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.

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

I don’t think being open matters here, it’s the part where it’s developed by big bad China.

All of these threats apply to other LLMs as well.

Calling that Hitman bullshit “confusing” is way too charitable.

Not too long ago Steam listed something called “Hitman 3” (they changed it now).
Imagine my surprise when it turned out to include only the game launcher, without any actual content that could be reasonably called “Hitman 3”. If you tried to start a mission they redirected you to buy it first…

Thank god for the refunds…

Hopefully it’s not an actual regression in the latest version, because that’d be terrible.

Yeah, I tried it for a bit 1 or 2 years ago and didn’t see much difference.

Only cool thing was the automatic summaries with sources, but the I found out LLM summaries are like everything else “AI” - unreliable, at best, so…

And besides… aren’t AI features getting pushed in Kagi heavily?

Weird idea to use it as an argument against Google and DDG, but conveniently ignore it for Kagi.

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.

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.

Did they also finally fix the AFK detection on Wayland?

OK, I guess you can leave lemmy now, because I’m sure you can judge entire website based on a single troll’s comment (and I guarantee you’ll find plenty on lemmy). Very smart!
