Fun experiment, but yeah, don't pipe an #LLM raw into /bin/bash
Buck #Shlegeris, CEO at #RedwoodResearch, a nonprofit that explores the risks posed by #AI , recently learned an amusing but hard lesson in automation when he asked his LLM-powered agent to open a secure connection from his laptop to his desktop machine. #security #unintendedconsequences
🎉 Exciting news! Hans de Goede just dropped a detailed blog post on his finished work on IPU6 camera support in Fedora 41: hansdegoede.dreamwidth.org/288…. Together, Hans and I have also ironed out all the issues with @pipewire camera support in @mozilla Firefox so it's ready for prime time! 🚀
It's extremely generous to say an app that requires providing your phone number is "anonymous", especially while giving an app that doesn't require any PII the exact same rating. 🧐
The most salient property is probably governance model and diversity of funding. Telegram can be leveraged easier because it is privately owned and top-down. It is harder to pressure an elected board esp. if members are in different countries. The technical component has to be solid, but that doesn't mean much if one person controls everything; c.f. the xz backdoor.
I'd suggest replacing the 'anonymous' column with 'requires PII'.
I prefer Matrix, but haven't heard of some of these.
Just a note that Signal is tied to a phone number. For that reason it can't be installed onto a computer or a tablet as a standalone option, only as an extention of a smart phone. Doesn't seem completely anonymous to me.
signal is not anonymous. The phone number can be associated with your name. I think part of the evaluation process should be the location of their servers.
Teleguard from swisscows has absolutely no association with your phone number and their servers are in Switzerland.
I think that you should drop Telegram completely. After the arrest of the Telegram founder, the founder agreed to hand over IP addresses and phone numbers from users who use his encrypted messanging platform to authorities on legal request. Here is the full privacy policy of Telegram: telegram.org/privacy?setln=en You can find this info in section 8 in privacy policy. Also Telegram is not end to end encrypted for audio and video calls, and for messages you need to enable it manually.
I didn't get past the paywall on this article yet, but I've seen in previous articles about the #VIA #HFR project that in the Fall the project will move to the next phase of design; actual building would still be years off, if the project proceeds at all.
@mpjgregoire our politicians are so much courage that the rail baron and landlord will be the one deciding... and we know what they want. And it's not efficient transportation.
Non-withstanding that I will see Western federal politicians from the failed petrostate cry foul because they don't get to
@driusan yup 2hrs. I used to commute 230km.... was a 1 hour platform to platform.
also was 20 years ago.
Not in Canada.
That would make Ottawa 50min and Quebec 1h from Gare Centrale. And Toronto 2 in a direct connection. Ottawa Toronto could be 1.5 hr (it's 404 km by road, done it many time)
Exciting update about the hackfest: We will now offer lunch for participants of the hackfest. 🍲
The lunch will cost about 8 Euros. A friend volunteered to cook for us with the deal that any extra funds would go to the local social bicycle association Efesta (efesta.net), which we both are part of.
The event will be so much bigger than I anticipated, already more than 15 people signed up.🎉
OUTDATED⚠️ Mozilla bought the Android email app K-9 (which didn’t include any trackers) and integrated trackers as part of #Mozilla‘s rebranding under the #Thunderbird name.
They even made it opt-out instead of opt-in. Their defense for breaking the law: ”we wouldn’t have enough data if we obeyed the law.“
It doesn’t matter whether you ”anonymized“ the data or not: If you want to extract data from someone’s device to yours, you may do so only if they knowingly consented. sigmoid.social/@davidculley/11…
The Thunderbird developers listened to their users and removed tracking entirely. Only the beta version of version 8 contained the telemetry. The final release no longer does, at least for now.

To our loyal customers, After 13 years we are making the difficult decision to sell SpeedDots. We are extending the offer to purchase to you, our community and customer base first, because we recognize that it is you who have helped us to last over the past decade and more. Without you supporting our products through referrals and purchasing, this company would not have lasted for this long, especially in such a niche market as the blind community. We have enjoyed creating a product that has benefited so many. Why are we selling? There are a few reasons: First, health. As most of you may know, we are a small company: a company of two to be exact. Both Doug and Amy have had significant challenges and changes in life circumstances which have made this necessary. Over the past year, Doug has been dealing with Long Covid. The result is that his health is such that he no longer has the physical energy to keep up with the demand of making and selling the tactile screen protectors and ensuring that orders are properly fulfilled and shipped out in a timely manner. In December of 2022, Amy was hired by the Blind Institute of Technology Sadly, this meant providing less help to Doug so much of the customer facing work was being sent his way along with making and shipping of products. This was a lot to juggle in addition to his health struggles. Next, changes in living situations for both have led to a problem with space. Read more via: speeddots.com/

in reply to Tuta • • •I see a big error to call messengers like Telegram or Signal to be "anonymous" when they require at least an active SIM card to set up an account
Getting an anonymous SIM is impossible in most countries now

in reply to Tuta • • •You're missing a very important column: Is it possible to join the network by running your own SERVER?
Any network that depends on a centrally controlled server has a single point of failure. (Yes, this is a recommendation of Element/Matrix.)
Also, ideally, identities should be possible to migrate like they (sort of) are on Mastodon and friends.

in reply to Tuta • • •certainly no telegram, if possible. but it became more than just messenger, unfortunately.
if it should be a channel, i guess matrix kinda works. maybe with Chinny client?
if (open) group chats, matrix as well. also signal, but the problem with signal is that it requires phone number (even if you can hide it).
if private messages, signal and matrix; simpleX seems nice, even though i didn't try it. threema is not free, so not everyone will be able to use it.
signal and matrix have their problems, but they're WAY better than
telegramkremlingram.don't know about wire and session much, can't really say anything about them.
