Sounds much better than “Amazon surveils keystrokes of its IT workers”!

croc is not bad:

There’s no law in existence that requires them to store metadata or hand anything over to the feds. They have been subpoenaed several times and it always comes out the same: the only data they have is what I detailed above. Even if they DO have it (which they don’t) they don’t provide it, which is effectively the same thing.

It is just enough that this metadata be handled within the computing environment of Amazon. Their refusal for anyone use their own server and federate with “their” (as in captive) users also prevents anyone for using it in any other way…

If you dont see that Signal requires that its users use a strong-selector phone# in order to use the service, there is nothing i can do for you.

Evidence is: Signal still requires a phone# that is your unique identifier. Thus when connecting two parties, it is bound to have identifying metadata about them. (and that Signal still operates within AWS cloud, and is bound by US law: FISA, Patriot Act, etc.) How much more than this do you need?

You’re lying.

Thanks! :)

But no. Happened to several friends of mine, out of the blue: phone# verification to their signal account. Therefore when accusing people of lying… you are lying! :)

It’s not just about “having your phone number”, it is indeed relating it to the phone numbers of all the people you interact with, and (at least) processing these data in the RAM of amazon servers while promising they do not use or store it. It is strongly identifying “strong selector” metadata that is incompatible with the protection of users’ privacy.

You can call me a lier, but you better check your sources.

usernames is just for users. it is just a display thing. Signal still require that you use a phone# to sign up, and that you keep owning and paying for that SIM over the years in order to be able to verify it at random intervals…

despite being a very anti-privacy feature (esp. from a US company, funded initially bu US gov, who still forces its users to have their metadata stored on a US cloud…), it is also very much anti-user as in many cases around me, people who opened Signal accounts with some SIM card some day later traveled abroad, changed life, etc… and one day were asked to verify their account. (this is in some case what prompted their migration towards other communication networks…)

by “FOSS” you mean compatible with the core values of free/libre software?

This rules out Signal because: 1/ some of its server software is proprietary 2/ they dont allow you to communicate with “their” users if you want to run the server software yourself 3/ the prevented authors of free/libre software in the past to distribute their software (find a fdroid/signal thread) 4/ in practice they channel their users through their centralized servers hosted on AWS

(and that’s without evoking their questionable funding, and long lasting commitment to make all their users identifiable through phone number, 10+y after US generals declared “we kill people based on metadata”…)

Simplex seems to me like the one really ticking all the boxes.

lentils! chick peas! beans! legumes in general, they are great! you can integrate them into anything…

(ie. cook a bunch of lentils to eat warm with whatever veggies you can steam… but leftovers the next day are turned into a salad, etc. )

Coming from someone at the helm of a new reactionary movement, that’s pretty tasty!

yeah you need to know the password or secret handshake (like a protocol handshake) to be let in! :)

“porte” in French means a door.

Imagine each port is a door, all neatly aligned… some of them can be opened and lead to something… (a service)

cooking! finding out about good ingredients and how to make them even better! fermenting too…

music is life <3

something you cooked from the bottom of your heart, inspired by that person, improvising with seasonal ingredients, with a touch of crazy zestiness (lime, ginger, chili)? something that would taste delicious and show how inventive and thoughtful you are!

me too! <3
