I don’t get it
I think the implication is that they don’t use anything from any of those companies. I see icons for Bitwarden, Nextcloud, and Lemmy. So they’re probably a big selfhoster.
I’m pretty sure that’s Mull rather than Lemmy. Just started using it and it’s excellent!
What is it?
It’s a “more private/hardened” version of Firefox. Add-ons are possible as with Firefox Nightly.
From memory the UK gov is trying to (or has?) pass anti-encription laws targeting the big tech giants GAFAM (google, apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft). I am in Australia so not up to date with this.
Its hard to tell from the icon pack they are using but I think this might be a screenshot from a degoogle phone? For example I don’t see any Facebook or Microsoft specific apps. But I do see a nextcloud app which is an open source self hostable replacement suite for Google’s cloud apps.
Basically the law change won’t affect them as they are not using any GAFAM apps/software.
Maybe he thinks they need to find the app and open it on his phone?
It’s pretty hard to make open source developers all over the world comply with unreasonable demands of nation-states. Ditto locking down the national Internet to block people from accessing them. Even in North Korea it’s hard, not impossible.
idk man i see that discord logo
whats that cube looking app with fdroid and obtainium?
GrapheneOS Apps
Love this, funny how we have a lot of similar apps, but Discord stays on the bottom row, it’s hard to get rid of.
Man I wish I could uninstall it. It’s just plain spyware, at least from my point of view, but everyone uses it. I wanna be part of society too you know.
use revolt instead
I found it to be pretty difficult to get people to move to Revolt, more comparable with moving them away from regular social media than other messengers.
is there an alternative frontend for discord
There are alternative client for discord but you can get banned for using them soo ¯_ (ツ)_/¯
That’s one nice home screen. Shame we still have Discord tho
Yes, and I only use it for some Linux support groups, don’t know why they are not on matrix.
So many open source projects on discord unfortunately
Because matrix is absolutely not there yet like lemmy and mastodon are.
I‘m an admin and a coder for roughly 20 yrs, yet it took me hours to understand matrix and elements. There is just not enough knowledge out there atm and the apps dont do a well enough job themselves imho.
Used matrix too. But for the next try I wait for dendrite is out of beta state. The bridges fucked me up. One reason I use beeper, lets doing the pros the fucked up bridges.
Makes sense. We‘ll see if matrix clients can catch up to the other two. Usability is what we need. Matrix has been around for a long time but so far I only see enthusiasts and privacy obsessed peeps talk about it. That needs to change.
Do not be afraid! You have nothing to fear, for you have nothing to hide, do you? /s
What launcher?
What are you, some kind of terrorist?
Lol no. Just a privacy hardener. Idk it started with replacing all google stuff with nextcloud. And more and more I became free.
I might bite the bullet, and buy a Pixel tablet, to flash it with GrapheneOS. Lineage OS tablet support is pretty spotty lately. I use a Samsung SM-T720 that is doing well, but will die eventually.
Yes it’s kind of annoying to buy a google phone to replace google. Lineage is good but they use some google stuff.
GrapheneOS are sticking to Google hardware for security features and upstream support. I’d rather wish for a maximum privacy platform that doesn’t leak anything to Google. I’m currently not aware of anything like that.
You got access to Beeper? Lucky bastard
How long is the wait now? I’ve had it for a bit and I know they’ve been ramping up their onboarding.
I signed up 6 weeks ago, still nothing
I’ve been waiting for almost a month now, and I’ve seen a few people complaining how they’re in waiting list since multiple months (recent ones, i.e. after they announced lesser waiting time)
I’m not sure I really get the pull. It seems to just be a matrix server with bridges and custom clients
They do have their work open sorced which is nice, but this all kinda just looks like what matrix is on its own. I guess the only advantage I see is maybe making things a little easier for more casual folks, but it does cost to…
It used to cost. It is now free so that helps the value proposition. There will be a Beeper Pro/Plus or some subsctiption service that will allow you to have multiple accounts/bridges on the same network, but that’s not actually released yet.
One step closer to this 😦
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/RIuf1V1FhpY
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Is that Mull?
Yes
Ayyyy… Cheers mate… 🥂 I’ve been using Mull ever since Bromite got abandoned.
Graphene has vanadium, it’s okay same (or better) like bromite. But it’s chromium based, meh.
So they just come home with a warrant and take your unencrypted hard drive that’s self hosting all that apps
You think its unencrypted? Hah, nice try.
You don’t need to decrypt if it hasn’t encrypted. (Discord)
Did that godforsaken bill get passed yet?
what icon pacj is being used
I can identify at least four of those icons.
