>Long answer: if you want to use Firefox you’ll have to find an unsupported way of running it. Chromium is also a snap in the repositories ( it is a meta package)
If you do not mind flatpak, there is an official flatpak:
>If on the one hand you argue that the free speech twitter clones are uncompelling, you have to also agree that the proposed features are inconsequential, no?
No? It is entirely possible to imagine consequential features that are uncompelling: Actively hostile features.
>I also think its odd to mix altruistic ideas like free speech platforms with profitable network effects. Why does it need to overtake Twitter?
What is the value in Twitter over the "free speech" clones if Twitters audience doesn't have value?
Does Twitter have such unique features that couldn't be replicated much cheaper than the buy price?
"Judge in Musk trial will tell jury that “Funding secured” tweets were false"
and
"[T]hough 'jury instructions are often an ineffective remedy,' the Court finds that unlikely to be true for the instant case where the jury will be told that the Court has already found that the August 2018 tweets were false and made with the requisite scienter [knowledge of wrongdoing]," Chen wrote.
tldr:
generates random ids (1 per 5 min i think?) that it keeps broadcasting via Bluetooth.
It saves the ids it broadcastet (sent ids) and it recieved.
If the saved ids geht too old to be relevant ist deletes them.
If you get a positive PCR you can opt-in to notify your contacts, this works by you releasing your sent ids. The released ids are regularily published by app provider.
The app checks the published ids, if it finds published keys in its list, it checks how often they are in its list (to aproximate duration) and what signal strength was (to aproximate distance).
Based in duration and distance it warns that you had a risky contact and should get tested.
Besides that it also has a few other features now
you can Scan QR-Code of vax-certificate or neg test result and then show those from App so that eventorganizers can scan them with an App that veryfies signatures
you can check in to places/events and get anon notifications if later it turns out soneone there was positive. (Think restaurants, parties, anyone can make their own event to get a QR-Code they can print out)
you can add a testprofile so that when you go get tested they scan a qr code to get the needed data, rather than having to tell them
you can write a contact diary that autodeletes after 15 days.
Dunno if anyone uses the diary.
Also, the Long delay until health-minister comissioned the check-in feature lead to a private competitor called 'Luca' that does it differently and is infamous among IT folk.
If you want to read up on Luca and speak german (or have a translate you like)
