Their version of BSD license, not copyleft.

Any reason why it should be different with RAM?

Also the GPU shortage hasn’t gone anywhere as shown by the 50xx cards release and with Nvidia saying it will not even release new GPUs in 2026, it’s only getting worse.

The RAM shortage is only temporary, it will pass

Just like GPU shortage was temporary… Oh wait.

Removal of the “gen*cide” function.

I don’t know what is both funnier and more disturbing, removing the function, or censoring the word.

What’s the advantage of GPL?

See the state of Linux used and contributed back to by corporations and FreeBSD used but not contributed to by corporations.

There are already multiple non-C languages in the kernel

Such as? Apart from C and Assembly.

What does your toilet need internet for?

sovereign immunity of state funds

To be fair gold/silver prices tell us that this concept is already dead. I mean when even Switzerland can’t be trusted with money anymore…

As all the sane people do.

Even if they had, the manufacturers would probably break the contracts, pay fine and still be very much in profit.

You can play Bloodborne via an emulator.

That’s actually some very interesting discussion down there.

“attitude” which is calculated as follows: (upvotes cast - downvotes cast) / (upvotes + downvotes). If your “attitude” is < 0.0 you can’t downvote.

The math here is hilarious.

Again, that’s not some theoretical topic. They can block most VPNs, they do so in China, Russia, Iran. And there are no riots on the streets, their corporate overlords don’t do anything against it. One of the reasons is that they do allow ipsec for corporate clients. Are you a corporate client? Do you use ipsec for vpn? Are there riots on the streets for this censorship instance?

It’s not some theoretical topic, it’s the reality for China, Russia, Iran. They do block commonly used VPN protocols, so people now use VPN with obfuscations. Some work, some doesn’t, some stop working as time goes. So when people say “Ha-ha, I’ll just use VPN”, it will help you for some time but the trend is they will make it a problem for you, better start preparing before it happened.

What vpn obfuscations do you use? Because you know they’ll block vpn next.

Remember subreddits going dark and people leaving reddit. Hahaha how did that work out ?

We are on lemmy now, so I don’t get your point here.

None of this has anything to do with Signal itself, which is as secure as it gets.

Didn’t I say that at the start of my questions? What’s your point?

server would catch and reject it if it’s fingerprints don’t match the previously known good copy, or a public version

If I understand you correctly, you mean that Signal app checks itself and sends the result to the server that can then deny access to it? Is that what Signal does and what makes it difficult to spoof this fingerprint?

I don’t think you answered any of my questions though since they weren’t about Signal.

Now you’re just coming up with weird things to justify the paranoia

I’m just asking questions about security I don’t know answers to, I’m not stating that’s how things are.

What if the malicious actor is not Signal but Google or the hardware manufacturer?

Can we check that the encryption key generated by the device is not stored somewhere on the device? Same for the OS.

Can we check that the app running in memory is the same that is available for reproducible build checks?

Can we check that your and my apps at the moment are the same as the one security researchers tested?

More likely they just send the encryption key to the server after it’s generated.
