wait, I think maybe there is a misunderstanding in what happened in other apps. you are referring to the signal notifications thing, right?

oh, I thought OP’s point is Voyager does not even want you to bother with notifications that could make you more addicted

edit: someone else has taken it that way too: https://europe.pub/comment/7070900

do you remember what were they saying? they deleted everything

government id apps too in Europe

they can do plenty enough to be worried. maybe they can not harm you physically (for now), but by having access to details of the private lives of people, their conversations, and being able to see how they form their opinions, they can use that information to determine how can they reshape public opinion on topics of their interests. this information can be used by themselves, or they can pass it to an ally, and it could be used to change almost anything, like interfere with elections, or further erode the need for privacy so that people are willingly giving up even more data to them

governments often buy data instead of obtaining the necessary warrants, because its easier and more effective. if they can’t buy it, they have to do it the harder way, and the harder way can be made even harder with legislation

I just want a browser, no crypto wallets, no ai assistants, no built-in mail client, no biometric scanning.

3 out of those 4 are not even a thing in firefox

This mismanagement, among other issues, potentially cost Microsoft a trillion dollars in market capitalization

so far

no idea how are they getting out of this trouble

I don’t know if they actually started injecting it into the video, but even before they did that, they were serving the ads from the same domain.

my reply on another thread: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/24730726

that is the documentation of firebase, not signal. firebase just shows a common example there that is easy to implement for beginners and lazy devs. but developers can send whatever they want through firebase. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what facebook messenger is doing, but if a developer cares about their users privacy, they can just send a simple message through firebase, and make the app so that when receiving that, it checks for new messages by itself.

this is what the molly fork does with unifiedpush. the UP server, commonly ntfy.sh, only sees that the mollysocket server sent this to your molly client:

{"urgent": true}

Notification history is purely local to the device. It is not sent to any servers.

I did not claim so. but when your phone is confiscated, it’s possible to read that out

It’s not because of push notifications. the message is not sent to firebase, just a signal that the app should do a refresh.

It’s because the system saves the notifications apps posted to the notification menu.

but yes. don’t use firebase push notifications if you can avoid it. use a unifiedpush based system. base signal app does not support it, only molly. there are some difficulties though with that that are unique to signal.

same as webm, yes

of course, but no root permission is needed for that. flatpak packages can be installed on the user level, but even if you somehow disable that, they could still just download firefox (or anything else) as a tarball, unpack it and run it traditionally

mkv for the win

why do you think that? then all piefed users would be commenting with thorns

lol, what a bunch of liars. Americans don’t have any privacy protections to waive

I don’t understand how that is possible without installing its own kernel driver. afaik only the denuvo anticheat does that
