  • Good point. The author argues that:

    they buy the device on your behalf so your real name never gets attached to it.

    However it is relatively easy to attribute a sim card to person simply based on its usage. You also leave the same movement patterns on the mobile network. I don't see a benefit here compared to just using a sim card from a service provider that does not sell their customer data.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • Hopefully the court was clever enought to specify that the side loading must not be more difficult than installing via the store. Apple will for sure make it as complicated and user hostile as possible so they fulfill the ruling without having any practical impact.

  • Kudos to Niccolò for openly speaking about his mistake of incorrectly stating his video was not sponsored. However I think he made a second mistake which is more serve. As a content creator he must pay more attention to what companies he's accepting sponsorship from. Given the track record of malibal, this should have been a red flag in the first place.

  • lass die besser vom Profi (Zahnarzt) machen. Das Material sollte zugelassen sein (sprich gesundheitlich unbedenklich) für den Anwendungszweck. Das ist ein Bereich, der von Do-it-yourself nicht abgedeckt wird.

  • Signal forks can have unexpected behaviours like retaining deleted messages and also they don’t get updated at the same rate that Signal get updated.

    There are ways to save messages before they are deleted even if the stock app is used. Do not ever rely on this feature to work in a "safe" way.

    Every couple of years I hear a story about hackers disturbing signal with backdoors, which would be impossible or very hard to be done If they blocked third party clients. (Ex: 1)

    That is a problem the users who prefer 3rd party clients have to deal with. Obviously if you care enough to not use the official build, you of cause have to take care of using a trustworthy source. That is not "your problem" though.

    The amount of people who use third party Signal clients are very few anyway.

    That sounds a lot like "I don't use it, so none else needs it either" argument. In my opinion, none of your arguments above are a good reason to combat 3rd party clients.

  • Not in all situations. And in a way a user will not be aware of. The service or website can define what type of passkey is allowed (based in attestation). You may not be able to acutally use your "movable" keys because someone else decided so. You will not notice this until you actually face such a service. And when that happens, you can be sure that the average user will not understand what ia going on. Not all passkeys are equal, but that fact is hidden from the user.

  • Here a a few things that I miss from OsmAnd:

    • adding more than a handful of routing points is tedious
    • you cannot plan partially or fully independent from existing roads
    • no way to save and restore a planned trip
    • no overlays for hill shading or incline visualization. Very useful for assessing the effort of a route.
    • no public transport support. Very useful for planning a trip with transitions.
    • no rain radar
    • satellite view
  • Fahrrad @feddit.de
