Privacy@lemmy.ml•Federal Surveillance Tech Becomes Mandatory in New Cars by 2027
3·5 months agoNot exactly true.
They do not monitor the face of the driver and they are only mandatory for coaches and long distance freight.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Signal Founder Moxie Marlinspike: Telegram is not private. There is nothing private about it. They've done a really amazing job of convincing the world that this is an encrypted messaging app
2·7 months agoNo windows, therefore quiet, and good acoustics.

6·7 months agoI don’t understand his point about restoring your messages to a new phone. How does that prove it isn’t encrypted? Couldn’t Telegram store the encrypted data on their server, send the encrypted data back to you and then you automatically decrypt it because you have the key?
Not if you change this setting.

Invites by either QR or URL. You will be fine. Anyone who figures out how to join the Fediverse will figure out SimpleX too.
Last I checked (over a year ago) desktop was not great. IIRC there was no scroll bar.
Also getting noobs to join is tricky. You cannot use your native camera app to accept an invite (has to be via the SimpleX app) and it screws up invites via Facebook messenger (gets confused by the tracking suffix Facebook appends).
Search for it in the Google play store.
SimpleX uses the Signal engine but requires no phone number. Also can awt up your own server (unlike Signal).

And isn’t public WiFi more of a security issue than having your own carrier?
If you are an old programmer/geek young people will dismiss you even though they don’t even know what a folder is. They think they are IT experts because they can apply the latest instagram filters to their photos.
Norny is the person you were defending. Can’t be bothered typing their full username.
And yet
younorny seem to like B-52’s who were inspired by Yoko.They were not hacks.
You don’t get it because you probably are not an artist yourself. Maybe humble yourself and accept it from the artists rather than be “sad”. Am sure there is plenty which you know about more than they do.
I don’t get Miles Davis’ Bitch’s Brew or Captain Beefheart’s Trout Mask but am not going to disparage them. Musicians more advanced than me say it is awesome so I merely respect that. I don’t have to listen to the albums every afternoon until I get it
Fun fact: Interlude in B-52’s Rock Lobster was inspired by Yoko Ono.
Which in turn inspired Lennon to resume recording with Yoko.

Interesting that people on social media with a clichéd taste in music feel the need to punch down on creative artists who nevertheless end up influencing mainstream music decades later.
I don’t know what a software “stack” is but government can packet sniff to see if that kind of software is used but the vendors in this cat and mouse game apparently can sometimes fool the packet sniffers.
China cannot block all VPN’s so it is looking good for us geeks. However we need to educate the masses.
I had my Internet crippled in China in 2012 after I used Hamachi to log into my home computer in Australia.
The crippling got worse if I repeated my action eventually disabling the internet completely for about an hour.
I played this game a few times to pick up on the pattern.
A company can run their own VPN server. A third party need not be involved. The commercial VPN service providers can therefore be blocked by government without affecting those businesses.


Which state? It doesn’t seem to be the case in NSW according to that web page.
