I guess it could, as we have to take meta’s word for it, and a quick google search hasn’t turned up any independent security audit.

They don’t want to ban encryption, they want to block encrypted chat apps, precisely so they don’t have to build backdoors. AFAIK it’s not possible to break signal/WhatsApp encryption without access to the targeted device, and once you have access you can get the messages directly without having to break the encryption.
Thanks for checking us out :) We had an audit done by quarkslab a few years back, and another one coming up this year since we’re currently implementing verified relations (signed SDPs). I’ll edit my comment with a link when I get back to work next week.
If you want a simpler solution than Matrix and don’t mind using a non-opensource app you could try twinme. You only need a username and a picture to create an account (could be anything, “Jane Doe” and a white square if you want). It has a couple unique features like multiple identities and click-to-call links, which you can share with people who don’t have the app so they can call you using only a web browser (e.g. on craigslist, lost pet flyers, …).
I work on this app as a full-stack dev, and for what it’s worth we only upload/store data that is strictly required for the app to work. We’re lobbying to open source it because we have nothing to hide and we know how important it is for the privacy/security minded folks, but it will take some convincing before management agrees to it…
Their own solution is actually better than a VPN for this use case. It’s an encrypted proxy which anyone can download and run, so it’s much harder to block.
Yes the Steam deck FS is ext4.
Why ext2 on Void?
Shut the fuck up or I’ll go OTAN on your ass.
It’s standard practice in France too. This is not forbidden by RGPD.
Yes that’s the case under GNOME, KDE and sway.
I guess my point is, you should :)
I use firefox exclusively, on both my laptop and my phone. It works perfectly on any website I throw at it. I work for a startup which makes video call apps, the web client works perfectly under Firefox, and there’s a grand total of 2 devs working on it.
All this to say that if I come across your website and it doesn’t work under Firefox, AFAIC it’s your website that has issues, not Firefox.
As for the reason, you might be fine with a single megacorp dictating the way the web works, but for many of us who remember what it was like in the IE hegemony days it’s a serious concern.
Works great on my laptop. It takes automatic snapshots before and after running the package manager, no problem so far.
Yeah but for a publicly traded company, quarterly growth is the name of the game. If the numbers go down long enough, it’s game over for them.
I used a compose file from reddit and made a couple of adjustments, it was pretty quick and works great. I dont have a VPN though.
Nope, France. I checked because I wanted to pay for it after pirating it.
Same, stopped pirating when Netflix became available here. By 2024 I was subscribed to 4 different services, and was still missing out on a lot of cool stuff. So when I got my first Prime video ad I just said fuck them, bought a NUC, set up jellyseerr+Jellyfin+a bunch of *arrs, and canceled all my subscriptions. Now I can watch anything I want, and the experience is so much better than any of the legal services.
I recently… acquired Scavengers Reign. It’s one of last year’s best TV shows, but there’s simply no way to watch it legally in my country.
Wireguard, like all VPNs, definitely does E2E encryption. What would be the point of an unencrypted VPN?
It’s not new, it started when they released GNOME 3.
Same as Windows and MacOS, really. You can follow best practices and conventions, or just install your software wherever you want.
