I was a li’l stressed out that my Molly-FOSS installation suddenly showed up as just Molly but apparently all is well in the world because it’s all FOSS now. They merged the two. And this is about Molly IM (the message app) not Molly Brown (the Gemini server).

Molly is a hardened version of Signal for Android, the fast simple yet secure messaging app by Signal Foundation.

You can not sacrifice privacy to get security, that’s like tearing down the house to build a fence. Privacy is how security looks like from within those walls, security is how privacy looks like from outside those walls, they are two sides of that same wall.

Send data, say goodbye, and move on. That’s JavaScript’s Beacon in one line.

Since Signal also controls the messaging infrastructure, this places them in the perfect position to perform the machine-in-the-middle attack (MitM attack) described in the Ghost proposal.

Den svenska militären använder Signal så dom är inte helt glada över hur sin egen regering tokar till det.

Signal har sagt att dom ska lämna Sverige på grund av det här. Polisen kan ju redan kolla ditt telefonnummer om du använder Signal men meddelandena borde dom inte kunna läsa om det inte finns nån allvarlig bugg.

Whittaker får det som att låta som att det är av principskäl som dom inte är så sugna på att läsa det men det borde ju, förhoppningsvis, vara tekniskt omöjligt för dom att läsa det.

Brunskjortorna tar på sig fluktbrillorna i sitt försök att speedrunna Kallocain och 1984.

Bland annat vill dom att kommunikationstjänster ska lagra meddelanden i klartext. Vilka tjänster det gäller är helt villerkulla, dom har sina egna mysko kategorier typ “nummeroberoende” för att komma runt nån telefonireglering (för telefonerna kan dom ju redan se allt på).

Exempel på dessa tjänster är olika former av kommunikationsapplikationer på mobiltelefoner eller datorer. Som utredningen anger kan flera olika typer av tjänster omfattas. Vilka tjänster som I enskilda fall är att betrakta som nummeroberoende interpersonella kommunikationstjänster bestäms genom tillämpningen.

Jesus wept, proprietary software sure has a lot of hoops.

Email is very far from being the securest thing out there right now. That’s not what I’m contesting at all.

My problem with this widely quoted and self-contradictory essay is that they have driven a lot of otherwise very smart people to give up on making email the best it can be.

And there are plenty of things where email is still the best thing around. It’s a miracle that a world-writable fully federated inbox system is as good as it is. Fedi is a spam pit, IRC a harassment nightmare, email is at the forefront of fighting those things. Of course we want encryption on that.

It’s this process that we want to discuss here, in the form of a few examples that give a sense of how we work to ensure that Signal is as useful as possible in diverse contexts, and to push back on regional norms that can often double as tech industry common sense.
