Are you interested in enshittification-resistant application development?
After almost two years of collaboration with the wonderful @n0iroh team, we are happy to announce that #deltachat 1.48 apps on all platforms contain top-notch Peer-to-Peer networking support, including hole-punching and forward-secret end-to-end encryption. It is exposed through the new #webxdc realtime APIs and there are some nice initial showcase apps 🎉

Hey, thanks for the reply. I will try to understand it; and I have a suggestion for you.
Have you seen the Alice and Bob style of illustrations used in cryptographic circles?
Like en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-k…
If you could illustrate delta-chat similar to that, it would make it easier (at least for newbs like me) to grasp what you are offering.
Otherwise it just looks like yet another chat app with some weird voodoo attached.

@dbat sure. Maybe a video is a good form for visualizing what happens? We are not really into video production so any help there appreciated. Our post was mostly geared towards curious users or would be users, and then to developers who might join #webxdc app developments because that is what all users benefit from immeditatly.
Fyi we are operating on a shoe-string budget and up against corporations with deep pockets with marketing/outreach departments outnumbering all our development teams.
Oh sure, I can appreciate that.
I was only trying to support you. My feedback would be that, for whatever reasons, my brain could not parse the unique "thing" that you are working so hard towards.
It's a lot to take-in and illustrations are very helpful for that. You need not make a video, just try to diagram the process from Bob to Alice (or however it applies.)
I would be happy to help. If you make rough diagrams, I can make SVGs in Inkscape.

Sounds really cool. It is really a pity that delta chat doesn't seem to get much adoption. (At least I don't know anyone who uses it.)

Signal has been running on Signal video for a long time, and the addition of call links about a month ago was a MASSIVE quality of life improvement.
Seriously, give them a try! Imagine, not sharing the contents of your daily standup with a large video conferencing company!
When it comes to video calls, closing issue #8529 that is still unresolved after 5 years would be a much more massive quality of life improvement, for those who depend on metered cellular plans.
In all those years, stale bot tried to close it, since nothing happened. A workaround was presented as a pull request - closed by stale bot. People keep telling you under this issue that this prevents them from fully switching to Signal.
fair enough.
makes it a great messenger for those with intense security needs, but is a huge downside for everyone who like to be secure, but also keep their message history.
i definitely prefer keet.io in this context. Its peer to peer on top of that and file sharing any size of file is a breeze.
Downside - syncing files sometimes can take quite a bit of time, but that likely improves in the future.
also doesnt need phone number. just a 24 words based keypair
Not sure what this means?
I would also like the screen share option, so I hope I have whatever that means.
@Mer__edith @triskelion
Your reply was a little short and skipped over a key detail.
Let me expand that for you. Yes you can screenshare on desktop if you run a supported platform. For Linux that means Ubuntu/Debian and friends only (at least officially 😉)

Same with keet.io
But even better, it does not require phone numbers nor any servers or cloud servers.
It also doesntnhave thwt kind of infrastructure costs attached, thus no incentives to enshittify in the future 🙂
It could be something easy on the beginning, for sharing texts with direct links.
It’s very needed.
Thanks!
that's a #Marketing #Lie as @signalapp / #Signal collects and demands #PII like #PhoneNumbers to this day, and unlike #WebRTC-based options like #JitsiMeet and #WebCall, one cannot #SelfHost Signal!
So please stop such bs claims, because they insult the intellect of everyone who's even halfassing #ITsec, #InfoSec, #OpSec & #ComSec...
The quality of audio/video calls has been going downwards for me recently. Not great video quality and audio has been clunky.
Not sure what’s going wrong but something’s off.
How do I get a version of #Signal that has those features?
The version in the Google store is still from 2024-11-01 and there is still no Signal on F-Droid.
I'd love to but Signal Corp. decided to exclude Android Tablets from being part of this
and whats with not putting Signal in Flathub(pak), especially since the cryptic installation instructions on your site need "decoding"
Twitch declares “Zionist” a slur — and a bannable offense

Calling zionism what it is shouldn't be discouraged with dog whistles masquerading as conduct policies.
At the same time I'd like to remind folks that not all Jewish people subscribe to Zionism.
There are a couple Jewish lead organizations that fight for the freedom of Palestine and have been very critical of Israel for many years.
Jewish Voices for Peace is one group. I wonder how they'd feel about Twitches new policy. I'm genuinely curious what their opinion would be.

Could you at least try to engage in this discussion? Or maybe come up with any evidence supporting your world view?
A different definition of the term isn't a different worldview. Also, not immediately spinning every exchange into an exhaustive debate isn't a critical character flaw. Unlike being an insufferable ass about not getting the amount of attention you apparently feel entitled to.
Though I would take look at that poll about 80% of Christians being "essentially" Zionists if you'd link to it.

I.e. nothing is masqueraded here as long as they keep to this. This seems to be a reasonable policy. I've seen a couple of instances of people being derogatorily called zionists just for supporting the people of current Israel not being pushed away out of their now decades-old homes, which is hard to still call Zionist if they don't support any further expansion and any offensive military action.
There's almost never anything gained to use "Zionist" on someone as if saying "asshole".

I guess my pessimistic lens is a little strong and I generally don't trust large companies to act in good faith. So maybe I'm over scrutinizing here and being a bit of a curmudgeon.
I think your perspective is fair, and it's likely this is akin to a high school faculty dealing with some random word or idea becoming a meme of sorts and causing problems. So they have to write some new rule that sounds ridiculous or weird.
It sucks there's so much racism and bigotry driving forces in the world that it's hard to not be dubious of everything. You always kinda wonder about the actual motivation behind things like this.

You're entirely right.
But see if the political view is only held by members or a certain religious group (even if not all members of said religion accept said political thought), it's easy to conflate it, so that you can ban anyone opposing said political thought based on "they're discriminating against me because of my religion".
Fuck twitch.
which is hard to still call Zionist if they don't support any further expansion and any offensive military action.
Your 'if' is doing a lot of heavy lifting. And is fucking hilarious given they keep expanding and pushing people out of their decades old homes.

If you're equating the Jewish people with zionism, or conflating being in favor of zionism as somehow being benevolent to the Jewish people as a whole, you are treating the Jewish people as a monolith and are yourself being anti-semitic. Zionism is perfectly compatible with anti-semitism (see for example all those anti-semitic christians who enthusiastically support zionism), and anti-zionism is in itself not anti-semitic (cf Jewish voice for peace).
So making "zionist" a slur has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with being anti-anti-semitic or not.

Jewish Supremacism was the instigating lobby for such laws. They wanted to enable other "supremacist liberal-themed" movements to take advantage, and hopefully ally, with Zionism. Me too, at the height of the cultural wars, essentially was representing that women can never lie.
An inherent problem with equality, awareness for oppressed groups, advocacy is that the advocacy never stops at equality. The ADL is canonical example of supremacist overreach.

The same way I don't think we should capitulate to framing "cracker" as a slur, or to framing "black lives matter" as a racist thing to say, I don't think we should capitulate to framing things like "from the river to the sea" or "zionist" as antisemitic.
But, as a thought experiment, let's indulge in this doublespeak trash. What is a good alternative? So far I've got:
- Israeli colonizers
- Jewish supremacists
- genocidal sacks of shit
- Israeli apartheidists
- Isreal expansionists
- Israeli warmongerers
- people in favor of the genocide and apartheid committed by Israel (in full, every time you need to say zionist)
- modern day nazis
- zionazis (technically not zionist!)
So all of this liberal crybaby nomenclature trash aside, I actually do think "zionist" is in itself a fairly useless term for the Israeli apartheid question (as Norman Finkelstein and Judith Butler do too). While one faction of zionism pursued the nakba and massacres from fairly early on, and while this faction has been quite successful, there are other notions of zionism which do not entail murdering children or colonizing a country. When Netanyahu and Chomsky can both legitimately refer to themselves as zionists, I think it's clear that zionism is too broad a term to be useful in the current ongoing genocide and the ethnic cleansing that has been going on for the better part of a century.

They probably don't like zionazi either. Neither this nor zionist is a code word for Jew. The entire political class, the great majority being Christian, and their donors are zionist, because going with the flow of AIPAC is path to get your candidates to also serve your oligarchist or Christofascist protections.
Netanyahuists or likudists or Mossadists or Epsteinists ok?
BTW, Chuck Shumer is going to allow a vote in Senate over this "criticism of zionism is anti semitic" law in US. Reddit also supports mods who recomend permabans over criticism of zionism already.
