Russia crying “no fair!” after every attack makes them all just a little bit more satisfying :)

@pkrasicki This looks great and I’d love to check it out. Would it be possible to add support for my instance?

That modern UI addon looks pretty cool but doesn’t work for me despite running 0.18.2.

Do you have to get your instance manually added for support?

Why do you think it’s badly federated? I’ve never been unable to find my peertube account from anywhere I’ve tried - Mastodon, Firefish, Friendica, Pixelfed, or Lemmy.

And Firefish has so many more bells and whistles than that! Full-text search, antennas, quotes, drive, pages, channels, MFM.

Amazing! Just some limited use so far but the experience seems every bit as good as the PWA. Thanks!

Yeah it feels a bit softer. Pretty subtle difference but I actually prefer the native app haptics to the pwa a bit.

Thanks! It’s nice to get a little recognition for putting in the work 😎

Damn. The app situation has improved so dramatically over the last month!

Congrats on your promotion to a 1! You earned it (by posting).

From my understanding peertube has less restrictions of content compared with youtube.

It would depend on the PeerTube instance you join.

Meh. Sounds like a bunch of tankie bullshit.

Yes and no. And verifying by domain is better, especially for people who are likely to be impersonated (ex. Journalists).

Rel=“me” doesn’t actually verify a user’s identity, it verifies that a user has a relationship with a website. The problem is that you need to leave Mastodon to make sure that the website actually verifies their identity. I’ve verified a connection between a Mastodon and Pixelfed account, for example, but it doesn’t tell you anything about who I am. It’s also much easier to spoof a website than it is to get the BBC to give you an account on their private instance.

It really works great the other way though! If you have a known identity here, you can be sure that the linked sites are legit.

It also solves the verification problem. It’s without a doubt the best way to go for an organization - especially news orgs.

omg yessssss

Nah you were appropriately smart mouthed. The problem was my clumsy post intro.

I don’t think there’s any evidence of a global compromise but I think you’re right that China wouldn’t allow access if it didn’t ultimately control it.

I couldn’t find anything specific about iMessage but the keys are backed up to iCloud – and we know that’s compromised. I can’t imagine them leaving users the option to just not back up to iCloud to avoid surveillance, but I haven’t seen any specifics. Best to assume that under no circumstances do you ever have privacy from the gov’t in China or even when messaging someone in China.

Apple proactively aids in censorship and stores all customer data, including encryption keys, on servers controlled by the Chinese government. They’ve also excluded security features from China and crippled existing features to aid government repression.

They could have factories in China and not sell phones there. There are also other places to build factories. They just might have to trim back their 42% profit margin. It’s still a willingness to abandon principles for a price, isn’t it?
