Where's the rest of Discord's source code?

While it bans us from proving its claims and more, i'll never let it infect my devices.

The claim is that audio and video are E2EE. I’m not sure how you’re unable to disprove that using the linked code, audit report, and COTS debugging tools. Can you expand on that? I see a lot of FUD without anything more than “they’re not libre” which, again, doesn’t do a great job of selling your point.

Just reverse engineer me bro

And every update, every other app, all their updates too, across every device... 🚩

Should we just waste our whole lives nothing but knee deep in disassembled binaries?

How stupid and gullable does openly hostile Discord think we are?

Couldn't be me still coping and shilling trash like this.

In another post you’re actively looking at purchasing GPS systems. The satellites you’re sending info to are not available to dissect and I highly doubt the firmware of the devices you’re looking at is publicly available much less libre. Your trolling is not internally consistent so it’s clear you don’t have any clue what you’re on about. Good luck with that.

[–] GreyCat@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I don't think you need to send info for a GPS client to work. You are just a receiver, no data sent.

This conflates software with service.

Signal's offical servers, when we don't own them, and we don't run them, we can't see inside them too.

Signal is an end-to-end encrypted libre app, so we don't need to.

here's half the source missing

just reverse me bro

that's not your server

Always the same talking points. Some people never learn.

what the hell are you doing that you keep being banned from discord?

[–] autonomoususer@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

It bans us from modifying its source code, sharing its exact and modified copies, using it for any purpose, etc.

We do not control it, anti-libre software.

Which software license do you think Discord is distributed under?

[–] toastal@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Why put the effort into such a hostile service?

[–] autonomoususer@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Replied to the wrong comment?

[–] toastal@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Responding broadly to the thread of folks talking about userScripts & add-ons. This effort would be better put to getting folks to a different protocol where client modification & alternate clients are the norm.

[–] autonomoususer@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yeah, some people never learn.

[–] Blxter@lemmy.zip -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I've been using a modified client for about 2 and a half years now without being banned.

[–] autonomoususer@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Where's our legal right to modify and share its source code forever? We don't control it.
