@ity #webxdc is a shared spec and joint impelemntation with eg #cheogram and #monocles ... It has nothing to do with proton. Webxdc apps are shared in a chat and run inside the messenger. Proton does not have a messenger. Webxdc apps work on all platforms that #webxdc messengers are released for, including @deltatouch , an Ubuntu based phone. DeltaTouch runs all webxdc apps including the realtime p2p ones. @lk108 is doing an incredible job :)

@lauren no, because @signalapp is subject to #CloudAct (= incompatible with #GDPR & #BDSG if you ever care!) and collects #PII in the firirm of #PhoneNumbers, which are at best pseudonymous but trivial to track and at most means that people inviting others without their consent comitted an illegal disclosure if PII!

Give #XMPP+#OMEMO a shot: @monocles / #monocles & @gajim / #gajim.

Good holidays to everyone! And to all who have to work during this time, keep up your good work!

News:
From today until the 31. December monocles chat is available for free in the Playstore:

play.google.com/store/apps/det

Feel free to chat with us on XMPP support@conference.monocles.eu

There are sometimes discussions about an end-to-end encrypted private social media e-mail chat network 🤯 Basically you could follow delta chat profiles and subscribe and probably react to their encrypted broadcasts ....

This and many other discussions are the "humus" on which #deltachat evolves and, for example, became a super-app: Android 1.50.3 spearheads direct #webxdc app picking via the "attach" chat action. Actually #cheogram and #monocles, both #xmpp messengers, released this first!

THIS is where I disagree...

You may think it's elitist, but if people are too lazy to learn even fundamentals like how to use #Tails then maybe they should just not do #tech at all?

  • Like: We expect people to show at the every least theoretical proficiency in terms of #TrafficCode and #VehicleSafety in +every juristiction I'm aware of* and literally mandated #DrivingLicense|s for that reason.

I'll gladly teach #TechIlliterates but I won't waste my time on people that spread disinfo...

It's 2024: @tails_live / @tails has been out for over a decade and there are a shitload of guides ranging from written documentation to Zoomer-friendly TikTok-Style shorts on how to get started.

FOR THE LAST TIME:

*STOP MAKING EXCUSES TO JUSTIFY ESCALATING COMMITMENT TO EVIDENTLY BAD SOLUTIONS!"

Whereas with #SelfCustody of all the keys as well as #ReproduceableBuilds and real #decentralization, this would be evidently impossible even if all the devs wanted to comply honestly and not just because they could be held at gunpoint.

  • #Signal is not your friend. It's merely a tax-exempt "non-profit" corporation, and corporations are explicitly nobodys friend - espechally when they demand #PII like phone numbers for useage.

Compare that to #monocles where you do pay like €2 p.m. but in return get #standard #protocols like #IMAP, #SMTP & #XMPP and can pay anonymously and not have to provide any PII whatsoever!

  • And unlike #Signal they ain't dependent on #VC funding and #grant money to keep the lights on.

Make of that what you will, but just like allowing flatearthers to roam freely without caretaker supervision doesn't make the world less round, so won't the facts change about #ITsec, #InfoSec, #OpSec & #ComSec.

Because all #centralized, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider solutions are bad, and if they don't even allow for #SelfCustody then they are just a #grift to #scam tech-illiterates that don't know and/or don't care!
