Mattermost is only source-available due to their dual licensing.

Try FreeTube.

You are correct, I somehow got confused… It was v1.2.0 release, I updated my original post. The release didn’t even mention the license change. https://github.com/eythaann/Seelen-UI/releases/tag/v1.2.0

It’s another fake open source license. While source code is public under the license, you can’t modify or republish so if the project decides to sell you are fucked.

v1.2.0 release changed the license from MIT to PolyForm Strict License 1.0.0 which removes ability to re-publish and make changes to the project. In the day when fake open source projects sell out daily, it’s a good sign to avoid this project.

Not entirely about free music, but you might find Bandwagon interesting https://lemmy.zip/post/20835272

Lemmy development was funded by NLNet by the way.

EU has a similar program called Horizon Europe, which spent around €95.5 billion so far. Though it’s broader in scope, not limited to just software, but includes various open source research too.

It’s listed as a honorable mention in the article.

I think it more comes down to it not being Discord than people liking it.

Element X (Matrix client). Basically anything that offers F-Droid or open source release will have builds without built-in notifications. Play Store/App Store builds requires using native notification systems.

It was a conscious decision for them not to enforce E2EE by default. https://web.archive.org/web/20211215132539/https://infosec-handbook.eu/articles/xmpp-aitm/

XMPP clients have like 10 different implementations because of that and are not always consistent with each other or even function universally across platforms.

But I’m not an author. That would be @nateb@mastodon.thenewoil.org.

Spoofing just changes the displayed called/sender ID, not the actual number. They would still need real numbers for each account. And they block a lot of VoIP numbers, like most services these days. And getting carrier SIMs or e-SIMs is a not that easy.

No mandatory 2FA as far as I know.

It’s there for a reason. You can’t easily create a spam waves if you need a phone number to create an account. And they added usernames now, so you don’t need to share your phone number with people you want to talk to. It’s just there to create an account and can be hidden after that.

There is Session, that uses UUIDs for names with no phone number requirement, which is basically a fork of Signal with decentralized Loki on top of it.

Not all of them work, and most require some details to create.

That might work in most places, but there are countries that only sell pre-paid cards with ID registration.

It really depends on each person’s threat model. But there are a few things everyone would benefit from. Like VPN, email aliasing, password manager, 2FA/MFA. They don’t have any convenience cost and in most cases make your life easier.

If you read the blog post you would know there are 0 mentions of VPNs there. VPNs have very limited purpose, and it’s just a small tool in the arsenal of privacy.

RCS doesn’t support encryption natively. Google only has proprietary encryption for Messages app.
