Alguém conhece outros bots de dicionários de língua portuguesa a funcionar no @telegram para além deste?

Em tempos usei um bot do #dicionário Priberam mas penso que há muito deixou de funcionar.

❤️ Thanks everyone for your support and love!

Last month I got interviewed by police for 4 days after arriving in Paris. I was told I may be personally responsible for other people’s illegal use of Telegram, because the French authorities didn’t receive responses from Telegram.

Telegram announced on Wednesday that it's adding new ways for creators to make money on its platform.

Adding 15 apps to @DumbPhoneApp in 1.0.6 + fixed launching @telegram, @protonmail, @ApplePodcasts, and a crappy bug that showed the upgrade screen to people who had already upgraded.

smh 🤦🏻‍♂️

Here's what he said in a post on his telegram channel:

🤫 A story shared by Jack Dorsey, the founder of Twitter, uncovered that the current leaders of Signal, an allegedly “secure” messaging app, are activists used by the US state department for regime change abroad 🥷

🥸 The US government spent $3M to build Signal’s encryption, and today the exact same encryption is implemented in WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Google Messages and even Skype. It looks almost as if big tech in the US is not allowed to build its own encryption protocols that would be independent of government interference 🐕‍🦺

🕵️‍♂️ An alarming number of important people I’ve spoken to remarked that their “private” Signal messages had been exploited against them in US courts or media. But whenever somebody raises doubt about their encryption, Signal’s typical response is “we are open source so anyone can verify that everything is all right”. That, however, is a trick 🤡

🕵️‍♂️ Unlike Telegram, Signal doesn’t allow researchers to make sure that their GitHub code is the same code that is used in the Signal app run on users’ iPhones. Signal refused to add reproducible builds for iOS, closing a GitHub request from the community. And WhatsApp doesn’t even publish the code of its apps, so all their talk about “privacy” is an even more obvious circus trick 💤

🛡 Telegram is the only massively popular messaging service that allows everyone to make sure that all of its apps indeed use the same open source code that is published on Github. For the past ten years, Telegram Secret Chats have remained the only popular method of communication that is verifiably private 💪

I completely broke my phone screen and attempted to log into my Telegram account from my secondary phone. I downloaded the APK from telegram.org, entered my phone number, but the app sent the code to another device with no option to receive it via SMS. Then, I tried to create a new account using a new physical SIM card, but Telegram still showed 'code sent to other device' as if the account was already registered on that SIM card. When I tried to add the phone number to my Telegram account, it displayed 'this number is not in Telegram.' It seems like Telegram blocks any attempts to send verification codes via SMS or call on Android. Want to know how I finally created a new account? I had to ask my friend to log in from his iPad. Unfortunately, that account got banned and deleted within 5 days, even though I wasn't doing anything wrong or suspicious.

Got an offer for 39% discount for Premium in the app. Is this only for the first year or is this also for the following years? Can't find anything about that. I have 2 accounts in the app, is Premium for both accounts or only the account where I do the payment?

Title. Everyone who called them out for this (including myself) were banned or muted a week. Likely they're going to be selling ad space which is why they're being aggressive about this. You can't even archive it which means this was on purpose. Forcing something down user's throat and saying "you'll eventually be allowed to hide it" is what I expect from Meta, EA or Microsoft.

What 3rd party app do you use? Plus Messenger is enshitified and I'm looking to get rid of it ASAP

interesting choice, or business as usual?

Instant View is now available for Telegram Desktop on Windows and MacOS.

I'm so excited for this feature because I use Unigram as my main client for IV. It's one of the most requested feature on bugs.telegram.org. I hope they add support for Linux.
