Oops, my bad. Trying a new mobile client and I guess it doesn't show when it's crossposted? (Or it's not in an obvious place)

Look, just because I can't prove it it doesn't mean it's not true! The truth is somewhere!

Not even a crosspost? :O Funhole abandoned :c

Yah OP seems to be out of touch

Yeah, I was confused by that, too. But hey, sensory sensitivity maybe?

That was an example, the point is it is possible to intercept it. It's been done in the wild - again that's why there's such need for other methods of 2FA.

Re: Apple or Google That's even easier for them, because, you know, they've got access to the phone. Heck, famously Apple had a bug/feature where it stored text of notifications which affected Signal, too. In that case it was law enforcement who took advantage of that, though.

I wouldn't go around sounding the alarm about SMS, because I don't think many people send stuff that shouldn't be plaintext via SMS. I like using SMS, actually, because how simple it is and you don't need 4G for that.

But the fact is messages can be read one way or another. If you want to conspire, definitely use something else.

Okay, one last time. Those are two different issues.

The whole point of this thread was that it was possible to intercept the messages. That's all. I doubt the OP needs to worry about that. But it's possible as was stated by the other poster.

It's like claiming that mail can't be intercepted. Of course it can, but generally speaking you don't have to worry about that. Though it would be foolish to claim otherwise (especially when one quick web search can show you cases when someone successfully pulled it off)

Good day.

Edit: typos

One of the first links that came up: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2021/03/16-attack-let-hacker-intercept-a-t-mobile-users-text-messages/

SMS/MMS is famously possible to intercept, by anyone, what are you talking about?

Otherwise it would be sufficient 2FA and we wouldn't have to bother devising other methods.

Sheesh indeed, boomer.

Are there any statistics on how many LLM chatbot users actually click on the source links?

It would be nice if the cross posts got hidden, I wonder if any clients do that. It's one of my favourite feature in Tusky to hide multiple boosts in your feed.

good luck to both of you!

In all fairness, overdoing it is also telling. Like the reason why Tor browser has everything standardised is because you hide in a crowd.

But not reporting anything is making you stand out as well, if you report uniquely little information about yourself with some statistics and guesswork you can be fingerprinted as well.

Sometimes people try to hide everything about themselves not realising that makes them unique and easier to identify.

I don't know. Depends on the website you visit lol. DNS, WebRTC, there are certain ways.

yep, needs to get reported.

I don't know, maybe your settings. Or your screen size. Or your IP address is leaking through something.

That's gotta get you those cool vegan powers, right?
