  • Immich: FUTO — 2 years later

  • I am not trying to defend him or anything, I know nothing about this guy.

    But, according to the Wikipedia article, he stepped down from tönnies, he only inherited the wealth from his father, his brother now runs the business.

    So he doesn't have that much to do with the tönnies business.

  • Telegram is lying to you about privacy

  • You can build the app from source code though. Couldn't you compare that to the Google Build?

    Also, you could use a fork like Molly, they removed all proprietary binary blobs and replaced them with FOSS alternatives. And it's still fully compatible with Signal

  • Telegram is lying to you about privacy

  • Why would you not trust Signal?

    You don't have to trust their server infrastructure, because the end to end encryption has been verified by countless experts (and all their client side code can be looked at by anyone).

  • Telegram is lying to you about privacy

  • I think the point is not so mich whether you can trust Telegram or not (although I am shure you can't).

    The issue with Telegram is, that (by default) it stores all your chats unencrypted on their servers. So they can just access every message of yours whenever they want. That is not only dangerous for privacy, but when their database gets hacked, there is a decent chance, that all of your chats are gonna be released. Also, if governments want access to Telegrams data, they are legally obligated to comply.

    What you should look out for, when you want more privacy is:

    1. Legit End-to-End encryption: That means, that all your messages are stored and transmitted encrypted and only you and the person, you are talking to have access to these keys. So even if the server of the messaging service, you use is malicious or the government forced the organisation, which is responsible for the messenger, it would be mathematically impossible to read any of your messages.
    2. Open Source clients, that can be verified by security experts. End to End encryption doesn't mean much, when you can't verify what the service, you are using is doing with your private decryption keys. In other words: It isn't enough, if a company just says, they are doing encryption. The solution is Open Source clients, because that means, that everyone can see exactly what the apps are doing and can inspect the source code for backdoors or vulnerabilities. Usually, if a lot of people have been using them, you can be sure, that some experts have verified, that nothing fishy is going on.

    If you want a simple suggestion, that has good encryption and is fully open source, but is still easy to use, I would suggest you go with Signal.

  • There’s Never Been a Better Time to Study Computer Science

  • If the AI bubble bursts, it will take everything with it, because the global economy is currently single-handedly kept afloat by financial bullshit and ponzi scheme circular investments into AI.

    So when (not if) the AI bubble bursts, we are all gonna be fucked anyways. I guess the best advice would be to learn how to live with less (learn how to cook, don't order food or use precooked meals, stop buying your stupid AI tokens, buy used etc.) and either study what you interested in (even if it is computer science) or if you aren't interested in studying or can't afford it, find another job (ideally one, that fullfills you and can keep you afloat).

    There is no "ideal" job, that will guarantee you a stable future, so the best strategy is to just do what you are interested in.

  • Codeberg seems to be the best alternative to Github right now. It's fully FOSS and supported by a nonprofit and it's getting more and more popular.

    So if you want a good alternative to GitHub but still people to be able to see and contribute to your code, I would suggest Codeberg.

  • As the U.S. starves it of oil, Cuba is pulling off one of the fastest solar revolutions on the planet — with China’s help

    Jump

  • I mean, if their goal is to increase suffering for the Cubans, than that blockade is working pretty well.

    It would be nice to imagine, but unfortunately it's not like the solar panels are gonna solve all of Cuba's problems, especially because they don't have enough money to pay for a full transition.

  • Ladybird is pretty much dead to me, firstly because the dev has some really bad right wing vibes (he said gender inclusive language is too political for his docs and retweeted a Nazi on Twitter). And secondly because the started using AI to move the code to Rust to make it more secure, which is insane if you know anything about AI or security.

    My current hope is in servo, because they have much more capable maintainers and the project seems to make some good progress. Also they have daily builds on their website for every operating system, so you can already try it out easily (but don't expect everything to work right now, they still need some time).
