  • the influence is immense

  • actually, the way twitter likely works is that you have to pay for your posts to not be suppressed. the game, of course, rigged.

  • Federated End-to-End Encrypted Messaging is Coming Soon

  • Any we client including Matrix webclient is incredibly vulnerable to the server just injecting JS

    That doesn't preclude fediverse clients from enabling E2EE. A web-client isn't a requirement.

    Like there is no point of E2E encryption in Twitter, Musk can read your messages if you open them on any device he can execute arbitrary code on.

    Agreed, nobody should trust twitter, but I would trust most mastodon clients to send encrypted messages, if/when implemented correctly. Does it guarantee that messages will never be read? No, but it does an extra layer that wasn't there before.

  • that argument doesn't hold. you're letting perfect be the enemy of good-and if you truly believe that, then you wouldn't be recommending Matrix which has web clients, see https://app.element.io/

  • Federated End-to-End Encrypted Messaging is Coming Soon

    Jump

  • why? because it would be cool if only intended recipients are able to view sent messages.

  • LibreOffice Online, a self-hostable libre office environment, is coming back!

    Jump

  • Check out CryptPad.org, it's:

    • Open Source; so it can't be taken away from you should the org cease to exist.
    • Self-hostable; although you can use or pay to use other people's instances.
    • Collaborative; with real-time editing like Google docs
    • Federated; so you can collaborate with others whether you're using a self-hosted instance or using any other server.
    • End-to-end encrypted: The server admins can't see any of your data.

    Only downsides so far is that the UX is a bit slow when first loading documents and there are no mobile apps.

    EDIT: Forgot to add the important par, they recently added support for OnlyOffice in the browser, which to me, was a pretty big deal.

  • How to stop a dictator | I spent months studying how authoritarians like Trump lose. The answer is shockingly simple.

    Jump

  • the problem the guy above is trying to call out is that traditional social media (read: algorithms dictated by the ruling class) spread misinformation and control the narrative in ways we never thought possible. voting works, yes, but without addressing the root cause—misinformation—we will end up right back where we are.

  • I left lemmy because of the nutomic, yogthos, and dessalines. horrible people who have too much influence/control on all things lemmy and will ban/silence you for anything. check out !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works

  • AI controls is coming to Firefox

    Jump

  • If these features interest you, that's great! But you're not the average user. Congrats tho. Librewolf may be perfect for you.

  • AI controls is coming to Firefox

    Jump

  • DRM is one. On Windows it doesn't auto-update by default (maybe that's changed now?). I recall you have to whitelist some sites to work properly. It's just not something I can set up for my parents and expect most/all websites to work without intervention.

  • AI controls is coming to Firefox

    Jump

  • people (not calling you out specifically) keep suggesting Librewolf like it isn't driving around a city in a tank. it gets the job done, sure, but most people will not tolerate its faults. Suggest something more in-between like Waterfox at least.

    Suggesting Librewolf is like asking people to browse the web via Tor. it works, sure, but the inconvenience will make most people give up on gecko-based browsers and give into Google/chrome via Brave or the million other chrome-in-sheep's-wool browsers.

    Let's recommend viable alternatives: https://www.waterfox.com/
