Telegram changes its tone on moderating private chats after CEO’s arrest

www.theverge.com

They have [clarified](https://x.com/telegram/status/1831976488200966502) the situation: "You could always report messages from any group to moderators, acts like forwarding. Private chats are still private too – although you could always report a new incoming chat to moderators by using Block > Report. Anyone can check our code and see there were no changes. The FAQ change made it clearer how to report things, including via DSA."

The new Pokémon series is actually great

Hi there, I was bored so decided to watch the new Pokémon horizons series featuring new protagonist Liko. I was surprised how good this was, the concept of adventuring without gyms, not too many Pokémon but getting good with few, the characters, the storyline, no annoying team rocket, an even cooler Pikachu (sorry to hurt OG Pikachu fans). Definitely will recommend a watch, I am currently at 40th episode, and it just keeps getting better, the characters are amazing, and the bad guys are really cool too, slightly more competitive than team rocket (expecting them to put even greater fight).

Sorting posts not working at all, some communities not updated.

So I had made a post regarding sorting posts not working, but I have noticed another issue where some communities just don't have some older posts. I have tried both on web and on android app, and it's the same, tweaked some settings too.

Why is there no excitement of elections?

The voter turnout dropped heavily in the first phase when compared to previous elections. What is exactly happening? Are people losing faith in democracy? Or they are getting lazy thinking "aayega to modi hi"? Whatever it is, it's dangerous for democracy and must be fixed.

What would happen to my gnome environment if I switch to hyprland?

So Ive been using nixos with gnome for almost a year now and things have been pretty smooth, it's just amazing, I never looked back since I started using it. So to make things more interesting and learn stuff I am trying to install hyprland, Ive no idea what window manager, compositor etc are, I have few questions Will installing hyprland delete gnome? Is hyprland not a desktop environment but something else? If yes, then how does it differ from one and what are its pros/cons? Would you suggest a clean installation to reduce bloating, or install on an existing system?

Ive watched snk and it is one of the best
