I would like to share with you a very cool project that develops drivers for correct operation of Microsoft Surface devices on Linux. I myself use Surface Pro 6 with these drivers and everything works like a charm (battery life is good, cameras work, stylus, keyboard, touchscreen, screen). The developers are gods. From myself, I...
Link to article from main Lemmyβ€οΈ developer about Signal privacy. Mostly fair points. I kinda distrust so centralized services but basically we have no other options (Matrix is buggy in many aspects). What can you say about this article?
For the past year, Iβve been immersed in the topic of Privacy. I switched to Linux, flashed my phone to LineageOS, changed all my software to one that respects privacy, switched my family and most* friends to Signal, started hating megacorporations and pretty much every government in the world, asked a lot of questions on...
Why are reproducible builds only on one platform (Android)? Desktop version could have a built-in backdoor and data would be transferred not from the phone, but from the PC)
In the privacy community there are services, programs for private maps use. Some even suggest using the phone without a SIM card (which is quite possible, but you can get into trouble). But I donβt use them, as my geolocation is already tracked by an advanced camera system in my city, by my cell provider via triangulation....
WHY? Iβve heard a lot that LineageOS cannot be called a private system. That it is more about extending the life of old devices. Can you tell me specifically point by point why it is not private? And Iβm sure itβs better than stock phone firmware in terms of privacy.
about mastodon. i love centralized social networks because you can search for any post, regardless of the date of its creation, any person, any community. in mastodon, however, this does not work....
I recently found out that Signal supports stickers created by users and was very happy about it. For me, the easiest way to install was this site. Thank you, Signal developers!
I understand that probably there is little interest if you are a device ROM maintainer to embed a backdoor into it. But itβs still possible. Lineage has a fairly simple and open build process. Should I do it on my own? Or should I trust the maintainers and not bother? What are your thoughts?
I really like using KeepassXC on a computer. On Android, I found KeepassDX to be the best client. But the last commit was from March and it confuses me. Do you think the project was abandoned or just a person took a break from development?
Why do people assume Signal messenger isnβt spying on you? Yes, it has open source code, yes it uses end-to-end encryption. But we canβt check which code runs in the version from Google Play or the App Store. And also their APK (IPA) build process is essentially a black box, it doesnβt use GitHub Actions or some other...

Screenshot was taken on lemmy.ml, but icon is not displayed on lemmy.world either -> there is no dependence on the lemmy version.
