They use GPU based enclaves. They have a white paper available. I just seemed it but they mention AMD and NVIDIA enclaves.

They can’t get your username from your phone number (but they can b’get your phone number from your username)

AFAIK it’s just a webapp.

Unblock signal first?

Signal also has been a leader when it comes to encryption and metadata protection. Their cryptographic protocols are public domain and are the gold standard for private messaging from pretty much every perspective other than decentralisation. (it’s still centralised)

Signal is American but run by a non profit so it can’t be sold and is open source under GPL3 without a CLA from what I can see so it’s unlikely they would ever go closed source.

Organic maps (and now comaps) have a much better rendering engine. It’s much faster, while also being much more legible. It’s routing engine is also faster.

OsmAnd does have the upper hand when it wcomes to features though. I have both and use OsmaAnd when I need to export a route to GPX or see relief.

She served in the Israeli occupation forces. Would you watch a movie with a Russian actor who served in the military?

Most people? Unless said actor is actively militant in favour of Russia government, individuals are not responsible for their contry’s crimes.

But Gal Gadot actively militates in favour of Israel and it’s military.

Because I like freedom to park almost anywhere and outdoors. I also don’t like being a danger for everyone around me.

uBlock origin is not even available on chrome anymore.

They do. They don’t use it because these tools actually have archiving and transparency tools to allow investigating federal agency. All such discussions must be archived for that reason. They use Signal for the disappearing messages.

They never pushed it for anyone but themselves though. And they’re using it themselves to work around archiving and transparency regulations.

Does portal 2 coop count? Technically it’s a FPS

Maybe she’s just american and being impolite

Since we cannot verify the software they run on the server is the software that is open source then we must assume it is not.

But that’s like, the case for pretty much every messenger out there, outside of self-hosting, which will not be done by 99.99% of the general population.

This comparison makes some questionnable choices. It puts the presence of a web client as green, when actually this breaks the thread model of end-to-end encryption.

they don’t want to do anything about federation or messenger intercompatibility.

Their reasoning is that they only trust themself to keep the meta data safe and so need you.

That’s not their reasoning. Their reasoning is that it’s much harder to evolve the protocol in a decentralized context than a centralized one. It’s not that they only trust themselves with your metadata, it’s that they can improve the protocol much faster in order to get rid of most metadata.

They have been able to deploy a ton of protocol updates with regards to minimizing the amount of metadata anyone has access to (including them), while other decentralized alternatives have essentially been stuck in limbo for a while:

• Secure Value recovery
• Groups V2
• Sealed sender
• Usernames
• Post quantum resistance

On the other hand, Matrix, XMPP and email are very leaky with regards to metadata. I’m not going into email because that’s pretty documented, but here it is for matrix:

• Message reactions are not encrypted
• Group membership are not encrypted (which lead to attacks)
• Profile pic and Name are public (visible by everyone even people with whom you don’t have any contact)

It’s a joint project between many organisations, primarly KDE and Gnome. In practice right now it’s legally hosted by Gnome and they’re trying to make flathub into its own organisation.

YAML 1.2 is a superset of JSON. Every valid JSON is valid YAML 1.2
