yeah, someone dumb it down for us plebs

fair lmfao. i’m intentionally here in attempts to out-populate the crazy

not all of us are crazy 😭

when did you last try it and what clients? I’ve got friends/family accessing my library and I see them playing back stuff constantly and never seen or heard of any issues. This is across web, AndroidTV, Chromecast, Roku and mobile devices.

Linus Torvalds has been sold out to big tech companies like Google and Microsoft. He himself is a billionaire and no longer writes any code.

I can’t take that seriously

Oh, hey! Wasn’t even a problem for me.

can you post a link to this rule?

while true, that doesn’t mean that it isn’t compromised but not hackable yet, or that a weakness won’t be found in the future. I would heed the advice of those in the field of cryptography and stay away from Telegram and MProto

lets not forget AI was trained on human data. some people will “sound like AI” because they likely make up a big portion of its demographic training data.

container tabs don’t just isolate but also give you the option to have multiple profiles without having to log in + out of websites. if you don’t need that feature, then probably.

Those clients exist despite Signal Foundation, not because they encourage community development. They are doing everything they can to discourage third party app development.

That was your original claim. None of the sources you provided back up your original claim. We can talk about Google libraries or the delay in server side code if you want to go down that path, but that’s a completely different discussion. Why are you pivoting to other topics? Will you concede your original point or do you have evidence to back it up?

That link, and I could be missing it, has nothing to do with what I claimed. Mind editing your post and quoting a red flag linked at the source you provided?

I’ll reiterate my statement as you didn’t address it.

If Signal wanted to block third party clients, they would have blocked them already.

He was specifically talking to that developer. The “You” and “You’re” in that quote was specifically targeted at the LibreSignal developer.

I recall the gurk-rs developer specifically mentioned that his client reports to Signal’s servers as a non-official app. The Signal admins can see the client name and version - just like websites can tell what browser you’re using - and could easily block third party clients if they wanted to but they don’t.

If Signal wanted to block third party clients, they would have blocked them already.

They have demonstrated history of asking third party clients to not use the signal name, and not use the signal network.

The lead developer, nearly 10 years ago now, specifically asked LibreSignal to stop. A single event does not make a demonstrated history.

• Molly ~5 years in development
• gurk-rs ~4 years in development
• signal-cli ~9 years in development
• Flare ~2 years in development
• Beeper

The client that currently exists that do this do it against the wishes of the signal foundation

If you have evidence to back this claim, I would like to see it so I can stop spreading misinformation.

They are doing everything they can to discourage third party app development.

I’d say you’re moving the goalpost. Other than the hostility the founder showed towards LibreSignal nearly 10 years ago now, can you source any evidence to support your claim?

Signal has been forced by court to provide all the information they have for specific phone numbers [0][1]. The only data they can provide is the date/time a profile was created and the last date (not time) a client pinged their server. That’s it, because that’s all the data they collect.

Feel free to browse the evidence below, they worked with the ACLU to ensure they could publish the documents as they were served a gag order to not talk about the request publicly [2].

That’s outdated information:

• Molly ~5 years in development
• gurk-rs ~4 years in development
• signal-cli ~9 years in development
• Flare
• Beeper

Go forth and contribute, fork, or create your own.

They also refuse to distance themselves from Google’s app store.

This link has existed forever at this point if we count in internet years: https://signal.org/android/apk/ - getting an app directly from the developer with no middleman is about as distant as you can get from Google’s app store.

that’s really good to know! thanks

As someone who’s been wanting to test (and maybe move to Podman) in the future but hasn’t really spent any time on it, what features have Red hat removed from Podman?
