There are very good chances Matt control majority of Automattic. It's private company so he can do whatever he wants. Also their employee "shares" dont have any voting rights: https://ma.tt/2024/10/o

Microtransactions exist because there are people who happily pay for them, but not spend similar amounts on high-quality pay-to-play single-payer games. It's just a market with supply and demand. As about distribution platforms neither

I personally not making mobile games or ones with microtransactions. Yet you can basically choose: either there will be microtransaction games for mobile or there will be none. This is not because of developers greed, but because it's

Majority of "development companies" are also shit poor and go bankrupt in after 1 or 2 projects even if they're moderately successful. Basically it's just hard to make profit in this industry and well over 90% of games n

Telegram is not really encrypted. No one blame Signal that you can send whatever on it.

Yeah it's all true except 99% of Telegram is not encrypted by design and majority of content is publicly accessible to anyone with account I would agree with you if Telegram actually had e2ee like Signal. But it isn't. No encrypti

I'm not trying to claim Telegram uses grep or whatever. My point is even very active chats on telegram generate somewhat small amount of text data and I dont believe that searching through it require massive complex search engine with

AFAIK telegram dont have any super-advanced search features neither it instantly return you results for all these years. Also if you search less common terms it's usually take longer than less than second. And if you just run client on

PCs and phones been fast enough to have snappy search on text data for years now. Is "grep" not snappy enough for you?

TLDR: 99.95% of messages on Telegram stored as plain text on their servers and only encrypted between client and telegram server. End-to-end encryption only working for 1on1 chats, not available half of their clients and have terrible UX.

This is actually great blogpost since too many people tend to believe that Telegram is somehow more secure and private then alternatives on market. Also it's not like Telegram dont have censorship. During last 3-4 years there was many

Telegram basically have "trust me bro" security. Even worse than Apple. They at least have some e2ee options.

I guess you meant to say Discord is worse Telegram that was created earlier. Though obviously many groups features got into telegram somewhat at the same time as Discord gain traction.

Reason to believe is that all their apps are open source and have reproducible builds: https://core.telegram.org/reproducible-builds Their custom encryption is questionable, but since it open source someone would find out

Most of Telegram clients except initial mobile apps was actually open source projects that was choosen by company to become "offcial" ones. They just dont implement E2EE since almost no one uses it on Telegram.

Just little correction. Modern Vietnam as marxist as China. Basically it's now non-democratic country with wild capitalism.

This is usual tactics of Putins' shills. They all very much against war, but it's certainly must be stopped as is on the current frontline. So Ukraine not controlling part of it's territories and can't get into NATO, so

I have no sympathy for Kim Dotcom, but he is not proven to be some drug cartel boss or criminal overlord. Reason he had so much cash is obvious - because back in 2012 crypto wasn't yet so successful. And the guy was US government targ

I use Firefox on both Mac and Android and it works well. I'd just wish it was proper open source project with BDFL and public team of developers and not some corporate failure.
