Signal Login now enables phone-number-free registration in Android Beta 8.28.1, with iOS support planned later. 📱
The optional signup costs $2.99/€3.49 once and uses zero-knowledge proofs to unlink payment from accounts. 🔐

Dear Friends who are kewl,
Well I am not cool. Too infirm, feeble and decrepit, especially pre-breakfast...
But in case you are a coolist:
1) I thought I had Thunderbird on my #Linux desktop. No. Wrong. Fail!
2) Instead I had #Deltachat AND LO and Behold. I managed (finally) to get it working [Sounds of #mad #heroic lobster gleeful yelping]
3) I even bypassed 'do know evil' Goo-gle and Apple (pronounced 'appal') sign in (which I don't have/use anymore) and...
4) ...Setup a new #email account in European Canada 🌈
Ye Gods and Elders of the Internet! I may still have a few olde leet nerdiness in me... ✅

Das Instant Messaging Dilemma
Dieses Video basiert natürlich auf keinem echten Dialog... aber... er könnte trotzdem in ähnlicher Art stattfinden.

WhatsApp Gets a Handy @all Feature for Group Chats

Verschlüsselt, aber falsch: Gruppenchats anfällig für manipulierte Inhalte
Alle Mitglieder eines Gruppenchats sollten dieselben Inhalte sehen. Die üblichen Chat-Dienste stellen das nicht sicher. Das ist riskant.

Everyone talks about end-to-end encryption, but that's only one piece of the privacy puzzle.
I compared 14 messaging apps using the LINDDUN privacy threat modeling framework, evaluating them across seven privacy threats:
• Linkability
• Identifiability
• Non-repudiation
• Detectability
• Data disclosure
• Unawareness
• Non-compliance
The results challenge many common assumptions about apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, iMessage, Discord, Threema, Session, SimpleX, Briar, Cwtch, Matrix, Wire, and others.
If you care about metadata, anonymity, surveillance resistance, or privacy by design, this guide is for you.

Wie kriegt man am schnellsten ein Foto vom PC, das man zum Status bei Whatsapp machen will zu diesem Status?
Whatapp Desktop nicht funktioniert nicht bei mir und unterstützt sowieo Status nicht.
In der Desktopapp von #signal eine Story setzen.
Auf dem #Handi diese Story Teilen und mit #Whatsapp teilen. Dann klappt das auch mit dem Status 😎

For everyone who needs encrypted communication in crisis times: Briar has an offline mode and works via Bluetooth and WiFi.
It also works if someone turns off the Internet or cellphone connection. 😉
(Of course it only works over large areas if lots of people have it installed)
Spread the word!

i know the Orange Tumor loves seeing his image on everything, but personally I hate looking at it
Instead, let’s make it so when he sees his image, he sees himself the way we do
i encourage others to print his bio across his face so we don't have to look at it, but we can still see what he is
