And /48 IPv6 subnet included! As it should be!

smileyhead OP ,

You should know LastPass had many security incidents in last years and they seem not to learn from their mistakes.

smileyhead ,

I had to give up Gandi, because with new interface we cannot use their services without propietary code running :/.

smileyhead ,

But maybe the one on this photo.

smileyhead ,

Would be great for a plane!

smileyhead ,

Chrome is the Internet Explorer of the browsers.

smileyhead ,

Maybe he/she means holding innovation back.

smileyhead ,

SMS is hard to have on multiple devices and it is hell of a work to become SMS provider. Internet based messaging is better in a every single way.

Even the network range is now not an advantage, as 3G is shutting down in many regions.

smileyhead ,

This is whole other category :)

smileyhead ,

And the player above is the problem that you can’t send messages to someone on WhatsApp withour having their app too…

smileyhead ,

WhatsApp functionality is closer and closer to functionality of XMPP 10 years ago.

Maybe after another 10 years they finally adopt [email protected] function.

smileyhead ,

Telegram’s frontend apps*

smileyhead ,

The point is that anyone could switch at any time and we wouldn’t have to make switch all at once.

There would be real competition.

smileyhead ,

Messaging app that needs to have a lot of users in order to be usable is shit.

No ability to send a message to user of other app should be the biggest disadvantage.

smileyhead ,

Signal is encryption protocol, for messaging WhatsApp uses locked down XMPP.

smileyhead ,

What is the other person has a phone with different app preinstalled? What if you change your phone?

smileyhead ,

Really good that the sales number is low. Replacing a phone every 2 years, with every next being less and less user friends is not a good sign.

smileyhead ,

Installing operating systems.

smileyhead OP ,

I do similliarly, but my question was about the situation when there are more admins with access to server. Would you create one account for everything or how else to manage it?

smileyhead ,

RCS has open spec, but implemanting it means dealing with phone networks and their policy. Also limiting operating systems like Android and iOS and a blocking factor.

No need to push it. Good old XMPP is better in every single way and exists since 1999. No tied to phone number, stable, proven, available on any device, with encrypted group calls and easy to host yourself.

smileyhead ,

They have their own iMessage.

smileyhead ,

A worse version of ActivityPub

smileyhead ,

Official one, Tusky and for advanced users is Fedilab.

smileyhead ,

Or Hod forbit managing IPv6 local space on Windows.

smileyhead ,

They’re going to rewrite Element Android/iOS from scratch and it’s looking cool. Desktop apps are going in great direction, with NeoChat, Fractal and Nheko, I see improvements month by month. Calls are still only good working on Element Web, hope that would change.

smileyhead ,

And how can we be sure it’s doing what it says? It’s software, on most phones you don’t control software that is running above apps layer.

smileyhead ,

Apps can have denied permission from the system, but the operating system can toggle it back for itself or just lie to you.

The only defence agains manufacturer is having free software OS. And the only way against third-party malware are hardware switches.

smileyhead ,

If at least Linux kernel were GPLv3 we’ll be safe from OEMs preventing unlocking bootloader.

If whole Android was GPLv3… Too good to even imagine, it’s not going to happen anyway so why even imagine…

smileyhead ,

Net neutrality is about Internet itself. Twitter/X is a service build on top of the Internet, so no.

It is for example when your Internet provider Gomes you 100Mb/s, but only when accessing these particular sites, otherwise it’s 1Mb/s. It has nothing to do with data caps or overall speed limit, as some suggest, or with speed on the other end.

smileyhead ,

It’s the only component that would wear out no matter how you use the phone.

smileyhead ,

Can’t want to be able to buy used phone and just pop in new battery. Still we need a law to allow easier mobile operating systems development for third-parties.

smileyhead ,

Mobile Linux seems to carry it really good

smileyhead ,

Besides fact you will be running privileged services 24/7 with Internet and location access, it is quite usable.

Don’t forget to turn off WiFi scanning. This feature is for Google to create WiFi hotspot maps by using your devices, but it also constantly leak your location to them.

smileyhead ,

I recommend anyone having to use phone with Google system-baked services to connect to Internet only via some portable OpenWRT router with strict firewall rules and allowlist only.

smileyhead ,

LineageOS does not have WiFi scanning unless you flash Google Play Services on top of it.

smileyhead ,

WiFi scanning is not nessesary for location to work and as a proof we can use any other app other than Google Maps on deGoogled phone just fine.

This option is officially used to build convinient location history on Google Maps and Google Photos and for building WiFi map for Google’s database. Both with creepy consequence - leaking 24/7 location of every Android phone by default.

smileyhead ,

Everyone giving you simple one-word explenation is most probably wrong.

smileyhead ,

Steam build-in browser is Chromium.

And Discord desktop app is a whole Chromium web browser with disabled tabs panel running only one website (app.discord.com).

smileyhead ,

Vivaldi is Chromium based too

smileyhead ,

Build in browser is Chromium and I think Big Picture mode can be too

smileyhead ,

It is, good luck hard forking such a huge codebase.

smileyhead ,

Still doesn’t solve the problem of being fully relient on Google for codebase.

smileyhead ,

Exaclly money and manpower. Noone is going to do it.
