Their stance if someone is interested https://mastodon.world/@mwadmin/110654590632768079

They basically won't do anything preemptively.

Obviously. It's linked to Instagram, so it's gonna be a another playground for "influencers" to milk their fans.

There are a few Firefox forks:

  • LibreWolf
  • Waterfox
  • Arkenfox

And then there is Brave which I find smoother than Firefox, but that's just me.

It requires 71 permissions, which is pretty much full access to your device.

What are your thoughts on password managers?

They are mandatory in current digital age.

Do you use one?

Yes. Bitwarden.

Would you recommend it to others?

Already do and most are receptive to it once you show them that every single one of them were caught up in a breach at some point.

Signal is great for one on one conversations or small groups. Matrix is better served for communities as federation offers censorship resitance, but they collect some metadata that Signal doesn't. They do have encrypted DMs, but it's less user friendly than Signal and if your partner is not tech savvy, I would go with Signal.

Signal has 2 points of concern:

  • Phone number requirement
  • Centralized server (one point of failure)

I use both for different groups of people. E.g. My Matrix account is publically listed on my Lemmy account, but my Signal one is only given to people I trust to some level.

It's Google delays not from the dev side. Google needs to build and sign it, but that depends on the overall traffic. So their timeline is always up in the air. Same goes for F-Droid, they also need to build the app and then sign it it can take up to 4 days depending if you miss the set time cycles.

I'm fine with copyright, but it should end when the author dies instead of extending x years after the death. But patents should be limited to a few years after product release and the loopholes closed. Right now some patents can be extened infinitely.

Just create new file called LICENSE in the root directory and and paste the license text into it.

Only if you are on Android 13. There is an open issue for it https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/755

It's great, problem is adoption with non tech people. You clearly had better luck with your friends and family than most. It's hard enough to get them to use something as standard as Signal.
