If you want to continue using Signal, you should fight for the right of others to use Telegram. “First they came for them and I said nothing”. The EU and others are trying hard to control people’s private messaging.

Yup people can be vicious even when somethings totally free, it’s horrible.

That would require the other user to use the same app as you right? Could be interesting.
Exactly because Mozilla was around to see the Internet grow and mature they should have been fit to create such a suite.
I feel like Mozilla could have been what NextCloud is today. Totally free, open source, and offering a vast offering of office apps, with paid hosted versions. It could be all neatly integrated into Firefox, and you would pay a premium to use them without self hosting. The only thing they did was create Firefox VPN, and the only reason most people use VPNs is because of scammy marketing.
Ah interesting. I didn’t know. I started using Firefox as a kid around version 2.
I totally want Firefox to make money, but I wonder if donations couldn’t be a significant part of that pie today. It seems a lot more people would prefer to donate to Firefox than Mozilla.
Firefox has never tried to run on donations though.
I wouldn’t mind the ID if providers were regulated properly and couldn’t harvest user data, but naturally that’s not the case 😢 even governments expect to be able to request customer data.
I think the whole of Europe requires ID for SIM cards these days.
The problem is that you can’t fly anonymous. They will always know exactly who you are. But yeah, you can at least try to limit the information on you, but still.
Oh please. It’s 2024, and you’re still wondering how a company knows who you are? The plane knows who is sitting on which seat, unless you change seats, and the airline has, at least: you email, your credit card, name, address, gender, age, nacionality, origin and destination. From there, they can ask a number of data brokers for more information like purchase habits, health, wheather you have children, your field of work, etc etc. Even if it’s one’s of those flights without assigned seats, there are cameras in the cabin. It would be pretty easy to face ID who is sitting where.
I assume these folks implemented their own AR stack, so the Linux world would indeed to win much with them being here, other than convincing people to use Linux in general.
It will definitely be a brick soon enough but I hope it’s at least hackable enough that people do something with it afterwards.
Apps on Linux don’t need to be open source, you know?
It’s not trolling. Eich is a scumbag but if you ditch Brave, right now your only real options and Microsoft Bing and Google. And I think MS and Google do way more bad to the world than Eich. How many MS nd Google executives do you think are right wingers donating to anti gay groups? Definitely not zero.
And Microsoft has a habit of interfering with democracies and bribing governments. Let’s not pretend any big tech is a saint. The difference between dumb billionaires like Eich and Musk and others is that they have bad PR.
My grandma call me saying she’s sick of Widows and its shenanigans and asked me to install gentoo on her machine next time I come around. Gonna be a fun weekend.
I mean, just look at reddit. It’s full of whole fake threads of bots talking to bots using copied comments and the only way you can guess it’s a bot is by going through their history.
They World governments want to ban Signal and make it illegal to use it. That’s the problem.
