I think somebody forked it and is calling it IronFox. So you might want to take a look and see if that’s correct.

Less metadata = better

Yeah, Molly does the same thing and doesn’t cause me any problems.

For some people it doesn’t, and for others it does. So your mileage may vary. For example, with me, I have seen no significant battery impact, and I’ve been running it this way for several years.

On my device, I let the app just constantly hang out in the background with a persistent notification that I have turned off, but it does not have a significant battery impact for me at all. So your mileage may vary. Some people say that it has significant impact, and some people like me, it doesn’t impact hardly at all.

I don’t know about Telegram, but I know, at least with Signal, it should work with web sockets, and allow you to get notifications that way. At least that’s how I get my notifications on Molly, which is a fork of signal. While not many applications support it, you might also look into UnifiedPush and ntfy which is a UP app from F-Droid.

Fair point. But I just believe it goes to show that more websites need to be available on the darknet. Not because it’s a scary or bad place to be, but because it can’t be censored. Not nearly as easily, anyway. Top level domains can very easily be seized by the domain registrar or ICANN, etc. But since onion domains use keys, it’s impossible to seize them without seizing the server they run on.

The vast majority of people are woefully ill-prepared for an adversarial internet.

Torproject.org. There’s absolutely no way to censor the entire internet, short of entirely disconnecting the internet.

If you do not yet know how to use a VPN, you will learn in fast order.

Also, why is it that different things enter the public domain at different times? For example, I learned of a movie from like the 1970s called The Last Man on Earth that is public domain, or at least I’m guessing it’s public domain, and yet it’s from the 1970s, where this is talking about stuff from 1929. I obviously know some stuff is made and released immediately into the public domain, such as open source software, etc. But I wouldn’t figure a movie would be like that.

I know that it’s important to get things into the public domain, but I feel apathetic about this as I have no interest in works this old. Music of this era is extremely low quality and so are films, etc. It’s like, okay, whatever, I guess.
