I wonder if ACs have doom loop effect. They produce more heat than cold, so eventually you need to deal with even more heat (on a global scale), prompting even more AC use

The article does not describe what encryption it uses, it described how they’re abusing it. Whatsapp using Signal protocol is public knowledge.

What I’m trying to say is that a company using signal for it’s messaging app does not imply your data is safe from that company or governments.

You recommending an app purely because of Signal protocol under an article about how an app abuses signal protocol is pretty fucking ironic (aka. bad timing)

EDIT: Alright TikTokkers, I looked up the source on Google so that you don’t have to spend 30 seconds: https://signal.org/blog/whatsapp-complete/

You can stop downvotting me now.

Read more than just the title ffs

Read the article? An app using signal does not imply that your data is still encrypted from corporations or government. Your neighbour joe is not very likely to break already established SSL, so using signal feels like someone is trying to sell me a bridge. Sense of false security. In fact, that was probably their goal all along.

The telegram was clear as a day they announced cooperation with the Russian government and they unblocked it. That was way before the whole France fiasco, I doubt they’re actually giving up the keys to France. I’m from East and many say that Telegram now is essentially a Russian weapon. Surveillance at home, total free reign (sell drugs, spread CP, etc.) in west.

If you’re American, I believe Telegram is actually safer than Whatsapp, as long as you can ignore the dirty side of it (surface deep web?), hence why Europe wants it under control

Well, Whatsapp uses signal. Bad timing

Debatable

My experience is that they all look terrible up close, for whatever reason. TVs are essentially designed for further-back viewing

I guess it’s refreshing to find out it’s not just US constantly leaking military secrets

just accept being filmed at all times in public?

Funny you say that. There was a YouTube channel (that also spawned those NPC meme videos) that randomly went up to people and started recording them without context/saying anything. The idea was to bring attention to the fact that you’re being recorded in public spaces constantly, by bazillion cameras around

Do something interesting and you might find yourself online by one of those cameras

I love how “After Trump won” is a legit basepoint when everything went to shit, even if unrelated (AI was going to happen regardless of politics)

For your information, Russia invaded European country. This would be closer to Venezuela seizing US tanker, not US seizing Venezuela’s

I didn’t know human can be so red and unhealthy looking while still being alive, and this is the dude responsible for making health decisions on massive scale? Lmao Americans

I’m often glad I don’t live in a country that neighbours China. It’s just like with Russia, at the core they’re imperialists who over the time consume/attack/puppet ALL their neighbours, sooner or later, and they will keep expanding. Hopefully I’ll be dead by the time they reach my country

This is too cursed

Wait till you find out Russia decriminalized domestic abuse

It’s the main purpose of them, yes. Define TV to me. I don’t see the point of paying for decoders, smart TV and bunch of other things I’ll never use, much smarter decision is to buy a monitor which focuses on image quality and performance, far more suitable for consoles, Roku, etc.

Commenter above low-key described that OLED as a monitor more than a TV

Well, the top killer is Boost, which is a client for Lemmy, sitting at 1/3 battery usage.

TV

2026

Honestly, don’t remember the last time I watched TV
