Who cares if someone steals your identity? Just go on the dark web and buy a new one.

Microsoft Teams works as a bulwark to keep intelligent people out of the bullshit job sector of the economy where they might disrupt the hierarchy.

“I can’t believe she was doing espionage. I thought she was into me for my money.”

older men are the worst choice for leading positions because they have trouble to keep their pants up and tend to think with their penis?

This study shows that becoming a father causes brain damage:

“First-time fathers show longitudinal gray matter cortical volume reductions: evidence from two international samples”

What do you suppose that says about patriarchy?

Having an affair with an employee and a business partner is the dumbest thing you can do as a CEO.

Correction: Doing so without a prenup is dumber.

Shooba do bop ba DOW!

If AI is so great

How come the AI did not warn him the mistress was a spy?

Falling with style.

When oligarchs do kiting, it is called “circular financing”.

The only genuine use is accessibility, but it’s purely audio/text recognition.

This is by no means to agree with him, but it occurs to me that his position is but a matter of degree from the bloatware enthusiasts’ mantra: “Unused RAM is wasted RAM!”

I’ll just say it’s an obituary and be confident that I won’t need to say more.

It’s just forward secrecy, not “perfect forward secrecy”, unless you are writing Signal press material. (Edit: Parent comment was edited to use the correct term.)

I feel that such marketing can impart a false sense of security that has bitten Session users many a time. Ask Pete Hegseth, as much as I like to see him faceplant.

Not relying on the central server largely removes the need for forward security, since you can get a similar result by creating a new account (with a new private key) on your device as often as you like. It is Signal’s reliance on a fixed identity that complicates the matter of rotating keys.

In other words, Signal is not better because it has “perfect forward secrecy”. It is worse because it needs it.

Even so, it is such a talking point that Session does intend to implement “perfect forward secrecy”.

As for “store all messages in a blockchain”, I believe that is the alternative to storing them on a central server, as Signal does. They have to be stored somewhere until you are online to receive them. If they weren’t, someone would be replying in your stead and complaining that Session does not allow users to receive messages sent while they were offline. Of course the messages are stored encrypted in both cases but only Signal associates them with your metadata.

I find it strange that you condemn Session’s use of a blockchain but are apparently unconcerned by Signal’s bundling a cryptocurrency wallet and linking it to users’ Signal accounts.

Why run Signal when Session is right there? Maybe you just like leaking metadata?

I understand that in many of the most popular subreddits (if not site-wide) mentioning Lemmy is forbidden or rewarded with a ban.

A lot of people don’t seem to understand that Steam is DRM.

No one wanted to use Steam when it was released and the only reason anyone did is vendor lock-in on copies of Half-Life that were purchased at retail with no mention of Steam until Valve altered the bargain.

Some “innovation” to force people to use your service to keep playing a game they already purchased.
