That’s untrue. Someone made a modified client that sent message info towards other servers completely independently of signal. That part was compromised.
It’s like calling aignal compromised because someones phone was hacked.

Signal can’t protect you from users being an idiot and essentially showing their chat histories to other people over the internet.

That weird blue ai circle I saw them put in the app sure looks like one fat unremovable nag-ad.
Same with the status stuff. They tried turning it into a social media by shoving crap in your face you didn’t want and making it impossible to remove. How is that not an ad?

The salt is part of the password hash

They also say

meaning they cannot be read by a third party

which equally isn’t true.

If your password is guessable with trillions of attempts, and whatever information and time an attacker wants, then of course can they crack your hash, “read” your password, and try it on other services.

Sadly the kind of password susceptible to being broken on account of not being strong enough is also the kind people use everywhere because they memorize it. A truly strong password will only be found in a password manager.

Search engines don’t find any of the snippets I checked, are you sure it is? Looks unique to me.

It’s completely removable with one setting. No nags or anti-patterns or design holes.
If it stops a few from sticking with whatsapp because signal lacks that “feature”, I’d say it’s worth it.

Mastodon is also blocked, I don’t think they cared if services are centralized.

Op reposted it from somewhere, they may not have noticed. Here the image is from over a day ago https://xcancel.com/ChatgptLunatics/status/1961868529654767704#m declared as ai via the username. Depending on the intermediate that declaration may have been lost.

@[email protected] where did you get it from?

Requires a login. [email protected] is the only one that works for me. (Not the one at the top though since that one is that same url link underneath)

Heard one guy alone had 18000 orders successfully fullfilled

Try Summit, at this point it’s a pretty effective boost killer and also foss.
It’s developed at a high pace (which is why it reached boost killer status quite recently imo) so if you miss any feature you can request it and probably see it added in a week or two.

Better to use a general foss redirect extension than slowly accumulate various service-specific ones.
Libredirect natively does xitter -> xcancel, bluesky -> skyview, fandom -> breeze, reddit -> redlib, and like 50 more. All with tons of prefilled mirrors and uptests …

It’s a great place to find those alternative frontends. If you’re annoyed by some enshittified platform, good chance you can just enable a redirect in there.

I type kill -4 $$ all the time so I don’t pollute bash history. It’s probably up there as most typed command in 3rd place after l and cd ...

I swear I can type the entire thing in 1s flat on a good day.

Not sure about that. I set up a wg vpn server on a system which then became unresponsive whenever wg was fully saturating the network. Turns out there is apparently no way to throttle or prioritize a wg server, the only way I could think of would be to dedicate a vm to solely the wg vpn and throttle that vm in its networking.
I instead switched to openvpn which can simply be throttled via a line in its configuration.

Besides that missing feature, openvpn also doesn’t require figuring out the right iptables commands to verbatim paste into its config as startup and shutdown commands. Setting it up was way easier than wg (though openvpn too wasn’t exactly user-friendly).

WG to me seems too clunky and unfinished for more mainstream usage, though I am sure it wouldn’t be an issue for a large commercial user like mullvad that will have no issue with all that.
