I am doubtful about the agency of the commenters here. Does not seem natural, more like a group of bots / paid russian trolls.

It doesn’t. Russians are still free to use and contribute to Linux development. Just a few people lost their maintainer rights.

The fork has no hope of survival. Are you telling me Russia’s Ministry of Digital Development can maintain a project of this size? lol, rofl even.

Although I value privacy, I value sustainability more. Choose an option you feel most comfortable with, option which puts the least burden on your shoulders.

They have published requests from the law enforcement and their responses to these requests. The only unencrypted data they have is the phone number, a date of sign up and a date of the last login. That is it, everything else is encrypted and they cannot access it whatsoever.

The phone number is not connected to the messages. That’s the only thing they have. It is the best app for privacy.

They don’t need physical access (hold the device in their hand), they just need a command execution, which is a much lower bar. I expect some defence in depth for an application that holds some of the most private information there is about me.

PoC on 32 bit requires thousands of authentication attempts, so any sane firewall should protect you against it already. Afaik there isnt any for 64 bit

What the fuck you just killed me

Storage efficiency, faster queries, more metadata, unified format, etc. If your host breaks, you can download the journals and open then elsewhere. Also, there is nothing stopping you from configuring it to output to a file.

Strange

Good take

“I don’t like X.” Does X anyway.

He has a great content though. Some of his takes are a bit strange, but he didnt cross the line yet for me.

There is no place for a russian propaganda outlet.

Isn’t that horribly insecure? I have my doubts regarding privacy. LocalSend sends to the device directly, without an intermediary.

I wonder how stable are these fancy widgets. It seems a lot ow work is needed to set it up correctly. I would be fine as long as the API doesn’t change every few weeks. Could you give me your thoughts on that?

Apparently (see a comment on the original post), the “Chamber” is a private lobbying group and not a part of any official USA government institution.

I have the same use-case as @Duckytoast@sh.itjust.works. I didn’t test the integrity feature because it is my work machine and I am not fond of doing experimental stuff on it.
