What a burn. By also: what the hell is moxie still doing on xitter? I mean I know he does not like federation, but he could use bluesky, you know...

[-] mkwt@lemmy.world 54 points 1 week ago

Sounds good to me. Just like Sun Java and their "not to be used to operate a nuclear facility" clause.

[-] IHeartBadCode@fedia.io 38 points 1 week ago

What? If that's true then why do they have AtomicBoolean?

[-] ChapulinColorado@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

That is such a bad take. You will want an AtomicLong to at least be able to measure the damage. This is not a black and white (true or false) situation!

3.6 Roentgen. Not great, not terrible.

Wasn't there something about json not being included in some form of foss library because it's tos forbade using it for "evil"?

In other news, Signal now protects its users by moderating any illegal content ..

.. oh wait, it's end to end encrypted .. so no .. it cannot.

I trust open source more than I do something like WhatsApp that is owned by Meta/Facebook. The source code is on Github and I assume if there ware any concerns we would know about it. Also there's safety numbers.

You can breath now 😊

[-] Evotech@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

How do you know the source code on GitHub is what is being ran in production?

[-] Kaiserschmarrn@feddit.org 31 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

For Android they have reproducible builds to verify that they are using the source code from their public repo for the app distributed via Google's Play Store.

Regarding the server software, it's not that easy but because of the Signal protocol you can be sure that messages are e2e encrypted and authenticated. They also have the sealed sender feature which hides the identity of the sender. So it shouldn't really matter what software a server is using.

[-] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago

Well you can still 'moderate' if the ends choose to be open.

[-] Natanael@infosec.pub 2 points 1 week ago

And you can ban identified bad users

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works -2 points 1 week ago

What are you trying to say here? It sounds like your against end to end encryption?

[-] vk6flab@lemmy.radio 5 points 1 week ago

The opposite. End to end encryption is what's preventing moderation.

If this was not the timeline I live in, I would laugh myself unconscious at that title.

Changelog titled "Added 'don't be a dick' rule to ToS"

I worked with Hegseth and he is like a wet raincoat

[-] easily3667@lemmus.org 8 points 1 week ago

So in your view...doing its job? I mean a raincoat is supposed to get wet, isnt it?

[-] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 5 days ago

not on the inside, no

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 9 points 1 week ago
[-] easily3667@lemmus.org 2 points 1 week ago

Easy just turn him inside out

[-] BlindFrog@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I imagine they meant Hegseth is as if the raincoat was wet in a way that just soaks you - the opposite of helpful. Useless, even.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago

Does this mean he was always drunk, or...?

[-] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 5 days ago

not so nice if the raincoat is drenched from the inside out. also I might have lied about knowing Hegseth, he's just so deeply unqualified for the job. It's fun to defame dickheads who have already defamed themselves far more than i could endeavor..

[-] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 week ago

Great move.

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 8 points 1 week ago

Weekend plans ruined.

[-] Gluca23@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

They should have added, in really small font, "For that you must use 4chan."
