oh my... maybe not all news will be bad this year

"Motorola announces a partnership with GrapheneOS Foundation, marking a new chapter in smartphone security and expanding its enterprise portfolio"

the year is 2069: your #Telegram chat shows a huge ad banner that covers most of the screen, that together with the constantly moving stickers with flashing explosions and effects in the "premium store showcase" section only leaves space for a single message bubble so you communicate with voice messages instead of text

#enshittification

@dansup fixed one of the images for you

@16af93 pgp.fail has zero to do with #DeltaChat, none of the stuff discussed there affect Delta Chat, even @soatok just replied something making clear also their post has nothing to do with delta chat but when using classic email software

the only thing we are coping here is with confused people like you misunderstanding everything and barking at the wrong tree

@soatok what I don't get is why you take this opportunity to attack #pgp in general, like taking the opportunity to push for some agenda, the site is called gpg.fail, GPG not PGP, most of the problems are related to gpg or some C code implementation bug, or using gpg and others in the command line and getting tricked by some ansi printing in the terminal, how that translates to "let's kill pgp"? ex. none of the listed problems affect #DeltaChat at all

(I was present in the gpg.fail talk btw)

@jae literally me every morning

@Lydie that is good, but showing how to install #linux in that machines would be even better

@tmw keep an eye on #DeltaChat, it is super user friendly and easy to onboard family and video calls are coming! there is already prototypes version with call feature

I said this yesterday and now #signal is down due to #AWS problems, maybe now people should read again

@ivantodorov yeah, #DeltaChat is more user-friendly, but it doesn't have ringing calls (yet!) but we are working on them right now!

@kariboka

I have never liked #Signal, being centralized is enough for me to consider it not an option at all, enshittification is bound to happen to any centralized service, and this doesn't sound good already:

"Signal just rolled out centralized backups, and the guy who announced it has quite the resume. Jim O'Leary, Signal's VP of Engineering since 2019, spent the previous eight years building surveillance infrastructure at Twitter and Facebook."

#decentralization is the way

@debacle the bridge would render end-to-end encryption totally useless tho, so at that point better just send a plain text email, SMS or whatever

people trying to agree on the best #decentralized messaging solution 😁

Looking to move away from #WhatsApp ? take a look at #ArcaneChat and #DeltaChat

#europeanalternatives

@leberschnitzel but it is the same!!! you still have the extra confirmation, if there is no lock you have the confirmation that the message is encrypted, when it is not encrypted it will have an email/envelope icon, so you still have the confirmation nothing changed or got weakened, just that the icon now is in the unencrypted messages instead of the encrypted ones, encryption is what is normal and don't need to be marked, unencrypted is the special bad situation and that is marked

@delta

@gianmarcogg03 it is easy to get it, there is a #bot in #DeltaChat that allows to get #sticker packs from #signal

just send the sticker pack URL shared in the post to this bot:

@Mastodon

@Mastodon I added them to #DeltaChat

btw, the mastodon banging on the computer with "error" on the screen when there is a mastodon error is a low-hanging fruit sticker material was expecting to find it in the pack :D
