I prefer to digest text too, but still would choose to taste a meal than read a typed up printout of the flavors it contains.

If I showed up at a restaurant and was presented with a menu that didn’t describe anything about the dishes on offer, I’d be pretty disappointed.

Point being that we have limited time and a nearly limitless amount of options for how to spend it. Text summaries are a tool we can use to decide whether something is worth our time (and money) investment if we’re on the fence about it.

Thank you for distilling that down, cleared up all of the confusion I had. Cheers.

Oh, I was just interested in making a pun based on the name. 😂

To be perfectly honest I was under the impression that we had collectively bailed on PGP in favor of GPG, but based on the Wikipedia article it seems like PGP is still getting updates so maybe that’s not the case?

Well it’s not very good, it’s just pretty good.

Thank you. I’m going to restate your explanation to be sure I’ve got it:

• authorities want platforms to comply with legal requests
• when Signal gets a subpoena, they open the key locker and show that it’s empty. They provide the metadata they can (sign up date and last seen date, full stop) and tell authorities they can’t do better.
• when Telegram gets a subpoena, they open the key locker and show all the keys, then slam it shut in the face of the investigator, telling them to get bent.
• conclusion: it’s easier to never have the keys in the first place than to tease the government with them

I’m no authority on it but from what I’ve read it seems to have more to do with the social features of telegram where lots of content is being shared, both legal and illegal. Signal doesn’t have channels that support hundreds of thousands of people at once, nor media hosting to match.

Let’s assume that hashing passwords falls into the “good security” bucket, and wouldn’t be part of the “bad security” scenario.

Lmfao the proverbial tip. OK you got me there 😂

I like this analogy; it’s provocative and it made me think about the issue for longer than I would have otherwise.

However, after some thought, I don’t think it aligns perfectly since the user can simply choose not to read the article, so there’s an option where they don’t get fucked.

In the same vein, I think we could make a better analogy to sexting. You meet someone, seem to hit it off, and when the texts and pictures get a little spicy, they hit you with a, “you can pay me now and I will keep all of this in my private spank-bank, otherwise I’m going to share our entire relationship with a group chat I’m in with 1200+ people”

I think this is a bit stronger because it hits on a few notes where the hook-up analogy falls short: sharing of sensitive information, extortion in exchange for gratification, and the potential for an ongoing relationship.

Idk, what do you think?

Probably because at the end of the day:

1. Most people don’t have the tools or desire to figure out how to run an LLM locally.
2. What if I run a local LLM on my PC and I leave my home? Do I now need to learn how to deploy a VPN at home so I always have access? I could do this, but I don’t want to. Oh, you know a model that runs on Android? What if I have an iPhone?
3. Proton is a for-profit business that surveyed their customers and got feedback that customers wanted a writing assistant. This one seems the most important.

They’re arresting tourists from other countries for being pregnant? On the basis that they might… go home and get an abortion? I don’t completely follow.

You know this thread is about US federal immigration, right?

I’m not super in tune with everything that happens in the backwards US states but this doesn’t sound like something that is happening. Yes, I’ve heard that some states are or have inquired about getting data from health apps about period tracking, and I’ve read the articles about the nefarious ways that they could use that data, but I’ve seen nothing about the impact that could have on tourists.

Okay, yes, but what does this have to do with my period tracking apps?

Linux ISOs are my all-time favorite thing to torrent so this does seem like it requires further research.
