The problem is that there are no good solutions hosting and serving video with transcoding g is expensive. They do the best they can, but its not enough. This is where tech giants thrive, in the really expensive stuff that gets cheaper thanks to the economy of scale (is that the term? I forgot). Those are the big strongholds of YouTube, twitch, AI,

Storing and serving 4/8k 60 fps video is extremely expensive. It’s not like twitter where you could run it of a phone if you wanted to.

Thanks

I don’t see anything at !money@slrpnk.net

I have questions. I’ve known about taker for a long while now and always thought it would get nowhere not because its bad, but because people likely don’t care. However since the steam adult games sensorship, I seen it mentioned in Lemmy like 6 times. Even before crypto.

Has something changed? And I missing something? Do they have some actual big users? Do people now care? Or is allt his just a Lemmy bubble kind of thing?

To consider: sticking with the main browsers helps you resist fingerprinting

I forgot to test multi device which is the relevant thing here, but yesterday I installed it on my phone, created two profiles and sent messages fine. Today I tried it again, an nothing. It has no green dot on the profile picrutes(I’m assuming it’s green. I’m colorblind and its in the range of colors I can’t be sure).

Oh. I didn’t go that deep. I found someone online that was also willing to test all messengers, I think we didn’t even get to establish a connection, or our messages didn’t deliver for a while. We lasted less than a day

Interesting. I’ve tried Jami. The experience was bad, but I didn’t try multi device. I’ll try when I get home

Use simplex then. Not quite ready. But better than nothing

I’m donde with this conversation. I agree that signal is not for you . but it’s not because it’s insecure

What you want is anonymity. Not security.

You say that yet here you are. On a public forum. On a pseudonymous forum where a profile can eventually be built of you. They would beat you to get your Lemmy credentials, but since everything is public, they don’t need you

Correction . you are not wrong. They are RELATED anonymity increases privacy, and privacy without security doesn’t make sense. But up to a point. You may notice again that you can keep adding security layers on bitcoin (cold wallets and such), but privacy doesn’t change. Because ethey are different

You are worng. Unquestionably. But you are also unwilling to listen, so there is no need to keep explaining. Bitcoin should be the only argument I need for this since it is perfectly secure while not being private nor really anonymous (bitcoin is pseudonymous, not anonymous). In fact usernames do not add anonymity. They add… What do I call this… Pseudonymity? The difference is important. But you’d care

OK. You do you. The rest of us define security, privacy and anonymity in a whole other way.

If you keep thinking about it, you will keep finding cases where they (all 3) are not the same

I’m not really sure what you want to say with that. I always loved that comic although I always thought that my reason for wanting high security is not to be 100% protected from any thread. If you show up with a wrench I’m going to give you my btc seed before you even hit me. But I’ll know. If something has low security. It can happen without my consent and without me knowing

VERY different things.

Bitcoin is secure but not private.

Then it’s a privacy issue. Not security

Not more than using username and password. Phone number is a security risk be cause you can get Sim swapped. If you have the registration password it’s safe, but a government can request a bypass. However, if you had no phone number and used username and password, governments could still request a bypass
