If you tell me you’re on signal my respect for you grows.
well wouldnt you know it, thats my main communication platform. even got my closest friends and my family to use it
Same. Got my parents on it. I recommend it to everyone.
Mine got on Threema, before Signal became a big thing. Meh, better than WhatsApp.
I’m on signal
My man/girl/bean.
6the from bottom here
What normies see if you give them anything other than an Instagram handle
I was looking to buy a membership at some nearby gym, and half of them can only be contacted through Instagram, no number, no email, just goddamn Instagram that I’m not gonna sign up for. What the hell. 🌚
At this time and location you can find me in pictochat room 3
Just send me an SSH public key and I will leave a txt on the desktop for you to read at your convenience.
Best i can do is adding your reticulum identity to my rnsh allowed identity list
Forget SSH public keys. Give them your Chrome Remote Desktop and they will edit the txt remotely
Just use Signal
what frequency and modulation tho
smoke
Ah yes
I’m just bummed they got rid of text support in the app. Made it simple to use one app for text and signal messages
Signal still requires a phone number to register an account. Matrix is the only reasonably private messaging service outside of darknet.
Actually, they somewhat recently added phone numberless registration. It does require a $2.99 fee however, apparently to prevent abuse.
If $3 was all we needed to prevent abuse my childhood would’ve been a lot better.
Ive been using Disroot conversations. No phone number required
Yeah fuck phone number based services! Tho i would like to mention, matrix isnt the only service thats private, take a look at reticulum for example.
Or XMPP, if configured correctly. There are others as well.
And at the very bottom, it loops back to happy Mr incredible saying we’ll talk when we meet again tomorrow
Hell yeah! Face-to-face communication!
Ideally naked and in a remote location, out of range of any listening devices.
Be carefull the spy sats still can read your lips, better only talk naked underwater with sign language
I see you don’t have the recording implant yet. Take off your skin or I won’t talk to you.
“Here’s a carrier pigeon. If you want to get in touch with me just tie a note to its leg and release it.”
Sweet! Lunch and a message!
With you public key, der.
“Nah I don’t do corporate socials. If you see me about yell at me. I know you won’t sign up”
I see I need to get into meshcore.
Steam is the only way to reach me and it’s more than enough.
The public key thing (pre meshcore) was so big with some of the people you’d be least interested in ever engaging with again. I swear they would brag about being so cool because other people didn’t even know how to use it when in actuality it was just that no one wanted to contact them at all. Gee, I wonder why no one you met at the conference is inviting you out after. Could it be that they don’t want to spend time with you? No, it must be that they’re too stupid to understand how to contact you!
There were some fun business cards, and some cringe business cards, but nothing was a red flag the way a public key was. I have not used meshcore so maybe it’s cool now, but I imagine not.
PGP email trauma, i see
From 2015: https://www.vice.com/en/article/even-the-inventor-of-pgp-doesnt-use-pgp/
Maybe I’ve just always been a rude, old curmudgeon, but I swear it’s not just me that hated it. We’re in a group chat about dinner bro, either give us your number or don’t come. No one is going to send you the details separately.
Yeah i get that, i too felt that Public keys did kinda vanish for a while, but then i looked into decentral mesh networking and they are all over the place there, but now they are usable cuz u just scan a QR-Code from somebodys mobilek and it just works, not much different than with other apps
Meshcore, is that like Meshtastic? Seen, but not familiar
Yeah, its basically Meshtastic but there are fixed repeaters and direct routing instead of flooding only
Except the meschore app is closed source, or only partially open. If I remember correctly.
I can only make it to modem73 with what I have in my radio shack. I’ll just calculate and build the yagi when you give me a frequency.
