Needs to be distributed. Single points of failure, be them people or tools, are always a mistake.
The developer chose the correct platform for that then. It’s an apple only app.
His excuse? Android requires him to store databases of user IDs, but Apple does it themselves so it’s more “private”. There are tons of opensource push notification platforms available on Android that you can sideload. But seems like the developer wants the limelight than anything.
Also my honeypot senses are tingling.
Everything about this app is mega sus yep. Should have open sourced it then this wouldnt have happened.
Even if it wasn’t a honey pot, it IS a honey pot as the DOJ will just subpoena all pushes sent to all devices via it with some lame excuse that the courts will approve.
All the privacy claims were complete BS. Apple will roll over if given a warrant.
Exactly. Making a closed source, iOS-only app when you’re allegedly trying to help the largest number of at-risk people makes no sense…
Ooh there ya go. I knew there had to be some actually good approaches to this problem :)
Rights need to be exercised
Leave the US, now, if you can. Otherwise, find someone outside to publish your code I guess.
What a nightmare.
Please stop telling my team to break the line. Look for resources at home first. Please only leave if there is literally no way to stay and help. I understand that’s a thing. I am disabled, but can teach, deploy, and run disposable coms. We also need people running relief potlucks and doing research, and creative communications.
Anyway, what country doesn’t have a far right political party and a drawer of serial offenses on indiginous people and POC? Not Canada. None of Europe. Not Japan or Australia.
Mate it’s not a competition but if it were, your country is on the top 5.
I’m refering to the competition between the nazis who want to criminalize and execute all the queer, colourful, and disabled folks, and any functioning stripe of anti-fascists, if that clears things up. It’s between people who want a free license to hatecrime, their apologizers and everyone else.
I can recommend some light reading if you’re still confused about what’s happening.
At no point in this post am I sarcastic about anything, just to be explicit.
Nah, cowards run away. If one has the means to leave, one has the means to fight.
This app’s developers have been saying some incredibly questionable things about its development and availability, which I would warn people makes it sound A LOT like a honeypot. A WHOLE LOT like a honeypot.
I will now exit stage left and allow you to dismiss me as wacko.
