That is if you’d live in a place with an open attitude toward new technologies.

You are braver than I am because here in Germany usually people get sued for reporting security vulnerabilities.

Guess who recently asked a company if he could get access to the API they use to load stuff in their frontend from their backend and got told “Nope and btw scraping is against our TOS”?

Well, if you won’t give it to me the info that you provide anyway the easy way, I can still take it the hard way. 🤷‍♂️

If it was impossible for the other side to read the content of the messages, I’d agree. Hence, why it is less problematic that Signals server software is closed source.

Telegram is not FOSS. The client is, but the server-side implementation is not, which is important if you consider the fact that encryption is turned off by default.

Repair what’s broken, slap Linux on them and donate to charities.

No worries, I didn’t take it that way.

Mine injects some functionality in a specific government website that I frequently use so it’s a very narrow use-case anyway. I only published it “because why not”. Not going to link it because I did so under my real name to be able to add it to my CV.

The main thing I had to wrap my head around was the difference between content and background scripts. Other than that, of course, reading the steps to publish the add-on at Mozilla.

*Looks at his own add-on with exactly 1 user*

😥

Dare we say it …?

They most likely did in a later commit. However the commit adding it can not be removed as OP said. So in order for git to be able to work properly the file is still in the repository in case someone wants to check out a commit where it still was present.

So, how is this supposed to work? From what I can gather at a quick glance it appears to be a VPN of some sorts but for cellular data?

Unfortunately not.

Why do you not know HTML?

Woooooot?

I guess I am lucky that my domain comes with the cheapest webhosting I pay for at Hetzner.

Well, maybe OP has been holding on to it for quite few years by now.

This is not true anymore as we have all moved to de-gender our language according to the teachings of the late Hermes Phettberg by which gender-specific endings are replaced by the letter Y.

So, i.e. the German word for a person operating a bakery is now “Bäcky” instead of “Bäcker” (m) and “Bäckerin” (f).

Exactly.

The current backup system relies on you still having direct access to your phone or a previous backup you moved off your phone yourself.

What Signal is offering now is an automatic backup system that saves an encrypted copy of your data on their own servers which you can access even if you lost your phone and never made a manual backup.

If the intern can do it, they should do it. So you can learn, that he shouldn’t be able to do it.

This is contrary to OSS definitions.

Yes, that’s why I added ‘personally’.
