Friendly reminder that Signal—while maybe not perfect—is a much better choice for communication than RCS, especially if you are communicating anything sensitive. Doubly true if you are on iOS or communicating with anyone who is, as Apple still does not even use end-to-end encryption for RCS like Google does on Android.
@npub1k06ctulq8rcaen067tt6z3y6gxrqtsuje5em5lcn009zfpp0t7gqf0zyu9 So here you are saying that this app that my parents and neighbors actually use is bad compared to some other things I have never heard of before, one of which won’t have an app until next year, and which aren’t used by any people I know?
(*fart noise*)
@MisuseCase ArcaneChat is just a #chatmail client, you can use #DeltaChat that is the official client it is available in all platforms and it is decentralized, doesn't require phone numbers or any private data, it has much better multi-device and multi-profile support etc.

hi, you don't need to copy or share your email address in ArcaneChat, you will even have several of those in the future, they are used for relaying, think of them as #nostr relays, your identity is your encryption key just like on nostr, you should share your invite link, not your email address, that said, if you really want to copy it, it is in your invite link, just replace %40 for @, hope this helps, and thanks for using AC
look, if you don't want to update because you want to "do what you want" then that is your decision and your problem
ArcaneChat is a chat app focused on security, copying email addresses is only useful for sending unencrypted email which is not a use case of ArcaneChat, and the security of people will not be put at risk making it easy to copy the address and try to send unencrypted by accident just because you want to

> Lets not be mellodramatic & blow things out of porportion
Friend, you are the only one being melodramatic 😅 I am here relaxed telling you the option to copy email is not coming back, that your identity is your key, that you should share your link instead, that you will have several addresses/relays, this was a security measure, it is pointless for you to cry about it, there is no way back
it is not that I like it or not, I don't care, I am just telling you your options trying to give you useful tips and advise to work with what you have
if you want to drown in that glass of water it is up to you, you are free to use whatever app you want, I am totally cool with that, if ArcaneChat doesn't suit your needs, don't use it, when you get something for free your options are to take it or leave it 😁
@npub1k06ctulq8rcaen067tt6z3y6gxrqtsuje5em5lcn009zfpp0t7gqf0zyu9
if you are using ArcaneChat with some classic email account that allows unencrypted email, and that is why you need to copy the email address, then copy it from wherever you copied it to enter it in ArcaneChat to start with, you have that email and password saved somewhere, right?
that is not a main use case of ArcaneChat and my time will not be wasted on that, unless you PAY A LOT for me to add that to classic email accounts
@npub1k06ctulq8rcaen067tt6z3y6gxrqtsuje5em5lcn009zfpp0t7gqf0zyu9
(continuation)
yep the app will continue improving, the option to copy email address is not coming back, so you will not be receiving all the upcoming improvements tho
about webxdc, there is nothing wrong if app creators want to promote their political views in their apps, you have the option of not using them if you don't like them, there is no reason to censor them
@npub1k06ctulq8rcaen067tt6z3y6gxrqtsuje5em5lcn009zfpp0t7gqf0zyu9
that is a different story, as long as your opinion is not aggressively attacking someone, there is no reason to not allow, anyways, if you have complains about some app in the store, I am not the one making the rules, go to support.delta.chat and complain/report there
@npub1k06ctulq8rcaen067tt6z3y6gxrqtsuje5em5lcn009zfpp0t7gqf0zyu9 by "drowning in a glass of water" I meant putting barriers on yourself and magnifying problems bigger than what they are, the problem is not your feedback, but you have to learn to accept a "no" as answer, not all feedback and wishes can be accepted, and trust me, things are done for reasons and not just to annoy you
anyways, have a good day/night

Da fehlt noch der Punkt: "Was für eine Bank-App – und gibt es die auch 'libre'?" Solange es die nur im Spielzeugladen und beim Obsthändler gibt, werden wohl einige von uns damit nichts anfangen können 🤷♂️
Schon traurig, dass man sich von US-Diensten "unabhängig" macht, indem man sich an selbige bindet. Seltsame Logik…
Checked out a particular current dish washer model from Neff. Their website offers a 375 page (!) document full of Open Source licenses for it. For a fricking dish washer.
Yes that includes #curl.
Thanks for your toot!
The urge to connect every thing to the Internet astonishes me. I enjoy other people's observations and complaints about the Bidness World's belief that we are all idIoTs.
This thread reminded me of a story from a galaxy far, far away - timewise. Before the Internet. Even before FRED, the first PC. The story is "The Robot Millennia", in "Galaxies Like Grains of Sand" by Brian Aldiss, New American LIbrary (1960). It was prescient, and fun. But no IoT.
Will you be at #FOSDEM or in Brussels next week and want to meet some of the team? 👀

@Bri With only the vlc libs installed, I still get the following:
Could not play audio: 41, unsupported file format
Very odd. That's also without the deno path being loaded.

Ich habe mehrere Jahre Dualboot genutzt. Seit Windows 10 würde ich persönlich das nur noch versierten Benutzern empfehlen. Windows ist da eine ziemliche Schweinebacke und hat da keine Skrupel, dir z.B. nach einem Update mal kurz den Bootloader zu zerschiessen. Nicht lustig, für die " Nur-Anwender:in".
Daher, wenn möglich, Linux nach erfolgreichem Live-Test ab USB Stick beim Installieren die ganze Festplatte geben. Und falls doch noch zwingend ein Windows benötigt wird, dieses per Virtual Box o.ä. nutzen.
Das "sieht" man aber nicht vorher oder nur beim ausprobieren. Das läuft wunderbar nebeneinander, bis zu dem Punkt, wo Windows findet, es wäre mal an der Zeit, zu zeigen, wer der Donald auf der Kiste ist. Und dann tuts weh. Darum empfehle ich das für Umsteiger gar nicht mehr.

It makes sense that people who have completely abandoned their humanity want to replace humanity with software. The people pushing AI have no idea what art and music are.
They have no idea how a story can make a soul shiver and bend and laugh and weep.
They have no idea what it means to be truly human in this world, knowing that you are connected with all life.
They only want to replace humans with sickly, unthinking toys.
By producing content on a platform you are encouraging others to stay on that platform.
Think about this responsibility seriously.

I think people will get confused by the way you formulated the post "secure messaging app" that is why you will get recommendations for Delta Chat and other encrypted messengers, maybe better clarify you mean "secure SMS app" to avoid confusion, and btw I recommend you to give a try to #DeltaChat as replacement for Signal, no phone number or any data required, decentralized, good multi-device, etc.
for SMS I liked "QKSMS" but that was years ago, see successor:

Hello Mastodon!
I’m Avi Lewis and I’m running to be the next leader of the federal NDP. Very excited to be part of the Fediverse!
I’m running for NDP leader because it’s time for the NDP to return to its roots—fighting a system rigged for the rich that leaves the rest of us behind.
We can build a Canada based on care instead of greed, but only if we do it together. There are only 4 days left to join the NDP so you can vote in the leadership race, so get your membership before Jan 28th and let’s fight for a government that serves the many, not the money.
