This implies that they actually had e2ee in the first place.

I’m sorry for your loss internet friend.

Out of the loop… who is this reptilian?

Ah bummer. The good news is that I just checked how the dev team for funkwhale is moving along with the refactor at a decent pace. Right now it’s in a Release Candidate phase. A nice summary of where things are at so you don’t have to dig through the weeds: https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/funkwhale/-/milestones

Way ahead of ya. I think my vpns IP triggered it.

No worries, it’s probably doing that due to me never getting off my vpn.

Paywalled. Here’s an Archive.is link

Yes please

May the force be with you my comrade!

Just tested it out. Can’t even see any media that I added to my funkwhale account, or listened to. This applies to music and a podcast. I hope the refactor of Funkwhale ships with a strong emphasis on federation with more ActivityPub services.

This was one of the most enjoyable reads I’ve had over morning coffee in a long time. Thank you for sharing this. Also, for anyone who wants a cleaned up pdf version that 404 Media encouraged people to check out, it can be found here:

“it’s not a toomah!”

I’m on both and intend to find out. I suspect that is not possible though. You can follow your Funkwhale account from Mastodon, yet you can’t lookup and follow any mastodon accounts.

Create your own community (aka - matrix space/room), set up end-to-end encryption, start the invites. https://matrix.org/docs/chat_basics/private-group-chat/

Otherwise, to find existing rooms, I’ve relied on this in the past: https://matrixrooms.info/

Let’s pretend this passes and becomes law. Now imagine a nationwide call for people to do a run on their bank, and pull out all their money. Even when the banks try to limit withdrawals, it doesn’t mean you can’t come back at some point and keep withdrawing.

Not everyone would do it, but eventually the news would be running in panic mode, as would investors.

I’d imagine the banks would be keen to demand a reversal of the law real quick…
