Technology@lemmy.world•Signal warns it would pull out of Canada if made to comply with lawful access billEnglish
614·2 months agoMaybe we should be looking at the larger picture here this is exactly why Signal or any other privately owned centralized messaging system can never be trusted. Stop using Signal or WhatsApp.
Look at alternatives like Matrix that are immune to this sort of thing.

Android@lemmy.world•Google is requiring mandatory developer verification for all Android apps in 2026English
4·4 months agoI was a windows phone user and the last Windows version is to blame for killing their phones. They released a half baked platform that literally required SOAP for all network traffic. No raw TCP or UDP access just SOAP… a horrible standard based on XML with like 10x the overhead. 6.1 was probably the best but even that was plagued by compatibility issues.

Technology@lemmy.world•Your Pixel can now double up as a full Android PC with nothing more than a USB-C cableEnglish
1·4 months agoThe truth is most pixel devices had the ability to do this but google kneecapped their pixel devices to push chromecast.

Technology@lemmy.world•What Ever Happened to MSN Messenger?English
10·2 years agoSupport matrix!! It already has international support, just needs to be a bit better with stickers and qol stuff. I’ve been using it for years. It’s nice to know I don’t have to worry about my privacy at all with chat rooms that can continue on without the original server.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Signal has been blocked by Venezuela and Russia
4·2 years agoIt doesn’t matter if it is a business entity operating under a government then you can never really know because gag orders. Centralized servers can be blocked. Telegram and Signal apps could have a back door. This is why open stack is important. And not just the code. Also encryption is default for p2p one on one conversations. It’s not in channels by default because it can complicate public use.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Signal has been blocked by Venezuela and Russia
2·2 years agoYeah the main thing is that the ports and addresses can change and it’s nbd. From a firewall perspective, it’s impossible to block them all. Especially when the clients are doing mundane https requests. Even if the server goes down or partial connectivity, the channel can still be used.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Signal has been blocked by Venezuela and Russia
123·2 years agoIt cannot be easily blocked especially if you use your own homeserver every homeserver replicates the channel and it can operate without the original server! That’s why signal and telegram are inherently flawed.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Signal has been blocked by Venezuela and Russia
27·2 years agoI can answer this! All matrix calls are over https APIs. Ports and addresses are stored in a text file on the base domain or in DNS txt entry.

Android@lemmy.world•Nothing sells 100,000 CMF Phone 1 units in three hoursEnglish
6·2 years agoNothing phone is such a fucking joke there are 0 replacement parts available. I broke my camera a few weeks after I got my nothing phone 2 and your only option is to ship the phone to the UK. The advertise as consumer friendly but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
Most of the time my desktop is covered, so I use folders on the toolbar

Technology@lemmy.world•BitTorrent is No Longer the ‘King’ of Upstream Internet TrafficEnglish
16·2 years agoTruthfully BT is about to explode with DHT once bitmagnet implements indexing it will be game over. You can just point it at a folder with your files and every torrent that ever contained that file will be seeded automatically no matter what folder or name it has. Everyone has gig connections now.

Technology@lemmy.world•Finland detects more GPS jammers as drivers increasingly try to hide their tracks | Yle News | YleEnglish
372·2 years agoI would use one for privacy but there would be black vans following me around and probably land a felony. It is really easy to track these things. All they have to do is look for big blob of gps unavailable bubble moving around and they can also triangulate the signal with fairly cheap tools. Jamming is just spamming noise after all.

So annoying that technology is so much more expensive these days. My steam deck is getting old and still appreciating in value its not how this is supposed to work. Like what the fuck. I am really fucking pissed. My old laptop from 2022 has 64GB of ram. I shouldn’t have to beg for more than 16GB of ram. Glad I built my server before all this nonsense started my $400 memory kit now retails for $4000. AI is complete fucking bullshit. It can’t be trusted at all. Every single google has wrong answers. Can’t even find legitimate websites anymore. We are so fucked. LLMs aren’t good and they never will be. Like yeah they can be useful but everyone is using them the wrong way. I started poisoning my reddit posts out of spite. Fuck them all. Ugggghhhhhhhhhhhh
