      Yes, and I only use it for some Linux support groups, don’t know why they are not on matrix.

      I think the implication is that they don’t use anything from any of those companies. I see icons for Bitwarden, Nextcloud, and Lemmy. So they’re probably a big selfhoster.

      From memory the UK gov is trying to (or has?) pass anti-encription laws targeting the big tech giants GAFAM (google, apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft). I am in Australia so not up to date with this.

      Its hard to tell from the icon pack they are using but I think this might be a screenshot from a degoogle phone? For example I don’t see any Facebook or Microsoft specific apps. But I do see a nextcloud app which is an open source self hostable replacement suite for Google’s cloud apps.

      Basically the law change won’t affect them as they are not using any GAFAM apps/software.

        I think its targeting all encryption, but these are self hosted end to end encrypted typically, all upon grapheneOS, so would be all but impossible to crack

      It’s pretty hard to make open source developers all over the world comply with unreasonable demands of nation-states. Ditto locking down the national Internet to block people from accessing them. Even in North Korea it’s hard, not impossible.

    Love this, funny how we have a lot of similar apps, but Discord stays on the bottom row, it’s hard to get rid of.

      Lol no. Just a privacy hardener. Idk it started with replacing all google stuff with nextcloud. And more and more I became free.

        I might bite the bullet, and buy a Pixel tablet, to flash it with GrapheneOS. Lineage OS tablet support is pretty spotty lately. I use a Samsung SM-T720 that is doing well, but will die eventually.

          Yes it’s kind of annoying to buy a google phone to replace google. Lineage is good but they use some google stuff.

            GrapheneOS are sticking to Google hardware for security features and upstream support. I’d rather wish for a maximum privacy platform that doesn’t leak anything to Google. I’m currently not aware of anything like that.

    So they just come home with a warrant and take your unencrypted hard drive that’s self hosting all that apps

      When you visit the UK? That’s how I interpret the OP.

      They could possibly keep the device to study it and create tools by the time the next guy with the same software comes along. Or simply confiscate and pressure you to give access. A lot of people simply crack.

        Sheesh! I mean, I did get a token around 100k when I signed up, but they definitely need a better way of screening if it takes an average user more than a year to get through the screening :/

          For real, I fully forgot my subscription. And I know someone who subscribed some days ago and he is on waiting place >100.000. It’s suspicious exactly after 500 days.

      How long is the wait now? I’ve had it for a bit and I know they’ve been ramping up their onboarding.

        I’ve been waiting for almost a month now, and I’ve seen a few people complaining how they’re in waiting list since multiple months (recent ones, i.e. after they announced lesser waiting time)

          I’m not sure I really get the pull. It seems to just be a matrix server with bridges and custom clients

          They do have their work open sorced which is nice, but this all kinda just looks like what matrix is on its own. I guess the only advantage I see is maybe making things a little easier for more casual folks, but it does cost to…

            It used to cost. It is now free so that helps the value proposition. There will be a Beeper Pro/Plus or some subsctiption service that will allow you to have multiple accounts/bridges on the same network, but that’s not actually released yet.
