Teardown

Some levels just feel like a grind

Probably them investing mostly in AI hardware nowadays (not sure what %) is the reason

The Thunderhead we have at home:

I think some don’t think of the ramifications. Some willingly let Google follow them around and save their location

Fair enough

I was talking about the “educating people” part. I interpreted as “let’s steer them away from Signal towards a better solution”. If it’s not the intent then my comment is irrelevant

Not = content not encrypted, or not worse

Accept defects != ignore

I have a credible source that says they’re scanning media being sent. They have a CSAM or related department. No idea how that works but I heard it exists. Can’t find anything about it on the internet however to confirm

Worse with an asterisk. For making contents encrypted - no, anything else - yes

Opinion: I think painting in Signal in such negative light is more harmful in the practical sense. Having fragmented messaging towards the public that does not care about many of these aspects just makes them a lot more hesitant to change, from my perspective.

We as a community should, in my opinion, pick a “good enough” solution for the majority of the people we interact with. That in itself is a market force to show interest and demand for private solutions. Most people I know don’t have the tools or knowledge or time to understand nuances and all they’ll hear are conflicting messages.

For us more technically inclined people: hell yeah, let’s figure out the ideal model and bring it up to maturity so others can join when it’s fleshed out. E.g. when lemmy came to my attention in the reddit 3rd party app fiasco, I was really confused on how to sign up and use it. And I’m no stranger to tech.

Noise pollution also in ths inaudible range

Or even be released in any form (I’m assuming here AI doesn’t use DDR memory but some oyher related type)

They should’ve went with football fields instead, and weight in washing machines

Just like WhatsApp did when they introduced the TOS change for WhatsApp for Business

Can instances be hosted abroad instead? Or are host admins liable as long as they’re in an age verification required jurisdiction
