What are security, privacy, and anonymity?
Yes, they patched it, but I still don't like #Keybase, also because it was (partially) bought by #Zoom. I use the decentralized solution @keyoxide for this and yes it is more complex but you only do this once and then you have it. Apart from that there should now be a #shell #script for it.

An introduction to the #Fediverse without moralistic finger pointing, #privacy can be off-putting.

In December, Ars reported that as many as 3 million people had been infected by #Chrome and #Edge browser extensions that stole personal data and redirected users to ad or #phishing sites.

In my eyes, this is an attempt by nitpicking to elevate a mudslinging to a personal level by fishing out technical details without context. This looks like the beginning of a campaign to retain market share lost to #Signal. Why is this article coming out at this time and why is there so much #whataboutism in it?
