Hi

wow, signal's top on play store
-
Billy549
it's signal, microsoft teams, telegram, zoom
-

IMO, there was a "user stampede" from WhatsApp to Signal and Telegram.
-
KiiwiiWasTaken
What's signal?
-
atphoenix
I don't think WhatsApp policy or practices really changed, but rumors spread and a stampede happened
-
KiiwiiWasTaken
Also jeez archiving a site with a bunch of files takes forever
-
KiiwiiWasTaken
Like it's been almost a hour for me to get this one site
-
atphoenix
Suddenly people I know show up on Signal, and they're all worried that Facebook is going to get their photos from WhatsApp...when these same people have been using Facebook, and WhatsApp itself for years.
-
KiiwiiWasTaken
lmao
-
KiiwiiWasTaken
tbh I feel like it's all hype
-
KiiwiiWasTaken
Well, not hype but I can't think of the right word
-
atphoenix
Not to mention I advised some of these same people to use Signal...years and years ago...and they mostly blew me off, but now they stampede and overload the Signal servers
-
atphoenix
which bothers me. All I can say is 'jeeeeeez people'.

KiiwiiWasTaken

Update on MAGFest:
nitter.fdn.fr/MAGFest/status/1350554255489454081 (already put link into IA, I don't know if there's anything else worth archiving right now)
-
Billy549
yeah i dont get what people think
-
Billy549
Sorry KiiwiiWasTaken, should've said that and not just assumed
-
Billy549
but yeah Telegram and Signal are both messaging apps
-
Billy549
A lot of people are getting scared at Facebook taking their data if they use WhatsApp - Facebook *claim* that WhatsApp is E2E, the same way Signal is (i think it uses the same protocol?)
-
Billy549
and Telegram has its own Secret Chat too
-
Billy549
atphoenix: it's hilarious how much people dont trust companies because the media says theyre bad
-
Billy549
like I agree facebook is NOT a good company, don't get me wrong
-
Billy549
i use whatsapp bc parents wont /not/ use it (bc they refuse to listen to me when i say "turn on wifi calling" on their phone...), and i have instagram bc i like instagram but i'm aware that it's feeding into facebook in some capacity
-
Billy549
whatsapp is kinda at fault for their tos saying facebook will get data from whatsapp but also >facebook has owned it for YEARS at this point
-
aleph
Yeah getting people to change chat platforms is hard as hell.
-
aleph
Finally got some of us back together from irc onto whatsapp a few years ago
-
aleph
Now it's convincing one of them to move to signal so we can all switch
-
hexa-
uh, you guys did eventually backup bitbucket, did you not? I'm looking for
bitbucket.org/asplake/link_header and it doesn't look to be on the waybackmachine or softwareheritage
-
hexa-
is it thus lost?
-
hexa-
I'm specifically talking about the repo, not the pypi upload
-
Jake
I believe we got most of bitbucket, I see one capture on WB for that link on the bitbucket project, but it appears to have been a 404, maybe it was removed prior to the bitbucket removal?
-
OrIdow6
It was in the list
-
OrIdow6
So probably
-
hexa-
rip
-
hexa-
thanks for checking
-
kiska
Link was 404 when we tried grabbing it

<Sanqui> nice yeah, shouldn't be much of a problem when dealing with individual websites, although watch out if you start parsing forums in languages you're not familiar with because you might not be able to recognize that text is in the wrong encoding
-
OrIdow6
Case in somewhat related point: I thought "ůh, gkeljlfkuo" looked real
-
Sanqui
lol, that wasn't even wrong charset but rather wrong keyboard layout XD
