Bei ca.. Minute 36: zumindest das #BSI engagiert sich dafür, dass die gängigen #Messenger wie #Signal, #Threema und Co. untereinander verschlüsselt Nachrichten austauschen sollen.
Wer glaubt, dass - falls sie sich auf einen Standard einigen - diese dann der sicherste von allen sein wird?
Trop chelou, j'avais donc un bug avec "Skype Render" qui me prenait un processeur pour rien. J'ai fait le tour des astuces en ligne (c'est un bug connu), réinstallation, changer le Render avec une version plus ancienne… rien n'y faisait. Par désespoir, je me log sur le #Skype web, j'avais l'appli aussi en route. Je vois sur le moniteur d'activité qu'il redescend et depuis le render est sage !
Il a suffit que je me log une fois sur le site pour que tout rentre dans l'ordre.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
On me disait, ce midi, que les données qui vont sur internet, c'est relou mais ça n'est pas vraiment si grave.
J'ai commencé par éclater le « j'ai rien à cacher » avec la porte des toilettes.
Puis j'ai rappelé l'histoire de l'avortement aux États-Unis, qui est devenu illégal du jour au lendemain avec des conséquences dramatiques pour trop de femmes.

La Police dépend du Ministère de l'Intérieur, qui gère aussi les Mairies et tous les services annexes.
Je préfère nettement l'utilisation de Linux et des logiciels libres plutôt que Microsoft dans les ministères.
I think at this point it's worth thinking about why we need text chats and voice/video calls integrated with each other like what #XMPP (try to), #Matrix, and #Discord do
Why not just go back to #IRC or something like #AIM for text, and something like #Skype for calls like the old days :sagume_think:
As someone who doesn’t like #ai, #microsoft getting #openai for free is amazing! They’ll mismanage that company into the ground just like they do for all their acquisitions. Enjoy the same rockstar treatment #skype and #github got.
Signed in to #Skype on mobile for the first time in ages. It apparently has some kind of “today” feed full of news. Of all the features nobody asked for and nobody wanted. Anyways, what were the first two items in “my” feed? #Trump and #Musk. Then an Ad. Then sports, #FoxNews, and then Russia using a new weapon in the war. Amazing.
Latest #Skype app has #BingAI hard wired in, cannot be disentangled. If you are trying to use a small device, it even reduces the text input space to add an icon, next to the camera, microphone, attachment icons. Typical #Microsoft tinkering (although they really have made Skype worse since buying it).
“Bing is now available in Skype’s 1-1 conversations on all platforms, as we reported earlier. It brings AI-powered suggestions, fun facts, and witty interjections to your chats. You can choose to keep the chat going or ignore Bing at any point.“
You just can’t extract its tentacles 🤦♀️
@Jgmeadows Having #Skype and other #Microsoft apps keep getting reinstalled after I specifically removed them was what caused me to ditch #Windows11 for good. All of the #PC games I play work in #Linux without issue. Had to use a few app alternatives, but overall super glad to not be on Windows anymore.
a client made by an enterprise who will willingly backdoor your messages
a client made by 3 people that get random breaking changes that completely obliterate flow
a client that is one giant html5 canvas that uses 100% of your browser gpu power
a client that requires systemd
way too many abandoned android and ios clients
please use fedi we have:
an instance software which is so popular but so feature deprived it makes no sense why it exists, also it's trademarked in a bad way
an instance software that has so much code rot it spawned 500 forks to try and fix it only to become rotten themselves
an instance software that doesn't really know what it's doing and instead implemented 3 different api standards, and this is the fork i'm talking about. no one should talk about the upstream project.
