They’ve been focused on privacy for 10 years, before it was nearly as marketable.

This is a weird thread. Lots of complaints about lock in and companies managing your keys, both of which are easily avoidable, the exact same way you’d do so with your passwords.

What do you means by this? What part do you want to be open source? Passkey are just cryptographic keys, no part of that requires anything unfree. There’s aready an open source authentication stack you can use to implement them. You can store them completely locally with KeyPassXC for selfhost Vaultwarden to store them remotely. Both are open source?

And yet Nintendo files bogus copyright claims against emulators.

Id like to add a lutris integration for it at aome point.

The joke is a popular meme of making up things that are happening on the podcast that obviously do not fit the general idea of the podcast. If you are aware of these memes, you’d probably understand the joke right away.

I still think it’s not a good joke to make since it can be easily misleading. I’m not sure there was a good way to make this joke while clarifying it was a joke, and they would’ve been better off finding some other meme to make a joke with.

I think the biggest problem with the joke is that Proton somehow didn’t understand their audience at all. I would imagine it leans older and most of their followers wouldn’t get it. Most of my Gen Z friends would have understood the meme, but I doubt many of them follow Proton on Twitter.

This was nothing more than a poorly executed joke from Proton. Some people are massively overreacting.

this is imessage

Even better, thanks!

Never thought to look for an extension for that. Thanks for mentioning it.

Every modern android phone I’ve used comes with Google Messages by defualt.

That is only on rooted roms and ones using MicroG. GrapheneOS is generally not rooted and uses Google Play Services by sandboxing it. I am using RCS on my Pixel 7 running GrapheneOS.

It does work on GrapheneOS, but you need to have Google Play Services installed.

Every android that has Google Play services has RCS, they just need Google Messages to use it.

Yep, and he soon after started praising musk and Twitter, calling it “freedom software” lol. Him leaving was what drew my attention, I like the way it’s heading so far.

As far as I understand, the protocol and client apps are completely open souce. I do not believe the Bluesky software is open source, so you could not host an instance the same way you would with Mastodon. I could be missing something or not underatanding, but that’s what it seems to me.

A great custom skin, and far better defaults for both privacy and speed, based on Betterfox.

The fact that a fork that simply has a better UI and default settings is gaining so much popularity shows how bad Mozilla is fumbling their product.

Bluesky is built on an open source ActivityPub alternative called “AT Protocol”. However, Bluesky itself is not open source* and afaik does not yet federate with any other software. The company is a “public benefit corporation”.

From my understanding, Bluesky has good moderation, to the point where Jack Dorsey (the Twitter founder) condemned it and withdrew from the project. That’s a big plus in my book.

• Another commenter pointed out that some parts of it are open source, such as the apps and at least some parts of the backend. Im not sure to what extent the backend is open source.

When you try do sign up on the Mastodon app it defaults to and recommends mastodon.social, which does nothing of this sort. The average user will just keep this default and be fine.

I do really wish mastodon had normal quote replies. I believe they decided not include it for reasons related to harassment or bullying. I don’t really get it since you can do practically the same thing but just linking to the post in yours. The mastodon UI even makes it look almost the same as a quote reply.
