Microsoft was claiming that the data would be inaccessible to hackers (which is not true).

Signal claimed the exact opposite: that once it’s on your computer, messages can be seen by malicious programs on your computer.

Signal was caught having less than ideal security. Microsoft was caught lying.

You can only do that for your own messages though. I’m guessing the messages from the prostitutes would be more than enough for the wife to notice.

Also I think the window is longer than 3 hours. Maybe a day?

Signal also has a similar problem. If you choose the “delete for me” option, it only deletes it on one device and leaves it on the others, last time I checked.

He would have to set up disappearing messages aswell.

I didn’t know that was a controversial opinion? Do you think that Apple are as bad as Google or Meta in terms of privacy?

Apple does have privacy violations, but the things I’ve seen them get caught doing are minor compared to the things that many other companies do openly.

The main point of the article you’ve linked is that Apple put the equivalent of a “Do not track” option in a browser, and it did exactly the same of a “Do not track” option in a browser (nothing). Does that mean that any browser with a DNT request option is bad for privacy?

Adding an option that is somewhat misleading isn’t ideal, but it’s incomparable to something like Cambridge analytica incident, or the tracking that Google put basically everywhere on the Internet.

By the way, I am in no way defending Apple. I’m just saying that everything that Apple does, companies like Google and Meta also do, just ten times over.

I believe an iPhone is way better than a Pixel for privacy, even if both are far from ideal. I’d love to be proven wrong, tho.

It will work for a while until the guest account expires, but then you’ll need to log in with a Twitter account.

(I think)

I’m on 3.7.3

It got updated so you can log in with Twitter accounts instead of only using guest accounts. It still works as far as I can tell

If anyone needs to use Twitter but doesn’t want to use the official app/website, Squawker (F-Droid) (GitHub) still works, but you need to log in with an account now.

Or Cromite, a fork of Bromite that’s kept up to date and has more features.

It doesnt no

This works most of the time, but not all of the time. Even in official apple apps some menus don’t let you swipe from the left to go back.

I use gesture navigation on Android. It has some upsides and downsides compared to iOS, but it works 100% of the time, no exceptions.

I would hate such a change. I can’t see emoji reactions ever being better than seeing a single number for vote count.

Reddit did kinda have their own emoji reactions, but they locked them behind a paywall, and called them awards. I don’t think anyone liked them, even if it wasn’t for the money. They cluttered the UI, they were annoying, even Reddit didn’t like them, since they’re removing them now.

Now imagine that but instead of a few people who paid Reddit for some reason, everyone can do it, for free. Thousands of emoji reactions per post.

Emoji reactions work for chat platforms since only a few people see each chat, but after a few hundred people see the post it becomes meaningless emoji spam (see discord announcement channels)

Not really, if you browse the big communities it has enough users but for more niche communities its not neatly nearly enough to be a replacement for reddit

Yep, the fourth link works now. I thought it would also work from kbin, but it seems to give an error. This is all too confusing… Thank you!

The second one is formatted as !jewelrydesign, not as !jewelrydesign@kbin.social, at least when seen from Lemmy. When opening from jerboa it gives an error, and from the website it doesn’t show as a link at all.

Edit: I checked from Kbin and it looks like it hid a part of my original comment for some reason. Maybe kbin handles community links differently. Here’s what my first comment looks like from Lemmy.

For the links, I think the correct formatting is !community@instance which should work in lemmy, but I’m not sure about Kbin.

For example !jewelrydesign@kbin.social

Also I love the icons you make. Very creative!

I know they said they’ll federate with ActivityPub, but did they say they will allow you to move accounts to other instances? That seems extremely unlikely to happen

The post is duplicated, one with an image, one without an image.

Something happened to me in another community, where I made a post, but I made a mistake and deleted it immediately after posting. This caused the post to be deleted from my instance, but it was still visible from other instances. I’m guessing it’s a bug with Lemmy. Since the post was deleted from my instance, I couldn’t find it to delete it again.

The same thing probably happened with this post, because if you go to lemmy.nz this post doesn’t exist there - try copying the permalink and going to it.

Image hosting is i.redd.it

Reddit tried to remove https://i.reddit.com, but they forgot that you could access it by going to https://reddit.com/.i

Wouldn’t be surprised if they would remove RSS feeds but forgot they exist
