Is it worth waiting for WhatsApp interoperability anymore ? Is it ever coming ?

I really need to get in contact with some people on WA and have some groups to join and have been waiting for interoperability to get going so I don’t have to use zuck’s app . But the said date march has long passed and I can’t find shit on it or why it didn’t happen anywhere . I have yesterday downloaded the apk from...

Consider the level privacy of an interoperable / federated network is only as good as the node with the lowest level of privacy. The moment you connect to Meta infra, you’re feeding it data, including but not limited to who you talked with, when you online, your message frequency, and possibly a whole lot more. Then they can start linking other bits to form a complete profile of you.

It is just slightly better than installing WA., and also part of tge reasons why many Mastodon and Lemmy server refuse to federate with Meta Threads.

There is always a cost to security. How much you and your recipent ready to pay?

And, what you mean by “secure”? E2EE is basic. How about meta data? Or resilient to DPI? How about correlation attacks? Then the directory server. And the operator of the server. Where they located can be a factor too.

There can be a milion factors that can contribute to security. You can have it all but I don’t know if such thing exist or not. For each factor, you gain some security but loss some in other places. You need to pick and choose what you need.

So you want self hosted? And what you mean by changing the encryption? Changing the encryption protocol and encryption algorithm are two different thing. OMEMO is kind of de facto for XMPP. Last I checked it seems doesn’t let you choose the cipher suite like TLS 1.2 does. You can spin another if you have the capability to do so but not recommend.

And whatelse you want to tweek?

EDIT: typo

Key? Oh, welcome to the land of GPG/OTP where platform and protocol doesn’t matter. Good luck finding a friend willing to deal with this just to talk to you though. And loose some important security features like forward secrecy and double ratchet.

Not ransomware but just ransom to data exfil by a vulnerable API. But paying is still a dumb idea.

Ollama + llava-llama3

You now just need a cli wrapper interact with the ollama api

And you expect someone just do it for you? You alrady get the inferencing engine and the model for free mate.

Actually it is more than a local problem. Since Recall shipped with opt-out, means every computer will have this enabled. Even if you truned it off, the computer on the other end may still capture your data.

Say you said something here, regret about and delete it, but right before a user have Recall enabled see it and can just dig out your now deleted comment. Not good. This applies to HIPAA data or not.

This is essentailly a local search engine that index everything you see and others said in near real time, without repecting robots.txt.

You sure? Section 2.1 miss an important keyword: modify. If I can’t modify and distribute my modified version, it can hardly call OSS.

umami_wasbi,

May you explain how it is OSS when the license Section 2.1 doesn’t grant me the right to modify the code?

umami_wasbi,

What? Bitlocker key tied to MS account and mandatory? What’s the point of encryption if the key isn’t secret any more?

umami_wasbi,

Ok, I can saw value in that but why mandatory? While most doesn’t backup their keys, I do and I don’t need MS help.

umami_wasbi,

Yeah. Most theft targets the hardware, not the data within.

Classic cropo response: No no no. You just misunderstand it. This is what we ment actually.

They “clarifiy” it just because someone found out those shitty terms.

umami_wasbi,

basically a USB switch

In terms of web engine, there are Gecko(Mozilla) and WebKit(Apple) for you to chose from, which isn’t that much choice.

umami_wasbi, (edited )

It is viable, just lack diversity in terms of web engine. Web tech today are just too complex to have another web engine. Even Microsoft ditch its EdgeHTML and favor Blink, the engine used by Chromium-based browsers.

umami_wasbi,

Why not?

umami_wasbi,

It is luck(?) for him the password generator isn’t secure back then.

umami_wasbi,

GPT4ALL with the LocalDocs plugin?

Never used TikTok. I guess one searches “How to do X?” and shows tutorial videos each a mintue or so? Or “the Best birthday gifts” then a bunch of video trys to sell you the “best” gift? I have no idea.

umami_wasbi,

And more SJW shits

umami_wasbi,

Great. Seems Revolut is the choice then. Thanks for the recommendation!
