I heard the messages even stay when you delete them. At least people claimed they could recover then, don’t know whether that’s actually true.

You can use it in a browser or opt for WebCord.

Note that any text send to discord currently stays there forever. I don’t know when, but you can bet your ass they will be investigated for a violation of the GDPR, which hopefully stops that for good.

There are plenty, although some might be regional, others had security issues. In Europe, I know of Klarna, Skrill and (kind of) Revolut. In the US there are Block (Cash App) and ofc Google, Apple and Amazon… But I guess they are not really an upgrade :D

Waterfox? Librewolf? Why not both?

Firefox enhanced tracking protection is pretty based here if you ask me

Edward fucking Snowden has recommend Signal and I think if anyone knows whether it’s secure, it’s probably him and the NSA.

That and he is paranoid to a point where he physically kills all mics and cameras on his devices, so if he claims anything is secure, I will believe him unconditionally.

Heh, we the best. Now excuse me while I use my amazing brainpower to watch questionable anime and get more depressed 🫥

Viofo A119 is great, but front view only. Could just get two of them tho…

Tbf, they held a user vote in Germany (supposedly, although the app did ask me to vote) whether to work with them or risk to cease services. Iirc the backgrounds were extremist (terrorist?) groups operating on the platform

Does it block MS tho?

Woah, chill Proton. I know I started using it, but you didn’t have to buy it for me. I like it tho. Very frequently updated app, lots of features.

I don’t even get why they care. Can’t you just inform users once, then drop support and still collect their data?

Great, now we need to convince Linus that anti-cheat is definitely worth being implemented in Linux or what?

Might be a fun project tho… Actually, might become the anti-cheat to rule them all. Who likes cheaters anyway? 🤔

I love how in security, we have gone from “use strong passwords” to “don’t make your own passwords”, because people will just refuse to learn.

I mean, I get it, I like small bezels too, but it’s pretty low on the list…

Lucky you, for me they basically ruined group chats completely. I get notifications for the wrong topic. Reply to a notification, you might end up posting in a couple ones. The client will sometimes jump to the very beginning of the chat history. Sometimes I don’t get notifications for a topic, sometimes old messages appear as new ones.

It has become next to unusable for me.

Plus the bugginess of the new features. Create a group with topics? You’ll have a great time…

And a lot of quality of life improvements are still missing. Use more than one client? You don’t expect proper sync, do you? True E2EE (secret chats)? Well, no more than one client to begin with. Plus you lose a lot of features. Auto-delte messages? Well, you can, but others can just turn it off. Plus you can’t enable or disable it for all chats at once.

What really weirds me out tho is how aggressively they try to make you sync your contacts…

Afaik they use your phones contacts. If you want to delete one, you need to delete the number from your phone.

Trusting the CCP with your texts is a fantastic idea with no chance of backfiring.

No chance of firing back at the hit-squad that’ll be after you, if you send Winnie the Pooh memes that is.

Maybe if the EU did this, something like that would happen. With the UK? Pull your headquarters out there and dare them to block your service.

Go ahead, ban all messaging services and cause riots. I’ll wait.
