  • Signal downloads spike in the US and Yemen amid government scandal | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • Bad actors are sowing distrust by implying that Signal is not secure. Always remember that the powers that be don't want the public to have encrypted comms and would love to ban private messaging apps altogether. I could also be completely wrong and Signal is in fact a fed honeypot...

    The code is open-source though, and I'm hoping that individuals more learned than I would surely alert us if there were any backdoors/exploits...

  • Tanks and fighter jets are becoming less relevant. The war in Ukraine underlines how drones are changing everything. They're cheaper to manufacture (or buy/retrofit) and just about everybody can make or reverse-engineer them.

    The barrier to entry is so low in fact that I worry about the day when terrorist groups begin to deploy them in major cities.

    Windows doesn't "just work"

  • Windows bloat sucks. I wish Microsoft gave you the option to just install the components/features you're likely to use. That way you could have an agile, minimal custom installation like you do in Arch.

  • Like many others, I’ve been looking into internet browsers lately. This guy has put together a pretty extensive comparison: pctips.com/best-browsers

  • Good article. I use Brave on desktop and android. I like that the adblocking is baked in. I still have to add my favourite addons but that's the beauty of personalization.

    Quick question: is the Tor browsing functionality in Brave adequate or should I just stick to the official Tor browser in that regard?

  • Is there a FOSS In Case of Emergency (ICE) app?

    Jump

  • Most phones allow you to make emergency calls from from the lockscreen. I wouldn't bother with an app if my xiaomi phone allowed me to have text info on the lockscreen. Not just medical info but also "if found pls contact - "

  • I used to do this but I'd prefer to have medical aid details, blood type and contacts accessible from lock screen.

  • I love options but does anybody else wish devs would put their heads together and focus on improving ONE app rather than launch a millon similar forks?

  • Really liking Vivaldi so far. The baked in adblocking and encrypted syncing is neat. Everybody also always recommends Brave as "good out of the box" where you can use it straight away without any tinkering...

  • The official chat room for a privacy community is discord?

    Jump

  • Revolt is supposed to be a privacy-focused alternative to Discord. Haven't used it myself. Is it promising? Will it ever gain traction?

  • Revolt chat has moved E2E encryption from side quests to planned future updates

  • What alternative do you recommend?
