@dat ich hasse es JEDES VERDAMMTE MAL bestätigt zu werden wenn meine #Ablehnung sich in #ToldYaSo-Elemente umschlägt!
@midtsveen it's really fucking sad how much mileage I can pull out of #ToldYaSo! - style videos from commenters like #Sterling...

@GossiTheDog Obviously this is nothing new, as #Microsoft's #CryptoAPI is so #backdoored that it's basically #Govware.

I'll be collecting apologies once the next #ToldYaSo hits.

Add to that #CloudAct and then you know how @signalapp that rubs off #AWS not only can but will snitch on users because if they didn't #Trump (and #Biden befire him) would've unplugged them harder than #EncroChat got.

I'll be shouting #ToldYaSo and expect all those #Signal shills to apologize to me personally when the shit inevitably hits the fan!

@andnull@social.nouveau.community no, but they want to be ableto #snitch and #dox users. - Only #cops demand #ID or any *"#KYC" with #PII. - #PhoneNumbers are #PII and are at best merely pseudonymous, but trivially to link to a person. Good systems are #decentralized, #federated, #SelfHosting-capable, #OpenSource & #OpenStandard and offer *real #E2EE* (with #SelfCustody of all the keys!)… - See #XMPP+#OMEMO (i.e. @monocles@monocles.social / #monoclesChat & @gajim@fosstodon.org ) and #PGP/MIME (see @delta@chaos.social / #deltaChat and @thunderbird@mastodon.online )… Anything else is either a #HoneyPot or run by #UsefulIdiots that consider snitching on their customers as valid strategy. - Cuz we all know neither @Mer__edith@mastodon.world nor anyone else at @signalapp@mastodon.world is gonna [risk jail for their users](https://web.archive.org/web/20220112020000/https://twitter.com/thegrugq/status/1085614812581715968), and by the amount of users they have, it is a statistical inevitability that they would've had to do so already.

@soatok @sarahjamielewis it's called inconvenient truth, m8.

#Gaslighting won't change the #fact that #Signal is evidently garbage! and it's advocates are useful idiots for #US #intelligence...

  • I'll expect your apology when the time comes...

#ToldYaSo #thxbye #EOD #next

@kkarhan@infosec.space Cool story

Furry.Engineer - Duct tape, hotfixes, and poor soldering!
Update: To no one's surprise gambling has become a huge problem in sports now. This Chauncey Billups story is super crazy, and it's just one story of many. #ToldYaSo

@dzwiedziu @0x4d6165

I've no patience for bullshit & gaslighting.

  • Even if that was a correct counter-argument, you don't have to serve your comms on a silver platter to hostile actors, like a total idiot.

Your continued disinformation endangers peoples lives and I sincerely wish to be wrong, but alas I'm not!

  • And it's not that I've not given @signalapp a fair chance but they went out of their way to literally step into every pit and bucket they could.

#JuristictionMatters and ignoring this - alongside the extreme #centralization of #Signal makes you sound like a #UsefulIdiot!

  • Alas you'll have time to apologize when this shitshow implodes and I'll be shouting #ToldYaSo!

Or have you never asked how #Sinal "keeps it's lights on"?

  • Or how they are knowingly being allowed to offer their sevices to nationals under Embargo that neither #aws not any #hoster that falls under #CloudAct would even remotely allow? Cuz those #ITAR - exemptions require permit from the US government (Treasury Dept.) that is harder to obtain than a destructive device dealer/manufacturer/importer license (from the ATF)...

And no I cannot elaborate further on that example!

#EOD #thxbye #next

@signalapp@mastodon.world Call me [*"Hans Bühler"*](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_B%C3%BChler_(Kaufmann)) but #Signal has an even bigger #stench than [ANØM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Trojan_Shield), [Crypto AG](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto_AG), [EncroChat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EncroChat) and [Omerta Digital](https://omertadigital.com) together...

@digyoursoul almost as if #tariffs are designed to shaft #buyers, not #producers!

#USpol #Trump #ToldYaSo

@th3f4ult WELL, #WhatsApp NEVER was properly encrypted.

If they had proper E2EE they'd be illegal in #Russia, #KSA, #Iran and "P.R." #China...

-> I #ToldYaSo!

We have @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu [rightfully!] crack down on #cars and their #emissions by demanding ever lower #FleetEmissions and #FuelConsumption numbers but still accept #Bloatware like shitty #WebApps and #Windows11 to demand so much #WastefulComputing that it's painful. - Margaret Hammond and Grace Hopper must be rotating in their graves, pointing out how they got people on the moon with less storage than the SPD-ROM on a RAM stick and how their programming language still runs #TradFinance like a clockwork respectably, but somehow sending text messages is too much for a machine that costs €499 yet has more computational power than all the machines they worked on combined. #WastefulComputing like all those [phat & enshittified messengers](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114873864980037941) should be illegal. - Espechally since they have 0 reason to be that resource intensive, even if we believe some of their security-focussed [marketing lies.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PW3O2mqTn8)

@njoseph so basically the #USA will flex #Cyberfascism and hold the rest of the world #hostage like some state-run #ransomware deal...

Which means I'll soon be helping the highest bidder (that isn't a shitshow!) to get rid of #Windows, #MicrosoftOffice, etc. in favour of #FLOSS!

  • Anyone wo didn't expected #CloudAct & #ITAR to be weaponized by the #Trump regime like that is just deranged since the #ICC got attacked this way.
