Google did a security research around ssl and a crazy percentage of people think the lock icon is actually a handbag icon. The rest of the research highlighted how most users aren’t able to make informed choices, most people lack the techni

It’s a big pie, they’re also fairly different. And to be honest it’s only a matter of time before Telegram has a (public) security incident that drives much more people to E2EE messaging.

I’ll bet that user’s sending plaintext sms’s thinking they were secure end to end encrypted messages did much more harm.

You do realise Telegram isn’t secure (non-e2ee), is Russian owned and is based in the Middle East. Enjoy whatever privacy that provides.

Well for what it’s worth it sounds like you weren’t really using Signal for secure messaging anyway… so not much of a loss.

A few years ago I would have agreed, but right now Signal is doing just fine taking users from WhatsApp (FB TOS changes + ads + social group analysis)and Telegram (sketchy non-e2ee, Russian owned, based in the middle east).

SMS and security are simply incompatible. And either you fall into one of two groups 1. You know sms is insecure and this is a insecure method of communication 2. You think sms sent via signal is secure because it’s a “secure messenger”. It

I don’t think Adguard, the Russian tech company registered in cyprus, but with mostly Russian employees living in Russia has our best interests at heart.

Not sure you’re correct, its still possible for a malicious home-server to add a malicious client to a user and spy on the conversation. This is because the protocol doesn’t require room management messages to be authenticated?

Super humble guy. Chatted with Peter a few times at meet-ups, talks etc. Never had any idea he was so accomplished. He will be missed.

When did you throw in the towel? In the last year or so they’ve been rock solid for reliability. (Note: some Android devices background app memory/power/cpu management of Signal effetely makes any type of messenger useless.)

Not even going to try engagement with you, your replies either lack any sort of critical analysis of the facts or you’re acting in bad faith. Putin has lied since day 1. His words betrayed his motives and the facts about his actions are cle

Medium is pretty much on death row now. It’s gone through so many failed business model changes, its not a pleasant reading experience, and it’s brand isn’t great.

France, Italy and Germany’s economic comfort is absolutely meaningless in the face of what Russia is doing. You haven’t figured out the fact that peace with Russia is a country being invaded, looted, with thousands murdered, war crimes and

In each case you’ve listed the companies are clearly guilty. You’re proving my point for me.

Funny we execute people based on that standard, but yet it’s somehow lesser here…

And idea why the Apple Weather app still has the “The Weather Channel” logo on it? I hope they continue to support Darksky, at least until the Apple Weather app is on par with it.

Looks like they stopped discussing external politics and went hardcore on internal politics. Lets see how “mission focused” Coinbase are now.

Ah traditional banking, where tech teams are disposable, seasonal and underpaid. Good luck to anyone who trusts a traditional bank with their technical career.

Will this be met with a shrug from the JS community? Or is this the come to Jesus moment for the JS supply chain?
