They don’t exist as a company anymore and the device itself was basically just a pi with a display, camera and mic and without a capable software. (afaik)

Most Pluton devices on the market have it off my default and I am not aware of any device where you can’t disable it (on x86).

Perfect Forward Secrecy has been around since version 5.0 (as an opt in beta feature) and enabled by default since 5.1.

Here is the original statement you’re referring to:

I don’t see any insults and the vulnerabilities were patched.

I agree that they downplayed it a bit, but back then they were still a for profit company. Now they are non-profit and it is in their interest to handle such cases in a way that is more aligned with their customers instead of their profits.

You left out two important real world aspects from your thought experiment.

1. one person cares about a specific aspect of the messenger - privacy - and the other doesn’t care, they are just on whatever their peers told them to be on. So if their messenger happens to have the aspect I care about I’ll do it. Since they don’t have any such criteria I expect them to do it as well.

2. If that person is important enough for me and doesn’t budge I’ll call or E-Mail them. Which is less private than an e2ee messenger, but more private than data harvesting companies.

I just told everybody that I only reply on Threema and don’t use anything else.

My thought process was - if they can’t be arsed to use another app (which is an extremely effortless task to do) then they are probably not worth staying in contact with.

The 3 people that were most important in my life at that point got the app immediately.

After over a decade with threema I now have over 40 contacts there, mostly friends, some colleagues, multiple hobby centric groups etc.

I guess just start and don’t compromise and be patient

The problem with Levenstein distancein this context is that it does not consider phonetics.

Sometimes differently written words rhyme perfectly and other times identically written words have multiple meanings and distinct pronounciations that do not rhyme.

My IDE can do that for me. And it was able to do that pre AI boom. Yes, the code ends up more verbose, but I just collapse it.

So from a modern dev UX perspective, this shouldn’t be a major difference.

GrapheneOS sometimes sacrifices privacy for security.

I had way more privacy related features and controls on a rooted LineageOS phone (which was obviously much less secure)

Huh?

I’ve been running radicle for a while to sync my desktop and mobile calenders without any hiccups ever.

Income from Steam is what ultimately made gaming on Linux viable. And to do that, they made significant open source contributions.

So I’ll keep giving them money of course.

Thats great!

But I think we need to look at it from the perspective of somebody migrating from GitHub. If OP is used to the GitHub GUI and uses it extensively in their workflow, they will probably be very frustrated while trying to do the same on sr.ht .

sr.ht is pretty good if you don’t care about a web GUI

oof

And I was just thinking about getting a subscription.

Time to selfhost SearXNG instead.

What the fuck did I just read? Some AI hallucination?

has insanely good deduplication and compression. May even fit everything on the 64gb usb.

But it does archives on a file basis, not partitions, so not sure what kind of hackerman admin priviledges you’d need to restore your windows in case you want to roll back. I’ve never used windows for this level of fucking with the os - but I’ve heard you can’t modify sys32 etc. even when you use the admin account.

Doesn’t Tails too?

Afaik grayjay has some blocking circumvention.

And personally FreeTube worked from the same IP, when regular youtube wanted me to log in.

Make a Threema group then I’ll join lol
