It's sad to see YT community members being so ill informed. Proof-of-Stake is coming in leading blockchains such as Ethereum, Polkadot, Cosmos, etc. This is changing. It's a new technology it takes time to improve. Anyway, do your homework before commenting on things you don't understand.

Elaborate?

smsprivacy.org - it's not cheap but if you need it, it's working great.

That's a step in the good direction, I think curating the news is going to be a very precious service. I'm looking forward to decentralised ways of achieving this though, such as with https://civil.co/

Airbnb?

To replace Google Keep, you definitely want to checkout https://standardnotes.org/ - Going back to Google Keep would make me feel like a second class citizen today...

As for the Pixel it's ok, just switch to LineageOS, but you'll want F-Droid + Yalp, or F-Droid + Aptoide if you feel adventurous (awesome project but they are just getting started.

Drive... I'd recommend Nextcloud, but then you need to choose a provider since it's decentralised. If you're in Europe I'd say woelkli.com, if you're in Asia or America sorry I don't know what to recommend but I'm sure there are good options. Nextcloud will do a lot more for you if you need (CalDAV, CardDAV, Password manager, Bookmarks manager, etc).

This is a very exciting development, it's great to see more developers take this centralisation issue seriously.

On this subject, many people including myself have been failing (hard) to convince Moxie that dropping FCM (or GCM or whatever the name) is the way to go for Signal, if anyone want to give a hand...

Can we stop with the blockchain trolling please? It only makes you look very ignorant.

Yes, there is a humongous number of scammy projects. But there are also projects working really hard to succeed and they deserve a chance. Right now I'm particularly impressed by what Augur pulled off, it's not certain whether it will succeed long term but credit should be given where it's due.

Can we get the brain excited about positive-sum games? Dogs can run after a ball, maybe as humans we can do better? Maybe we ought to do much better?

Does this bring anything that is not part of https://standardnotes.org?

I'm in no way affiliated with this project but that's what I use to write and I absolutely love it, but I'm always open to trying other tools should it make sense.

Ah ok. I'm sold, thanks! The U.S. needs to remain the most powerful army in the world because... WW2!

Enlighten us.

I speak for many people when I say the world doesn't want the U.S. to keep its military superiority. We're tired of their shit. China or U.S. having it, same difference.

Although we are way way off that, a better, more organised, more democratic, more powerful U.N. should have that role.

Just to clarify: I know many things can be done once you put your Chromebook in dev mode, however once in that mode, your Chromebook becomes a lot more vulnerable. As opposed to on Android, where you can unlock without compromising on security, particularly true on and only on Pixel phones, as can be seen with CopperheadOS.

I'd love to read more on what you guys do!

The first question I would have would be: since you're about to be using Pixelbooks, what happens if someday your Google login get disabled for some random internal Google reason?

I'd love it actually if Pixelbooks could be de-googlized, or even better, if Qubes-OS could run on Chromebooks. One can dream. :-)

The beauty of this can be seen by how those securities are leverage and enhanced on CopperheadOS.

I criticise Google a lot for how much information they store on us, but this work they do both on Android (open-source) and the Pixel phones hardware should receive more praise.

You make an excellent point regarding Apple.

I think most people don't know and/or don't care, but you can get the best of both world with CopperheadOS.

Note: CopperheadOS is not for everybody though, I suggest reading this before trying it: https://copperhead.co/android/docs/usage_guide

So like Facebook. So let's not change anything then?

Alright let's do this: you don't change anything and stay on Facebook/Twitter indefinitely.

You will change you mind.

Why poor if I may? Sounds actually absolutely excellent imho.

That's how: https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/87k9iz/presenting...

Twitter froze my account today and I have no idea why either. Hate blockchain all you want, but I'm in pure love of it. I/We sorely need transparency and decentralization.

I'm very hopeful this reverse engineering effort will enable the creation of a tool to export my conversations (WhatsApp can do email export, which let's be real, doesn't cut it for most cases).

A point to those that support migrating to alternatives such as Signal. Signal is good, but far from great for a single reason: you need a phone number. This is very bad in necsec and reliability terms, my case:

Reliability: like more and more people, I travel all the time between countries and live out of Airbnbs. Hence my pre-paid phone numbers changes very regularly. If I lose my phone, I lose the phone number, I also lose my Whatsapp/Signal key associated with my phone number.

Netsec: A phone number is associated with your physical identity, you might not care, but more and more people do care about this stuff. Yes there are ways around that, but nothing straightforward and actually practical.

I'm patiently, but eagerly, looking forward to status.im .

Like thepiratebay? (yes it's down today, still is up most of the time)

Thanks, I guess. Only accelerating the blockchain+ipfs combo.

The Chrome plugin Privacy Badger (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/privacy-pass/ajhmf...) is supposed to be useful to avoid those.

I haven't been able to reach a conclusion on whether it is effective, anyone uses this?
