Why would Anyone do anything productive like that with that many people over a WhatsApp group


Excellent news honestly. Trying to get people to switch to something encrypted and the one thing I’ve thought of is that I want to know it can continue indefinitely. Everything else in life costs money- we just never think of it computer wise because we pay with our data and privacy.

This can join threema with a solid revenue stream. I back mine up locally but would pay for this anyhow.


Not that I can see. I assume it’s just an aversion to anything Microsoft profits off of?


At most I think it’s hosted on azure. That’s it.


This precisely. I tested dendrite before and now am trialing synapse with element x. The experience with the latter is night and day. Wait for that point before pushing it IMO.



I’d like to see some documentation that says passkeys were intended to never be synced across anything.

Everything I have ever read is that it’s basically asymmetric cryptography like ssh keys. You have a private one, generate the public and give it to the site. It stops reuse of passwords and site breaches become useless as the public key is useless for attacking an account on another site, etc. (well, besides whatever data was lost in the breach which is outside the scope.)

I see no reason to limit someone having the private key on their phone, their desktop, etc. Having to generate yet another passkey for every device is inefficient and would decrease adoption of this.


I’d add one tip- you can go to annual credit report.com and get a free report once a year.

The trick is to request just one per 4 months. First transunion or whoever, then experian, then Equifax, etc. No need to wait a year for a current report.


If I can find my message to them, I’ll post what it was. I can’t remember if the messages arrived oddly or if it was sending pictures, etc. etc. It was just some hangup where I couldn’t justify going to it. I would’ve liked to otherwise because like OP I basically only use Google at all for GV.



I would agree with this. Also, compared to aves and fossify (which are both great) you keep metadata on your phone and only strip it when sharing.


I do this but sadly not viable for everyone. It is a great option though.


Maybe. That is a one time payment but i guess they make their money on businesses. I like it but it’s not the slickest app yet.


Mandatory? And per month or year. Younger people might not remember but WhatsApp was $1/year (at least in the states.)

There shouldn’t be anything wrong with expecting payment to pay for servers, etc. If it’s free then you’re the product right?


This is usually related to the account used I’ve found. If one anonymous account doesn’t work, log out, try another, then search again.


Reolink or amcrest cameras paired with (software) frigate, blue iris, motioneye, shinobi, etc etc works fine.


Evidently there is a part at the bottom of advanced in the keyboard settings where you can choose to load the library. Download it from the link on the github page.



Not sure why you’re down voted. Yes some definitely do. You could get around it by hosting your own VPN on 443 or something but some do lock it down.

Their network, their rules. Makes sense.


Android is getting a complete rewrite if that’s what you’re using. Not sure on timeline but it’s coming ™.

Odd because they recently did a huge update to android anyhow. Overall I’m quite happy with it all.
