Efter formiddagens gode ping-pong omkring #Signal - er det vigtigt at blive ved med at huske på at #Signal IKKE er en MegaCorp #BigTech med 'gratis' tjenester - der lever af at stjæle dine data og sælge dem

- men er afhængig af donationer - specielt vigtigt at huske andre (ledelsen) på - at de der bruger #Signal i professionelle sammenhænge husker at donerer - så #Signal kan fortsætte det store arbejde de laver - på mange fronter i kampen for #privatliv signal.org/donate/

Schaue mir für die Arbeit gerade die unterschiedlichen Jungorganisationen der Parteien an und bin positiv überrascht, dass die Jö (Jugendverband der ÖDP) auf ihrer Homepage mit #signal Gruppen wirbt. Alle anderen machen immer insta oder #fff glaub WhatsApp Gruppen…
Schön, dass das nicht die einzigen Möglichkeiten sind

Tonight, I uninstalled Discord from my system. In its place, I am going to try Revolt. I already use Signal for a small number of contacts but don't expect everyone to move to it.

My reasoning is because I have been concerned for a long time about Discord's business practices. They are trying to jam in ads and monetization wherever they can. Not only is the software proprietary, it is essentially spyware.

#Signal for iOS v7.71 release notes:

* Persistence pays off, but it’s even better when things work on the first try. We fixed a bug that sometimes required multiple attempts in order to send a sticker from the iOS emoji keyboard. The same fix also works for Genmoji too, so we hope you Genjoy it.

ASIO and the Albanese Labor government demanding the not-for-profit Signal Foundation to first create, and then provide, a so-called “backdoor” mechanism for them to access the data of users.

“Ultimately, we’re talking about the ability to sustain fundamental human rights in the face of industrial and government pressure that has metastasised surveillance across our core infrastructures over the last few decades.”

@adisonverlice @nick precisely.

  • Whereas @delta couldn't hand over any data even if they wanted to and since it's #FLOSS any attempts at i.e. hardcoding a #backdoor or #blocking domains would be trivial to detect and undo by virtue of #forking.

  • Whereas with @signalapp one has to rely on @Mer__edith et. al.'s promise that the code they release - regardless if app but esoechally backend - is the code they run.

Which is doubtful at best aka. "#TrustMeBro!" - level of guarantee…

  • Also #Signal's business is unsustainable as unlike @monocles they don't recoup operational costs from their users but act as #VCmoneyBurningParty, and that will inevitaboy backfire
