it's so funny how open source projects with ties to military or law enforcement or fash try to pull the "if you don't like it then go somewhere else" card and then people do and then they complain about cancel culture and "wokeness" destroying open soirce
"purity culture is destroying the movement, unity means when you accept everything the movement does uncritically because if we have disagreements the project (tm) would fail and the project (tm) is what we're all here for right?"
@kkarhan Yes I was aware of that one. That's where deniability comes in: on the official SimpleX client there is a hidden profile feature: to display hidden profile you type in a password you set previously but you type it into the chat search bar so there is no indication in the GUI that you have any hidden profile. I think each hidden profile can have their own associated password so you can type in a password and say there you go thats all my hidden profiles when actually there are more

This quote is not from UK legislation it is a report on a specific interpretation of UK legislation. It may be interpreted by a court that way one day and as anarchists we should build OPSEC and INFOSEC that is resilient to this kind of suppression, but please double check the source of things before you post or share.
To counter this kind of suppression we would need more sophisticated privacy and anonymity tech than most activists use and we'd need development to happen underground: this would mean using tools like Tor onion addresses or even better I2P sites for codehosting and development comms.

@UrbanCityCowboy I would love to know more about how you used it and other ways that can be used. What came to my mind was to take down a printed advertisement from a community bulletin board, change the QR code for their website to an encrypted QR code then place the new copy back on the board so someone else could retrieve that message at a later time without broadcasting any metadata over monitored networks. This would make it much more difficult to know who is talking to each other.
@ProfessorBoop @UrbanCityCowboy
Simplex also has a qr scanner so you can smt similar: post a group link to a printed page somewhere locally and as long as you dont need to rotate the link it will continue to work. Optionally you could periodically rotate the link and refresh the poster

@fdroidorg #ImageToolbox gets #AI is correct. It is local and works if the phone is not providing compute, this new feature is not fun to use. However, #DeJPEG, #upscale, #colorization, #enhancement is now available. Background removing offers also more models for the #FLOSS version.
