Version 0.1.3 of twonly, the European Snapchat alternative, was released 🎉.

New: Video stabilization and crop/rotate images before sending.

Improved: Better visibility of the verification badge. Verify your contacts to prevent something like SignalGate.

And of course many issues got fixed.

#e2ee #privacy #snapchat

It is useful to keep in mind there can never be any kind of actual end-to-end encryption (#E2EE).

Your understanding of "end" is probably deliberately ignorant.

While you understandably so wish to believe the "end" was in the respective minds of the conversation partners, it is factually and technically located in the hardware and software of the devices used.

Which opens up a myriad of surveillance options, from sinister keyloggers; to simply glancing at your screens; to "AI" "assistants" "summarizing" what you're receiving, and allegedly just "fleshing out" what you're sending.

Even if conversation data was transmitted, "end-to-end encrypted", between brain implants, the producers or vendors of such implants would still happily provide backdoors for "law enforcement".

#WasFehlt: #IrDA, insbesondere #Gigabit-IR (optional per #TosLink kabelgebunden) um große Dateien flink zwischen Geräten zu transportieren und das deutlich sicherer.

• Idealerweise mit ner Selbst-authentifizierendem Adressraum (vgl. #Tor .onion) statt #MAC / #EUI64
  • sauberer #E2EE (RSA-8192 + AES-256)
• Punkt zu Mehrpunkt - Transfers (Broadcasting)
  • Replayability!
• Flexibler Frequenzen
  • IR (940nm, 850nm 780nm)
  • Sichtbares Licht (650nm, 550nm, 450nm)
  • UV (405nm)

Passend zum #did: "Tech-Konzerne denken nicht an einen sofortigen Stopp ihrer Überwachungsmaßnahmen. Google, Meta, Microsoft und die Snapchat-Mutter Snap kündigten am Samstag in einer gemeinsamen Erklärung an, dass sie „weiterhin freiwillige Maßnahmen ergreifen werden“, um entsprechendes Material auf ihren Plattformen zu identifizieren."

#Privacy #E2EE

Today is again #did digital indipendence day.

Perfect opportunity to find a #europeanalternative to #googlephotos or #icloud and migrate your data somewhere safe.

We personally would never settle for something less than #e2ee, full native apps on android/ios and easy sharing with friends/family in original quality.

That's why we built #zeitkapsl.

When a CEO of a encrypted messaging app does this, after having vulnerabilities verified by trail of bits, run in the other direction:

'told 404 Media in a LinkedIn direct message: “The information is incorrect! The person who gave you the technical information has completely misled you. That person is not competent!”'

A Secure #Chat App’s #Encryption Is So Bad It Is ‘Meaningless’

TeleGuard, an app that markets itself as a secure, end-to-end encrypted messaging platform …implements its encryption so poorly that an attacker can trivially access a user’s private key & decrypt their messages,…#TeleGuard also uploads users’ private keys to a company server, … could decrypt its users’ messages, & the key can also at least partially be derived from simply intercepting a user’s traffic
