VC funded, not exactly a community project, I’m skeptical, and worried about it’s future

It’s my go to messenger, idc about the crypto stuff, it’s just a way to reward volunteers who use their servers for all the mathematical conversions, and I have been thinking of running a node myself, to make the network more decentralized

It has some downsides though, you can’t send larger files than 8mb, and if you lose your recovery phrase, you’re compromised, and you can’t edit messages

I used to tell people to use Signal or Element, but I noticed many can’t even sign up, Session just generates a random ID for you, and voila…

Storyboarder ( but I haven’t tried it yet ) it seems geared towards 2D animators

these 20 people are awesome :D

Piped and Libretube stopped working for me, they’re requiring sign up now, it’s sad :(

That’s not a hard proof, people keep saying Intel ME and AMD PSP are potential backdoors ( key word: potential ) and this argument is good if we’re arguing about: which is the best ISA, an Open ISA ( RiscV ) or closed ISA ( x86 )

I was asking for a general example, I know that Mediatek chips included a backdoor but I only found one article that talked about it … In french…

Mobos : I think it’s MSI ( I could be wrong ) that installed a peace of software through a Bios update, which showed they have privileged remote access capabilities ( I couldn’t find that source, sorry )

Another example would be ASUS and Gigabyte Mobos, now the initial source says it came from the second hand resellers, but no one confirmed that… which is scary… because that would mean it came straight from ASUS and/or Gigabyte

I was asking for incidents that you came across that could demonstrate the presence of firmware backdoors, saying having too many bugs is not a good argument, because all software has bugs.

Examples ?

First time I heard about it was from this youtube channe…called “all things secured” but I don’t remember the video , he said police officers stopped him and plugged a USB C on his phone, after a few moments they let him go…

this article discuses the same situation but I’m sure you can find other sources

Ohh… wow… 🤯

aren’t they going to ask you to unlock it, or do as they do in China and run a quick scan using their special software?

THANK YOU 🤍, I can’t upvote this enough… It’s awesome and sounds human… now I can git rid of my Googled phone… 🥳

Edit: after a test run, it doesn’t seem to have a way to change the language, and installing a different apk with different language removes the old one… 😔

Outdated and probably unmaintained, runs 32bit code, and extremely buggy… RHvoice is leaps ahead

I’m asking for something that sounds human like Google’s TTS engine

If not a Pixel with GOS, I would say the second best pick is a Fairphone with CalyxOS… And don’t worry about the updates, they’ll provide extended support for as long as possible, which could be years, CalyxOS is also awesome
