  • Is their chat e2ee tho? I know the video and audio can be

  • No. And there's loads of different providers because you can self-host.

  • Article doesn't mention how you're an asshole to all your friends and family if you handed your phone over.

    Ethically, you'd need to get consent from every person you took a photo of and every person you've ever emailed or messaged. Once you get their permission to pass their data over to the police, only then can you hand your phone to them without being an asshole.

  • Yeah that's dumb as shit. The only reason you wouldn't want to turn off your phone immediately before you have an interaction with police is if you plan to film them

  • Wut. If you want an alt YT client, you need the opposite of rusty. You need to update it every week to fight the constant cat and mouse game

  • Probably because its rusty

  • What are they gonna do with a phone that's off?

  • Didn't monero hard fork some years ago specifically to prevent this? Always pissed me off

    Edit: oh. That's why this isn't in the browser..

  • Do people not trade at meetups anymore?

  • Jitsi.

  • QR encoded viruses. Something like a sneakernet vector

  • Why r u gae. U sir r gae.

  • Unless they're installing implants, it should be safe to turn it off first.

  • OK, but it is Foss and encrypted client-side

  • Thats why we use cryptography.

    You could host the release on the police servers and they still couldn't get a client with a pinned public key to download a malicious version, because releases are signed.

    That said, while TAILS takes security seriously, you shouldn't just expect all package managers to update themselves securely. This is why you want to avoid these new tools that don't care about security, like flatpak, snap, brew, chocolaty, docker, pip, npm, etc

  • How?

  • I don't think we should expect privacy from either. Instead, we need better documentation.

    Personally, I'd appreciate to see a public dashboard displaying everyone's DMs and upvotes would help.

  • Why?
