Hahahahaha! #WhatsApp survey question I just received asks:
'How visually appealing is WhatsApp’s design (that is, the way the app looks) to you?'
Just "released" the first usable version of #Convo, an #XMPP messaging app for #KaiOS and #JioPhone feature phones! 
git.disroot.org/badrihippo/con…
I was hoping to release a more complete version as 1.0, but that's taking a while, and people are already starting to use it as it is (especially with the impending shuttering of #WhatsApp on KaiOS) so I decided to get this out right away 📦
I've also submitted to the #BananaStore, so hopefully it should be out there soon 🍌

By popular request, #Voiceover no longer reads phone numbers of #WhatsApp group participants who aren’t in your contacts, and just reads the push name. You can still read the phone number on their contact info page, or by swiping up to the “message <phone number>” option in the actions rotor. This should make catching up with your groups much faster and more efficient! Thanks so much for your feedback, please keep sending it.

#WhatsApp for #Windows lets Python, PHP scripts execute with no warning
Granted, Python needs to be installed on the system prior.
Meta says they will not bother to fix this, despite maintaining a built-in list of potentially dangerous file types (ex: .exe)
«Damit die Attacke gelingt, muss allerdings Python auf dem Zielgerät installiert sein. Daher sind in erster Linie Softwareentwickler und Poweruser anfällig für diese Sicherheitslücke.»

NEW: WhatsApp will soon make it possible to chat with people who use other messaging apps. It's revealed some more details on how that will work.
— Apps will need to sign an agreement with Meta, then connect to its servers.
— Meta wants people to use the Signal Protocol, but also says other encryption protocols can be used if they can meet WhatsApp's standards
— WhatsApp has been testing with Matrix in recent months, although nothing is agreed yet. Swiss app Threema says it won't become interoperable

Meta thinks your #privacy is for sale.

Quick Tip: Disabling Video Message Recording on WhatsApp - Accessible Android

Mainstream social media and messaging apps (#Facebook, #WhatsApp, #Instagram etc) are a nightmare for our personal data and freedoms.
We have #FreeSoftware replacements for most of these services but maintaining these services has recurring cost and effort.
diasp.in is a community project supported by volunteers. We offer #diaspora, #matrix and #xmpp services.
If we don't find enough volunteers by October 31st, we will be forced to shut it down.

Today, two open letters from academics on the scientific arguments against the current #CSS (client side scanning) initiatives have been released:
* The first (in English, internationally coordinated) one is online at tinyurl.com/CSAScientistsLette… and still open for additional signatures.
* The second (in German, by #Austrian academics) one is online at ins.jku.at/chatcontrol/ and explicitly includes law experts in addition to the arguments from a security, privacy, and AI perspective.
This debate is expected to gain new steam with #Spain taking over the EU council presidency, given recently leaked statements like "Ideally, in our view, it would be desirable to legislatively prevent EU-based service providers from implementing end-to-end encryption" (wired.co.uk/article/europe-bre…).
Please boost on any channels you deem adequate. The discussion is still open, and we have little time to bring it to a more rational level.

Leaked Government Document Shows Spain Wants to Ban End-to-End Encryption
In response to an EU proposal to scan private messages for illegal material, the country's officials said it is “imperative that we have access to the data.”Lily Hay Newman (WIRED UK)
#Meta is well known for how it removes its competitors from its way. If they can't easily crush them with their size, they buy them young - #whatsapp and #instagram come to mind. Meta has money, and they don't want anyone in their way. Buyouts are the easiest solution.
But the Fediverse cannot be bought. No one controls it. It's a collection of servers, each with its own operators and principles. There is nothing central that Meta can control here...
...except for one: the #protocol.
