  • We really need someone with budget to take Nintendo to court over this.

    Sadly, I don't think that will happen.

  • discord and messenger are pretty bad when it comes to privacy, neither even bother end-to-end-encrypting calls.

    Signal really is the best choice, but due to the phone number registration requirement, unless you're fine with the one-time purchase of some prepaid SIMs or something, that might get a bit annoying.

    SimpleX is decent enough with calls for now (when they work), but connection times can be abysmal

    This is where I would jump to Matrix / Element, but Element is currently in the middle of re-making their mobile Apps, including the entire calling feature 🥴

  • Probably the only downside with this is the fact that it can take quite some time for the call to actually connect

    I mean, in the context of anonymity that is very good due to it's design, but maybe not perfect for this usecase

  • I know enough people that hate Material Design 3, or even just the Monet component, so I'll leave that for everyone to decide for themselves.

  • My copy of Breezy Weather has Precipation Notifications 🤔

  • well, not if you want a UI that's designed around threads like Lemmy or Kbin does 🤔

  • FWIW, Voyager has a Material-Design inspired alternative look that can be enabled in the settings.

  • I'm curious about all the people in this thread saying regarding phone numbers considering I do have an account that's just an email alias and thats it 🤔

  • you can fit hail to do that, as apps are unaccessible without going through Hail, and Hail has an option to lock it behind pattern/fingerprint 🤔

  • iMessage can also run over e-mail.

    And RCS was designed by the GSMA which is effectively a bunch if telecommunications companies.

  • Well for one, iMessage runs over the internet and Apple isn't a telecom company (Verizon, etc)

    Either way, the TL;DR is that either there must be a backdoor or something else to allow law enforcement to access communications that run over telecom companies. This doesn't apply when a user does it, but definitely when telecom companies design a messaging protocol.

  • No I mean the new bitwarden app works completely offline lol

  • Didn't say it wasn't, however you said that this new app was tied to online sync, which it is not.

  • Have you heard if VaultWarden?

  • The System's VPN imementation is broken. All of them are broken.

  • a bit late to crosspost that here, no? 🤔

  • The code itself is just text, an IDE just gives you fancy integration.

  • This new app is offline.
