Creating distros is easy, funding for the volunteers upstream is what’s lacking.

I hope the move also prompts them to start supporting upstream with funds, code, infrastructure, engineers, benefits and so on.

Why are you using an example molly client using unified push on a post about Signal?

Signal isn’t molly and cannot unified push at all.

Can you point to signal source code with this implementation?

Signal for android uses web sockets for notifications

Only in absense of google play services.

Signal is not on the official f-droid repo. Signal devs are very much against it.

Signal does not use Google’s notification service

This keeps being repeated in this thread unprompted and without source, are you guys trying something?

I think on android, signal do not use Google’s push notification.

Source?

Signal on Android does not use Google’s push notification service

Source? I’m pretty sure it falls back to a different mechanism when it doesn’t find google services. And that is only on the version downloaded from their website.

Just vassal states things.

Act tough on press, but gargle US balls behind doors.

Mainstream Android will likely go the same path but there’ll also probably be 10s of workaround and forks straight up saying fuck you, bitch.

You won’t have any other option on iOS other that to take the boot up yo a.

And you’ll probably use the usual “most people won’t do that, tho”. These are kids we are talking about and have you ever told a determined kid that they couldn’t do something?

This kowtowing the corporations and governments is how we got here and fuck people who bend the knee before even trying.

Gold colored Trump Router incoming

whereas apple is doing non-targeted ads.

Copium.

I don’t give their opinions on China, Russia, NK, Iran, Ukraine, any sort of credibility. I’ve been banned from some of their comms but they’re on point for pointing out the crimes and hypocrisy of the west, and there’s a lot of deliberate effort to minimize their reach.

Fuck em’ for defending authoritarianism but without them it’s all propaganda from mass mainstream media and whitewashing of the west.

tldr: Fuck tankies and wankies trying to whitewash their atrocities with concern trolling.

I’m entirely convinced the whole thing was invented to scam Meta.

Yes, it was suckerberg.

They stole it from us. Sneaky little lizardses

The trickle down economics is when the bubble bursts but only after billionaires have collectively raised trillions for themselves and you’re the ones to pay to bailout their companies.

Expect to see uptick in posts/comments critical of lemmy/fediverse because it’s critical of the USA.

Generally it’s framed as something else like UI, grammar, content, or people but with the goal of trying to dissuade people from using it.

The imperialists censorship works in multiple ways, by censoring content in their own platforms and also sowing distrust and reservation in platforms they don’t control.

ikr? Every phone and their browsers already has a dedicated share button. On desktop, it’s a simple copy/paste.

No real need to add more to the already suffocating websites.

Internet has been on last breathe since few companies started controlling the internet discourse since 2010s.

Fediverse is, i think, adding a new life back. Forums are back, microblogging your mind without being censored by laws of a few countries is back. Static blogs are making a comeback. I don’t care how big, small or popular these instances are, they are lively as ever.

Here, you are no longer under whims of Facebook, Xitter, Google, Tumblr, or Reddit. If an instance bans you, just move your data to another. You may not be able to escape them entirely but there are more options than there’s ever been.

You can be a doomer all you want. For me, internet is rejuvenating without the control of few companies and countries. Yesz there’s slop everywhere, there are also gems if you find them.

The anti-AI sentiment here is proof Internet is not dead or we’d be getting told you’re crazy if you don’t just accept it because shareholders said so. That’s not the case yet.

For the threat models and data harvesting the general consumer (i.e. our moms) will face

If your mom is going to install facebook, X and instagram to post all personal details and photos away along with all the permissions app requests. I don’t think it matters?

Are you talking about security? What else is Android secretly supplying these apps?

Let’s stop perfect getting in the way of better.

“Let’s just giveaway more leeway for corporations, so we can get more accustomed to losing our rights, until we have to jump off the cliff for the lesser evil”

Apple fanboys were proud they had no ads, Apple put on ads. They said they fight the government, they work with authoritarian governments around the world. They said they care about user privacy, they were funneling notifications to directly to the US government.

Yea, keep defending these knucklefucks, they’re totally not trying to manufacture consent for global surveillance while you’re given the illusion of “lesser evil” and losing ownership of devices you bought.

Downvote away, cult.

Israel liked this comment.

Modern day threats are not always visible like your computer flashing naughty stuff on your screen or overtaking your computer. Those exists but it’s more about surveillance and control of information.

Especially when companies like Google, Apple and Microsoft are in on it. US and Israel probably already get your files, but if you don’t update, Russia, China, and North Korea will probably will set up shop inside your PC.
