@UniverseIce Another reason to abandon Galaxy phones for Pixel with Graphene.

Young and inexperienced consumers should not assume that this is a good thing. Samsung restricting or disabling Odin mode can sometimes lead to irreversible consequences. For example, if a future firmware update from Samsung causes abnormal overheating, excessive battery drain, camera malfunctions, or removes a feature you rely on, the absence of Odin mode means you will no longer have the ability to roll back to a previous version. In that situation, you would be forced to live with those problems indefinitely.

@Artechg07 @dharmvir_ You'd be useful to a fascist government.

@dharmvir_ If you're using Signal, I don't think it's for anything normal

Be honest, which one of the apps is best for chatting?

@0xMrHades @dharmvir_ WhatsApp without, surveillance, ads, and data harvesting. signal.org

@dharmvir_ I mainly use WhatsApp and sometimes telegram.. But What's signal?

@base_designs @dharmvir_ The ultimate Russian honeypot app: rys.io/en/179.html#:~….

@dharmvir_ Telegram is the ultimate app whoever thinks different haven't tried it

Obviously only Signal

@evleaks @DigitalBlerd @joeXmadre I just assume everything is politically motivated now. Either you're paying into the protection racket or you're making business decisions specifically to prevent the Tangerine Turd from shit tweeting about you.

@DigitalBlerd @joeXmadre @Avitus2187 FWIW, sounded like a mostly business-minded rationale: the brand sells poorly, I was told. Not saying politics played no role, just that someone who would know opined that the devices are not popular among the company's customers.

Some good news and bad news regarding Moto. The Razr Fold will supposedly be very aggressively priced, starting at $1500 in the US. But at least one stateside carrier may be cutting Motorola devices out of its lineup completely: AT&T is reportedly considering saying, um, Goodbye, Moto, with the Razr flip phones poised to be the first to go.

@67brics @NoahKingJr @signalapp Signal's GitHub: github.com/signalapp Android code: github.com/signalapp/Sign… iOS code: github.com/signalapp/Sign… Desktop code: github.com/signalapp/Sign… Server code: github.com/signalapp/Sign…

@67brics @NoahKingJr Signal is open-source, nonprofit, and funded by philanthropy i.e. the Signal Foundation. Signal has been funded by a charity since 2018: signalfoundation.org Their income is publicly disclosed because they're a charity: projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/org… @signalapp

@RegularVillain @NoahKingJr The false equivalence is done on purpose to sew distrust in Signal so people won't use it, because it is, in fact, the most secure and private messaging app available.

@NoahKingJr This is a false equivalency. WhatsApp and Telegram are currently monetizing and sharing user data contained in messages. Signal is not. Signal is, by far, the best option for private communication.

@JacodeWitt1 @NoahKingJr Everything I talk about needs hiding so it's not absorbed into an AI dataset sold to advertisers and barfed back at me as a targeted ad.

@NoahKingJr Lol what are you talking about that needs hiding ?🤣

@NoahKingJr Saying shit without providing verifiable evidence is peak internet.

Kash Patel chartered an FBI jet and spent $400,000+ of American tax dollars to fly to the Olympics — literally partying with Team USA in Italy while the country faces real crises and rising costs. So who the hell signed off on sending him there at taxpayers’ expense? Why was this considered “official business” when he’s standing in locker rooms and chugging beer? This isn’t a vacation rumor — it’s documented taxpayer flight time and public backlash.

@Tusk_4Real Don't pay. NewPipe on Android and invidious.io on web have been lifesavers.

I'm about to fuck around and start paying for YouTube Premium It's getting ridiculous the fucking ads I watch more YouTube than TV, movies, or streaming services 4x the ads

If you're feeling lonely on X, just post about how Telegram isn't an encrypted messenger. It'll reliably fill your mentions with 40 accounts named 'Priv8User420', all sharing made-up cryptography facts and Telegram memes. It's the closest thing X has to a support group.

@johnzee007 @TheWarMonitor @jjabbott The political affiliations are known for 170 defendants: 39.4% of those convicted were Democrats, 41.1% were Republicans, while the remainder were Independent, nonpartisan, or unaffiliated. archive.amarkfoundation.org/the2020electio…

@johnzee007 @TheWarMonitor @jjabbott 151 convictions related to a presidential or congressional race: 146 cases involved one vote, three cases had seven votes or less, and two cases had an unknown number of votes.

The DOJ plans to analyze states’ voter files and then tell states which voters to remove. (Brennan Center)

@michael_kove @defyneric @SabrinaHalper @signalapp @moxie Everything you do on Telegram is visible in plaintext to the service by default. You have to opt-in to end-to-end encryption. On Signal everything is end-to-end encrypted by default.

Signal is OG but, is he's purposely trying to misinterpret how Telegram works and Durov's entire positioning... or he's just unaware and does it to boast his Signal over Telegram? yeah, there is a central server that stores encrypted messages for Telegram. Almost every messaging app does this. People are aware of it.

Founder of @signalapp, @moxie Marlinspike on Telegram:   "Telegrams not a private messenger. There's nothing private about it. It's the opposite. It's a cloud messenger where every message you've ever sent or received is in plain text in a database that telegram the organization controls and has access to it" "It's like 'Russian oligarch starts unencrypted version of WhatsApp', a pixel for pixel clone of WhatsApp. That should be kind of a difficult brand to operate. And somehow, they've done a really amazing job of convincing the whole world that this is an encrypted messaging app and that the founder is some kind of Russian dissident, even though he goes there once a month, the whole team lives there, and their families are there." " What happened in France is they just chose not to respond to the subpoena. And so that's in violation of the law. And, he gets arrested in France, right? And everyone's like, oh, France, but I think the key point is they have the data, like they can respond to the subpoenas where as Signal, for instance, doesn't have access to the data and couldn't respond to that same request.  To me it's very obvious that Russia would've had a much less polite version of that conversation with Pavel Durov and the telegram team before this moment.
