It is better, because postmarket seemed to suggest that the only goal is to make old devices usable again, while in fact its main goal is to provide a good alternative OS in general.

5 daysIt is not harder than email, which everyone uses.

5 daysWhat about Matrix is harder than email?

5 daysIt is basically WhatsApp 2, with a source-available client. The client isn’t free unless forked and used with some other server, because Signal can ban you solely for using a fork. Not being federated may have minor security benefits, but there is no excuse for not having the client accept connecting to multiple servers; they just want to lock you in. Normal people should use Matrix, or XMPP. I am much more concerned about Signal paywalling things and locking me in and so on than about someone knowing at what time I send messages to someone.

6 daysSignal is not trustworthy, because they ban unofficial clients.

6 daysLooks quite good. I am not a fan of M3E in general, but the app is well-made.

6 daysAnd I would NOT be opposed to banning the glasses. I would be opposed to forcing nonfree AI on the users, because that would make them lose control.

6 daysThey are already mostly banned, but software is not the right way to enforce that.

11 daysHow would you implement it? On a glass that the user controls (root), it would be impossible. Of course, I do not like bathroom recordings, but there’s no sane way to block them.


Phones when?
