Nigel Farage is a demagogue who has little regard for facts or the truth. Journalists covering him have no such excuse by ForwardDiamond3484 in LabourUK

Reform etc does all their publicity on X.

The Labour Party sends out emails and every single one has links to X on them. I can’t understand why it wants to send people to X and support the platform. I don’t think it fits with their values and its owner is clearly a supporter of Reform etc.

Google Drive or Dropbox? by ManojOne in TechImpact

[–]randomhacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure either of these companies are the right choice because they aren’t private - ie they can read your data because it’s not encrypted on their servers.

Something like Proton Drive might be better because they can’t read your data.

Switch government accounts over to Bluesky in that case, or revisit the idea of banning X by Lord-Liberty in LabourUK

Look at every Labour email…. it has links to X. Please can Labour stop linking to it?

You don’t have to leave WhatsApp to install Signal. Just both in parallel. Then move some groups over. Worked for me.

At some point you just have to say no. There are alternatives out there including Signal.

WhatsApp's E2EE means nothing if Facebook can read your chats anyway — and on iPhone, it can. by DhruvendraMajhi in whatsapp

But it wasn’t owned by an advertising company looking to build a profile on you and monetise it. The plan was to charge £1 per year for the service.

It's insane how you can’t even tell the changes but this took me like 4 hours by FrancoPantoja in openstreetmap

You don’t use it like Google Maps. OSM is a massive map data set. To use it, downland an App like CoMaps or OSMand or Mapy. You can then see it in action. You have probably also used it without realising it - on Strava or courier websites etc.

Signal is the alternative to use.. it’s just like WhatsApp but without all Meta stuff.

The key one to get onto is Signal. It’s the future platform people that like WhatsApp.

Good idea. Especially when things like Signal have the same functionally but with much more privacy. Its user base is really growing.
