.
Are you really going to ignore what happened with the European Arrest Warrant with a straight face and say there is "no change" over the UK's control on it's own laws? What happened to David Birkinshaw and Matthew Neale would never have happened if directives weren't binding that end up having to be implemented despite being violations of the UK's concepts of human rights and judicial system.
WTF? You ignore a person above saying he bought humble bundles with Bitcoin.
Because my thread is here to validate AC knows "MANY people who exchange bitcoin for 'things of value'", not one guy with his humble bundles. I'm not interested in new claims. It also in no way validates AC "knows MANY people" at all.
I asked for the list of 'things of value' along with the blockchain.info links for those transactions, with the names of those "many people". Provide them instead of making excuses.
Not interested in your stuff, I want to see AC's list of "many people" they know, along with the blockchain.info transaction lists where they "exchange bitcoin for 'things of value'".
I'm talking about freshly downloading and processing the blockchain for your wallet, not doing a transaction... You can't see the current funds in your wallet until that's processed and most applications are designed to not let you send money it doesn't think you have.

Neither of them are just chat programs and nor is Google Hangouts.

Stop being ignorant and spreading false information.
Why not use another IRC client then that is user friendly? I use the Twitch website, which seems to work well, with no usability issues for me.
Yes it does, stop lying.
Skype is using 40MB of system memory, Telegram is using 38MB on my Windows 10 system. What's the issue exactly?
Actually, when you start getting to large scales, it's cheaper.
What's their equivalent to DigitalOcean Cloud Firewalls, one click snapshot/VM etc. transfer between different accounts?

Through the package manager, like every other application on Linux.
Back when I was a tester, every sprint.

Just be sure to base them on reality, Khyber.
But I own my cloud? So, how could it someone else's?

Sorry, I don't believe you know "MANY people who exchange bitcoin for 'things of value'"
lol, "fringes of society", you have no idea what that really is.
I asked for the list of 'things of value' along with the blockchain.info links for those transactions, with the names of those "many people". Provide them instead of making excuses.

Can I get that list from AC now?
