Telegram is notoriously insecure and routinely cooperates with govs behind the scenes while talking a big game about speech and privacy. Even their limited opt-in (roll their own) encryption is sus. The more you know 🌈

@Mer__edith telegrams CEO is hilarious, he pretty often states the opposite with weird arguments.

@Mer__edith rest of the alt text "
🛡 Telegram is the only massively popular messaging service that allows everyone to make sure that all of its apps indeed use the same open source code that is published on Github. For the past ten years, Telegram Secret Chats have remained the only popular method of communication that is verifiably private 💪"

I've been digging around Ecosia documentation for a potential upcoming sponsorship and found that they now offer Google results as well, on top of the Bing ones from before. Neat!

@noodlejetski @Techaltar yea thats absolutely a weird design by them. Also the weird "eco friendly" trained version l, wth

@Techaltar if you disable search engine personalisation it disables google again I believe.
I like better results but eeeeeh

Why couldnt EA just use Steam?!
trying to launch Sims 4 for over an hour now.
Doesnt work because the stupid EA app tries to download two expansions that I did not tell it to do, that I do not even own and that wont actually download. I cant stop the download and can only play once the download is complete

shadowwwind,
@shadowwwind@fosstodon.org avatar

Finally it worked.
Just needed to use the EA repair tool, restart my PC and then download the EA app again because apparently it wasn't installed anymore.

I am creating a browser extension that opens what ever activityPub supported website you have open on your home instance on the sidebar so you can easily interact.
Only used it a little bit and already love it!

The only piece on #Medium that’s honest about the #misinformation that I’ve been dealing with.

https://medium.com/@mucherukiai/google-seo-updates-2024-jackyan-what-you-need-to-know-290ca00de2e1

One out of maybe 12 that I had to report … it does not reflect well on the #SEO industry and #Semrush. It does reflect very well on Medium, which took down misinformation posts very quickly.

so, jacksfilms opened his own social network on https://pithee.com/ but it isn't even a fediverse server? Unliked, unsubscribed, uncommented.

shadowwwind,
@shadowwwind@fosstodon.org avatar

@ErikUden that would be pretty weird considering there are no profile pages, no following, no tagging, reactions are not really public and posts don't have an actual link and as far as I can see are not persistent.

Its not really a "social" platform.

I don't think it makes sense to federate pithee with most other activityPub implementations.

It’s time to start using a privacy focused browser! 👩🏻‍💻🔐

The EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) is forcing Apple to give users a default browser choice.

Which default browser did you pick and why? 💻

@Tutanota @Vivaldi on mobile and @mozilla Firefox on desktop.
Both respect user privacy and are run by trustworthy orgs (Mozilla is challenging that ;/). Having a tab bar on mobile makes Vivaldi by far the best for me.

The ads DuckDuckGo shows when I search for "Play Store".

Two obviously misleading or downright malicious links.

There is no more good search engine. If you mention Brave or Kagi I will burn your house down.

shadowwwind,
@shadowwwind@fosstodon.org avatar

@prospector @thomholwerda Brave's CEO (and i believe owner) is Brendan Eich he seems to be anti LGBTQ as he donated to stop same sex marriage in California. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendan_Eich

Brave also heavily invests in their own crypto currency and an ad model centered around Brave.

shadowwwind,

@prospector @thomholwerda kagi is paying Brave to use their search index API

The rollout of Google Chrome 124 started yesterday, April 17, and it includes post-quantum key exchange enabled by default on desktop platforms. With that rollout, post-quantum encrypted requests have grown to over 5% of Cloudflare global TLS 1.3 request traffic.

How would you collectively describe the whole ecosystem that federates? Everything that uses ActivityPub, XMPP, Matrix and SMTP/IMAP?

@liaizon interesting tool!
But I don't understand why that would be a factor.
