That’s the point of digitally signing the app, to ensure its authenticity and integrity. TM and others wouldn’t be able to resign the modified app with the Signal Foundation signature.

EDIT: Yeah after thinking more about it it’s not a trivial problem, as you need to assume that the endpoint is inherently untrusted.

At the moment you can’t. The only realistic way I could see that happening is if the servers would check the app’s digital signature and refuse the app from communicating with the official infrastructure if it didn’t match.

And another great thing about Markdown: if the system doesn’t “support” it, it’s still totally readable. The formatting doesn’t get in the way of readability.

At a time where shopping local is more important than ever, when I take a walk and pass in front of businesses I take the time to ensure they are properly listed with their current business hours.

I had Tchap in mind.

At least they kinda get the implications, with their own Matrix derivative at the government level.

AI trends

Yeah that part kinda sucks, but it’s not all bad. For example, there’s the offline translation engine that relies on a trained model that runs entirely locally, which is kinda neat and great privacy-wise.

I think you mostly just need to block incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org

I’m surprised DOGE themselves aren’t using it to skirt FOIA.

Or maybe they are.

Service-specific link shorteners are alright, like youtu.be, a.co and goo.gl/maps. At least know roughly where you’re going.

For anything else, I rather see the full URLs, and if I need to share a link on a paper medium, I also make it available in a QRcode form.

Pressing “Join Group” just makes my Signal app crash on Android 🥴

Yeah I’m not saying Bridgefy is better, just that it’s available on both major mobile platforms while Briar isn’t. I do prefer Briar on technical and privacy levels.

Bridgefy was used more during protests since it’s available on both iOS and Android, while Briar is Android only.

There’s CryptPad that has a form feature which you could use for surveys.

You’d be better of security-wise looking for a secure alternative to the Yubikey, such as the NitroKey, Feitian, and some others. As long as their hardware is FIDO2-certified and the key has the capabilities you want (FIDO2, GPG, etc), you should be in business.

Not really, especially if there an MDM pushed through Apple Business Manager, which will be forced upon it at first boot.

These CEOs really don’t want the average people to like them.

Delete it, then embrace the fediverse through Pixelfed and Loops.

I use as as I don’t even want to bother hosting a PiHole, and honestly it works quite well. Set it as a DoT on Android and you have it outside from home without having to think about it.
