And? I really do not get how a tweet from Google contradicts the fact that their search engine is hot garbage that incentivises spam, centralised silos and "SEO tricks" like what CNET is doing.

How about we move on from archiac e-mail protocols? About time if you ask me..

Got to be honest, HN is the last place I expected to read the 12% line in. Hope this triggers some moderation inquiries to make sure it does not evolve into something worse.

Element Call is going to be pretty great once it is production-ready and has E2EE enabled by default (a branch of it already has it on.)

It's like saying you have freedom of (let's say speech) but not freedom of consequences, so the government will still discriminate against you. It shouldn't hold up on court and hopefully it won't.

Stop. Using. Proprietary. Software. If you don't control the software, the software controls you. If users are disallowed from auditing the software source code easily, then this is bound to happen.

Agreed. Just perplexed by the double standards.

Really? Mozilla is a political organisation and Brave, the very same organisation that hires a fired Mozilla CEO that publicly opposes same-sex marriage, is not a political organisation? Cool.

Two-party "democracy" gave the UK a decade of ill-represented government. The switch from FPTP to a proportional ranked voting system needs to happen for its democracy to be sustain itself in the future.

It's incredible how they are not called out for keeping a name like "Open" while nothing about them resembles openness.

Oh, and you might be interested in https://radicle.xyz/ . I tried it a while ago, was stable and has nice aesthetics to it as a bonus.

The "disclaimer" is quite interesting. Starts off with "this is not a Google product" and ends it with the fact that it is indeed their full-time project at Google. I wish these well-intentioned Googlers realise what the

I'm sorry but this largely reads like an advertisement. "As an expert I recommend this product!" with no backing of facts or actual informative explanation. Which is worrying considering the nature of cryptographic currencies

Not to mention the CA could potentially, intentionally or not, leak keys and allow governments, hackers or other interested entities to decrypt traffic. Centralising trust will always be a bad idea, regardless of context.

I am amazed by how okay you seem with this. Wow. Maybe it is me, who has already lived under a very similar set of laws and know that corporations are always the least hit by such laws. These are instruments that infringe on basic individua

Aside from mishits like backdoors in E2EE, which are also being considered in the US, UK and already law in places like China, these regulations will affect privacy-invasive monopolies and oligopolies. They will not affect 'innovation.

Highly off-topic, but isn't setting unnecessary cookies on by default without asking first incompatible with GDPR/ePrivacy? Going to the privacy policy page, it makes no mention of GDPR/ePrivacy and instead mentions US laws a

Flaw No. 3: Omission of a fair use exemption and Flaw No. 4: Omission of a safe harbor exemption will flood gates of hell when it comes to data privacy concerns. Fair use IS the current GDPR regulations. There is absolutely nothing fair in

There are hundreds if not thousands of instances which federate with each other. The entire point of Mastodon is to avoid giving too much power to one instance. Join a smaller one.

I am genuinely confused. April is too far away to start confidently saying "everyone knows a word doesn't mean what it means in a *license agreement*".

Facebook is more legally scrutinised by almost every concern out there. These replies are not reflective of the legal policies and measures taken in the west against Facebook. P.S: I am not saying they are sufficient.

Element sounded better for me and my friends than Discord but it is hard to convince people to use it when the client is incredibly buggy on desktop and Android.

You are quoting a scandal that happened about 7 years ago with a fundamentally different government. So much happened since then in the Egyptian political scene. A coup d'etat deposed that incompetent Islamist government and instilled
