Being a Kirk wannabe comes with a caveat.

I’m referring to archive.today and its mirrors like archive. ph.

Edit: Added a space to the link so it’s not actually linked.

This community needs a rule against malicious links.

Being armed didn’t help Alex Pretti. I’d seriously consider leaving the country.

Could you link where they say that?

What about the astrological signs of the people?

Same, even though I help run relatively large servers. I’m there for the communities but it would be a deal-breaker.

You’re right, though even on reddit, nothing stops people from archiving threads via the Web Archive. On the other hand, reddit most definitely uses your data for AI, while on Lemmy it’s not by default and server admins can block crawlers altogether.

Are you saying someone could keep their account even if their ATProto instance goes down? On Mastodon, you’d still get to keep the migrated followers, right? The instance maintainer would just have to announce closure in advance.

I didn’t suggest F-Droid for inclusion though. I merely used its applicable terminology. Still, with Google Play, you trust Google to ensure that the apk is from the actual source, and with F-Droid, that’s delegated to F-Droid. I don’t see that as being less secure.

I don’t think giving into Google seizing more power is the way. People doing that is what enables the corporation to continue and have more control over their lives, including their privacy.

Why is being on the Google Play store a feature worth highlighting? To use an F-Droid expression, that would be an anti-feature.

I can see the original quote being either about a logical fallacy as you’re explaining or about entering spaces to confront people about unrelated things. That doesn’t bring me any closer to understanding the “checkers” / “waffles” reply though. Is she saying “stay on the topic”? I really don’t know.

I don’t understand the “waffles” comment though, even after reading the context.

PrivacyGuides being among those bros.

He left it performatively. Since then, he’s secretly visited Russia, one time just around its unblocking in Russia, while pretending to be a fugitive.

Edit: Here’s an article on that.

More recently, it’s been a major target of a Russian influence campaign. Russia also has a military presence there via Wagner.

Going by your logic though, what would stop a Five Eyes country like the UK from pressuring the developer of SimpleX into creating a backdoor? Besides, as discussed, even if it were bulletproof, it’s improbable that the victim would have no other apps on their device, one of which could be exploited by the likes of NSO Group. The creators of Android and iOS are also obviously US-based, so your point would have to apply to them as well. From there, if someone remotely gains full access to the device, it won’t matter if you use Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp, SimpleX, or that new Russian thing. However, having e2ee is still better than nothing in that it protects from other attack vectors, like the ISP analyzing the traffic and reporting to the government.
