"Today, on 21 November 2024, Pre-Trial Chamber I of the International Criminal Court (‘Court’), in its composition for the Situation in the State of Palestine, unanimously issued two decisions rejecting challenges by the State of Israel (‘Israel’) brought under articles 18 and 19 of the Rome Statute (the ‘Statute’).

I am originally skeptical of @kagihq ‘s new Translate when I read the changelog since it’s using LLM, but damn I was wrong.

I used a piece of Chinese news to test the translation, and Kagi is the only one that translate 副總統勝選人 to “Vice President-elect”. Google Translate translated it to “Vice President Candidate” (副總統候選人) while DeepL only translate it to Vice President (副總統)

This article discusses how to protect privacy, amidst concerns of increased government surveillance.

The article is aimed at Asylum seekers & immigrants to the US, but it's solid advice for anyone, really.

Recommendations include using encrypted messaging apps like Signal, Apple iMessage, and WhatsApp, and setting messages to disappear.

It also recommends minimizing data sharing and deleting data when possible, particularly from Google.

#JohanaBhuiyan suggests to #autoDelete messages and I agree with her.

While this is not a "hard" security measure and might lead to a false sense of security, it is an easy and effective method of #dataHygiene.

I wonder, if any #Jabber clients have this feature?
