Because I live in a very authoritarian government. That is how I know. The weakest link is not the server. The weakest link is the user device. There is no security without anonymity.

If the mass murder committed by Israel against the Palestinian, Lebanese and Syrian people does not horrify you, then you don't have shred of humanity left in you. Arguing about pedantic details does not change that.

E2EE is nice to have, but not the magic cure Signal advertises it is. The #1 most authoritarian governments access chats is by forcing people to unlock their phone. At which point Signal's obsession with phone numbers becomes a huge l

What is wrong with helping Palestine? Are we to look the other way as the genocidal religious zealots in Tel Aviv commit mass murder?

The bigger news here is that China is rapidly winding down its holdings of US debt. This is very bad for America. We'll see American standards of living decline without the Chinese financing American extravagance.

Is Europe or the US engaged in slave trade right now? Israel is committing mass murder right now. There is a difference between past evils that can't be helped and present evils that we have the power to stop.

Rwandan genocide was almost 30 years ago. There is nothing I can do to help there. Israel is comitting a genocide and attacking/murdering everyone right now. That is the crucial difference.

People thought this nutjob lunatic would save Intel? Hah, this guy is part of the reason why Intel failed in the first place.

The real gamechanger (pun intended!) was Vulkan. DXVK is very performant.

In my experience, the only Windows games that don't run on Linux are those with malware-esque anti-cheat that explicitly block Linux. Almost all games I tried worked out of the box.

I can't verify this anywhere. The latest information appears to be that Nikolai Durov lives in Dubai.

Anyone who thinks that vendor lock-in is a security feature didn't learn a thing from the Crowdstrike incident last year. The biggest security incident in the history of the entire internet was caused by a cybersecurity ''ve

Telegram's founders are in exile from Russia after the Russian government took over their previous venture (Vkontakte). It is misinformation to associate Telegram with the Russian government.

This is yet another red flag from Signal. Telegram was not disrupted during the AWS crash, so they probably were not using it (or had a decent fail-over mechanism to a backup system). Telegram's user-base is two orders of magnitude la

Trusted computing is just another name for vendor lock-in. It was never about security.

I play a lot of older games from 90s and 2000s. They certainly work better on Linux+Wine+DXVK than on Windows.
