@semperverus Just from the small interactions I had with Hector on mastodon I can see he gets very unreasonable about small things and does not accept the possibility that he may be wrong, despite evidence. So leaving linux and mastodon because of rust is totally on brand for him.
@Karcinogen Disclaimer isn't going to cut it. Are you the same person as the other 5 guys in this thread who had exactly the same argument and also "solved" it by adding a disclaimer? Is this an organized spam campaign? Because it sure looks like that. If you like FUTO, fine, but go take it to a community that isn't focused on open source. Is that too much to ask? Every week? With exactly the same arguments? Are you guys blind?
@freijon feel free to learn what "open source" means. Look, considering the number and frequency of posts in this community talking about this issue, you don't get the benefit of the doubt anymore. People arguing that futo is open source are just spammers. Look around.
@ToxicWaste@JOMusic the censorship is trained into the ollama models too. But of course the self-hosted model cannot send anything to China, so at least the whole tracking issue is avoided.
@Adda@DrDystopia For Rss I've been using "SpaRSS DecSync" with Syncthing exactly for local rss feeds synced across my devices. It works, but yeah it would be nice if the ecosystem around DecSync were more live, more apps implementing it, to have more choice.
@peregus yes, well the javascript on the site is minified, but I found this place even in the minified code. At this level it would be easier to take the source code and compile your own, host your own instance, then you know exactly what code is running there. And their minified code could be directly compared with your minified code... the beauty of open-source software.
@peregus It's explained in other threads here. The key is in the url but behind # and that part is invisible to the server. protocol://host:port/path?query#fragment, server will only see ..?query, so both participants can decrypt, but server can't = E2EE
@jwmgregory I think you misunderstand some of the technical terms, it would be quite clear how it works and why it's ok, so let's just keep an open mind. Nobody will be justifying their existence in front of a random internet user. So feel free to be sus, but keep an open mind about terms like E2EE, there is much to learn.
Wiki End-to-end encryption: The messages are encrypted by the sender but the third party does not have a means to decrypt them, and stores them encrypted. The recipients retrieve the encrypted data and decrypt it themselves. Because no third parties can decipher the data being communicated or stored, for example, companies that provide end-to-end encryption are unable to hand over texts of their customers' messages to the authorities.
@EugeneNine Basically the plot of the Animal Farm.
