It doesn’t. Russians are still free to use and contribute to Linux development. Just a few people lost their maintainer rights.

The fork has no hope of survival. Are you telling me Russia’s Ministry of Digital Development can maintain a project of this size? lol, rofl even.

So what? The law enforcement knows you have an account and knows the sign up date and last login. That doesn’t affect your privacy whatsoever. Besides, Europe isn’t a monolith. You can absolutely buy and use a SIM card without disclosing your name in some countries.

They have published requests from the law enforcement and their responses to these requests. The only unencrypted data they have is the phone number, a date of sign up and a date of the last login. That is it, everything else is encrypted and they cannot access it whatsoever.

The phone number is not connected to the messages. That’s the only thing they have. It is the best app for privacy.

They have bigger issues than piracy, e.g. csam, malware, and other criminal activity. But the age of no moderation whatsoever is over it seems.

PoC on 32 bit requires thousands of authentication attempts, so any sane firewall should protect you against it already. Afaik there isnt any for 64 bit

What the fuck you just killed me

Good take

He has a great content though. Some of his takes are a bit strange, but he didnt cross the line yet for me.

Isn’t that horribly insecure? I have my doubts regarding privacy. LocalSend sends to the device directly, without an intermediary.

I have the same use-case as @Duckytoast@sh.itjust.works. I didn’t test the integrity feature because it is my work machine and I am not fond of doing experimental stuff on it.

As long as there is an oversight and rules, I don’t have a problem with that
