Count me out. Let me know when you revive the chat room on Matrix.

Music to my ears

The honeymoon phase is reaching its end

Be the change you wanna see in the world. Start by ditching WhatsApp yourself, or at least aggressively reducing your usage of it in favor of Signal. Let your friends and family know that you’re only reachable on Signal now and see what happens. You don’t have to ask them to switch; just to use Signal if they wanna contact you.

Why would you wanna do that? I personally don’t shop at stores based on whether I believe their stock would do well in the future.

Is it me or it looks like the sky is also a pool?

That’s the way to go

Nothing beats a good old spreadsheet.

Let’s keep that trend going

Thanks for the tip. I haven’t checked privacy guides in a while. I’ll definitely give their recommendation a try.

AFAIK browser extensions on iOS are only available for Safari.

Do you use Focus exclusively? Or you use another browser for bookmarks, logged in browsing, tabs, etc. ?

Thanks. The issue I personally have with those tests is that they compare browsers using their default settings, which makes sense. It wouldn’t scalable to test every setting combination for every browser.

So I wonder how Safari would fare if it’s used exclusively in Private Mode with ad measurement and cross-site tracking disabled.

It’s most likely a bug

The news broke before July 1st

How do you get rid of fines?

I didn’t know about Orion or Kagi search, thanks.

Do you know if Orion is open source? How does Kagi compare to DuckDuckGo search?

I think e2ee is always on in WhatsApp. You don’t need to turn on anything. You may be confusing it with Messenger or Telegram.

You better believe that any metadata that can be syphoned by Meta is, that includes profile info, social graphs, who’s calling/messaging who, when, and for how long. AFAIK only message content is e2ee.

That’s good news. It probably means that they’re losing users like crazy and have to resort to shady practices like this one in order to force signups.
