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:
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

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).
It’d be funny if the other companies caught in the crossfire now sued those LaLiga assholes for blocking their services.
How about both?
I’d expect the design to take into account this kind of issue, they’re only one of the most valuable companies in the world, surely they can afford some QA.
Until the GPU cooks itself anyway, because nvidia can’t admit their new power connector was a mistake.
I was in a similar situation, I just told them I’m cancelling the account when they added the extra charge for extra users, and they’re free to make their own account if they want.
There was a bit of complaining, but it turns out no one missed Netflix enough to come back.
I had that on my wishlist for a while, but they never go on sale. :(
I mean… when did it stop being huge?
It’s just back to business as usual.
Yes, and another big difference is that Bottles refuses to provide any kind of help to package maintainers.
According to maintainers’ comments on the Github project, they have to figure out how to build it by trial and error.
I was actually really surprised that there’s isn’t any kind of build documentation.
It’s pretty unusual.
I don’t think it’s understandable in this case, no.
The entire project depends on Wine, imagine if Wine devs restricted Bottles in what way they are allowed to use it just because Wine project doesn’t want to deal with bugs potentially introduced by the Bottles dev.
But they won’t, because of the license.
And neither can the Bottles devs.
If they want to have total control over their source code, fine, but then they cannot claim to be open-source and release it under GPL.
It’s kinda shitty, but after reading the other links in the post I can’t say it’s very surprising.
Bottles devs seem weirdly hostile to the idea of anyone repackaging their software, because apparently they’re the only ones that are able to do it properly.
edit: devs also refuse bug reports from any version that’s not Flatpak, so in this context removing the button doesn’t seem that unreasonable.
edit2: now that I’ve had a closer look at the PR mentioned in the post I’m not surprised at all.
Bottles devs are actively hostile. Apparently with this PR it’s impossible to run Bottles outside Flatpak without the package maintainers patching the code.
It’s going to be really difficult in a standard setup.
If you really care maybe try something like Tails.
Holy shit, this company is based in France and they’re publicly doxxing their users in the replies.
I don’t even know what to say, under GDPR they’re extra fucked now.
In my case it refused to ever mark me as idle, which meant I never got any notifications on mobile…
Works fine with a plugin, so clearly it can’t be that hard.
I checked mine, which is a fairly basic model, and it’s actually 400V.
