Not sure how this relates to the net effect of WhatsApp.

Sure, I understand that Meta is not an example of morality but, like elections, it’s not something an individual in isolation can decide

I have and it’s my default and I try to contact people there… still.. 90% of the people don’t have it

FB and IG, sure. WhatsApp is not that easy.

In Europe is almost like saying that you don’t have a phone number. 🙄

Yes, and these are facts… the Elon musk is changing election votes with his satellite is a conspiracy theory.

This kind of conspiracy theories push the people to not vote “because it is pointless to vote”

Please, let’s not start “elections are rigged” on the other side of the spectrum as well.

If I recall the story correctly, the dude holding it knew what he was doing and did multiple times. Also he was terminal ill so he really didn’t care if things went wrong.

So I guess who knows even more may be relieved if in favour of consensual euthanasia 🤷‍♂️

“Google the owner” before intending to spend money with a company?

Didn’t Google donated to the inauguration fund? Isn’t it ironic?

my source is a super solid “dude on internet” 🤷‍♂️

Call me old fashioned but I really think that for real E2EE the vendor of the encryption and the vendor of the infrastructure should be two different entities.

For example PGP/GPG on … great! Proton? Not great

Jabber/XMMP with e2ee encryption great! WhatsApp/Telegram/signal… less so (sure I take signal over the other two every day… but it’s enough to compromise a single entity for accessing the data)

This is actually an interesting question.

They experimented with “office hours” for doctors and patients were dying more than double/triple shift.

This because the information lost during handoff was more valuable than doctors being more tired (and by consequence doing more mistakes).

This is a textbook example of the risks of lost context

The only safe phone is a phone with no data.

Otherwise there will be tools to gain full access.

Without forgetting the good old rubber hose attack

FWIW I think the only way to keep confidential information is hosted in another country, encrypted, with no credentials (or even the name of the server) cached, all on open sources stacks, with the infrastructure provider different from the operating system provider different from the application provider and encryption provider

Is this convenient? No Is this accessible to the average user? No

I just think something at certain point went extremely wrong in history. We accepted control in exchange of convenience

Sorry to hear that.

There is also another option: that she always was like that but you were blindfolded by love

Israeli army is significantly made of conscripts. Men need to serve at least 3 years compulsory military service, women 2 years.

And I am sure not all of them support the government. I would go as far as the one with PTSD and committing suicide are the ones that less support the talking points of the government

Genuinely curious… why using root for operations like these?

All this makes sense… Instilled fear and paranoia for generations.. and now they collect the fruit of it.. people are afraid that Iran will nuclear bomb them (with a bomb that Iran doesn’t have) if they don’t final solution Iran

This was mentioned at the time of the story of the lake. The Epstein files include also the unverified tips to the FBI.

The strategy here is they are slowly releasing outlandish and unverified accusations first, slowly so that people start debating “is it true? Is it false?”

These are realistically all false (and this is the point) so when the real, verified, documented things will come out

1. They will sound minor
2. People that were invested (at the time realistically) in saying these are false, will keep in saying that are false.

The Bunba story, for example, now seems small and fake (while it was mentioned by people that were there not like this BS that was tipped by some idiot anonymously on internet)

In other words these are all attempts to discredit the Epstein files.

And based on a lot of conversations here… it seems that they are successful (and the average Lemmy user has waaay more critical sense than, let’s say, Facebook user)

One of the issues with LLM is that it attracted all attention. Classifiers are generally cool, cheap and saved us from multiple issues (ok face recognition aside 🙂)

When the AI bubble will burst (because of LLM being expensive and not good enough to replace a person even if they are good in pretending to be a person) all AI will slow down… including classifiers, NLP, etc

All this because the AI community was obsessed by the Turing test/imitation game 🙄

Turing was a genius but heck if I am upset with him for coming with this BS 🤣

No, the articles are reliably allucinated by Grok… with a sprinkle of editing for making sure the echo chamber is air tight

ChromeOS was exactly mean for that
