I use Wire. Its the best option right now. Better than SimpleX, Signal, and Matrix for many reasons

I don't think Russians actually thought that. Its just that if they publicly pointed out the issues with Telegram and publicly suggested better alternatives, bad things would happen to them.

Why do you think they (and Signal) require phone numbers?

If you're upset, just ask them for the source. If they don't respond, sue.

In any case, we're all going to get the source and we'll all benefit from this.

Anyone have a link to the video that's not behind an authwall?

I don't think its a dox unless you prepare a dossier. Just learning someone's PII isn't doxing them

For its part, Meta cautions users against being glassholes in its privacy policy

Lol

That's a great school project

When can i haz drone swarm?

Meta glass, not Google glass? What did I miss?

If its forked from a Foss project then its necessarily a Foss project. That's why we use Foss licenses.

It doesn't matter what the license chatgpt spat out says. If they forked from a Foss base repo, then all of the code they make will be FOSS too. This is great.

Don't use your real name, obviously.

Use codeberg. Or you could self host it and just not provide contact info.

They're towards the top, but there's a handful of others that demonstrate they are doing good work

Yes. Pay anonymously and change accounts every few months.

If possible, share your VPN creds with others, such as installing it as a whole-house VPN for you and a neighbor. The more mixing, the better.

You can read more about this learning about X.509.

Its the PKI thats broken, namely the root stores. Has been unreliable for many, many years. This is why packages are signed.

How is it boot licking to get money from rich people to develop open source software?

Lemmy is FOSS that was funded by a grant from NLNet. Its the same outcome as this.

If anyone is licking boots, its the rich people licking the FOSS boots

How? Literally how will they contact you?

This is great. So all their VC-funded work will get released publicly, and we all benefit.

I don't see why people are upset that FOSS projects are getting VC funding for development..
