Facebook Gave Nebraska Cops A Teen's DMs So They Could Prosecute Her For Having An Abortion
  • This is a typical LeopardsAteMyFace moment. Democrats spent years to kill online privacy and to get tech giants to act like online cops.

    This abortion issue might finally convince the Democratic party about the value of privacy.

  • Amnesty International: Ukrainian fighting tactics endanger civilians
  • A few months ago it was a war crime to criticise Ukraine in any way. Now Amnesty publishes this. The tide is turning. It looks like inflation has scared West and they are about to betray and abandon Ukraine.

    Zelenskiy says no ceasefire without recovering land lost to Russia
  • Tanks are useless if you don't have air superiority. They will just get blown up. Same with artillery. You can't go on the offensive without controlling the skies.

    Ukraine's only real advantage is the Bayraktar drone.

    Der Weg für Getreideexporte über das Schwarze Meer ist wieder frei: Die Ukraine und Russland unterzeichneten entsprechende Abkommen in Istanbul - ohne sich zu begegnen. Denn die Gräben sind nach wie vor tief. Von Uwe Lueb.

    Sharing location with friends

    What app do you use or recommend for sharing you location with family and friends? Google Maps can do this, but I'm looking for a non-Google option. Something in the OpenStreetMaps space would be the best. Telegram can also do it, but Telegram's feature is more optimized for short-term sharing, not continuous sharing.

    Portable console producer GPD in talks with Valve about using SteamOS.
    www.gamingonlinux.com GPD talk about 'cooperating' with Valve for SteamOS on their devices

    GPD, the company behind many portable devices like the upcoming GPD WIN Max 2, made a claim about cooperating with Valve to get SteamOS working on their hardware.

    GPD talk about 'cooperating' with Valve for SteamOS on their devices

    It would be a huge win for Linux and open source if GPD ditches Windows.

    Matrix Network Hits 60 Million Users
  • We actually don't know what WhatsApp is doing. It's a closed source app, so there is nothing preventing Facebook from getting your keys and reading your chats. It just takes one national security letter to force them.

    Telegram wins because it's usable by non-techies. And has open source clients. And has a decent Linux client. It's preferable to chatting over Instagram.

  • Matrix Network Hits 60 Million Users
  • Of course it does. It just doesn't have E2E encryption by default (you can turn it on with secret chats). If the alternative is messaging on Instagram, Facebook Messenger or WhatzApp, then Telegram is superiour.

  • Matrix Network Hits 60 Million Users
  • I don't think Signal is much easier than Matrix. This is why I'm so excited about Telegram. Telegram's an easy to use and feature rich chat app that also has open source clients and decent Linux support. It's great for using with non-techie friends. Matrix is great for using with techie friends. Signal is somewhere in between, and doesn't really fullfill either role.

  • Element (Matrix) adds video chat rooms

    We're so excited to announce that Video Rooms is entering beta in Element, just as a new Room Search is exiting beta!

    news.itsfoss.com 'Matrix' Network Hits 60 Million Users, Improving the Demand for Decentralized Communication

    Matrix is an open-source standard for decentralized communication. It is constantly evolving to the requirements of modern solutions keeping in mind the privacy of users. You will find Matrix clients as a replacement for Slack, Microsoft Teams, and several other popular communication platforms....

    'Matrix' Network Hits 60 Million Users, Improving the Demand for Decentralized Communication

    Not sure why Signal gets all the attention when Matrix is much more successful at spreading open source messaging and is also decentralized.
