Chat Apps, Government Ties, and Transparency – Threema
  • I'm not forcing you to believe anything. Also this is a free platform where I can say what I think. I won't hold myself back from expressing my view only because the majority has a different opinikn (looking at the downvotes). I personally just wouldn't trust it. And it also doesn't have any difference to Whatsapp and co. (encryprion algos are the same) which completely removes the purpose of it even existing (ik open source is still an argument. But they don't have reproducable builds so even that falls apart) so there really isn't any reason for me to switch to it or promote it to anybody at all.

  • Chat Apps, Government Ties, and Transparency – Threema
    1. The Encryption algorithm of Signal is basically the same algorithms proposed by the US gov in 2000. There is no way they would release these encryption algorithms if they couldn't break them themsleves
    2. If you would see which organisations are supporting Signal (look at where Signal gets all the money), you would also agree with me. There is no way these organasations are supporting them for your privacy. Why would they? The same people who are trying their best to get all your data. Believing this is just pure naivity imo but call me what you want
  • What is the cost of privacy?
  • Telegram just exposed Signal to not be secure at all. So I don't think going from Whatsapp to Signal makes any difference at all. They have the same encryption algorithms proposed by the US in the year 2000.

  • you can select "subscribed" so you only see the lemmy communities you are subscribed to.

    I personally looked at the top 1000 posts from the "all" feed. And subscribed to all communities which im even slightly interested in (i can unsubscribe later if i decide otherwise). So now I can see all relevant posts to me on my "subscribed" feed.

    I'm also planning to go through this process every few months or so to discover new communities which didn't exist before.

  • Bitwarden will be switching to native apps for both Android and iOS
  • yeah, it displays native widgets but there is still a js engine (browser) running in the background. So the basically made a layer between native components and Javascript. But the code which is running is js and js is slow.

  • Hell- oder Dunkelmodus?
  • Wir haben da glaub echt sehr unterschiedliche Meinungen.. Ich persönlich kann den Hell Modus gar nicht mehr aushalten. Benutze sogar den "Dark Reader" Addon im Browser damit ich von weißen Webseiten nicht "geflashbanged" werde.

    Dazu hab ich auch immer flux auf dem höchsen Level laufen (slider ganz links). Für dich scheint das echt der Horror zu sein haha aber bei mir geht es ohne fast gar nicht mehr.

    Dank diesem Setup und einem LCD Monitor (kein PWM) habe ich nur noch sehr sehr selten Kopfschmerzen. Und die wenigen die ich noch habe sind wahrscheinlich wegen anderen Gründen (Essen, Vitamine, etc) und nicht wegen dem PC oder (dem) Monitor. Auch wenn ich mal 15 Stunden durchgehend am Computer hocke, bekomme ich jetzt gar keine Kopfschmerzen mehr.

    Highly recommended

  • New Architecture Design Proposal for Lemmy

    Hey Lemmy community!

    Hope you're all doing well. As some of you might know, I've been diving into Computer Science at the Technical University of Munich. Lately, I've been really getting into the whole 'decentralization' vibe, and it got me thinking about Lemmy. So, here’s my take on how we might be able to tweak things. Would love to hear your thoughts!

    Storage: Let's talk data. I'm thinking decentralized storage – could be IPFS, could be something else. The main idea? Every comment, every post, we store it there. Now, I'm a little on the fence about pictures, but that's something we can circle back to.

    Moderation: While we're all for storing data, we probably shouldn’t dump everything on the user, right? What if we had a local database that could filter what goes out and what stays in the shadows? A simple mechanism, like post/comment ID to True/False, could let us curate what folks see, making Lemmy's experience unique for every instance. Instances could also open source these databases to have full transparency with users on what is getting blocked.

    Speed: Here's the catch – decentralized storage can sometimes feel like a snail race. So how about integrating something like Redis? It'd act like a speed booster, ensuring we aren't always reaching out to the vast decentralized storage and giving users a snappier experience.

    Obstacles & Possible Solutions:

    Data Deletion: We want our storage sleek, not bloated. How about a voting system? If a bunch of verified servers (like 20 of them with a 90% agreement rate) think a post isn't up to snuff, it's out.

    Spam: The decentralized world is fantastic, but spam can be a pain. The voting system might help, but we might have to look for other solutions on this regard.

    This is my rough sketch on what Lemmy's architecture could evolve into – a blend of decentralization with a solid user experience. But hey, this isn’t a monologue. Let’s turn it into a conversation. Eager to hear your insights and suggestions!

    Alte reddit posts als lemmy instance

    Wäre es nicht sinnvoll alle Reddit communities und posts, die jemals existiert haben in einer lemmy Instanz freizugeben? Damit hätten wir alle Informationen, auf die wir jetzt fast nicht mehr zugreifen können wieder da. Es könnte eine "read only" Instanz werden, damit alte Reddit User nicht verwechselt werden. Damit könnten wir von allen lemmy Instanzen auf alte reddit posts zugreifen und reagieren. Soweit ich weiß sollten es auch keine Copyright Probleme oder so geben. Was denkt ihr dazu? Wäre das möglich?
