Probably one of the most in-touch devs with their community and they’ve been super transparent and consistent throughout their entire early access journey. They basically showed how early access should be done in the best possible way. Been playing 1.0 for awhile but am a bit intimidated knowing I need to rebuild my trash ‘factories’ lol.
While that’s the strongest security option in that situation, it might cause more problems if they are forcing you to unlock your phone in front of them and you’re being observed. Same issue with the lockdown feature. Failing the fingerprint intentionally is invisible to the hostile observer and let’s you feign ignorance as to why you phone got locked.
You intentionally fail the biometrics a few times so it locks the device and requires the pin/password. From there it depends on the country. In the US, they can’t force you to give up a password, but they can force biometrics. If your country doesn’t legally protect you then there’s no software measure that can’t protect you at that point.
It’s not black and white like that. Giving information to two different clients is not equal. Just like signing up with Signal and Facebook is going to be drastically different. That being said, the issue work Revolt is it’s not federated and the protocol isn’t anywhere near as good as the matrix protocol. It’s not bad per se, just not as good.
That buggy trash is still alive?
