+1 for SearXNG. I’ve personally found mostly better results, for my use cases, than Google or duckduckgo, although I keep DDG as a backup.

the web would be miserable without it.

I specifically pay them because the money I’m giving them is put (mostly) directly into open source client/server components that benefit everyone at the end of the day, not just myself or the company but “humanity” in general.

If Bitwarden (the org) disappeared tomorrow, we would all still have access to really high quality software that someone could continue to push forward/develop and I appreciate that confidence and trust that they put forward.

To the point of the person you’re replying to, I think it may be treated the same as email. For example, if you send an email and it gets forwarded somewhere else, all the “custodian of your data” (lets say google in this example) can do is delete any copies they have on their server. Anything outside of that is outside their responsibility/capacity.

I’ve got my vote for the guy who thought carbon fiber would do great under pressure after being told “no” by tons of experts in the field.

Does FluffyChat support encrypted rooms/chats now? Last I tried it didn’t and was the reason I went back to Element.

The way I did it was getting rid of the apps I no longer wanted on my phone. This forced people to send text messages. If they try sending a good pic/video it would obviously fail. Their only option was usually something more difficult than just installing Signal. I don’t provide Whatsapp as an alternative. I did lose some contacts, but close friends/family will obviously opt for the better messaging experience compared to default SMS.

Signal could have implemented RCS messaging themselves

That would have been great, except Google doesn’t provide an API for developers to use RCS in their own apps like they did with SMS. Google’s basically forcing everyone (long term) into their messaging app, which I suspect will eventually be the “iMessage” of Android since there wont be any alternative “texting” apps.

alternatively, to view a remote community from your lemmy instance you just append the domain to the end of the URL to indicate its on that specific remote instance: e.g. if your home instance is lemmy.ml, visit https://lemmy.ml/c/futurama@lemmy.world to see the remote “futurama” community from your instance. If you remove “@lemmy.world” you’ll see your local futurama community, which isn’t very active.
