webapps on telegram desktop can put themselves in fullscreen right from opening without any user interaction. are you ready for the new era of jumpscare?

is it too complicated to give a minimum of choice to developers on the size of windows? most webapps, especially games, are made to respect the size of smartphones. since this update there is also a “fullscreen” button on all webapps opened from tdesktop and tgmacos. needless to say 99% are not made for this purpose.

Webapp developers will be happy to know that there is no minimum size limit on telegram macos /s
PS: this is still here

So to sum up…. Does the search only work for crypto scam bots? 🫶

10,000 members. What a number! Thank you 🦖

Has anyone noticed that Telegram’s new multitab interface is 100% the same as Apple’s Mail app?

We swear this is the last comment on this situation.
Friends, a question for you. Does sending FreeDurov hashtag in all the chats each person owns win a prize? After 1 million users do this Durov gets released? Let us know so we can proceed too

Most of the answers are like this. Neutral answers, even if the channel clearly contains traces of this content.

Several users are reporting to us that [email protected] or DSA is also responding in bursts to requests sent months ago.
In most cases, however, in order to be quick, they reply saying that ‘There is no problem in this channel/group’ without checking the report.

the end of ton

Now who frees Durov? One of the 100 biological children?

Imagine if we had a reproducible build of his DNA…
We could have created another identical Durov that would have given us as many surprises as the current Durov.

Oh well, it will have to be done before the next arrest ✌️
Have a nice day
