Finally, someone who knows the difference between software and service.


Your country doesn’t block Signal sign up SMS to it’s numbers.


I do want to help spread our gospel, but I think that most people in those platforms are just to far gone to even care.

Backdoor them with the ideas.



Worse, both of you should know better! See its software license cited above.

Spreading funding FUD tells us nothing about whether its license or source code is malicous, just makes people apathetic to privacy.



can’t self-host signal

False, read its software license, linked above.




Nice, they should put that on their homepage.


Are all the apps libre software?


Will people read these comments and leave WhatsApp or will they stop caring about privacy?


Why don’t you fork Signal? Then, you’ll know the glowies aren’t funding you.

Which lines its libre software source code are malicious? Know what libre software is?





Will people read this and stop using the internet or stop caring about privacy?

Yes, looks good, thank you!

Will that run on a Pi? Can it shut off when I’m at home?






It’s MY house. I’m recording invaders. No one is inviting you here.



Ring doorbell alternatives (only camera or plus mic and speakers) + Small Size?
**Need at least the camera, if not that plus a microphone and speakers**, not the lock or bell. Libre Software (Obviously) + End-to-End Encryption Small and easy to hide, so the camera isn't stolen, attacked or bypassed. [Best answer yet](https://lemmy.today/comment/11113163)
