I’ve tried Signal, Session, Matrix and SimpleX and the most convenient one is Signal. Some will refuse to switch, some, the closest people to you, will agree but probably just for you, unless they see an interest in signal themselves

For WhatsApp users: I’m saying that they leak all the contacts to Meta/Facebook and use it for advertising and tracking, + sending to the US gov because we all know they share data

For discord users: they’re a bit known for not deleting things, and backed by Tencent (if I recall correctly) they could have a reason to start using messages for advertising or similar. They’re already using game activity data to push ads (or quests as they’re called). Based in the US so also probably leaks to the gov.

But most importantantly: I just ask if they’re really to have all their messages, and especially their private messages leaked to the public in case they get hacked. Including all images sent in PMs, and having those analyzed by some other companies as well (often for CP, but still, I’m not really ok with that). Some will say that they’re not, in this case alright, go switch to Signal! Some will say they are okay with it, and tbh they’re probably lying or underestimating the risks and the impact.

Discord is alright, but please, or all sensitive messages, please switch to an encrypted messenger.

I wish it had tenor instead. Giphy seems to really lack content, I never find what I’m searching for

I hate matrix because it’s hard to use and understand, and also most client collect a shit ton of data, which goes against all the privacy benefits

Not everyone plays league of legends 😂

😵 some people just don’t care

It’s their job though, not their personal life, so they might care less

I imagine you keep your password manager unlocked, or as not requiring 2FA on trusted devices then? Re entering 2FA each session is annoying

You still have the treat of viruses or similar. If someone gets access on your device while the password manager is unlocked (ex: some trojan on your computer), you’re completely cooked. If anything it makes it worse than not having 2FA at all.

If you can access your password manager without using 2FA on your phone and have the built in phone biometrics to open it like phone pin, finger or face, someone stealing your phone can do some damage. (Well, the same stands for a regular 2FA app, but meh, I just don’t see an improvement)

I have never understood the goal of passkeys. Skipping 2FA seems like a security issue and storing passkeys in my password manager is like storing 2FA keys on it: the whole point is that I should check on 2 devices, and my phone is probably the most secure of them all.

What?

I didn’t get it 🤔

That’s… pretty funny actually x)

Sorry for u my dude

I would not call an OS where you can’t really start any “big” app a success. If you can’t do anything with it, what’s the point?

You can’t really degoogle a phone without sacrificing a lot of things. Most “degoogled” phones just use a compatibility layer that still gives google loads of infos

I would much rather have neither of Apple or google, but having to chose, I prefer Apple, at least they’re not on every website I visit

Btw you can “deapple” by jailbreaking but it becomes a huge pain, as degoogling is

Finding a good phone with good specs, a good OS that is elegant and doesn’t track you at an acceptable price with all the features just isn’t possible

But you still sadly have google services everywhere, popping up here and there, reminding you that they have control over apps

No, I don’t want to login with google or rate the app

Most matrix clients just collect loads of data, so meh

They’re supposed to be hashed so that shouldn’t matter

Unless that’s the joke or something

I’ve already paid a lot of legal things and donated a lot with crypto. It’s pretty much the only way to pay online without giving away your personal info

At KFC they’re in a red plastic box of the same format. Can’t buy them cuz of reusable packaging laws in France, but that’s what I thought first when I saw this emoji

Yup it’s pretty good, although I would’ve liked it better if they provided a good way to export the data to another app

Yea, I mean the vote to renew chat control 1.0

Isn’t it to vote to renew chat control 1.0?

Isn’t that the vote for chat control 1.0?
