How do you get rid of fines?

Is it (still) worth trying to switch my family and friends from WhatsApp to Signal? (Read all of it, please.) in c/signal@lemmy.ml

You better believe that any metadata that can be syphoned by Meta is, that includes profile info, social graphs, who’s calling/messaging who, when, and for how long. AFAIK only message content is e2ee.

Be the change you wanna see in the world. Start by ditching WhatsApp yourself, or at least aggressively reducing your usage of it in favor of Signal. Let your friends and family know that you’re only reachable on Signal now and see what happens. You don’t have to ask them to switch; just to use Signal if they wanna contact you.

I think e2ee is always on in WhatsApp. You don’t need to turn on anything. You may be confusing it with Messenger or Telegram.

Usernames release date speculation (lemmy.ml)
 

Signal went on the record saying that usernames would go live in the first half of 2023. Obviously that didn’t happen. Now we hear that they should be released this year.

What do you think? Are we actually gonna see usernames this year?

The official chat room for a privacy community is discord? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

3rd party browsers on iOS (lemmy.ml)
 

Given that all iOS browsers have to use Webkit for rendering, are there any privacy benefits in using say Firefox or Brave on iOS over stock Safari?

Credit card round-ups to buy stocks? in c/personalfinance@lemmy.ml
[–] ayon@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Why would you wanna do that? I personally don’t shop at stores based on whether I believe their stock would do well in the future.
