Chat control is back on track.... again in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] TCB13@lemmy.world -4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (7 children)

Telegram isn’t E2E encrypted and the telegram company can access all your messages, however, just think about the bigger picture there. How come that the E2E encrypted WhatsApp, Signal and whatnot never had their CEOs arrested for not moderating content / enabling criminal activity? Think about that.

Remember Cutefish? Pretty sure it's dead in c/linux@lemmy.ml

First they obliterate telegram (most likely the only ones that would not comply and still offer service in Europe, Facebook and Apple would just comply, Signal would drop Europe) and a few days later they restart talks on this.

Of course I am… and that’s the point. Librewolf is Firefox without the spyware.

making Firefox the most private and secure major browser

If calling home and to selected 3rd party analytics aren't part of the metric then yes, Firefox might be the most private. What proof, even they say they've telemetry.

Here's all the domain Firefox uses for telemetry: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MrRawes/firefox-hosts/firefox-hosts/hosts

So much for privacy.

Just move to LibreWolf.

If you don't turn on the secret chat feature it wont be, yes. However if E2EE was the only deciding factor for a gov to go against an App then they woudln't be going after Telegram. The fact that govts are going so hard at telegram simply proves that even when the company has access to all our chats they don't actually provide them to said govts.

I'm not saying telegram is good from a security perspective, I'm just saying that event without E2EE and all the modern wonders govts can't still get in because the company doesn't indulge their requests.

Any good Telegram alternative? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Maybe unintentional ways to leak data,

Yeah, that's what I think it may be. Just like Apple reporting on all apps you open on un-encrypted HTTP calls and a few other things.

I dint know many OO languages that don’t have a useless toString on string types

Okay, fair enough. Guess I never found about it because I never had to do it... JS also allows for "test string".toString() directly, not sure how it goes in other languages.

Angular: Deprecated/Removed Class-Based Guards and Resolvers (lemmy.world)
 

Hello,

In Angular 15, there was a deprecation of class-based Guards and Resolvers, which has sparked discussions regarding this decision. The deprecation of these interfaces is seen as a regression that goes against established software engineering practices. Some argue that there wasn't sufficient discussion on the topic.

Deprecated: Class-based Route guards are deprecated in favor of functional guards. An injectable class can be used as a functional guard using the inject function: canActivate: [() => inject(myGuard).canActivate()]

Deprecated: Class-based Route resolvers are deprecated in favor of functional resolvers. An injectable class can be used as a functional guard using the inject function: resolve: {'user': () => inject(UserResolver).resolve()}.

This move doesn't seem right and I started an issue here https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/50234 and there's also discussion about this here https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/47924.

To raise awareness and gather feedback from the community, I ask everyone to engage on the discussion.

Thank you.

Cryptomator: A Warning About Data Loss (lemmy.world)
 

Hello,

I'm just posting this as a warning to anyone using Cryptomator for serious stuff. I've been using it in not-very-critical stuff for some years now and the reality is that I've had data loss on multiple occasions under Windows.

I had two major incidents:

  • After creating a vault in Google Drive (via Cyberduck) it worked fine for some time but eventually the vault was empty;
  • Long file names seem to f*k something and the files simply vanish after opening the vault a few times.

If you google "cryptomator data loss" there are a LOT of complaints and frankly I'll ditch it now.
