    What's your usecase here? Internal or external messaging?

    There's no clear segmentation. There's symmetric and asymmetric primitives (and stuff that doesn't fit into these like ZKP), algorithms, protocols, research in many different types…

    The fact that every email encryption integration exports secure context messages into insecure contexts when decrypting (which is how encrypted messages end up cited in plaintext) …

    You need a private PKI, not keyring. They're subtly different - a PKI can handle key rotation, etc. Yes there aren't a lot of good options for that. If you're using something like …

    What you described IS WHY age is the better option. GPG's keyring handling has also been a source of exploits. It's much safer to directly specify recipient rather than rely on thi…

    Then your next best bet is Matrix.org. Not to the same security standard as Signal, but if you don't have a specific threat against you then it's fine.

    Asking for an equivalent to GPG is like asking for an equivalent of a Swiss knife with unshielded chainsaws and laser cutters. Stop asking for it, for your own good, please. If you…

    C2PA has the problem that it has a ton of optional metadata support and no well-defined strict validation procedure, so it's trivial to make fake photos appear valid using currentl…

    Also, the RPi is the wrong kind of hardware for attestation, at least use something like USB Armory which provides a user programmable ARM TrustZone environment. Since USB Armory s…

    Everything is open source so yes you can, it's mostly a question of practicality. There's already third party clients, account hosting servers, etc, as well as different apps build…

    Before Musk, Twitter used to fight those requests. The platform can not be called better, with more bugs and errors than ever. Why don't they apply those rules to Republicans? Why …

    Musk is reposting actual neonazi accounts

    Most of that doesn't deserve to be called an improvement. That message encryption is one of the worst designs I've ever seen. The algorithm isn't open enough that anybody can see i…

    It's used in a not particularly advanced way - bluesky uses repositories per each user for all their public social activity (posts, likes, etc) and it creates a Merkle tree as an i…

    Signal relies on the client program to not be compromised to keep conversations secret

    There's a few self hosting forums, and there's Lemmy / Kbin for federated ones

    Since you own the console you dump the keys from, nope

    Re forms: I did primarily mean rather simple ones (like say attendance forms), but there's a bigger argument here; This type of API copyright would post likely not just mean the pa…

    The irony is that what they claim happened is instead what would have happened only if the case was resolved in the opposite direction. Everybody having to pay for API licenses for…

    As others has said elsewhere, the jury rules on facts and judges rules on law. SCOTUS are judges. Under one interpretation of law, the most recent jury findings of fact held that G…

    Comment #26706050

    How often does the API itself exceed the level of creativity of uncopyrightable plain lists of facts? It's not clear to me that it should be considered copyrightable on its own, es…

    Comment #26705511

    One of the issues here is that it's not even clear under which license the API should be covered. Does the existing software license also cover the API, or must it be explicitly de…

    Their failure to take control over those markets is not the same as a failure to cause damage. They slowed down development of web standards by many many years, as one example.
