What is with these headlines these days… “Fueling a slowdown”.

Am I the only one that hates third-party clients for Desktop? They all have terrible UI and UX. Firefox + UBlock + Youtube is the way to go. For the phone it’s NewPipe or Grayjay.

It’s not even encrypted except for encryption at rest. What are you talking about?

Telegram was never safe because it’s not encrypted. Use something encrypted and open-source, so you don’t need to rely on their promises and service.

Signal is the most popular alternative. Others are Threema, Matrix, Session.

Telegram is not private at all. Nothing is encrypted except Secret Chat.

The coal is still left why exactly? Besides, neuclear is perfecly climate neutral.

What do you mean? Hypersonic are a multitude faster than 1200 km/h.

Are you trying to lecture me on what I’m doing? I know very well myself what I’m doing. I’m here for the 5 communities there are and on Reddit for the rest.

How do you know I’m not on Reddit for 90% of the time?

Isn’t the US already a surveillance country?

Are you American?

Big dog is apparently not the biggest dog if this is necessary.

This is completely unrelated.

Besides, how does AI suddenly become sentient?

Good. Competition is good.

Do you feel attacked?

This is a phenomenon that’s literally thousands of years old. It’s just basic economics. If there was good competition, there wouldn’t be any price gauging. And that’s the regulator’s fault not the company’s. Americans want their free market, they get their free market. So stop complaining.

This has nothing to do with privacy either. First of all Telegram is not a private messenger. Secondly, this is a about public forums and groups called Channels. This has nothing to do with backdoors eithe. They are simply asking them to do moderation on chats they already have access too.

Telegram has full access to this data and knowingly ignores child pornography and other criminal activity. If Facebook did such a thing for years you’d be screaming right now.

Do you have any idea what the cost is to restore 50 TB from that?

I assumed you’re only paying per GB storage. At least that’s what their S3 pricing page says. I believe transfer cost only applies if you transfer from one S3 solution to another. I’m not using it myself, so I don’t know the details. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

What happens when they decide to raise the price?

If you depend on AWS you’re doing something wrong. You should at least adher to the 3-2-1 backup plan. If you do so, you can switch away from AWS any time they change their policy.

That’s why he hired an economist as his minister of defense.

If you’re this paranoid for your backups, I’d just go with AWS Glacia and dump all your encrypted data twice a year. You can get a TB of backup for about 1 € / month.
