Does anyone know where I could find comparisons of the various Lemmy clients available? I'd like to see something contrasting things like app maturity, features available, update release frequency, and etc?
I'm looking to try out some of the more mature clients since the one I'm using (Boost) has been exhibiting some problems for me recently. I wanted to narrow down the cause of the problem and will be trying other clients to make sure my instance isn't the issue. I'm writing this from Eternity (Nightly).
The YT algorithm washed ashore this review from a random small youtuber. I foud it interesting enough to share with you, as it has a headphone jack and seems to have good repairability.
A hack of location data company Gravy Analytics has revealed which apps areāknowingly or notābeing used to collect your information behind the scenes.
> Some of the worldās most popular apps are likely being co-opted by rogue members of the advertising industry to harvest sensitive location data on a massive scale, with that data ending up with a location data company whose subsidiary has previously sold global location data to US law enforcement.
> The thousands of apps, included in hacked files from location data company Gravy Analytics, include everything from games like Candy Crush and dating apps like Tinder to pregnancy tracking and religious prayer apps across both Android and iOS. Because much of the collection is occurring through the advertising ecosystemānot code developed by the app creators themselvesāthis data collection is likely happening without usersā or even app developersā knowledge.
> āFor the first time publicly, we seem to have proof that one of the largest data brokers selling to both commercial and government clients appears to be acquiring their data from the online advertising ābid stream,āā rather than code embedded into the apps themselves, Zach Edwards, senior threat analyst at cybersecurity firm Silent Push and who has followed the location data industry closely, tells 404 Media after reviewing some of the data.
We managed to enable MLS encryption for one-on-one RCS conversations in Google Messages' latest beta using flags. Read on to know more!
Bullet points taken from article:
The latest Google Messages beta supports MLS encryption, RCSās next step toward E2EE interoperability across apps and platforms.
We managed to enable MLS for one-on-one RCS conversations in Google Messages, but we havenāt been able to enable it for RCS group chats yet.
This indicates that MLS encryption support could be on the horizon for Google Messages.
Note that Google Messages already does end to end encryption, but there are many cases where this feature doesn't work (such as when communicating with an iPhone).
