How to make Whatsapp suffer: "copy image to clipboard" "paste" into whatsapp compose area. See how it freezes, unfreezes, and is trying to cope as it pasts the fricking binary data into the compose field, tries to convert it into text and then just krashes.
I should have taken a picture of the compose field. đ
I wonder how Signal handles this. đ€
Die Anmeldung bei #Matrix als #Fediverse #Messenger und Alternative zu #WhatApp und Co war wirklich leicht. Jetzt brauche ich nur noch Menschen, die mit mir dort chatten ;-)
Vielen Dank fĂŒr die Einsteiger-Tipps hier insbesondere von @crossgolf_rebel @aiquez @ravage und @wuethrich
Ein Ex-Sicherheitschef packt aus: Millionen Daten angeblich ungeschĂŒtzt, wĂ€hrend Meta weiter Wachstum ĂŒber Schutz stellt.

For those who don't know the size of the problem:
In 2006 I bought a new [entry level] Computer with 256 MB of RAM and a single-core P4 Celeron with 2,8 GHz.
This thing ran #WindowsXP and #NeedForSpeedMostWanted just fine.
Nowadays it would crash trying to open #Slack even on a minimalist #Linux distro like @bunsenlabs in @dillo, a lightweight browser ...
And now imagine that some folks have to use #Slack, #MicrosoftTeams, #Telegram, #Signal, #WhatApp, #WeChat, #QQ and #LineMessenger at the same time on their machine, and you can imagine that this will make entry-level desktops already scream harder than if someone were to loop the Lost Coast benchmark on them...
Everywhere else we'd not accept such a #bloatware IRL.
One thing that really pisses me off personally is the #regression in terms of #Messenger #Apps. My personal distaste and dislike for #proprietary, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider #services like #Signal [Âč](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114234551915193036) [ÂČ](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114935952643402592), #Telegram, #Discord [Âł](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114865723904157014) [âŽ](https://social.treehouse.systems/@krutonium/115157611977216372), #WhatsApp [â”](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114873895410403238), #Slack, #MicrosoftTeams, #discord [â¶](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/116063760849048926)[â·](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/115736223551632209) etc. aside: - *WHY* is there no #CrossProvider #Messenger to handle that shite? - *WHY* does everyone of these shitty providers think people want to download their #bloated #WebApp that takes up triple digit Megabytes if not entire Gigabytes and will gobble up all the #RAM and #CPU each of them can?? This problem ain't new and *already got [solved for corporate social media](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114862619013462466) ages ago!* (Not to mention actually good messengers!) - And no, [bridges](https://toots.ch/@dalai/114862754556459439) *[don't](https://swecyb.com/@troed/114862774972645542) count*! - I mean `API 0` - [style](https://digipres.club/@foone/112685423773959519) access because obviously [none of the platforms](https://digipres.club/@foone/112685414638522984) will *allow, endorse or support such an endeavour* and [*actively fight the developers and users*](https://digipres.club/@foone/112685441496803574) ! So yeah, consider this a call for a @[email protected] / #Gajim or @[email protected] / #Pidgin *for garbage platforms!* - Cuz back in the day we had *way worse messengers* yet people actually made #AIM, #ICQ, #MSN, #QQ, #IRC & #XMPP work just fine from one single *"phat" client*! - Can we please get that back? Cuz #WastefulComputing pisses me off! #api0 #Enshittification

You can be ordered, by the courts and the government, to pretend to be super secret and private with no authority or liberty to warn people you're spying on them.
Jurisdiction matters.
You want a provider that is outside the jurisdiction of the United States, Russia, and China.
Signal and WhatsApp should not be trusted, and anyone who argues otherwise is a fool and likely stuck with a cult of personality, while simping for a corporation.
« des Ă©tudiant·es en troisiĂšme annĂ©e de licence dâhistoire Ă lâuniversitĂ© dâAix-Marseille ont dĂ©versĂ© leur haine dans la conversation WhatsApp officielle de leur promotion »
ça n'est pas le sujet de l'article, important, mais mes collÚgues me désespÚrent à accepter l'idée que pour accéder à des contenus et discussions pédagogiques, il faut utiliser #WhatApp (ou Discord). Aucune conscience des enjeux.
Une dizaine dâĂ©tudiants en licence dâhistoire Ă lâuniversitĂ© Aix-Marseille ont Ă©tĂ© convoquĂ©s en conseil de discipline, aprĂšs avoir envoyĂ© des messages Ă caractĂšre raciste Ă leurs camarades. Le point culminant, selon des Ă©lĂšves et des professeurs, dâun climat nausĂ©abond oĂč les discours d'extrĂȘme droite circulent librement.
De Gemeente Westland heeft bezwaar ingediend bij Meta tegen het gebruik van gegevens t.b.v. AI-training. Volgt Delft dit voorbeeld? https://www.binnenlandsbestuur.nl/digitaal/gemeenten-willen-niet-dat-meta-ai-traint-met-hun-data
Vanaf 27 mei 2025 gaat Meta, het moederbedrijf van Facebook, Instagram en WhatsApp, haar AI-systemen trainen met openbare informatie en fotoâs die gebruikers op Facebook en Instagram hebben geplaatst. Daaronder vallen ook alle posts op gemeentepaginaâs, openbare reacties van inwoners en antwoorden van het webcareteam van de gemeente. De gemeente Westland maakte bezwaar en roept andere gemeenten op om hetzelfde te doen.
