A lot of people have issues when science does not agree with their beliefs.

Not just excessive - it's simply bad for the skin, causes rashes and fungal issues.

if I compile mtproto self from github

You didn't understand why I quoted that part the first time around. Let's try it again.

Yeah I am a cryptographer, reverse engineer and (whitehat) hacker. I'm also well versed in the russian influence operations having run rampant in the west for a bit more than a decade.

The Telegram-supporters are out in force right now specifically to make sure people keep using Telegram, believing it to be secure. Russia has already made used of their backdoors against Ukraine in the war.

Russia banning Signal now was a huge blunder, since that proves there's nothing in Telegram they don't have access to, having allowed it to keep operating.

"Access to the Signal messaging app is blocked in connection with violation of the requirements of Russian legislation which must be complied with to prevent the use of messaging apps for terrorist and extremist aims"

• Roskomnadzor

Russian authorities began to block access to Telegram, a widely used messaging app, in 2018. The action interrupted many third-party services, but had little effect on the availability of Telegram in Russia.

• Reuters

Your .ru domain makes your comments in this discussion meritless.

Not "somehow". The authorities know Telegram can indeed backdoor their service, since they know it already is. They also know Signal cannot.

Thus, since Telegram can but refuses, he gets arrested.

Russia banned Signal, but not Telegram, to make sure their citizens couldn't plan any subversive activities against the state.

That's all we needed to know for sure.

What has Telegram got to do with privacy? Russia banning Signal but not Telegram tells you all you need to know.

Services paid for by ads is the source of enshittification.

Companies should pay for Kagi for their employees. Better search results AND less risk of downloading keyword sponsored malware.

Absolutely awesome tower defense games. We played it over and over for a very long time.

The best way to accomplish that is to tell people that Kagi has better search results than Google and Bing (which is true).

Russia invaded Georgia in 2008. That success likely had a role in why they continued with Ukraine in 2014.

Sorry, I forgot to make it clear that the point was that your "maybe in the future..." is already the same as how it works now. No difference.

This is how the protocol works.

1. You only get content from those you follow (in your home feed).
2. Your server's local feed will contain all posts made by users on your server.
3. Your server's global feed will contain all posts from users someone on your server follows.

Note how #3 isn't actually a global feed. Spin up your own server at home and it will be the same as your home feed when you're the only users.

Even if you federate with Threads, there's simply no way for them to "inject ads" into any of these feeds.

You don't get posts from accounts you don't follow. My server's global feed only includes posts from accounts people on my server follow.

Just claiming "it will" is not a counter argument. That's not how the protocol works.

I follow many Threads accounts.

/literally one more than no one

No, not bold. You don't get posts from accounts you don't follow.

Creating ads as if they are from a person would get Threads instabanned in the EU.

Ads don't federate.

I pay 25EUR for a family subscription. Unlimited queries. Also means the risk of family members downloading malware (through paid ad results) is a lot lower.
