The backend isn’t open source. Iirc, its just the clients.

They likely have too much experience.

Thats a shame, it was one of the few disk imagers that “just worked”

Its definetely more polished for users, but it leaks metadata. XMPP is nicer to work with, as a developer.

Not signal specifiaclly, but they said they would shutter operations in the uk if the online “safety” bill passed. @neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk has posted a lot about it.

I have a Kobo sage and its pretty good. Just avoid the color ones.

The vpn, sure, but if you host it on a vps (and don’t make it public) then all of the requests are coming from the vps’s ip. This is private, but not anonymous.

whoogle is also similar

Does that not defeat the point, because then they can see that the searches are coming from your location/internet?

Why can’t we have nice things?

I read somewhere that on some xiaomi phones in china you need to request it, https://github.com/melontini/bootloader-unlock-wall-of-shame/blob/main/brands/xiaomi/README.md

In the EU almost every phone has an unlockable bootloader, there just isn’t any roms or custom recoveries for a lot of them.

Stop fear mongering, of course there is alternatives

Not if you use pgp

Its more similar to discord.

Commented in a reddit fashion, and read the actual thing after commenting. Its justified in this case.

rewrites never end well. Remeber netscape?

The real matrix’s key exchange is pretty headacheless, is there any downsides to it?

Totalsex

heh
