Fonzie!

With?

Isn’t it Camel(l)o in Portuguese? Also going by the map above?

It seems キャメル (kyameru / camel) is far more common in Japanese then ラクダ (rakuta).

What an eloquent yet brutal statement, I love it!

Man, they really 1-upped that if there’s a kangaroo on it! Can’t go wrong with those!

You kid but Zxcvbn deems it an OK enough password (3/4):

Again, I’m talking about an open source application, not about user contributions.
The main benefit of this is be that people can know what your application does, and thus it increases trust in your application.

I don’t see any downsides in this for you, unless you want to sell the web application and/or artificially minimise competition.

I know what you mean, WhatsApp is still several years older than that. They added it later. WhatsApp wasn’t developed as a Signal clone, it can’t have been, but Signal seems to try to be a drop-in replacement for WhatsApp (phone number-based (yikes), focused on messaging the SMS way but with files and over the Internet, simple profile with a status message on them, E2EE…)

Just Duck it!

I’m bummed they removed it from their logo’s hover text.

I’ve found their blades, at least, not very good.

My go-to has always been Feather, they’re genuinely good, sharp, smooth blades. While they’re not European (but Japanese), they also aren’t from the US so perhaps the recommendation is within the community’s spirit?

Why Not Open Source? We respect open-source ideals but saw other projects struggle with clutter/inefficiency. We opted for a focused, curated approach to keep the database simple and user-friendly which seems to work exactly as intended based on your and other users’ feedback.

I think you’re confusing open-source with user-contributed. I understand from your message why you want to curate data instead of accepting and showing many people’s contributions, but not why you wouldn’t make the site’s code publicly available.

When was WhatsApp open source? I can’t find anything on that.

Also WhatsApp is 6 years older than Signal, they couldn’t have cloned Signal by definition.

Or as one Dutch news aggregator put it: A charm-offensive

I got a very different impression from @Takumidesh@lemmy.world their comment…

My work is on WhatsApp using several groups to manage info, my landlord set up a WA group and every tenant is required to be in it, my extended family communicates everything through WA groups, my friends and direct family were on Telegram because of me but then Durov’s arrest happened and I don’t think I can convince them again, I’m cooked LMAO

WhatsApp has actively been saying it uses the Signal protocol and that they cannot read your messages, the files you send or listen on your calls. It does that on its own Status feature, its blog, channel and even website ads (which worked on tech-illiterate people that can’t use an adblocker)

At least in the Netherlands, it’s very actively pushing a “You don’t need Signal, just us” message.

They use Signal just for you even if they don’t use it for themselves? You’re not even the only one in this thread that says that.

Some of you know some really nice people!

I was the one that got them on TG in the first place as it was a trustworthy, good alternative to WhatsApp, so it’s gonna be a tall ask to move again from WhatsApp so soon

Same. It kinda hurts.

Yeah, it’s like they feel personally attacked

You’re retired?

Better do that thing where old people retire in Europe what I keep hearing so often about!
