Selon l'article, les deux seront utilisables, et seulement ces deux là : tchap et Olvid
Another article, much better and presents in more detail that Olvid was audited on an older version and chosen because it was French and they applied for it (French) https://www.numerama.com/tech/1575168-pourquoi-les-ministres-vont-devoir-renoncer-a-whatsapp-signal-et-telegram.html
Well let's give some counter examples in the softwares I mentioned :
-
WhatsApp closed : Owned by Facebook. Well Facebook had multiple data leaks, privacy violations and nothing substantial was done about it. Definitely not trustable (also zero days are getting sold on the black market for WhatsApp (https://techcrunch.com/2023/10/05/zero-days-for-hacking-whatsapp-are-now-worth-millions-of-dollars/ ).
-
Telegram closed : not end to end encrypted. Russian app. Not trustable.
-
Signal open : well this one is e to e encrypted. Open source, maybe could be trusted. Seems to have passed some security audits (https://community.signalusers.org/t/overview-of-third-party-security-audits/13243), tho it's based in the US and uses servers, maybe the US may have super computers capable of decrypting such communications. However is signal has switched their encryption to quantum computer resistance it may be too hard even for a state actor. However they also "debunked"/ignored zero-day reports which were not reported through their own tool, and by asking the US for confirmation. I am not sure if the US can be trusted to give confirmation about the existance or not of vulnerabilities when they are very likely to use them (https://thehackernews.com/2023/10/signal-debunks-zero-day-vulnerability.html?m=1).

Olvid open (servers closed) : is French, e to e, and backed up by an encryption PhD. And why not use a local messaging app witch also is very secure and open source.
Notice how closed source is untrusted here. The economic activity of the tool changes how trustable it is. Military équipement has a huge and strict budget, it has to be secure.
Communication apps are user first. So they do what they can get away with, and that is very true for Facebook.
Because lots of people aren't smart enough to make the link with a factory.
But the non smart people see smoke or steam and they think pollution.
Sending the entire email content to their cloud isn't that good.
However an advantage to doing so is to be able to use push notifications on the app without having to poll continuously the email address from the device. Which in return reduces the battery usage compared to constant polling.
However, they could have done something like spark mail, only get the email subject, sender and a little bit of the content to put into the noficiation then delete after the push notificdation has been sent.
This looks like scam email and Aliexpress products merged together.
Red Hat enterprise Linux?
Sry did it. The apps I use seem to be smart enough to stop at html.
Don't hope too much. The project looks dead or stalled due to maintainer not giving news.
If not updated, once your Lemmy server gets on version 0.19 the app won't work anymore.
A pretty good app which also has post search is Thunder. Tho it doesn't have the same account switching capabilities.
Tho post editing in thunder is still not released.
