We need a fully community run password manager with row-level server synchronisation between devices and shared vaults. Maybe a new client for the Bitwarden protocol with Vaultwarden or something new. E.g. 1password’s secret key as a second factor is, imho, their best feature. It pretty much eliminates the possibility of the vault being decrypted due to a weak master password.

Yup, makes sense, since Android is also Linux

AFAIK, the main difference is that Firefox’s process isolation on Linux specifically is incomplete. They’re working on fixing that.

Honestly, a very impressive move. Makes me way more confident in the trajectory of the company and I’m happy to have been a visionary user for multiple years.

I wonder, though, just how much of Proton A.G. does the foundation now own? They say it’s the largest shareholder, but they didn’t say “majority shareholder”.

Donald?

You know, the guy on the internet might have also been doing stuff all that time

Probably has something to do with fewer political posts

From my experience of getting other people on Signal, the main issue is that not everyone is already on it. People generally want to use only one app and it attracts them to the most popular one because they don’t need to switch as much.

Secondary issues are:

• No automatic phone transfer (no cloud backups, has to be done manually)
• No large public channels

I might add another one, but it applies to WhatsApp too - it’s crazy that there’s still no easy way to move between iOS and Android…

Wdym “boring”, what do you want a messenger app to do? It does what it’s there for and it does it well.

1password should just open source its apps. IMHO, security and infrastructure software has no business being closed source.

Yeah.

Personally, I care about the phone number requirement not because I don’t want to reveal it to Signal servers, but because it limits access to Signal for people in countries that block their SMS service - registration messages just don’t arrive

This is important context. Signal needs to make phone numbers optional…

Make phone numbers optional and add a setting to allow/forbid accounts with no phone number to message you. I bet phone numbers have zero effect on the level of spam.

YARRRRRR!!!

Yeah, afaik, it only goes through TURN servers. The thing with direct Wifi or Bluetooth is that you almost never need it. Most of the time you will be messaging people on different networks. If you want more pure mesh options, check out Jami.

Haha, that’s cool

I wonder if they could now make floppy disks with the same form factor but modern tech
