Messaggistica a confronto

Recentemente moltissimi iniziano a maldigerire la gestione dei dati personali di WhatsApp e Facebook, così in molti rivalutano altri sistemi di messaggistica che fin’ora erano rimasti nell’ombra. Ovviamente io e molti altri preferiamo sistemi aperti e liberi ed in molti, tra cui io avevamo caldamente consigliato già da anni di usare Telegram.

Fa un po’ male leggere questa infografica dove Telegram sembra uscirne “con le ossa rotte”:

Signal lo reinstallerò, non mi piaceva il suo chiedere con insistenza il PIN ogni pochi giorni. Session non lo conoscevo, e mi incuriosisce.

Peccano non ci sia GNU Jami che non ha proprio i server (ma ne siamo così sicuri? Ho un dubbio, indagherò )

Time has come

What a change from the original “Don’t-be-evil” Google! The shiny knight is slowly but constantly turning into an harsh evil tyrant. See what Yeupou writes at the beginning of Fetching mails from gmail.com with lieer/notmuch instead of fetchmail – # cd /scratch

Google is gradually making traditional IMAPS access to gmail.com impossible, in it’s usual opaque way.

So the time has come to leave Google. It will be a tiring effort, it will be difficoult, but it has to be done.

This effectively blinds the Chinese government’s Great Firewall surveillance tool from seeing what users are doing online.

So the question is: how can we help Chinese people to avoid the regime’s prying eyee?

I bought a RedMi Note 8T in the middle of lockdown. It was one of the few available and I needed it to use as camera to livestream Holy Masses. I hadn’t much choice even if I wanted to avoid Chinese communist dictatorship as much as possible. Communism is intrinsically evil.

Now I can fully deGoogle it. The great G holds too much data and too much power over too much people. It’s easy to become evil with too much power.
