Signal doesn’t support using the same account in multiple phones, and multi-device with desktop is weak and still depends on the phone, with delta chat you can have several devices at the same time and it is super easy to add a second device

I tried to use Signal, but I couldn’t figure out how to without a phone (I primarily use Linux desktop).

Glad I found Delta Chat.

Yes, thank you.

And to confirm that works:

python3 -c 'import socket; s = socket.socket(socket.AF_ALG, socket.SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0); s.bind(("aead","authencesn(hmac(sha256),cbc(aes))")); print("algif_aead probably successfully loaded, mitigation not effective; remove again with: rmmod algif_aead")'   

If it errors out, mitigation applied. If it prints, “algif_aead probably successfully loaded, mitigation not effective; remove again with: rmmod algif_aead” that module is still available.

Anthropic secretly installs spyware when you install Claude Desktop

Detailed blog post by Alexander Hanff

What Anthropic chooses to do next matters. A company cannot credibly claim to support human rights, as Anthropic have done in arguing against the use of their technology for war, and in the next breath undermine the fundamental human rights to privacy and data protection.

I do a monthly computer giveaway for my business.

Had a very pleasant phone conversation with this month's winner. He's an older retired guy. Former business owner. He was sick of Windows and started using Linux on his own a couple years ago.

So the computer I will be getting to him will have Linux on it (though he may erase and install his own). He prefers Linux Mint, but wants to try Zorin.
