It only uses some of signal’s code. Not necessarily the OOTB key storage and security.

What’s to stop an evil company uploading the keys as soon as you enter them in the App? It certainly wouldn’t stop Meta.


Yep, If they can access messages that are deleted from your device, then they have the keys.


They used Signal’s code for the encryption and decryption, they just also took a copy of everyone’s cryptographic keys with their own code.
They only lied by omission.


I don’t think it can be called End to End Encryption if it is actually End to End and The guy in the Middle.
Every technical definition of End to End Encryption states only the Sender and Recipient have keys to decrypt the message.
Anything else is using “End to End Encryption” purely as a marketing term like “Lite” or “Pure”.


When I was a kid, my stepdad set up a telescope so I could see Haley’s comet in all its glory. I’ll almost certainly be dead by the time it’s back in 2061.


I’m be ready to try it. Having to take my readers off to walk around, and put them on to glance at my phone is a real drag. I also need another pair for using my PC as the screen is further away. It’s a real hassle, so I’d pay really good money to have a good looking pair that auto-adjusts for these uses.
If it’s a subscription model though, it can eat a bag of dicks.





I’ve used uBlock Origin for years, but the dev doesn’t accept donations because he doesn’t want an obligation to support the software ongoing. This means I cannot support him even though it would come with no expectations, just thanks.
So thank you for your hard work Raymond Hill/gorhill You’re amazing, doing your part to make the world a better place.


Yeah, I’ve never had it crash. Sorry your setup is broken somewhere.


That’s good, now I can remain being happy with something I’m happy with. You’re the best!


Spot on. It’s exhausting


China is already the biggest trade partner of most of the world.


Felony convictions.


It depends.
If you’re old and wealthy, doing it for the education, not for the income, then it’s never too late. If you’re not, then spreadsheet it. Calculate expected working life and expected income for current career trajectory, and compare with expected working life after education and expected income for new career minus full cost of further education including lost income while studying.
Or if your current works options suck, pursue further education so you can do something that doesn’t suck as long as it won’t leave you much worse off by retirement.
The calculations will be different for every person.
Remember any calculations and expectations will change over time, especially with the advent of AI. So do the calculations, then follow your heart. There’s no guarantees.

Bigger vehicles with high hoods too.


JFYI: Your quote sates that it is within 100 miles of a border or coast. Not 80 :(


It so they can profile you and adjust their pricing depending on how wealthy you are and if you really need the product. Dynamic pricing is coming and it’s going to be brutal. They’re not collecting these enormous datasets on every household for marketing only.
Or they can make a copy of the encryption keys on creation. Using the code is very different than using the code unedited, or using all the code.
