Isn’t Signal E2E encrypted? How would it be able to decrypt them?
- Comment on Matrix 2.0 Is Here! 2 weeks ago:
But then what’s the benefit to Signal? Just that it’s decentralized?
- Comment on IFIXIT: Victory Is Sweet - We Can Now Fix McDonald’s Ice Cream Machines 3 weeks ago:
I wonder if someone could invent a new open source machine of some sure along with a tool to fix that, and that tool just happens to also be able to fix the McDonald’s ice cream machines?
- Comment on Hypothetical: Can a person "citizen's arrest" themself? And if so, how (and why) would that even work? 3 weeks ago:
If you citizens arrested yourself then the criminal would also be holding the arrester hostage.
- Comment on Has "Self-Driving" devolved? 4 weeks ago:
Probably, because it’s simpler. Driving on a highway is way less complex of a task than driving in cities.
- Comment on Loops by Pixelfed • Launching in a week 1 month ago:
Big creators make a ton of money from their videos. I’m fine with the Fediverse adding ads, or creators doing sponsorships. We need a separation of concerns. Fediverse is removing centralized corporate control.
We need a way to get good content creators money on the Fediverse.
- Comment on Loops by Pixelfed • Launching in a week 1 month ago:
IMO a very small amount of storage should be free but after that the user needs to pay. It’s the right thing to do for hosts and for the environment. If content creators need massive amounts of video then that will incentivize them to make money on it.
The only people left out are small, niche channels that have quality or important content but don’t make much money. Maybe they could be cut special deals by the hosts / donors.
- Comment on Redox OS 0.9.0 - Redox - Your Next(Gen) OS 1 month ago:
Even Torvalds said that a lot of critical parts of the kernel are completely undocumented and only one or two devs know how they work. IMO that’s completely unacceptable, especially for such an important OS. They’ve proven they don’t want to collaborate or communicate how they work to others.
Rust encodes a LOT of things into the type system, which makes it far, far easier to maintain since you don’t need docs, and since the compiler enforces these things automatically. Memory safety is only one of them.
Starting something in a modern language instead of one with so little safety is a massively important feature.

But then how do you make money with a browser if you aren’t getting Google money and don’t spy on users?

That being said, I can’t trust MKBHD is not hallucinating either.
- Comment on GrapheneOS now officially supports Pixel 9, 9 Pro, and 9 Pro XL | GrapheneOS is a private, secure mobile operating system with Android app compatibility, developed as a non-profit open source project 2 months ago:
IMO he can contribute all he wants. His PRs will still have to go through someone else (i.e. the new maintainer / lead dev). I don’t care if he adds new code. That’s much appreciated.
Toxicity is more of an issue if you’re the maintainer since you have control over the project.
- Comment on GrapheneOS now officially supports Pixel 9, 9 Pro, and 9 Pro XL | GrapheneOS is a private, secure mobile operating system with Android app compatibility, developed as a non-profit open source project 2 months ago:
I’m very close to pulling the trigger on Graphene. One question though - usually when I try open source / secure alternatives to some popular software the UI is janky and super old looking.
Is Graphene like this with their custom apps / UI stuff? Will I notice? Or is it identical to the stock OS UI design?
- Comment on Telegram repeatedly refused to join child protection schemes 2 months ago:
They claimed that authoritarian governments do not do this since they have no reason.
- Comment on Telegram repeatedly refused to join child protection schemes 2 months ago:
Sure, but what the person I replied to is claiming is that e.g. North Korea doesn’t lie to its people about reasons it does things, which is, of course, bullshit.
- Comment on Why 🤷♂️ do users 👨💻 dislike 👎 the use ✅ of emojis 😀 on Lemmy 🐭? 2 months ago:
One thing I really hate is when people use that clap emoji between every word to try to solidify what they’re saying.
Doing that, or saying “full stop”, etc. doesn’t make me trust what you’re saying more. Explain why what you’re saying is correct. Use logic and sources.
- Comment on Telegram repeatedly refused to join child protection schemes 2 months ago:
LOL, this is a joke right? Authoritarian countries don’t lie about reasons for doing things? LMAO

Small government
This is sarcastic, but it’s as much of a joke as Stephen Colbert - it’s touching on something pretty real. Not sure what’s wrong with pointing out hypocrisy.

Did someone just slap this together by copying and pasting an asterisk three times? I know we’re an open source, nerdy community but could we hire a graphic designer?

- Comment on Exclusive: Google-backed software developer GitLab explores sale, sources say | Reuters 2 months ago:
I view Gitea as the real alternative to GitHub. I was very big on GitLab for a long time, and think any competition is good, but I’d really like it if more people could seriously invest in Gitea.
- Comment on DARPA: Translating All C to Rust (TRACTOR) 3 months ago:
AFAIK you can get around this by using raw pointers / unsafe blocks in Rust, then have a human target those to rewrite it in a safe, structured way.
- Comment on Proton mail launches LLM and crypto wallet 3 months ago:
Maybe they should get search working first? Or just contacts sync?
- Comment on Proton releases a self-custody bitcoin wallet | Proton Wallet is open source and has been audited by a third-party firm, the company said 3 months ago:
It does need many man hours to be built and maintained, especially with things like finance apps. Also, this is a crypto wallet, not a competitor to something practical like Google Wallet. Crypto is basically a useless pyramid scheme and uses an enormous amount of energy.
- Comment on Proton releases a self-custody bitcoin wallet | Proton Wallet is open source and has been audited by a third-party firm, the company said 3 months ago:
Yep, I’ve been a paid user for years and reconsidering my choice to invest my time and money in Proton lately, and this one hit hard. Crypto? WTF Proton.
Focus on getting the basic shit working instead of jumping on bullshit scams like AI and crypto, both of which are eating up enormous amounts of energy for very little good as well.
People still can’t sync their fucking contacts. It’s 2024.
- Comment on Proton releases a self-custody bitcoin wallet | Proton Wallet is open source and has been audited by a third-party firm, the company said 3 months ago:
The problem is that all of these new products take a LOT of time, money, and dev resources. Those are all a limited supply. There are super duper basic Calendar features that they could be working on instead.
