Ah, haven't noticed that... In that case the HipChat bit makes more sense although I still wouldn't call it popular... WhatsApp switched to Signal Protocol in 2016 however so that point still stands.

I'm a bit out of the loop... Anyone got a TL;DR for why he decided to come back to Russia knowing full well he will be arrested?

Did the author of the article bother to do any research at all? The "popular" messaging service HipChat has been dead since 2018 when Slack acquired it's codebase and moved it's users to Slack. WhatsApp no longer runs on

I'd assume they only use Go for something on the side... I don't think it's physically possible to make Go this inefficient...

They forgot to mention one crucial thing - only Signal has an open-source backend.

Here's my experience with recovering a Steam account. Some time before I lost access to my Steam account, I bought Portal 2 for the PS3 which included an activation code to get the PC version on steam for free. When I asked Steam suppo

A bit more detail would be nice... Did they build a true quantum computer? Are they running hashcat and hoping for the best? Are they targeting broken cryptos nobody uses anymore? Who knows?

I feel like this might have been, at-least in part, caused by Musk's tweet about signal being picked up by shitty trading bots...

The Telegram backend is still closed-source as far as I know. The problem with their crypto is that nobody really knows if it's secure or not because it's closed and unverified. Ever heard the first rule of encryption? "Never

True but you have to consider the app needs to be user friendly to see any real adoption... Don't get me wrong, I love Riot (or whatever it's called these days) but it's just not user-friendly for your average Joe...

IMO it works just as well and unlike Telegram it's actually credible... The telegram crypto is an absolute disaster and they have been pretty shady and defensive when asked about it in the past. Not to mention the back-end is closed-so

Not to my knowledge... I use Signal every day and haven't noticed any message loss lately.

The game is not nearly as broken as the butthurt "community" on Reddit and other sites would have you believe. I've played this game for about 80 hours on a PC, it hasn't crashed once and I haven't encountered a sin
