Dang, fitgirl is doing some real reverse engineering here.


It’s a web front-end, so if you host it somewhere, you can access it over your mobile browser. Maybe you can even host it on your phone via Termux, but I’m not sure.
I’d say for phones it’s not ideal either way though.
So guilty by association, got it.
More info about Chomsky please.

In my opinion it is really hard to establish business processes that get the blessing of every open-source community member there is. Criticizing what is made is easy, implementing everything perfectly isn’t. I like to judge things by their practical effect and AFAICT FUTO has had a positive effect for their member projects and their respective communities. Does that mean I wouldn’t prefer if everything they did was true to the open-source principles? No, of course not, but that doesn’t mean we should bring our pitchforks, either.
That being said, I’m not actually that knowledgable about how FUTO operates, so any piece of information that might make me change my opionion about them is welcome.
Edit: Okay, never mind. I thought I was aware of all of FUTO’s controversies and therefore didn’t re-read the article before posting. Seems there are some more problems than just not conforming to the traditional definition of open-source.


Not really a lie, it just highly relies on the guarantees these chips can provide. In the past there have been multiple issues with the design or implementation of these things: https://sgx.fail/ https://tee.fail/


What other cryptographic practical applications are more worthy of his attention right now?


Like this time when they didn’t release the Signal server code for more than a year only to suddenly include a cryptocurrency that basically had a non-existent userbase but that Moxie was a chairman(?) of and nobody really knew whether or rather how much he was financially invested in. Good times /s


in TEE environment
Moxie loves these closed-source hardware enclaves. Signal servers and MobileCoin rely on this too, if I’m not mistaken.
In my opinion this not the right way to go about these things, but then again I’m not a renowned cryptohead like Moxie.


Check out TLS client certificates.
There never was a controversy about SyncThing, only a bit of drama about the ownership of an unofficial Android client. I’m still using it, but it’s pinned to an older version for now.


This looks fun. I think I’m going to try that.
I’ve also just randomly noticed that the link on alternative.to doesn’t work for whatever reason: https://alternativeto.net/software/monica/?toid=nametag--never-forget-a-name-again


Tailwind plus is a one time payment, not a subscription
Ah, I wasn’t aware.


Why would the revenue be down because AI when “it’s more popular than ever”?
That’s not an explanation for this post. Firefox had tabs for years, even on mobile and you posted a random ass GNU picture. ???
