In spirit

Specifically the annoyingly loud, self-righteous, insists-everyone-must-join-them vegans. Unfortunately, most people only really see this sort of vegan

On this note, I'd like to point to the Loud Minority problem; You have XYZ group, and within XYZ group there exists a minority that comes across as very "loud". You can barely miss them, and because they state they're a part of XYZ group, you start associating that group with the loud minority.

Happens with Vegans a lot, and usually people which have already associated a group with a minority within said group which annoys them do not want to learn that they are wrong, or will just refuse to accept they are wrong.

the metadata still isn’t.

That doesn't quite work in the case of Signal

The only data that they have, based on transparency reports and dissections of their source code, is the time you created your account and last connected to the servers.

Messages themselves are essentially only relayed, with sealed sender, and anything that would be actually useful to identify who was at a protest and who wasn't encrypted.

Things like, e.g when messages arrive at the server would have to be monitored live on compromised servers, which reasonably unless you assume* it is wiretapped already prior to a protest, isn't realistic.

*: of course, I am saying this because making an assumption and portraying it as truth (e.g assuming something is already wiretapped based on no evidence at all) is not the smartest of moves when it comes to threat modeling...especially if you wanna stay sane whilst having a threat model

a TL;DR from my own interpretation:

• Dave (the person making the video) feels uncomfortable; 'even talking to my wife on the phone somehow feels stilted, remote, and disconnected'
• Dave talks about other reasons, like struggling to initiate or accept a phone call, that people with ASD might dislike phone calls
• Dave also struggles with figuring out who is supposed to be talking / whose turn it is, especially due to a lack of cues that can be used to identify that
• Another thing mentioned is how the fact that these cues are missing can also lead to misunderstandings. When someone asks a question and expects an immediate response (e.g "I think that..."), if you take a moment to reply the other end might think you disagree with them.
• He also talks about many cues that can imply different things explicitly, like volume, pitch or tone of voice, as well as pauses, pacing or changes in intonation.

Edit: whoops I left a bulletpoint dangling there

I've just installed it, and it runs just fine on my PC

As per the source code, that was probably from here given that is where the source code for this Linux port lives.

Counterstrike is the easiest example

Counterstrike, where the Official Anti-Cheat is VAC; An Anti-Cheat system that isn't Kernel-Level?

I run Ryujinx already, more accurate anyways :)

At this point its not just "vote with your wallets" because they have like a 8B+ global turnover

Me not giving them 60 bucks does nothing, even the entire Fediverse not giving them 60 bucks would do nothing.

Though, them thwarting game preservation efforts on the basis of shitty DRM? Thats what I'd like to see fought.

They are technically not wrong when they say that the whole experience isn't made up of just an App

They are intentionally dodging the ACTUAL question.

Anyways here is a leak of their "LAM", which is just playwright for the most part. https://web.archive.org/web/20240424133441if_/https://pixeldrain.com/api/file/vYHXbUwP?download

With that, we have both components, yay?

The title is a bit misleading, the badge says affiliated, not made

approximately 9 months, sometime in summer of last year

have they paid 2.4 million? Last time someone with supposedly that much funding got fucked over by Nintendo they have been sent to jail, and once they came out had to basically pay rent to nintendo for the rest of time.

The reason we didn't hear anything of that, if I had to guess, is probably an NDA.

oh, thank you!

We really need someone with budget to take Nintendo to court over this.

Sadly, I don't think that will happen.

discord and messenger are pretty bad when it comes to privacy, neither even bother end-to-end-encrypting calls.

Signal really is the best choice, but due to the phone number registration requirement, unless you're fine with the one-time purchase of some prepaid SIMs or something, that might get a bit annoying.

SimpleX is decent enough with calls for now (when they work), but connection times can be abysmal

This is where I would jump to Matrix / Element, but Element is currently in the middle of re-making their mobile Apps, including the entire calling feature 🥴

Probably the only downside with this is the fact that it can take quite some time for the call to actually connect

I mean, in the context of anonymity that is very good due to it's design, but maybe not perfect for this usecase

My copy of Breezy Weather has Precipation Notifications 🤔

Generally, the best you can do is search.

SearXNG was useful once more, and I expected Sony devices to support VoLTE anyways as they've been doing that for years.

well, not if you want a UI that's designed around threads like Lemmy or Kbin does 🤔

I'm curious about all the people in this thread saying regarding phone numbers considering I do have an account that's just an email alias and thats it 🤔
