Pretty sure it dates back to the dawn of commerce.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Sheesh, the US is sure getting scary. Well, it's a good thing it would be impossible to trace Signal to someone via metadata like a phone number, right?
489·15 days agoMore anti-signal propaganda? Who is claiming it can’t be associated to a user. The messages are private, not anonymous.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•RED ALERT: The US house of reps is making a lot of progress toward their goal of mass surveillance with complete KYC
1·27 days agoI do each to the extent that I can, but it is a bit more difficult outside the country. And what actions we do each take isn’t always something we want to post about online. At any rate, petitions won’t do it.

12·28 days agoGenerally need a reason to do something. Don’t see how signing this moves the needle. Protest and contact congressmen. Internet petitions won’t save you. Collective action irl, strikes, and raising hell might.

7·1 month agoIt also matters if you value organizations changing terms after attracting a community and changing to non-transparent solutions while claiming to be “open”. It matters if your values are different.
But you’re right too. If not logging in, your liability is probably not changing.

5·1 month agoNice. This is one of a few promising forks. I think they’re on Codeberg too.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•About GitHub and how they want to improve PR management with all that GenAI noise
4·1 month agoThis is a really good article and refreshing to see this being recognized as the double edged sword it is (albeit with one edge much sharper than the other). It will be interesting to see how different organizations deal with this. The temporary interaction limitation will be a bandaid in some cases but the deluge will just keep coming.
I’ve been interested in Mitchell Hashimoto’s new trust tooling. I’m not sure it will become a standard, but is a very interesting attempt, and dead simple.
Cool strawmen; I didn’t say any of that. Signal protocol is awesome for privacy, not anonymity. Maybe I don’t have half a brain, but I happen to think the double ratchet implementation is an impressive piece of tech. Maybe I’m as dumb as your fever dream, but compromised exits doesn’t make tor any less of an achievement. Though i2p is also superb. I guess my brain is too weak to understand why those statements are mutually exclusive.
It isn’t. But I see this same post over and over. Really feels like there is a campaign against signal. Also tor developed by US Naval Research, so I guess it’s bad too.


Yeah ok but zen is actually pretty good for a free browser.
