Man, deep packet inspection is some crazy stuff.

Good implementation can identify the type of traffic within seconds with scarily good accuracy.

Quite a few countries actually implement this in their national ISP’s infrastructure to block VPNs, so the citizens can’t access non-approved websites.

People being excited about getting spam from a scammer.

What a time to be alive…

It wouldn’t.

USA tried to keep the encryption all to itself in the past by classifying it as munitions, it didn’t work out.

And criminals don’t care if encryption is banned anyway.

I’m not excusing burning down innocent people’s property

I’m not excusing burning down innocent people’s property, but Teslas are not cheap.

I doubt anyone who’d lose one would have their life destroyed.

No, no, I’m thinking about scheduling them!

I thought it was gonna be 6 years of attempting to schedule an appointment.

Thanks a lot for testing it, really nice to see a mandatory wait after release is not necessary anymore.

The issue seems a bit misrepresented by the dev.

The mentioned section of the privacy policy is true only for the logged in users that have agreed to voluntarily share their data.

Without logging in they don’t even store a single cookie on my device.

Ten years is plenty of time to implement a launcher, or at least give a planned timeline

Or to give literally any kind of update, like admitting it was never seriously planned.

I’d like that to be “new”, but… It’s not exactly the first time this exact thing happened in tech.

That website actually promotes Firefox, you know. Not sure it fits this thread.

Thank you for being one person in this thread that actually read and understood my comment.

A bunch of comments repeating “Signal is the most secure because I said so” was not helpful.

Sure, buddy.

Maybe you should read the comments you’re replying to first.
If you can’t do that much then maybe you just shouldn’t comment at all.

I’ll simplify it for you:

1. Did I suggest Signal is not secure? No.
2. Did the OP make a claim Signal is somehow the most secure chat on the planet based on non existing sources pulled out of his ass? Yes.

Discussion quality on Lemmy starts looking like Reddit now.
Almost feels like home…

OK, and how is that different from the other chats?

You do know that at least Signal and Matrix use pretty much the same crypto, right?

And Matrix can be self-hosted, so I don’t need to worry about what they can see anyway.
On this point alone Matrix appears more secure than Signal…

And Threema is Switzerland-based, so by default it’s more trustful than a USA-based company.

Signal is the most secure

[citation needed]

Yes.

It also gets some free publicity by claiming to be federated/decentralized without the user having to make any actual choices in regards to a server (because there isn’t really any choice).

the alternative is around the same price

You know that’s not true.

There are stupidly expensive Android flagships, but there are also a lot of phones for a fraction of the price.

I mean, maybe it is, but if so then it’s way above my level. :D

I’m not a native speaker either, but I see maybe one minor mistake. I think that person is overreacting, or maybe just doesn’t actually know English grammar that well.
