If you don’t want cloud storage to do this, you need to use cloud storage that doesn’t allow sharing between users. If it allows that, people will misuse it for piracy, which will lead to this.

Didn’t matrix add e2e just recently?

That’s a blast from the past for me! Some years ago, in 2014 or so, at a small startup I was in, we tried to make all communication encrypted. So we had as an official communication channel just Jabber and OTR. (Note, it was before Slack ex

Exactly. Reading the docs makes me feel something is a bit “wrong”. But I felt like this before when I switched from subversion to git (“why would I download all history, always???”) so, who knows.

You never really know. But nobody is going to burn zero days on mass surveillance. It’s just for specifically targeted people.

There are two different types of attacks. One is fly-by attacks by random viruses and ransomware. For those cases, I would not worry about pictures. Other is when you are targeted by regimes with essentially unlimited budget. In that case y

This. Twitter ads are horrible. I never ever get an actually good ad on Twitter.

lol LinkedIn used to be famously horrible in dark patterns and auto-following everyone. And what did it get them? Billions USD from Microsoft. So dark patterns work.

Facebook tracks you almost obsessively all over the web, and on its own website (with many features designed specifically to get more info about you). Twitter does neither. Which is great for the users, but probably horrible for the adverti

Apple did not coin the term. For a time they wanted to sue people for using it, but they changed their mind I guess. (And by now it has become too generic.) But they attacked the original podcast software - iPodder - for using "iPod&qu

Ad 6 - no, iPod headphones were always bad. Even back then in the 2000s, they were already better headphones available.

...the "pod" in "podcast" stands for "iPod". Podcasts were originally made for iPod.

Well, then you need to move to Russia or Venesuela or Iran or such. Goodbuy to the luxurious live you enjoy in SV. Part of being a financial criminal is to post about "hustle culture" on linkedin and doing LSD with VC buddies or s

Yeah, it’s ridiculously well made. I’m not disputing that. The protocol is weird but they built a great app on top of that. They just cannot be sustainable long term. There is literally no restriction size-wise on data you can save on the

You have not read many "hit pieces" then. My favourite one from Wired is when they critically examined Project Xanadu leader and its history. It's from 1995 but people still keep linking to it whenever Xanadu is mentioned. h

They already do on harder things like video codecs. Alliance for Open Media (AV1/VP9 creators) steam-rolled over MPEG; has everyone big on board (Apple joined recently); is open and works on Linux. Why not filesystems? But I guess as p

This article is good. Telegram is really weird and sketchy; the rants Durov posts on his channel against WhatsApp usually make no sense; and their claims of security are dubious. And TON was a disaster. On the other hand. If I did any socia

I also don't understand how filesystems work. They have like... b-trees? And inodes? Something like that. Or is inode a linux thing? No that's file descriptor... I guess? What is a journal? I don't know. Something that exists

They can determine when did the user logged in last. Signal already tracks this.

It's kind of easy - spam. Spam protection is hard. Forcing to use phone numbers is a "easy" protection against spam. It's harder to get thousands of SIMs than thousands of usernames.
