It’s a flag you set up yourself, it’s in your user configuration.

You can still buy all of those without any “smart” capabilities easily.

Unless the digital Euro or GNU Taler really become the norm… You are totally stuck with multibillion corps controlling every single digital cent of yours.

The data has already been scrapped, processed, categorized and indexed. This is quite literally true.

Do not worry about it, and simply try to not give them much from now on.

Also filling the internet with junk is how our best ever collective project dies. Don’t be a part of that.

How is FIFA going to kick the host of the World Cup? After literally creating a Peace Prize specifically to give it to Trump?

World’s Cup is going to be a shitshow.

My message to Telegram CEO: Open source your shit and we’ll talk then about freedom and whatever marketing campaing you are on right now. Bye.

Huge warning about XMPP:

If you encrypt with OMEMO (which seems to be the only accepted encryption nowadays), forget about being able to sync your messages to a new client. Forget about being able to try another client. That is, unless you want to lose all of your message history.

When I found this out while installing another distro… It made me so angry I literally stopped using it. I recommend Delta Chat, Matrix and Signal nowadays.

Come on, Zuckerberg, do what you said you’d do. Leave the EU. COME ON!! DO IT!!!

Also, Apple, you said you also wanted to leave because of the EU, right? DO IT!!!

Why are you still here?? Oh, turns out you can still make a fucking ton of money, huh? Also, if you left the EU, it would show the world WE DON’T NEED YOU. YOU SERVE NO PURPOSE, BUT TO MANIPULATE AND EXTORT FOR PROFIT.

Please stop with these useless articles. Yes, every world power likes gathering metadata. And no, USA is not a “better place” for metadata gathering.

Does omebody know about a trusted tool for easy deletion of specific chunks of info from Facebook?

I would like to keep some stuff so no copycats can be made, but I’d like to delete things such as my “liked movies” and shit.

It’s pretty fair to dunk on Brave because it’s Chromium. I don’t want the biggest ad company in the world having the monopoly on how we see the Internet, and Brave perpetuates that.

You can skip that step. Not that it’s okay, tho.

Signal should work, at least through my experience. It would also serve as a chat and stories alternative.

Just a note, but there are many many more invidious instances.

Is TeleGuard libre software? If it’s not, which seems to be the case… Then NOBODY knows what TeleGuard does (aside from certain company members of course).

I would run in the other direction.

I wouldn’t honestly pay for an email service that does not allow for PGP encryption. Go for mailbox.org or posteo for true standard-respecting emails.

What I dislike about XMPP is that the client ecosystem is definitely weaker than DeltaChat. DeltaChat “just works”, and it works incredibly similar and efficient across devices.

But yes, I wouldn’t mind if the world used XMPP instead, honestly.

EVERYONE SHOULD DOWNLOAD SIGNAL for PHONE-NUMBER-based communication, tho. Proper RCS is not here yet (and won’t be in a long while), so let’s try to mobilize people to Signal.

DeltaChat is cooler for non-phone based communications, IMO, and decentralization makes it way sexier and worth this tradeoff.

Because if you pay, you can have as many Proton accounts as you please.

Check out Luanti. It used to be called Minetest. It’s a libre version of the same thing.

Tutanota is also german, if I am not mistaken.

If you want a compatible, interoperable email service, then Mailbox. Tutanota is a propietary, centralised email system.

Did you guys know Firefox is still libre software? 😱 Like, all data usage is verifiable 🤯, and you can easily configure it so it doesn’t call home… Right? 🥵

Every couple of months there is an alarmist trend to kill Firefox, and then it turns out Firefox stays as the big libre option that respects your privacy and fights for freedom.

I am not saying they will never fail. But they haven’t so far. And that’s what matters.

Nope, they don’t share their server code. Not cool.

That’s a paid feature. Just in case.

I tried, they answered something along the lines of “this account is unrecoverable due to guidelines blablabla”. I had nothing, maybe a couple of issues in some repos, nothing illegal at all.

I got GitHub destroying 2 accounts of mine after doing something very similar. First try I thought it was a mistake. Second time i realised I was actually getting caught by some internal AI.

GNU Taler

Playing a bit of devil’s advocate here: any of you used these channels? Could it be that they were just spreading misinformation like every country does at war? Any example of existing zionist Telegram channels?

The title specifies that it’s the apps that are open source.

I’m sorry but I won’t bother switching to a ultra-minor browser for having to toggle something in the settings once every 2 years after 500 articles pop up about it.

The only broken thing is very specific stuff like Slack calls. In fact, it’s the only broken thing I’ve seen in a long while. Also fuck Slack.

I swear this question comes up everyday in Lemmy 😅.

Firefox, I just use Firefox because, it works, it has enough privacy measures, and everyone is looking at the codebase, something that cannot be said about most (if not all) forks.

Telegram client is the only thing from them that’s open, so I would stick to that as it’s where most eyes are looking.

Custom third-party clients. It’s a mess.

Worse than what? Fully featured chat, E2EE, can be self-hosted and federated. They have it all.

I was a Signal defender (although I still use it because it’s better than Telegram or WhatsApp) but now I’m more pushing for DeltaChat, Matrix and XMPP.

I’m just calling out your phrase saying that Telegram is not a messaging app, when it is. That is all.
