Mamdani isn’t born in the US

They use GPU based enclaves. They have a white paper available. I just seemed it but they mention AMD and NVIDIA enclaves.

They can’t get your username from your phone number (but they can b’get your phone number from your username)

AFAIK it’s just a webapp.

Signal also has been a leader when it comes to encryption and metadata protection. Their cryptographic protocols are public domain and are the gold standard for private messaging from pretty much every perspective other than decentralisation. (it’s still centralised)

Signal is American but run by a non profit so it can’t be sold and is open source under GPL3 without a CLA from what I can see so it’s unlikely they would ever go closed source.

Collaborator instead of employee. That’s a usage that has spread through every company in French. It’s infuriating how it.she just plain lying.

These platforms have incentives to keep you on the platform. So their recommendation algos will purposefully down rank stuff that tries to convert to elsewhere.

She has set up her own website. She has been exploring alternatives for years, she is on Mastodon, Peertube etc…

You’re having a meltdown because an artist is sharing whats’s happening in her life. Guess what, tons of people love that. You’re insulting someone you don’t now shit about because shares update on her work situation… With the people that pay for her work?

You’re the one that needs to touch grass.

Indeed. She doesn’t talk about alternatives in this video, she hasn’t made other videos talking about alternatives, hasn’t setup her own website etc…

I’m not sure how she could pay her bills of she didn’t have advice from randos on the internet…

She’s not going to prison. Just electronic bracelet. And that’s assuming appeals don’t work.

Car dealerships are fair game I don’t care what happens to cars there. But an individual’s car, I wouldn’t go beyond leaving notes on the windshield, otherwise you’re just making people angry for no good reason. Before 2020 a lot of people may have bought a Tesla and while Musk was always fishy, at the time it wasn’t any worse than most other car companies. And not everyone can “just sell” their cars. Cybertrucks though… These are actively dangerous and disabling them is a matter of public safety 😝

Does portal 2 coop count? Technically it’s a FPS

Maybe she’s just american and being impolite

Since we cannot verify the software they run on the server is the software that is open source then we must assume it is not.

But that’s like, the case for pretty much every messenger out there, outside of self-hosting, which will not be done by 99.99% of the general population.

This comparison makes some questionnable choices. It puts the presence of a web client as green, when actually this breaks the thread model of end-to-end encryption.

they don’t want to do anything about federation or messenger intercompatibility.

Their reasoning is that they only trust themself to keep the meta data safe and so need you.

That’s not their reasoning. Their reasoning is that it’s much harder to evolve the protocol in a decentralized context than a centralized one. It’s not that they only trust themselves with your metadata, it’s that they can improve the protocol much faster in order to get rid of most metadata.

They have been able to deploy a ton of protocol updates with regards to minimizing the amount of metadata anyone has access to (including them), while other decentralized alternatives have essentially been stuck in limbo for a while:

• Secure Value recovery
• Groups V2
• Sealed sender
• Usernames
• Post quantum resistance

On the other hand, Matrix, XMPP and email are very leaky with regards to metadata. I’m not going into email because that’s pretty documented, but here it is for matrix:

• Message reactions are not encrypted
• Group membership are not encrypted (which lead to attacks)
• Profile pic and Name are public (visible by everyone even people with whom you don’t have any contact)
