Of course. Sorry, but I meant no middleman as in minifying the role of the server in your messahing. Signal’s goal is to ensure the server cannot have access to your messages and its only role is to receive and send data.

It’s focused on ensuring there is no middleman between you and the other party, but it does not have a goal to provide anonymous messaging. Sadly.

I provided links to their websites in the original comment.

Since when does it not? I have found Privacy Guides community the sanest in that regard so far. I suppose you ran into some people in the discussions that are not related to the PG team and misconcluded that this is the opinion that Privacy Guides endorses.

Anyway, other communities that are usually more accepting over the radical ones are The New Oil and PrivSecDev. But again, note that this topic attracts many people with tin foil hats. No matter where you go, you will stumble upon them.

Another win for piracy community

Sharing users’ data with China means storing Chinese users’ data in local servers that can be accessed by local authorities (as any servers, really). It doesn’t mean it would have sent data from, say, French users to Chinese servers. Another sensationalist bs article.

Beautiful post. I am already foreseeing linking to it in a heated discussion, this is rock solid.

It is a joke and I thought it was a ridiculously obvious one.

They went as far here in Ukraine as making some services exclusive to those who have the app. The official government app for digital documents and services, Diia, also has stupid integrity check, which makes it unable to be installed from Aurora Store, which makes me cut out from such services, because I don’t have Google Services installed. By the way, there are Google trackers in the app.

Most of the cost from not moving from requiring phone to be connected to people’s accounts and not desiring for the central server to federate with others.

FOSS Communities:

Every state wants a monopoly on violence. The more powerful the state, the less there are entities that could opress you except the state itself. So it’s not unexpected that the cops would object to have a “competitor” with facial recognition technology

I’ve been doing this for a few years and eventually got tired of whitelisting websites. I’ve went as far as using NoScript for fine-grained control, but what’s the point? If you need a single feature JS, or a single article on a domain, you will let everything run if you grant the permissions, so why bother?

Better keep JS on and run an up-to-date browser with a custom DNS to filter out known malicious websites. Also, don’t visit random links, that’s an actually good advice.

You can do that, but Simplex has a limit on the amount of users in a group due to encryption. There is no point in using an e2ee messenger for public announcements

The title was very boring and I thought that was some cringey game but the description made me want to try this out soon

Tf is LEA? I can’t find any relevant info on what this is.

How is IA profitable?

GPay doesn’t work on GrapheneOS IIRC.

i really wish it worked on sake

😂😂 this is all very funny, bud, but if you make such assumptions without proofs you will quickly go insane.

Inel ME is ridiculously complex for the goal of collecting telemetry. Intel uses drivers for that purpose.

ME is likely used for security. Not yours, though:

1. Security of the company, for example, when someone decides to steal large amount of CPUs or something like that. We’ve seen something similar when a South African shop was robbed of Samsung TVs, which were remotely disabled.
2. National security. Obviously, should a great war break out that would directly confront NATO, the US would be quick to pressure Intel into remotely messing with enemy country’s computers.

Do you have proofs that Intel ME was actually used for tracking?

Will delete your account due to inactivity. Could ask for a phone number in some cases

Woah, easy, man, you’re asking for too much with such requirements

Finally! Literally the biggest update of the last… how many years?

And stumble upon barely useble OSes? BSDs now are as niche as Linux distros were a decade ago

Not enough. Read madaidan’s ramble on that topic

They do. I absolutely love it

more secure end-user experience

He doesn’t know 💀

+1 for the keyboard. I thought it was a meme app at first but it turned out to be way better than I ever expected. Written from Thumb-key BTW.

You’re going to have hard time in life, if you only install software through the apt package manager

Libreddit is discontinued and due to draconian API limits most instances rarely work

B: and so does matrix, on which Circles is built

Where did you find their privacy policy?

Mumble would be better for VC than TeamSpeak, in my humble opinion.

Network & servers -> Transport isolation

Who are you and your so-and-so in Simplex’s case? It doesn’t have identifiers and maintains separate connections to server for each identity (can be changed in the settings to go even further and maintain separate connection for each chat)

Wow, these news caught me off-guard. Never would’ve expected THAT from Meta… Gosh…

Can’t you containerise Firefox with something like AppArmor instead?

It works like that on Mull too. Maybe it’s a desktop browser issue?
