Are you suggesting that signing doesn't meaningfully improve security?

I meant both.

Same thing is true about the USA. I read about this recently, something like the 14 billionaires that Trump put in his cabinet have as much wealth as 50% of Americans.

It's a joke... you said that you always get a canned response, didn't you? That's the canned response I always get from them. Doesn't matter what the issue is, raising bids is always the solution.

If you're calling them acquaintances, why do you even care?

Yes it is. I only execute 1st-party JS. I do interact with people on FB, just not through FB. Escaping gmail is also possible.

Hmm sounds like you might have to increase your bids.

I'd have thought there'd be more to this, no? Because look. I don't know anything about crypto so I can't evaluate either by myself. So my only criterion to decide which is better is to ask which one has been more thorou

> TrueCrypt does disk encryption so that someone who steals your computer can't read your files. Ok true, TrueCrypt does disk encryption. I know that you can't do that with GPG. But many many people also use TrueCrypt for file

I wonder why crowdstrike is putting out this information publicly. Could it be because fancy bear made a fool out of them with the DNC debacle and now they're trying to regain some respectability?

Economies of scale guys. Lose a bit in every transaction but make up for it in scale. They're dead.

PGP can be used to encrypt at the ends, in which case it is end-to-end encryption. So that's not a different feature. Care to share what you mean by PGP leaks a lot of metadata? You might be right, I'm just not aware of such detai

You might have a point there. "Signal" feels much smoother than "Riot".
53.
by rahrahrah 10y ago
The question I would ask is: given the list of capabilities presented in this post, is there even any difference between Riot and e-mail? Or are you reinventing the wheel?

by rahrahrah 10y ago
I have the impression that Signal by now has such a great brand name that mere technical objections won't affect its growth for a very long time.

I'm keeping in theme with the parent comment? I'm glad you agree it's retarded?

I love it that there's people in the world who are so nerdy as to document such a thing.

Yeah? And Facebook isn't a social network either, it's an advertising brokerage? And Google isn't a search engine, it's an advertising brokerage? The Financial Times isn't a newspaper, it's an advertising broke

I'm not going to say this is the whole story, but... I recently tried XMPP on Pidgin for the first time on my laptop (Ubuntu), and I hate it. There's something very wrong and very ugly about the UI. It's feels just wrong. And
