Nope, smart states do that. Heat can be stored. Heat when it's cheap.

Like storage systems, yeah. Bitcoin only makes it worse, because it uses/wastes energy of which we don't have enough clean one

So does mining. Just turn off fossil based plants and you reduce needed max capacity. Didn't know we have too much energy with a low carbon footprint.

We can use storage systems to smooth out supply/demand of electricity. Mining is unsufficient, because it can't provide energy in the night when the sun is not shining. Storage systems can

So PGP and the encryption protocol of Threema aren't proper encryption protocols? Then, how do you break the key? Brute force? If you break one key that way, it's likely you could break equally secure keys as well. Access to the d

Thanks for the link. Actually, didn't even know that WhatsApp changed their backup mechanism, which previously used a mechanism that allowed e.g. google to obtain the messages. Overall, the concept seems to be the same: use a secret, o

Element does not fetch any message from their servers in general. If you use a server hosted by Element and don't disable encryption, e2ee encrypted messages will be fetched from their servers. What is "it" that in your opini

I have nowhere called them end-to-end encrypted Backups, that's a straw man. > Regarding the security theater, the backups encrypted with your password are far more vulnerable to being compromised than any of the popular e2e encrypt

How is that? Only you as a recipient can decrypt the messages, because they are sent e2ee to you. And this stays true if you use the backup, as only you know that password.

It backups your keys encrypted with a password only you know at server side (opt in) When you login, you provide that password, and Element can use that to decrypt the keys and use these to decrypt the messages stored in the cloud Alternati

Checkout Element, it covers all that as well. However, the Desktop App is Electron, so I don't know if you are OK with that

TBH I would consider Matrix the way to go regarding chat. It allows app and vendor independent communication and combines e2ee with Synchronisation across arbitrary many devices (something that many people like from Telegram). These days, T

You could bridge Signal with Matrix and then use two Matrix clients. Quite a workaround, but should work ;-)

Imo WhatsApp also should have been interoperable and without phone number obligation. WhatsApp basically killed interoperable chat by jumping on phones and building a near-monopoly.

Unfortunately, you can't simply choose. Messaging apps that don't interoperate inherently create forces to use their app if you have contacts you want to reach on that app
