  • I’m not sure this is great advice. In principle it is. But you can’t tell a windows user “yes. You know how many of the programs you used to use are not available because they don’t make a Linux version? Well a lot of the ones that do you shouldn’t use even though the distro supports it for reasons you don’t understand”

    That is better advice for an intermediate used learning about the dangers (or lack there of) sideloading.

    In general o disagree with your stance on a basically semantic reasons: the definition of a trusted source. If I trust a software manufacturer and they tell me to use their flatpak, it’s fine because they are trusted, regardless of the format. What I do not like are things like the AUR






  • Such a high horse for such a tiny person.

    1. On simplex you can “start chatting” asynchronously
    2. You didn’t say “start chatting”. You said “start sending messages” which is something you do with people every day
    3. “Start chatting” and “continue chatting” do not mean what you imply the mean. There is no distinction between them as “the absolute first time” and “all the others”. I can start talking again with a friend I haven’t talked to in months. I can also start talking about a previous topi (" me and my girlfriend started talking once again about having children")

    So… You know… Maybe get off the horse? It’s not that everyone around you is an idiot is that you failed to communicate… Or you are an idiot









  • From the blog you provided. Next time. Read your sources

    In the absolute worst case, a totally malicious Signal Server can perform traffic analysis to correlate the IP address assigned to the messages arriving with the delivery token for a recipient.

    And

    Sealed Sender cannot totally hide the recipient (else the server wouldn’t know where to route the messages).

    Edit: removed the word “moron”. I’m not a native English speaker and I thought it meant something else. It seems its like “retard” which I wouldn’t use as an insult. I’ve used it so much…


  • I’m not the one that is not listening. I don’t care about the ones they post. I care about the ones they don’t. I trust they client code. I don’t trust ANYONES server side code. Their encryption is top of the line and an industry standard. But is DOES NOT hide your IP, the time of the day you send messages

    ONCE AGAIN (this is the third time I’m saying this) I like and recommend signal. I have no evil motives nor I’m trying to be paranoid. But let’s not pretend they are perfect.

    If you are hurt because I said mean things about a company you base your personality on, that is not my problem.


  • Since they are not required to publish these they could be publishing only the ones that make them look good. You might also notice that they haven’t published any for over a year. I know how siglan works and I trust the client and the security. I even recommend it. But let’s not pretend they are INCAPABLE of building your social graph
