Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

Signal Private Messenger is free open source, works on everything. Your grandma could use this.

I have slowly migrated all of my friends and family to this over the last few years.

All of the big ‘encrypted’ messengers like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger use the Signal Protocol under the hood but insert their own shady business and tracking defeating a lot of the purpose.

There are other perhaps more anonymous options like SimpleX or XMRchat but they are not practical nor needed for most threat models.

Matrix is not quite mature enough but is a better option than discord for gaming communities.

Signal everyday. I would not recommend Telegram. DYOR.

My APAP machine has a sim card and unless I am careful to not disable airplane mode every time I start it up, it will send all of my health data to company that I have signed no agreement with.

I explicitly declined to agree to the privacy policy of the company that sold it to me.

If I find my data in a breach, lawyers will be involved.

For anyone struggling to parse the graph as I was: look at the red bars below the photos. The photos are irrelevant from the data.

That’s how aether works kind of.

It’s P2P/decentralised rather than federated.

Anyone can make a community. With enough participation in a community one can become a mod. Mods can be impeached by vote of active participants.

Anyone can see nod actions and anyone can decide to disable the actions of any mod.

I love the system, I was active there before moving to Lemmy. I wish it had taken off/absorbed some of the Reddit fallout rather than Lemmy.

AFAIK it is not maintained or at least updated much less frequently than Lemmy/ActivityPub.

Help someone out of the loop!

I have only been following Monero stuff loosely for a few years. i remever some controversy where there was at least 2 forks of Hevano claiming to be the original.

What was the controversy and resolution there?

Epstein his own life

I’ve been really satisfied with Alterna in Ontario for the last decade.

I need to find a way to tell Wayland to launch the ereader part of calibre flipped 90° so that I can use my SteamDeck as a tablet for book reading.

I got back to Grim Dawn all the time.

I’m excited for Fangs of Asterkarn!

Wasn’t he found legally innocent in the end?

We need a digital seed library with the crispr ready DNA of various seeds for pirates (humans that need to eat) to archive.

Mine is registered to my VoIP number. Never had any issues. No sim required.

Some PeerTube instances should allow federation over here. Just tag the appropriate Lenny community.

Hmmm, I’m hoping the HDR flag fixes HDR in Kingdom Hearts 3 on the OLED SteamDeck.

I’ll test tonight.

Nexus Mods is working on an AppImage version of their mod manager that works perfectly in my testing.

Currently it only supports Stardew Valley and Cyberpunk i think.

I’m excited for it to have parity with Windows Vortex.

Turn it into a cold crypto wallet by downloading a wallet app then pitting it in airplane mode indefinitely.

I won’t be voting for the Liberal party again unless they give us the electoral reform they promised us and didn’t deliver when they had a majority government.

I’m hopeful for a strong NDP opposition to a Conservative minority.

I sold my switch as soon as the original SD was announced. Just got my OLED in the mail and couldn’t be happier; easily the best console experience I’ve ever had.

It provides security to the network and gives them more power over the price.
