Hoping that accrescent starts seeing some more activity

Tangentally related, FUTO put a bad taste in my mouth when they were harassing the graphene os team https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/113443396794247106

You can also set up MollySockets for notifications via unified push!

How does rmk compare with qmk?

I agree with your points. I’d much rather a decentralized solution would pop up that would be easy to onboard “normies”.

As outlined in this mastodon thread, you can see a few pain points mentioned, a solution offered, but then there’s a glitch in fluffy chat that doesn’t allow for uName/PW sign up.

Decentralized alternatives are great in theory, but in order to gain the critical mass of users needed for a successful migration, there needs to be a happy middle that results in better/easier UX. Mastodon is much more fleshed out than matrix in this regard IMO as you don’t need to deal with key mgmt, yet you still see users migrating to a less mature platform, Bluesky.

Dessalines also has a good write up on a few of the other alternatives here. https://dessalines.github.io/essays/why_not_signal.html#abandonment-of-open-source

Matrix, however, also exposes metadata that can be used to link who is talking to who

GNUNet seems promising

The only instance of being hostile to a 3rd party developer was when they used their name (a trademark) open signal I think it was?

MollyIm has been alive and well for years. Are there other instances I’m missing?

Other than that, yes signal is definitely better than WhatsApp with the amount of data they collect.

Does deleting old accounts really do much? Once you do something online, you should assume it’s there even if you delete it.

Best you can do is adopt a more privacy conscious way to go about things and just let your old footprint go stale

I mean the FOSS community does exist

I’m also unable to pay for accubattery as I don’t have play store installed

Finally. Some apps lock dark mode behind a paywall. Should be illegal

I’m looking at you, accubattery.

Onprem has always been cheaper. Cloud compute was the most successful marketing campaign I can think of.

When did they claim to be an expert??

Man this account consistently reposts hot posts from the Lemmy.world programmer_humor. Starting to get very repetitive and annoying

Edgecase no camera perms:

I skimmed the article, but didn’t see any proof that there was a decision made at Mozilla due to her prior activism. Was this just a frivolous lawsuit or am I missing something?

The VPN doesnt leak my ISP dns. But yes I do have block all connections without VPN enabled.

The DNS leaks through when I set settings in the “static” internet settings on the main profile.

My setup is a wireguard VPN on my personal network, which utilizes locally hosted adguard and pihole servers. I check for leaks at https://www.dnscheck.tools/

Yep still seeing At&t leak through. Only see this on my pixel, not any of my computers or tablets

Funny, I only notice dns leaks in the per SSID DNS settings. I have to be connected to wireguard so that my DNS server stays my adguard server (hosted on my local net) otherwise my ISP DNS leaks.
