Extra oversight for powers to scan encrypted messages for child abuse images passed by peers.

If you use Signal a lot, you might want to change your PIN number. Maybe you’ve been the victim of hacking recently, or maybe you just want to keep one step ahead of the game and change your credentials.

The Signal president spoke with CyberScoop about AI, encryption and the growing threat to privacy.

I am aware that upvoted posts make it to https://kbin.social/fav however that just doesn't work well as I already have 1,000+ pages in there. Moreover, that only registers upvoted posts and not comments. A workaround would be to just use boost, and only upvote when you want to "save" but that is just not conventional imho. The ability on /r to simply save a comment or a post is truly basic but effective.

EDIT: Relevant Codeberg issue

Meredith Whittaker, president of secure messaging service Signal, said a provision in the Bill focused on encryption had “significant issues” around the mass surveillance of private information.

In this Signal review, we’ll look at the capabilities, usability, and security that Signal offers. We’ll also talk about how the design of the service provides extremely strong protection for your privacy. Signal is truly impressive, so let’s cut the chatter and dig in to the review.

It seems that any Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ml hosted communities aren't any longer federating properly via kbin as I started getting 404 errors on all of them. Examples:

https://lemmy.world/c/personalfinance: ok
https://kbin.social/m/personalfinance@lemmy.world: 404

https://lemmy.ml/c/fire: ok
https://kbin.social/m/finance@lemmy.ml: 404

https://beehaw.org/c/finance: ok
https://kbin.social/m/finance@beehaw.org: ok

You can now use Lemmy Explorer to easily look up Communities and generate kbin-friendly links!

1. Go to https://lemmyverse.net/

2. Click on "Communities" on top center

3. Click on the house button on top right, and enter "kbin.social" as your instance (or any other kbin instance you may be using)

4. Toggle switch below on for "Instance links use /m/" (yellow)

5. Browse, search, and sort as you wish

6. All links will be in the in the https://kbin.social/m/community@instance.tld format :)

Ernest just posted some comments clarifying recent changes to Votes, Boosts, Favorites, and Reputation Points:

• Upvotes & Downvotes function akin to Reddit
• Boosts count as two Upvotes (link)
• Favorites are added to https://kbin.social/fav if you Upvote (link)
• Reputation Points have been updated

In addition to that, Ernest stated that "there is no connection between reputation points and sorting algorithms. It's just info in the profile" (link)
