rbits , 15 days ago to Technology in EU chat control law proposes scanning your messages — even encrypted ones

Making your own protocols means vulnerabilities are more likely. Better to use one that's been tested and audited (unless it's following something like this EU thing of course)

Ok, I mean if you're getting financially screwed by your partner in a divorce, it's probably a good thing that you're getting divorced.

To further explain, the joke is that "tomo tawa" could mean either "car" or "moving house"

I think you still need a phone number though. I think that's just for if you don't want to give out your phone number.

Yeah signal, telegram, and whatsapp all want phone numbers I think. And I don't think I'd be able to convince my mum to use Discord or Matrix. She'd probably end up using something like Facebook Messenger/Messenger Kids

The email vendor doesn't really matter though unless you are sending or receiving emails. Phone numbers require you to pay a carrier every month. And while most people have phone numbers, some don't, especially children.

My mum used iMessage to communicate with my sister before she got a phone number. If she switched to Android, I guess there's Google Chat, but you know how Google is with their chat apps.

Ideally you'd be able to choose between phone number OR email. Like iMessage.

rbits , 3 months ago to Technology in The lock-in problem at the heart of the Apple monopoly lawsuit

Yeah. It's not even the fact that they don't implement Nearby Share themselves that's bad, it's that the restrictions they impose on apps means that an app can't even implement Nearby Share themselves

rbits , 3 months ago to Technology in Meta just showed off Threads’ fediverse integration for the very first time

There is NO upside to federation with Threads. Zero.

That's a bit of an exaggeration. I don't think it will affect Lemmy at all, since it's a different type of posts. But in terms of Mastodon, it means a whole lot more content for Mastodon users, and a whole lot more people to follow. And also means that people can move to Mastodon while still having the audience that Threads provides.

Of course if you think that the downsides are worse than the upsides, then that doesn't really matter. But don't say there are NO upsides.

How do you set it up without a server. I can't get past this screen

Plexamp Select a Library screen

Edit: Also on that web page is says that downloads are locked behind Plex Pass, that's pretty vital...
