It really depends on your thread model

In my opinion the fingerprint won't do any difference anyway

Who are we protecting against?

Hackers? They can't press the button

Thieves? They don't have your pin

Someone close who knows your pin? Maybe, but this is really an overkill

Evil maid? If somebody can pull up evil maid attack, they can hack the fingerprint anyway

Governments? They hack or force you to unlock it anyway

Summary: my opinion is that fingerprint is an overkill which doesn't protect from any real thread, but costs more and lacks some functions

I think people should create new and stronger communities to fight stuff like that

Topics, groups, etc, where people discuss and organize system fighting

Any key has a pin? 🤔

DecSync?

I hope developer settings to flash a free ROM

1. When you're prohibited from using nixos
2. When there's no package for it in nixos, and you're lazy to package it yourself

Maybe it's trying to get favicons?

I will probably up this one, it's really a lot of materials, and articles, and news if you read behind all this war and politics stuff

You should really search, I tried to compile all I could find, but I'm here to stop using tg, not going back to tg and scroll Russian opposition channels for all the mentions of stuff like that

There are some articles in English that describe the events, but most of them are in Russian

Also, from the search it's really hard to find anything because a lot of stuff about the war

Here are a few topics:

1. Telegram leaking location
2. Telegram leaking IP address
3. Deleted many years ago chats/messages were recovered remotely (just recently)
4. Telegram is delaying source code publishing
5. The source code's build has a different hash and a few mb smaller than the release
6. Their data sharing reports are empty although they were openly giving data to authorities in e.g. Germany

Compilation of different technical vulnerabilities and issues of telegram(in Russian):

• https://habr.com/ru/articles/206900/
• https://habr.com/ru/articles/252911/
• https://xakep.ru/2018/10/31/telegram-plain-text-chats/
• https://habr.com/ru/articles/460655/
• https://habr.com/ru/articles/744316/

And in general, Russian government unbanned tg after it realized it can read it. I wouldn't trust anything that was unbanned in Russia or China

And one more article that lists issues of telegram: https://emisare.medium.com/так-ли-безопасен-telegram-f5a3128a1311

I'm already tired of doing this, I didn't even start on activists and how they get hacked and stuff

Good advice, but I will look into converting some to RSS and read in an RSS reader

And maybe CPU, and also need some good old fine tuning

The lawful fear us. The smart support us. The high bandwidth join us.

We are a squad. We are Torrentimous.

😅😅😅 I was wrong about down votes

Dude, are you even Russian yourself to claim this?

As a Russian person, Russian oppositionist, and formerly a drug dealer, I can say that you wouldn't use telegram for anything that needs security, since like the start of tg

Just come to Russia, register with your name two Sim cards, create telegram accounts, and message yourself that you want to blow up Kremlin. You will have FSB standing behind your door very shortly

For the very brave, no VPN, no secret chats, see ya

Edit: this was your third comment on Lemmy, and only one post, so I really doubt that you will ever do something. Also, comparing tg and wa is so Durov

I up this one, there are many messengers, all have different clients, just choose one, or make? I like the UI of WeChat, should I use it then?

It happened too many times already, telegram has a very bad record at this point, some security mistakes happen every month, c'mon, this is a really bad idea to use telegram at this point

1. I never said that telegram collaborates with Russia (I don't know if they really do, but tg is pretty insecure, and Russian govt is happy to crack it)
2. They were banned in Russia until they realized why would they ban it if they can read it (unbanning of something in Russia is another sign of something shady going on)
3. I'm Russian myself, so your gaslighting won't work, also are you Russian or Slavic too? 🤣

Porn groups are good indeed!

Depends what people

For family and friends I have nextcloud, many of them are using it (yes, i'm that one out of a million people who made their friends and family use selfhosted stuff and be happy)

Oh, yeah, the porn channels are really good indeed

I'm thinking if I can access them from some telegram channel mirror
