  • New Tuta Calendar app is now on F-Droid

    Jump

  • It connects to proprietary services which makes it not an option. The same situation for Tuta Mail. We can talk after they publish their server source code. Proton is also not an option for the same reasons.

  • NetBSD does work for toasters, coffee machines, and fridges, absolutely!

  • I question the claim about Apple Darwin using NetBSD since Mac is based on a 10+ year very old version of FreeBSD, and Playsttion 4 and 5 uses FreeBSD. Sony aubmits code to FreeBSD to get it supported for Playstation.

  • MacOS is a modified butchered version of FreeBSD

  • Wholly, entirely, irelevent. Search the number of people who use NetBSD once a week compared to the number of people who use FreeBSD once a month or OpenBSD once a month. Check the number of people who have at least installed NetBSD. See what it's used for. NetBSD is completely forgettable.

  • FFmpeg devs boast of up to 94x performance boost after implementing handwritten AVX-512 assembly code

    Jump

  • Does the BSD's heavy emphasis on code correctness, that's when the quality and security of the code will be revealed. I will watch what the OpenBSD developers say when they try to port the new code for FFMpeg.

  • When this comes to the BSD's, it will be interesting to see if there is a significant difference in multimedia. I bought Intel 11th gen over 10th for it's AVX-512.

  • PSA Help others escape WhatsApp using Watomatic auto reply (and how to write it)

    Jump

  • Your argument is purely ideological and reflection of your lack of experience travelling various countries that do not speak English. For example, go to a country where 100% of all business, companies, and offices, use Whatsapp because it's the most stable form of phone service they have so they don't have to pay for each phone call and pay for each text message.

  • Why is Simplex calling to Google?

    Jump

  • I think I can agree with the crux of your statement, the problem I see completely outside of your argument is the online privacy community is both highly toxic and highly ignorant. Most of them have never worked in IT or as an admin and have to work with customers according to what the customer is paying for and not what someone believes is a better way but the paying customer has no interest in learning, so they spout their opinions online but have never had formal employment in network security and privacy for a company.

  • In the details for potential URL in memory, it says that's for .onion address.

    Thank you for posting the report, after I read through it, everything to me is clean and clear. The FDroid apk does not communicate with any outside resource that is not part of the anonymous network.

    The Github version relies on Google, and to me nothing in the report suggeats that the FDroid version communicates with Google services.

  • Anything released on Github has no code requirements or restrictions, that is why some people do reproducible builds of software, to verify is has 100% functionality of a binary release. Any app from F-Droid is repoducible.

  • I woud still like for you to do a scan on the FDroid SimpleX apk to verify the difference for yourself instead of whatever I say about it.

  • The link for F-Droid security issues is goijg on 3 years old, have you looked at the code xhanges for F-Droid since then?

    For using Obtainium, how do you avoid or block all apps from Github that depend on GCM, Firebase, or Google services? That's wh I uae F-Droid and disable all anti-features so those apps are never listed, even if I search for an app that has Google dependancies, F-Droid will say that app does not exist or is not listed, as long as all anti-features is disabled.

  • It's too bad that the F-Droid releases are far behind. I do not install from Github to prevent against proprietary dependancies.

  • Why is Simplex calling to Google?

    Jump

  • I can't speak to that with a familiar level with the code, I can only presume or guess. All I will say is that is why I never install any app from Github or Gitlabs, because there is no third party verification of the code for releases on those sites.

    I only use F-Droid after disabling all anti-features in Settings and then install apps that I know are 100% clean from all dependancies.

    Download the SimpleX apk from F-Droid website and then run that to see what it says for any difference in the results.

  • Is that based on the F-Droid version of SimpleX from the native F-Droid repository?
