- Comment on Telegram will now hand over your phone number and IP if you’re a criminal suspect 1 month ago:
I didn’t say that there was any network plaintext transfer. I said the server needs to have access to the plaintext at some point.
it doesn’t happen according to them
That’s not actually what they say, because it would be the cryptographic equivalent of claiming they invented a new color.
They talk about encryption at rest without mentioning the rest of their infrastructure to confuse the hell out of people that don’t understand encryption. Given your comments it seems to work.
- Comment on Telegram will now hand over your phone number and IP if you’re a criminal suspect 1 month ago:
Either way the point of telegram is not in privacy for everyone. You trade protection for convenience (cloud data and great clients)
That’s not what their marketing says.
Seeing their user base, it suits most people.
Most people have zero idea what kind of security telegram provides.
- Comment on Telegram will now hand over your phone number and IP if you’re a criminal suspect 1 month ago:
In their explanation it was specifically stated that it should be either impossible or too difficult. Keeping keys and content separately, that’s what it’s about
They’re lying? Encryption at rest does not protect at all against the server snooping around. When you send or receive a message, the server has to see it in plaintext unless you have E2EE. So there is a way for them to access the plaintext of any message you receive, and it happens automatically billions of times per day. It’s pretty easy.

Telegram’s “encryption” does not protect in any way against dump/search server side (outside of secrets chats).
Telegram’s “encryption” only protects from your ISP spying, and it’s the kind of encryption that everyone implements. Any website that does not implement such encryption would show a big red “Not secure” warning in your browser.
- Comment on Gearbox founder says Epic Games Store hopes were “misplaced or overly optimistic” 2 months ago:
A lower cut. 30% revenue cut means we pay more than necessary for games and we also miss out on some indie games that cannot be profitable with such a large cut.

I don’t mind them having account there. They need to reach people where they are after all. I’m pissed at them for not being on any platform that is not owned by a fascist enabler oligarch at best.

That’s why I avoid relying on instances maintained by this type of people and instance gravitate around instances hosted by non-profits I know and trust.
Where I am in France there are multiple very friendly non-profits that are centered around Free software and how digital technologies affect our freedom, who’ve shown to be very open-minded and responsible.

All this drama happened on Mastodon. While user migration is a great feature to have for users, it won’t solve this kind of issues.
- Comment on A Quick Refresher on The Fediverse Meta, Blocklists, and Everything Up to Now 11 months ago:
There’s no way to transfer accounts afaik
On lemmy for now there is not. But there is on Mastodon and having such a feature in lemmy is just a matter of time.

- Comment on Just Stop Oil protestors interrupt UK’s biggest games event EGX 1 year ago:
It’s the worst but it’s also where most of the money goes…
- Comment on Just Stop Oil protestors interrupt UK’s biggest games event EGX 1 year ago:
Well you have ever more expensive hardware that uses ever more reolsources to run ever more expensive games that are ever more buggy and ever deeper into the uncanney valley.
Mobile gaming on the other hand is filled with shitty addictive games filled with ads and micro transactions to scam children and the elderly out of their money. Not that desktop/console games don’t also have addictive micro transactions either.
If this doesn’t feel stupid to you I don’t know what does.
- Comment on Just Stop Oil protestors interrupt UK’s biggest games event EGX 1 year ago:
Digital terminals are a huge source of pollution for pure luxury, and gaming is a very good representation of the stupidity of the overconsumption society.

Because the UX is horrible and they (especially matrix) have a ton of privacy/security issues that Signal doesn’t have

Chokepoint capitalism.
They mention the game because it’s made by a coop.

Dead cells.
I discovered it when it was mentioned in a book by Cory Doctorow. It’s an absolutely fantastic rogue-like game.

You can see the community from mastodon and tag it: mastodon.social/@nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
To find communities from Lemmy on Mastodon paste their URLs into the mastodon search bar.

I know that on mastodon you can tag the Lemmy community to send your post to it.
Maybe there is something similar to tagging in Pixelfed that would have the same behavior.
