That was also a hack on Twilio. Signal itself wasn’t compromised in any way if I am not wrong.

Signal fiasco?

What does itoddlers mean?

No idea. Someone in lemmy seem to have a grudge against me and seem to have set up bots to downvote my posts. They are not counted by kbin though, so I am alright. Let them have their fun lol

You have understood us well!

This looks really good! Thanks for suggesting this.

Discord is not FOSS and is a privacy nightmare.

‘Maya’ means ‘illusion’ or ‘magic’, and not really ‘deception’ as OP says.

This might be true, but I will take anything that comes from Larry Sanger with a pinch of salt. Dude has been pretty much exclusively hanging out with right wing nutjobs since 2020 and was at one point spreading misinformation against Covid-19 vaccines.

This is a good explanation, thanks.

I still use them for my TV and AC remotes, flashlights and wall clocks.

I never realised that many people don’t need to use it anymore.

This is the perfect amount of cringe. Well done!

TIL that there are dangerous unicode characters…

Its very rare for me to find a bug on Signal. The app has been really stable over the past few years. In the rare occasions when I did come across one in the past, I reported them in the support forum.

Oh that’s my bad. I never actually realised that they are no longer open source. Am I being downvoted in lemmy.ml? If yes, then I have no idea why and don’t really care lol. I would happily support each of the projects I mentioned.

If I use WhatsApp Web, will Meta be able to see the contents of my WhatsApp messages?

Just as much as they would be able to see the contents of your messages when you use the app. The answer to this question depends on how much you trust Meta to stick to their claims. As others have already said here, use Signal if you are looking for a private messenger.

Kbin, Mastodon, Signal, CryptPad, Bitwarden Libre Office, Paint.NET, OpenShot, Audacity, F-Droid

Yes, that one could be misinterpretation. But there are also more problematic behaviours listed in the lawsuit:

The legal action, filed in Los Angeles on Tuesday, includes allegations the dancers were “forced to endure sexually denigrating behaviour” and were “pressured into participating in disturbing sex shows” between 2021 and 2023.

Among the claims against Lizzo - whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson - are that she “pressured Ms Davis to touch the breasts” of a performer in a nightclub in Amsterdam, and Ms Davis - after resisting - eventually acquiesced “fearing it may harm her future on the team” if she didn’t do so.

The case also alleges that staff working for BGBT scolded dancers for “unacceptable and disrespectful” behaviour while working on the tour, without specifying what that behaviour was.

The dancers allege that “only the dance cast - comprised of full-figured women of colour - were ever spoken to in this manner, giving [the dancers] the impression that these comments were charged with racial and fat-phobic animus”.

Additionally, it alleges the dance team’s captain, Shirlene Quigley, pushed her Christian beliefs on performers and derided those who engaged in premarital sex.

She is also accused of openly discussing one of the former dancers’ virginity, and posting about it on social media.

That is true.
