Technology@lemmy.world•Fairphone Is Finally Selling Its Repairable Phone in the USEnglish
5·2 months agoWhile that is true yes, their whole brand is built on being secure.
If they release to Fairphone it won’t be long before the news is flooded with “Police easily bypass supposedly secure GraphoneOS”
And that’s not a look they’d want.
I like their stance on All or Nothing.
Motorola is shipping with GraphineOS soon.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Free alternatives to paid softwareEnglish
3·2 months agoYea I’m completely stepping away from all subscriptions.

Technology@lemmy.world•EU Commission bans top officials from using Signal groupsEnglish
7·6 months agoSounds like a decentralized encrypted messaging platform is needed.
And when you need the highest trust, you just need to make sure you and the people you are talking to are all on trusted servers.
so governments would use their own gov.eu server or something, and only communicate sensitive info to others on that network so the info never leaves that server

The UX still has a long way to go.
I’m very tolerant of shitty tech and like a struggle, and even I am often like wtf.
Signed up to piefed.zip the other day, and the default feed is just horrendous
Most users will just quit instead of trying to figure out how to fix it manually.
No proper onboarding
