I looked at some info for reporting this to the kernel developers but the process is too complicated at the time. I’m currently a bit short on time but I did report it to libinput, maybe they can give pointers where exactly to report this.

What about Tauri? I don’t know what exactly your app is but since you mentioned Electron as an option I guess Tauri could run it. Offers more choice for frontend frameworks hence less „language lock-in“ than Qt.

!helldivers2@lemmy.ca just dropping this here to help growing smaller communities :)

Just know that sites like this are useless if you don’t understand the results. There are anti-fingerprinting techniques that add random noise to your fingerprint. This might result in these kind of tests claiming you have a completely unique fingerprint, even though the anti-fingerprinting mechanisms randomise the fingerprint for every site, browser session, etc. (depending on the config). This would mean that you are relatively „safe“ from fingerprinting because you never have the same print twice but tests think you are very vulnerable because it’s still a random “unique“ fingerprint.

Yea but many of them were involved. The Audi CEO at the time was on the board making the decision and the first to be convicted.

Don’t worry, I don’t think you are. I just think there’s a reason they admitted so easily. Probably just another calculated fallout to save all their other brands from their own mini backlash which would ultimately cause more damage.

But yes, the whole industry is a dumpster fire when it comes to regulations and also lobbying.

I mean they also own like half the industry. So, I don’t feel particularly bad for them to be honest.

I mean if they’d use the backdoor no one would know. It’s not like they would declare ah ye we used our secret Signal backdoor.

That’s not how it works. All metadata is also E2EE with the same protocol. Even if they control all servers it wouldn’t change much.

Organic Maps is by far the best client imho and it has a special outdoor layer when on trails.

I think we can be pretty damn sure that the encryption is not backdoored since the Signal Protocol is the gold standard in encryption nowadays and thousands if not more highly skilled cryptographers without tied to the US govt looked at it thoroughly. Also Snowden calls Signal the best messenger on the grounds on him using it daily and still being alive so that’s also a pretty good sign.

Also, do you have a source about them being mainly funded by the US govt? In their blog they talked about mainly being funded by small donors and a few initial loans from people who care about privacy.

I mean they did also inject affiliate links without the users noticing which is really shady behaviour from a browser because it has one job, open the link I click and nothing else. But that’s just IMHO if that is acceptable for you personally then there is no issue with that.

Just leaving this here for everyone! This browser extension saved me a lot of hassle so many times. We need to stop paying where possible and this is the convenient legal way for a lot of papers out there: https://unpaywall.org/

I never actually tried myself, but it seems like the documentation certainly could be improved. I saw that they provide a Docker compose, so perhaps that could be of help if you didn’t use that the last time around. They are currently in the process of cleaning up the projects to make things more maintainable and easier to get an overview, so let’s hope things might improve a bit. I think for me personally, this certainly seems like the most promising Discord replacement because it feels like a set and get solution for non-techy people trying to switch instead of relearning everything like with Matrix.

Revolt is self-hostable. It isn’t E2EE but if you’re controlling the users anyways transport encryption should be enough since you have control over the data anyway.

I don’t see how downloading Signal is directly making this a scam? It might just be that the company cares about security and privacy and isn’t comfortable sharing confidential company data over something like LinkedIn?

If the offer seems legit and you applied for it there is no way you can get scammed just by texting them on Signal.

I think the story is actually much more interesting! Archeologists have a bunch of theories, including the prosthetic, but there is no proof or anything that this was actually a prosthetic. Other ideas include a sceptre or a cultural artefact used to offer things to gods.

It’s the earliest occurrence of a bronze hand and they are still searching for indications what it’s actual use was.

If that is your threat model you can put your phone number privacy to no one. Then I can’t see you use Signal even if I have your contact with your phone number saved and adding you with your username won’t show you as my phone contact with the same phone number.

Sure you can delete your Grub or whatever, but generally I don’t think it ever was the goal of Linux to give the user the ability to destroy hardware instead of just having to reinstall.

So, do you stop rooting for your favourite sports team because they can’t be world champion? Do you not support a small artist you like because he won’t ever be as big as van Gogh?

Like, will desktop Linux overtake Windows anytime soon in market share? No. Do I use Linux on all my machines? Yes. Does that mean I’m not allowed to like it / hope for more adoption or hell, help people who would like to get away from Windows?

I get your point and I mostly agree. But why exactly should that be an argument for people to stop liking / improving something that’s objectively got more future?
