irelephant [he/him]Proton is vibe coding some of it's apps.
galoisghostUm, it’s a public repository. You can view the code that’s been added. Even if it IS AI generated, you can review it yourself.
I’m as anti-AI as anyone but this is misplaced AI-alarmism.
James R KirkProbably anti-Proton. I’m no conspiracy theorist, but the amount of pro BlueSky, anti Proton, anti Signal people I see on Lemmy make me wonder sometimes.
sunzu2Proton CEO did it to the company...
Signal requires a phone number... If you don't see an issue with that... Then you live in a better place than the rest of us. I am happy for you.
BroadfernSignal is the sad compromise for the people I hold dearest because I refuse to use Messenger anymore and SMS is a joke with how glaringly unencrypted/de-facto wiretapped it is.
I’d love to get everyone on SimpleX but they already look at me like a wacko over Signal. The convenience tax is just non-negotiable for them and I have no idea how to bypass it.
Simplex ain't ready... So ain't pushing it as of now.
Once it is normie ready, I will start the move.
Signal is a temp solution
With that being said, I agree 100% with your comment. We work with what we got today!
Blastboom StriceI used to be a big proponent of simplex even if I dont use it with anyone, but I was told that the main developer supports tr*mp and m*sk… If you go to their github, they only link twitter as their social media and if you check their account…
github.com/epoberezkin (dunno if were allowed to share twitter links)
Talks about “far-left radicals”, says that nazis were socialist etc. etc. … Really yikes
MikaYuck. Well then again we sit in Lemmy, and the lead dev is a proud tankiest tankie. Open source do be like that.
EngineerGamingTBH I feel like so many project leaders are wackos that I don’t even judge the products by those, just by things they do. I still have hope in Simplex, but there were a couple of red flags, such as content scanning proposals, including clientside. Sure, it can probably be relatively easily forked to remove that specific thing, or you can choose the servers that don’t do that, but it’s still alarming that they try.
алсааас [she/her]for private communication Signal is the gold standard lol
Not everyone needs shitty xmpp extensions, Matrix that lacks PFS and is enshitiffying as we speak (I say as an avid user) or overkill like Simple X or Briar.
Sure... But you are also feeding NSA meta data on your communications which is whatever I guess for most people but I don't like it
I seem to be misinformed. Signals architecture is explicitly designed in a way to minimise metadata as much as possible. You can look up the data they had to hand over due to lawsuits, it was absolutely minimal
minimise
Just enough, just enough
Download portmaster and review signal connections ;)
I know that Signal runs on US cloud infrastructure (like AWS IRRC)
Doesn’t change a thing about it’s security or what they had to disclose to authorities
There is such thing like national security laws.
So you don't know shit.
If they are told to log, they will log. And there is enough meta data leakage to create heat map of your contacts
I know that Signal runs on US cloud infrastructure
And only that one.
Signal dev is quite adamant on not letting people have their own servers, select a EU provider (yeah, EU is nazifying, but at least it’s a large enough second-hand basket) or host the (suppossedly zero-knowledge) messages on one’s own infrastructure. I’d say that’s curious.
First - I’m not sure Sealed Sender would help against the server being changed to be actively malicious and trying to build social graphs. Second - even metadata concerns aside, a centralized system is just not resilient. Proposals like Chat Control are A LOT more easily enforceable with them than with tiny selfhosted servers.
The question is not is Proton perfect in every conceivable way, the question is: is it more private than Google and the answer to that is yes.
When you opine on social media that Proton is somehow just as bad as Google you are helping doing the work of Google and that’s the part that (again I don’t truly believe this) makes me wonder if Google/Meta/Twitter is sowing the social web with seeds of doubt about more private alternatives.
Proton ceo is a pedo king bootlicker and their product lacks focus was my criticism.
You ain't never gonna catch me defending sundae the creep and rest of then parasites
I didn’t say defending, I said helping. Which you are.
You are entitled to you opinion
You may want to double check that.
Genuinely most of the people against bluesky/atproto haven’t looked into it further than the blogpost by Christine lemmer-webber, and just want to be eliteist about being on the fediverse.
It really reminds me of the Mastodon mob mentality that caused so much trouble for fosstodon :/
