(Element's blog post about the fork)
Cryptographers are searching for encryption schemes that can withstand attacks from both classical and quantum computers, as the emergence of quantum computing poses a threat to current encryption methods. They have yet to find a problem that is provably hard for computers to solve. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is working on post-quantum encryption algorithms, with CRYSTALS-Kyber being recommended for public use by 2024.
This article discusses the history of encryption, the rise of quantum computing as a threat, and the challenges in finding quantum-resistant cryptographic schemes. It emphasizes the need to strike a balance between mathematical complexity and practical implementation for data security in the future. Cryptographers continue to search for encryption methods that can resist both classical and quantum computer attacks, given the uncertainty in the future of data security.
Meredith Whittaker, Signal's President, discusses the U.K. Online Safety Bill and its threat to Signal's operation in the UK, citing concerns about privacy.
Signal opposes the law as part of a global trend undermining digital privacy. They track privacy laws in non-Western countries through a network of experts. Signal's core focus is private communication, and they won't change their stance based on jurisdiction. Signal's encryption prevents them from providing user data in response to government requests. They emphasize their commitment to privacy and encryption.
The interview also mentions Telegram's alleged cooperation with governments and the importance of Signal to dissidents and marginalized communities. Signal is actively working to ensure access even in regions with government bans.
Finally, the interview discusses Russian surveillance, emphasizing the need for user caution. Signal's commitment to privacy remains strong despite challenges.
Here's a brightened and sharpened version of the controller's teaser image from their site:

So definitely no weirdo wing-shape :(
The average TikTok user knows that being on this platform is a gross waste of one's time, but it's oh so addictive, so giving a like to a video promoting a much more healthy and valuable activity like reading a book works as a kind of self-assurance that "I'll start reading again someday, I promise".
Geerling tweeted: "I recommend Firefox, Safari, or (gasp!) even Edge instead. Those browsers don't try to work around any privacy-preserving steps I take to protect myself online."
The mental gymnastics, corporate/lawyer double speak and lobbying efforts in those argumentations must have been absolutely insane.
Sounds interesting! I read about India's UPI for the first time a couple of months ago in an Economist article: https://archive.ph/WoqQp
"With Cameyo all traffic is encrypted and apps are delivered from a secure HTML5 browser, separating the user’s device from the corporate network and eliminating the need for VPNs. Cameyo also utilizes Windows Terminal Services and temporary user profiles, ensuring users are unable to access admin privileges, settings, and files." [0]

>How does Dino compare to Conversations when it comes to XEP support?
It may not be on par, but it's more than "good enough" and nice to use imho with working (video) calls and encrypted group chats etc.
>especially if it involves confusing the words "weapon" and "tool"
Ah man, this movie will always have a very special place in my heart.

Who said anything about censoring?

This blog post from today is about technical details.
>if Meta joins the Fediverse, Meta will be the only one winning.
Argument: As history has shown, tech companies will keep embracing open protocols and standards at first, only to extend them behind closed doors, thus locking users in and finally destroying the "open" competitors.
