I declared an internal data breach, submitted it to the fed—as you legally must in this country—and shit hit the fan for that department.

You are a legend

Is it like…an app?

This bozo accomplished to actually lose billions by being an immature 4chan troll in public. He might not be a zsh wizard. but he sure is a comedic genius. You can’t make this shit up folks.

Well, we won’t starve him to death with boycotts. The notion is that he is considered the richest man in the world because of the valuation, and how much he has in collateral Tesla stock. Throwing him off the first spot seems so easy now, and it will be ego-shattering for this narcissist bastard. Good enough for me.

I do think it is mildly infuriating.

Restoring Meritocracy since 1998 give or take.

We aren’t special.

You should dial this statement way up. The population of Lemmy is definitely not a representative demographic. Nor is Reddit’s.

Some were vigilant enough to note that a group of Nazis chanting “Lügenpresse” at a Trump rally meant his “fake news” slogan was a Nazi dogwhistle. Or as Musk’s AI Grok is now conditioned to parrot: The Legacy Media.

According to the article has antisemitic connotation and it was ubiquitous in Third Reich propaganda.

There is a conceptual distinction: Encryption in transit vs. encryption at rest. You may send the packets encrypted to the server, but if they are not encrypted on the server’s file system, anyone can read them.

The real question is, why do you think governments make such a big fuss about citizens having access to military grade encryption?

There have been audits of e2ee implementations, and the algorithms used also have some objective properties. I don’t think that I have ever heard in cryptography discussions that backdoors are so widespread that the discussion is moot. I have only heard, time and time again, the opposite.

Even Apple, in this very occasion, opted to ditch the service rather than backdoor it, and in fact takes the UK to court over this. I think that the opinion that this is all for show is a tad wild, and not very well supported in this occasion.

Like every cryptology book starts with the adage “There is cryptography that prevents your little sister from reading your mail, and cryptography that prevents the government from reading your mail, and we will talk about the latter.”

On the other hand, not all implementations are created equal. Telegram was recently under fire, and there is a lot of variance in e2ee implementations in XMPP clients, IIRC.

At this point you are allowed to put “George Soros” in scare quotes too. It is a good time to be alive. /S

You expect him to conceive that different words mean different things?

I was halfway in reading this, and laughing at every fucking period. Then I said “That’s it, this is ‘Not The Onion’ material.”
