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.

RCS is supposed to be a distributed protocol, just like SMS, but using data. It is not the same as Signal. Tho, currently, Google is the main provider for almost all phone companies.

RCS is not another chat app.

It’s the NEW SMS. That is why it is so important, and that is why it works ONLY IF YOU HAVE A PHONE. Because that’s literally the point.

Having your mom, grandpa, and everyone automatically use encrypted, modern comnunication just because they have a phone is extremely important.

Realise that in places where SMS has been historically free, SMS is the standard.

XMPP, Matrix or whatever will obviously still have its place for more “incognito” conversations. But having a phone number should also give you access to a better alternative than SMS.

Pedantic, but Google Messages’ RCS. And it’s all Google’s fault because they are holding the API hostage, probably because they want to create familiarity with the app so that people don’t switch once they finally open up.

They are remaking all apps as native apps so maybe this problem gets addressed too.

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

Where’s that tool then?

But an AI can “realise” the code might be downloading something it doesn’t need to. That’s the point.

AI is “smart” and understands that you told it that the library was supposed to do something specific, and it can understand that and look for things that seem not correlated to the purpose of the repo.

Yes, of course, the idea would be something like passing the AI a repo link and a prompt like “this repo is supposed to be used for X, tell me if you find anything weird that doesn’t fit that purpose”.

I understand, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see some solution out there that could maybe feed the AI chunks of code without context… It may still be able to detect “hey you told me this software is supposed to do X and here it seems to be doing Y”.

I guess we’ll have to wait a couple of years for these tools to be accessible and affordable.

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.

But Telegram IS a messaging app? Their motto is literally “a new era of messaging”.

It works great these past few days, and I’ve used it today. It works. You might not use the latest version.

Don’t use F-droid official repos, use the NewPipe f-droid repo or the IzzyOnDroid one.

That downloads directly from YouTube, and for that the best Android app by far is NewPipe and its forks, like Tubular.

IMO, the best order for everything is:

1. Piped (you can keep subs and playlists but watch from another instance, this is PERFECT when one instance gets limited)
2. Invidious
3. Tubular (NewPipe fork with sponsorblock)
4. YouTube website

On Android, LibreTube (Piped) is the best IMO, you can log into some Piped server for subs and playlists, but select another instance for viewing, so you still get your subs and playlists even if you had to fall over to another instance to watch videos. I have 3 or 4 instances that I know generally work, so I switch between them whenever one gets limited or broken.

If YouTube changed something that breaks Piped, that’s when I try Clipious (Invidious), and if that is broken too, I go to Tubular (NewPipe fork with sponsorblock). Last resort is obviously YouTube website.
