Not sure why this is news
Because China is big BAD bogeyman to US populace and this is a easy narrative to set to his base in their favor.
Just look at the top comment on this post.
People are gullible
Ironfox is literally a fork of Firefox Android with additional privacy settings. Why wouldn’t 8 have equivalent features?
His base is like trader NPCs in video games.
They buy everything he’s selling to them. Then they un-ironically call everyone else NPC for being slightly skeptical.
It’s in the same way infeasible as implementing network/data block for individual apps. This feature has been on custom ROMs for a decade but never got into Android.
They’ve been baking Android for ads and surveillance and are now clamping down harder into how people can customize it.
They aren’t even afraid to hide these features as “bugs” anymore. If you turn off background data for an app on pixel, it will turn back on automatically when you reboot.
Also a thing about the government spying on notifications. Even if you disable notifications for your browser, if you ever play a media on it, it will show up on conveniently above the notifications panel. Sketchy AF.
Yea, countries are looking for alternatives to US based services. No matter how secure it may seem, they can’t control every aspect of the supply chain.
Signal is bound to Google and Apple’s platforms to operate reliably, centralized, and these platforms are beyond evil and are well-known to bend the knee for authoritarians 1,2
Hey China, you are welcome to sell me your clean cheap car!
Sure, but they’ll be spying on you too.
Source on this? Are you saying brave’s adblock is reimplementation of ublock. I have never heard of that. Maybe inspiration?
Keep doing? That’s always been their whole schtick. They are never going to stop doing it.
I have no knowledge in this and it’s early, but what happens to birds in the medium in between the receiver and emitter?
This can’t be good for them.
I left because their support was atrocious. I literally pointed out what the problem was on their end, but they didn’t give a damn and continued gaslighting me.
Fuck em’
He’s a dual citizen. He was onboard with banning Russian Linux maintainers for attacking Ukraine so they can’t sabotage the kernel.
He is however very quite on USA doing the same shit and more. 🤔

Let’s see if he is consistent on stopping this aggression.
Is there something that limits a person to a single lemmy account?
You know, to make that watchlist effective?
Are you giving data to the Linux Foundation?
He clearly says “with my data”?
Creating distros is easy, funding for the volunteers upstream is what’s lacking.
I hope the move also prompts them to start supporting upstream with funds, code, infrastructure, engineers, benefits and so on.
Why are you using an example molly client using unified push on a post about Signal?
Signal isn’t molly and cannot unified push at all.
Can you point to signal source code with this implementation?
Signal for android uses web sockets for notifications
Only in absense of google play services.

Signal is not on the official f-droid repo. Signal devs are very much against it.

Signal does not use Google’s notification service
This keeps being repeated in this thread unprompted and without source, are you guys trying something?
I think on android, signal do not use Google’s push notification.
Source?
I think they are initially trying to be easily embeddable to things like IOT devices, TVs and applications that just need a webview rather than a full blown desktop browser. Something developers can easily add to their projects.
It won’t be taking over Firefox or chrome anytime soon but it’s a start.
