actually, years ago there was a long drawn out drama about people in Signal’s team refusing to publish on F-Droid because of “security concerns” in Moxie’s time. IIRC they worked to take down builds on the main repo

you can probably still find the old github threads with the lenghty discussions

I’ve just seen it. I suppose Signal-FOSS has the same signature, since I can choose between the two repos on its F-Droid panel

since when? that’s good news to me!

the alternatives seem to be Molly on the main repo and Signal-FOSS on TwinHelix’s

talk about a n irrelevant comment! you’re informing us you’ve blocked someone, hahaha

but if you pirate their movies that’s cool!

that is the way

thanks for sharing that. I went to check and learnt it was used in the Mandalorian. I’m not even a fan of Star Wars, only seen the three oldies from back in the day, and didn’t even like them that much

I think this phrase is being used for longer than that movie exists, but maybe I just got it along the way

but yeah fuck disney!

this is the way

sorry for the muted video. it seems downloading the video from the redlib frontend yields no audio

original video

why are so many people going apeshit with marketing and PR? yeah the guy seems to be a sycophant, licking boot to protect his business, while throwing out a couple of unfortunate truths

if or when Trump finally condenses the fascistic and white supremacist tendencies of the US overtly into the regime, would you expect Proton to lead the resistance? maybe Ben & Jerry’s? or some other progressive BS posturing company?

why are we talking about what Proton stands for? it is not a person with ideologies…fuck corporate personhood

people looking for “good companies” is just sad

this. thank you

this, twenty times

the main way i get music files (320kbps mp3) is through the Soulseek network, which many commenter have mentioned. what has been left out is the best client to get into that network, that is free and open source software, which is Nicotine+. it work on any desktop OS

torrents are still valid but you won’t find many artists there

the most relevant comment

I wouldn’t call it a “scam” just manipulative marketing

the difference?

yes, they do (redmi the same as other xiaomi phones) and that’s an important thing I left out.

I did create an account long ago with an alias email that i’ve used for the unlocking of several phones’ bootloader. it also requires a phone number for “verification” when you start the unlocking process, so for anonimity you’d need an unregistered burner phone number

so it does leave a trace in their books

in case you go for a cheap new phone, around here the best option are some Redmi ones. recently got a Redmi Note 9 and slapped LOS on it for a friend, for about 170€. since none are very recent models, sometimes I had to spend a good time searching for them in shop stocks

Monero

there is a fork with proprietary dependencies removed called Signal-FOSS, whose repo you can add to F-Droid if you decide to trust it

omg, thank you. i just learnt about the “tags” function that I’ve always assumed worked differently without even trying it
