Thank you for the correction. For Matrix encrypted messaging, does it depend on app/'program, or is it dependant on the instance?

XMPP is decentralized but it is not federated.

XMPP is decentralized but XMPP has never been federated. I'm a fan of OMEMO but it's decentralized.

Anybody looking for privacy from a federated service will never find it. It seems SimpleX is implementing more decentralized capabilties and it has superior privacy over anything else.

While Signal is the gold standard, it is not at all the best app or service for privacy.

Can anyone name a federated service that has built-in encrypted messaging enabled for privacy?

I view the repeated reply of "start your own server" as a cop out to not address what is fundimentally broken about a service, plus it doesn't acknowedge that starting a new instance requires taking on a daily obligation of attending and checking that the service is running and immediately addressing in as short time as possible.

Look at the rules of a instance that focuses on a particular topic or industry, they still have rules for public postings or acceptable speech.

Since Mastodon has the capabilty to ban IP addresses and for one instance to ban another instance from communicating with it, that's using a deny-all rule due to specfic individuals, so everybody on the internet who uses one server do not exist online for people on another server.

One of the main or even first rules for a lot of Mastodon is nobody is allowed say anything bad about tansgender or homosexuality an will result in account delete or ban, that much censorship is a cult.

Not allowed to criticize vaccines. I'm not talking about messaging individual users, simply a public posting criticizing trans ideology or injections, banned.

If someone reads the rules across a long list of Mastodon instances, a picture becomes clear about conformity to acceptable speech. Functional healthy adults are mature enough to ignore it or they themself choose to ban a user from messaging them, not an admin who had no part in a conversation. If one person creates multiple account and targets individuals, then yes the admin gets involed.

To prove my point, do a search for a Mastodon instance that allows obnoxious or unpleasant statements, that is still allowed to communicate with more populated instances.

You lying to yourself or have unfounded expectations. Everything on Mastodon is in plain text, there is no encryption, and servers get mirrored. It's only the login info that stays with the instance, and they all say that each instance server keeps logs for a year.

It has never been any priacy at all. The entire point of why Mastodon was ever started was censor evertbody that has the wrong opinion. Twitter wouldn't delete people because of what they believe, so Mastodon was developed to ban IP address so only approved speech could exist on the internet as far as they are concerned and can avoid ackniwledging the real world. A high number of people on there, especially the admins, live in cult

Why does the nVidia work well on FreeBSD but not Linux? Are you fully confident that the problem is only nVidia if the driver works fine on FreeBSD?

Navi has a built-in download manager, it is not a standalone download manager. I use Navi as a light web browser for websites in case I never a browser on phone.

I do not compile IceCat, it's available in different repositories.

I am using Graphene abd I disabled Vanadium due to it being Chromium essentially. I use Navi or Download Navi from F-Droid. It does not have as much web functionality as Vanadium, but I don't use phone for websites, I read websites on computer or laptop, but occassionally something might need a browser momentarily so that's what Navi for.

If you want a web browser for privacy, I would suggest use F-Droid and in Settings under Anti-features, turn off every option in there, do a search for browser and see what you think of the options. It's either cheap development or old. A mobile web browser that protects privacy doesn't seem to exist with the capabilitied of a Firefox.

I'm a strong believer that there is no such thing as a privacy respecting browser that is closed source. For that reason, I use IceCat on computer.

I'm planning to watch it and ask a question.

A definite much needed improveme because I know the memory on 3090 has some issues with temperatures that was improved on for the 3090 Ti.

I would guess that the 5090 is going run cool given how small it will be, but with GDDR7, I'm not sure if it will bring temperatures back up.

Do you have a comparison of temperatures from before and after?

I think my dislike comes from the hype about Matrix being federated so people think it's safe, the fact that a company owns the matrix protocol, seeing the various apos that have non-free dependencies, when I looked before it seemed alk personal Matrix history is permanent, it seemed to be a combination of not the freedom people think it is and no clear sense of what the purpose of matrix is for, but don't now that I had an account previously to validate all of that.

If you want, we could talk on matrix but we both post our ID's here publicly to make sure it matches who we message on there?

I'm registered with FluffyChat, it seems fine.

I wish Mastodon had encrypted DM's. I've been focusing on using Mostodon as my main place for media.

I can't find a Matrix client in F-Droid to use because when I turn off all of the anti-features, it seems Matrix is not an option to install something.

Have you not tried SimpleX yet? If not, I would suggest when the new release for 5.2 is in F-Droid you should install it. I could give you an invite link to message there but I don't want others on here using the link.

Let them stick with Molly/Signal, that will give them a lot of privacy, and nothing for them to figure out how to use.

Leave SimpleX for people more skilled to handle how to do configurations. SimpleX does have superior privacy over Signal, but mabe they can't do SimpleX. Take it in stages with what they can handle, don't jump to the end.

I'm not willing to Matrix and I don't recommend anyone use it if they wat privacy and anonymity. I'm content only using Molly and SimpleX with everybody I know and no other apps or messaging services.

In SimpleX app settings, if you have already set a database passphrase, you can do a data backup or export to a file, when SimpleX is installed again, you import database.

I gave up Briar for SimpleX, as really good as Briar is, because of only having one ID. On SimpleX, if you enable incognito, it will create a new random ID for each new contact that you message, so no 2 persons will see the same ID for you, they each see you as a different name.

Also SimpleX is on iOS and Android, Briar is only for Android, and SimpleX does calling with contacts.
