Bad actors are sowing distrust by implying that Signal is not secure. Always remember that the powers that be don’t want the public to have encrypted comms and would love to ban private messaging apps altogether. I could also be completely wrong and Signal is in fact a fed honeypot…

The code is open-source though, and I’m hoping that individuals more learned than I would surely alert us if there were any backdoors/exploits…

Have you tried Pearltrees?

Windows bloat sucks. I wish Microsoft gave you the option to just install the components/features you’re likely to use. That way you could have an agile, minimal custom installation like you do in Arch.

Good article. I use Brave on desktop and android. I like that the adblocking is baked in. I still have to add my favourite addons but that’s the beauty of personalization.

Quick question: is the Tor browsing functionality in Brave adequate or should I just stick to the official Tor browser in that regard?

So it’s basically the same as protectedtext.com

On a related note: does anybody think that Nostr will ever gain real traction? Promising project, I try it again every other month but it’s still pretty rough…

Also: the fact that Dorsey has funded it and is a fan concerns me.

Most phones allow you to make emergency calls from from the lockscreen. I wouldn’t bother with an app if my xiaomi phone allowed me to have text info on the lockscreen. Not just medical info but also "if found pls contact - "

I have this installed already. Might come in handy during the zombie apocalypse :)

I used to do this but I’d prefer to have medical aid details, blood type and contacts accessible from lock screen.

I love options but does anybody else wish devs would put their heads together and focus on improving ONE app rather than launch a millon similar forks?
