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


Just for the context GUR is Ukraine's Main Intelligence Agency. Practically like the CIA is in the US. *** The relevant part, translated: BBC: You recently spoke about Telegram being a problem for Ukraine. Kyrylo Budanov: I can repeat that again for you. It is a huge problem. BBC: And what can be done about it? Kyrylo Budanov: Or, as they say, to put it in order - at least legally force everyone to register, so it is clear who is behind which media resource, and Telegram has already definitely acquired the status of media. There is no question of influence or pressure - the issue is not about that. If you want to promote your position - and it may not please someone and that is normal in a democratic society - take responsibility. What are you afraid to say who you are? BBC: So you're talking about anonymous Telegram channels? Kyrylo Budanov: They are all anonymous. Do you know a single Telegram channel that openly said I am this person? That's the answer. BBC: Could their closure become a solution to this problem? Blocking? Kyrylo Budanov: Temporarily yes, but I still believe they need to be forced to register. This will not be pressure on the press. In a democratic society, I say again, you cannot simply exert pressure... Why am I even telling you this? You are a media representative. Would you be very happy if someone came to you and said: that's it, from now on you write like this? Of course, that would be abnormal. But being afraid to say who you are is also wrong. And throwing anything into the ether on behalf of an anonymous person, excuse me, paid from completely different parts of the world is also abnormal. *** "We're not pressuring them, we are merely holding them accountable"

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





+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




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



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?


They rent their servers, so it depends on what you consider as running the server. They have virtual access to it, but they don’t own the hardware. At least, that’s the case for countries I checked, maybe they have their own servers somewhere too.


iVPN has Multi-hop feature, which looks similar to what you described in the post. Speaking of it, thanks for the detailed explanation!


What? I’m really struggling to see why this comment is upvoted and the article is downvoted. The article doesn’t contradict anything in this comment


You can dig as much shit on Mozilla. Every big browser company right now is shitty


Thanks to the CNN overlords for caring about privacy. Blatant liars.


FreeTube with local API works good. Same with NewPipe


Good and free services rarely go in hand in our capitalist society



Delete all data from the previous account and make a new one. Report the troll to moderators. Consider never visiting that place again if the mods won’t help you with the harassment.

If the troll doesn’t have access to the forum’s server, then all you have to do is learn some opsec and be aware of what you share with strangers on the Internet.

If the troll does have access to the server and you absolutely need to visit the forum (which I’d advise not to in such a case), then in addition to what has been said above, use VPN with a hardened browser or Tor to access the forum.


Brother, it has servers all over the world (including the US) where it hosts your data unencrypted. Telegram is nearly not inifinitely better than WhatsApp.


LMAO, the downvotes. Stop the bootlicking, please, asking for not lying in the promotions is not that big of a deal



The “truly private” req really smells with “I have no threat model and don’t know what am I doing”


Phones don’t provide the same experience as an e-reader with e-ink. The best option, IMO, is to get an e-reader that allows sideloading and works without Internet connection, so you can read books about the high seas.





Same on LineageOS. Force stopping the app and starting it again helps, but it will pop up again in some time. Helps if you find it annoying though.


Have you even been following what images AI can generate now? Every work is original, it doesn’t just copy and paste pixels.


Neither Matrix nor XMPP are software, those are protocols. Alsp, there is no point in specifying that XMPP is encrypted without doing the same for Matrix, since you can exchange plain text messages there too.

The Star of David on the GrapheneOS logo made me laugh out loud. This is so cringe, dude, please get some help before it’s too late.
