For both MobileCoin and Signal the TEE are not relied upon for the security of the general application but only for some convenience feature that are required for mass adoption but that you can go without using them.

Also, while TEE are not bulletproof, in such a server situation, it means that getting user data means much more invasive compromise than just querying the database. It’s an imperfect solution, but an improvement nonetheless.

You know you could also not be using a car, an cycling or using public transport. Using public transport without internet can be a pain but for cycling there are plenty of offline apps that work really well, especially CoMaps.

If you don’t understand the cryptography enough that you have to ask about telegram, just use Signal. It’s the best designed app for the security of most people, it doesn’t have any privacy/security footgun, and has a pretty good threat model while not cutting corners on usability.

There’s no debate. The CEO is a compulsive liar who misleads people about how encryption works. Every one who knows how encryption works and have looked at Telegram will tell you Telegram is not encrypted

Signal is well designed enough that Jurisdiction doesn’t matter much. The only things you’ll find that can br arguably better than signal are fully decentralized apps that go over TOR like Briar or Simplex but these have a lot less usage because they’re so slow and terrible for your battery.

No, watt is love, so love is energy over time, not chemistry.

It’s pretty plain on DHH’s blog:

In 2000, more than sixty percent of the city were native Brits. By 2024, that had dropped to about a third. A statistic as evident as day when you walk the streets of London now.

I wonder what characteristic he uses to define « native brits » that can be seen when walking.

Or just take a look at his twitter. Which Framework obviously did since they retweet a lot of his posts…

Good thing the people here are not asking for the government to ban Omarchy/hyprland, but asking “normal people” to not associate with known assholes, which is a very normal thing to ask for. And defending your right to associate with assholes whitout being shamed about it makes you look very much like an asshole.

This is cowardice from Apple, but ICEBlock was not a good app:

• Micah Lee: Unfortunately, the ICEBlock app is activism theater
• Micah Lee: ICEBlock handled my vulnerability report in the worst possible way

Or maybe servo didn’t mourn the fascist Charlie Kirk enough: This is Ladybird’s Creator.

At least both projects funded by cloudflare support fascists. Omarchy is by DHH, who is not a good person

I’ve heard good things about ghost.

They use GPU based enclaves. They have a white paper available. I just seemed it but they mention AMD and NVIDIA enclaves.

They can’t get your username from your phone number (but they can b’get your phone number from your username)

Unblock signal first?

Signal also has been a leader when it comes to encryption and metadata protection. Their cryptographic protocols are public domain and are the gold standard for private messaging from pretty much every perspective other than decentralisation. (it’s still centralised)

Signal is American but run by a non profit so it can’t be sold and is open source under GPL3 without a CLA from what I can see so it’s unlikely they would ever go closed source.
