WhatsApp has a zero day code execution exploit and that is probably the reason for using WhatsApp, I got a similarly odd text a couple days ago

I came up with what I think is a pretty good explanation when trying to explain the beehaw fiasco to a friend last night, here it is copy pastad

Think of it like cell service

You have TMobile, I have Google fi

But we can still talk because they both use 4g

But then Google fi blocked TMobile so I can't talk to you anymore

And if I want to be able to talk to people on TMobile and Google fi I would have to transfer my service to att

But also, the service is free to setup and run on your own

So instead of 3 or 4 big cell carriers there are thousands

Also, some added info: Also, with the fediverse, when you transfer service you can take your data with you Just like you can take your text messages and phone number with you Fediverse meaning all the apps that work this way, like mastodon and Lemmy (at least those two one have data transfers I think)

Edit: can't transfer account

Used to use pocket cast instead of this, its great

If you have a pixel you can turn on call screening for unknown numbers. Ive been using it for a couple years now on my pixel and my phone hardly ever rings now, its fantastic

Phone > settings > call screen > automatically screen calls + maximum protection.

Its good enough now and mobile addons exist, plus fuck chrome

Took em long enough, been getting these for months

Woah any type looks awesome

I was trying to find something with sync too, ended up working on building my own, federation doesn't work yet but tell me what you think. https://github.com/odama626/tasks

I post way more than I ever did on reddit

Factorio and rimworld

I do support those who host stuff but I'd much rather donate to a community run solution like Lemmy.world than do it myself, I know there are people who enjoy doing it and are much better at managing infra than I am.

Edit: also I think Lemmy / mastadon having servers that anyone can join has really lowered the bar to entry and helped drive engagement.

I do currently host the backend

I could host but I also want people to be able to use it if they don't want to, I feel like requiring people to host mastadon or Lemmy would really raise the bar to entry

Can I get this source image?

Oh. Thanks for clearing that up for me

I run nextcloud in a docker container and its super unstable, and I haven't found a good way of using it on mobile

The primary reason I want federation is, if I self host it and let other people join then I ultimately control their data and they are locked in, so it could eventually turn into the same centralized authoritarian bs that notion / todoist has and probably most other proprietary stuff.

Activity pub is the only current answer to centralization I've seen so far

"if the batteries have a shorter lifetime than the device" sounds like it could be exploited though, well folks the processor can only last 2 years on these new phones because of (insert random corpo bullshit here)

I was pretty happy I was able to find my first answer on Google by using lemmy.world in the search today

I just switched to it, Had tried jerboa, connect and liftoff and this one is by far my favorite
