ALBW is so good! Really fun in 3D.

What’s that console on the bottom of the photo that looks like a 3DS, but isn’t?

Retroid Pocket Flip, it seems.

Nice try NSA.

You don’t even know what you’re talking about. Security features of Intel chips? The encryption happens on each phone. Phones don’t have Intel chips on them. The server is only a relay. The encryption algorithm is open source and security experts say it’s good encryption. The code is right in the APK and anyone can look at it.

There is no way for me as a user to see who your contacts are by using Signal. Obviously, since it uses phone numbers and not accounts, the people operating the server know who you are messaging. But other users have no idea.

NSA Cloud Servers? I highly doubt that. Using a packet sniffer it’s easy to see which IPs your phone is talking to. I doubt an of them are “NSA cloud servers”. Once your encrypted packets are sent, though, it’s impossible to know how they are routed before they go to your recipient. I assume the government knows exactly who I message, and I don’t care about that. It’s friends and family. If you care about that, then don’t use it.

Get your facts right if you want to be an anti-Signal advocate because right now you just sound like a lunatic.

There’s nothing about the content being federated that makes it hard or impossible to index. Each instance is just a website with a public webpage that a bot can read. That all a search engine needs to index it. The worst case scenario is the bot will find the same content on multiple instances.

I did read that the website is loaded entirely through JavaScript and that maybe the Google bot doesn’t execute JavaScript so can’t see the text. I don’t know if that’s still a problem in 2023, though.

This article says it’s not a problem, but I didn’t read past the tl;dr, so maybe there’s a caveat. Like maybe it has to use a popular framework like React or something to work.

“Tileable” is a better term to use in the future.

I made a post and got “network error”, but it turns out it went through anyway. Took three tries to not get the error, so I ended up making three posts. Had to delete the two extras.

It’s not always about being decent. Sometimes people doxx themselves by accident, and should be allowed to delete their comments. Especially if they start getting harassed by some nut. Sometimes stalkers can piece together info from old comments.

If they do delete it and it doesn’t make the content irretrievable, I’m not sure they can edit the comment at that point to remove the info. They will now have lost control of it.

I realize that deleting isn’t perfect because of archive sites, screenshots, and whatever else. But at the very basic level, people should be able to actually delete their comments.

What a hypotenuse!

I don’t see why a delete command couldn’t be federated in exactly the same way an upvote or comment is.

Speaking of not fast… I just got 8 comment replies in my inbox that were made up to 3 days ago.

Defederate unequivocally.
