It’s fascinating how confidently wrong some can be.
List of SimpleX default servers:

Not a single one located in the US. Also, SimpleX is a UK based company.
This person clearly has no clue what they’re talking about. They seem to be testing how their browser routes to servers they test and confuses it with how messages are routed via messaging apps. Or confuses Whois with server location. No idea, just ignore.
Time to block them.
Hi @simplex
Could you please reply in detail to the above thread? Not for the person I was posting with—I suspect they are trolling–but for anyone else who’s reading.
Thanks!

Cool. Thanks for adding useful information.

If that is your threat model, you should be much more worried.
The internet at large is US tech.
Most content is behind CDNs from the US. Even some of the fediverse. Even some of the European Commission servers. Even some of your government services.
Beyond CDNs, all browsers are from the US.
Beyond browsers, the entirety of DNS, PKI, etc., is controlled by the US.
Banks depend entirely on the US. Even the ECB.
We are entirely US owned.
Time to wake up, maybe?

Time to end that dependency, maybe?

I just realised that you’re confusing your browser routing to SimpleX website with messaging routing via SimpleX Messaging Protocol.
It’s like saying that my browser routes to the NHS website through US servers therefore I can’t trust my local GP.
For anyone who’s reading this thread, SimpleX Messaging Protocol works just like the Fediverse, where you chose which nodes (instances) you federate with. You can disable (defederate) the servers you choose, and only federate (or route your E2EE messages) with the ones you trust. If you want, you can completely disconnect from the whole network except your family and friends by using your own servers.
It’s also fully open source, you’re welcome to inspect the code should you wish prior to installation.
Here’s the whitepaper for anyone who’s interested:

P.S. I now muted the above person due to AI in their profile, so won’t see replies.

@aboutsignal Signal relying on USA servers, maintained by an USA foundation, presided over by an USA resident. Yeah I guess?
I still like and use Signal, but how do you plan to operate in a fascist country?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_(software)@dallo Funfact: Some days ago I recommended in my local association of the SPD to use stashcat instead of Signal, because it is US-tech.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_(software)@dallo @aboutsignal that's what I was thinking 🤔 why don't we use @threemaapp instead? An European solution, with servers in Europe and everything between our borders

Pmi italiane meno immature, ma strada ancora lunga da percorrere per asdottare le misure di protezione adeguate ai rischi cyber. Ecco cosa fotografa il Cyber Index PMI 2025 che misura l'indice di maturità delle Pmi

*Il CEO di Palantir fa una scioccante confessione sull'interruzione del potere democratico *
Il CEO di Palantir, Alex Karp, ritiene che la sua tecnologia di intelligenza artificiale ridurrà il potere degli "elettori altamente istruiti, spesso donne, che votano per lo più per i democratici", aumentando al contempo il potere degli uomini della classe operaia.

Lo stato paternalista scopre Linux e impone che controlli l'identità dei bambini prima dell'avvio.
Le leggi sulla verifica dell'età prendono di mira i sistemi operativi perché a quanto pare l'accesso root da parte degli adolescenti rappresenta ora una crisi di sicurezza.

Algoritmi e strutture dati in TypeScript – Libro gratuito, ~400 pagine
Questo libro nasce da una semplice osservazione: la maggior parte degli ingegneri del software utilizza algoritmi e strutture dati quotidianamente, eppure molti non ne conoscono a fondo i fondamenti. Possono usare una mappa hash o chiamare una funzione di ordinamento senza comprenderne appieno le garanzie, oppure possono avere difficoltà quando un problema richiede la progettazione di un nuovo algoritmo da zero. Allo stesso tempo, gli studenti di informatica spesso si imbattono negli algoritmi in un contesto altamente teorico che può sembrare scollegato dal codice che scrivono nella pratica.

Cadice, Jerez, Gibilterra: la speranza è tanta: potrò vivere qui?
Anche l'episodio 17 di "Verso Casa" è finalmente qui nel Fediverso!
E' l'episodio in cui continuo l'esplorazione dell'Andalusia e di Gibilterra, per trovare un posto, uno di quelli speciali, dove il dolore si placa e la mente può ragionare più lucidamente; dove la gioia riaffiora, e io torno ad essere me stesso. Un posto dove il cuore vuole stare. Sarà Cadice, Jerez o Gibilterra?

@cagliari @superenea
La battuta deriva dall'infelice titolo dell'Unione Sarda. Titoli del tipo "sorpresa nel cantiere..." di solito si riferiscono a casi di ladruncoli che si introducono nei cantieri per fregare rame, ferro o materiale edile :-D
