Delta Chat was one of the FOSS projects affected: https://chaos.social/@delta/114211300446944585
the guy is literally a political front for techbros, it’s not like he would do something else.
Tech bros are only interested in getting the results from open source. They want the free software from their slaves, they aren’t interested in paying anything.
Tech companies, for a while, added a bit to open source as it was in their own self interest, but they still shut out everything that wasn’t them, they still make the internet in the horrible stonewalled garden that it is today. No account? Half the internet isn’t accessible to you anymore
Fuck all the big tech and social media companies
Elections have consequences. I am no longer on speaking terms w/ trump voters.
I’m no longer on speaking terms with any voters
I’m no longer on speaking terms
The Free Software projects in question: Tor, Let’s Encrypt, and F-Droid
I did not knew that Tor was getting funded by the american state. Thats giving me some spooky vibes.
It was invented by the US Navy.
Well color me stupid color me gone.
… Except not using it would be less secure, so I’m not sure I’m following…
Don’t confuse TOR with security, you can get exposed to use the Onion without an additional encrytion layer or VPN. TOR cannot encrypt the traffic between an exit relay and the destination server.
Sure, like any security it operates in layers
Totally disagree that Tor does not address security. The loophole you mention is indeed well known, but again it’s an exploit like anything
And like any security thing, you stack a few layers to get the real world security
The TOR network is certainly pretty secure, but it’s always advisible to use it in the Onion not without an additional layer, at least with a good VPN. Anyway I think that the future is in a descentralized web (I2P, Hyphanet, Snowflake, Shadowsocks and similar), the normal Internet is to heavy controlled by big companies and govs.
