i wonder why they were pushing so aggressively for it’s adoption on computers.

it’s hugely popular in my global south country, but i think they are more proactive in blocking third party clients. i hate it with a passion.

til about ayugram, thanks for the rec, ill try it out.

do you happen to know of anything similar for whatsapp?

It does, but that kind of thing defeats a lot of the purpose of leaving these apps in the first place. Same with bridges that work in a hacky way. I usually sandbox these apps and hope for the best.

I consider FOSS third party clients an improvement (but not a solution) in most of these cases btw, so i’m very open to alternatives that are practical while keeping my semblance of a social life.

i mean its the guardian. i don’t know why i’m seeing it so much on lemmy lately.

does it work with whatsapp, telegram, fb messenger and insta contacts? i didn’t find it from a quick google, but i’m sold if that’s the case. i mean, that’s what baddies are using.

i agree the bubble color trash is shitty and manipulative, but i’m unaware of any baddies using open XMPP at any bar for their messaging.

yes baby steps. more important to get rid of zucc and his big brother eyes on everyone than to be 100% perfectly private from the get go.

ms was already wiretapped by the nsa in the XP era, according to snowden.

how is the state of TPM unlocking atm? i don’t do it because i use my computer remotely, and having to locally unlock it would break the setup. on my laptop sure, always encrypted.

likely propaganda to influence how you think of him.

it said “worldwide” on the website but its actually just the us

alternatively, you can use adaway to get the same blocklists directly on your phone.

its better with root but it works rootless.
