Remarkable investigation into Telegram by IStories (in Russian):

English version by OCCRP:

tl;dr:
👉 Telegram uses a single company with ties to the Russian FSB as their sole infrastructure provider, globally.
👉 Combined with a cleartext device identifier Telegram's protocol requires to be prepended to all encrypted messages, this allows for global surveillance of Telegram users.

Guys, I think I downloaded the wrong developer release. My Mac OS GUI is looking a lot more polished and refined than what I am seeing on apple.com
one thing that is striking to me about it is that it is one of the first i have seen that uses a visual effect that could not plausibly be implemented on and rendered by an iMac G3, unlike previous UI redesign paradigms. you do actually need some GPU shaders to adequately approximate this.
this is actually very interesting since it means that embedded device manufacturers are not going to be cloning the UI for use on, for example, your workplace's weird IoT coffee machine that has a cpu about equal in performance to an iMac G3 and has an 800x480 single-touch capacitive touch display that only runs at 10fps, or your grandma's home security system that uses the exact same SoC and panel
ngl, being someone with really strong opinions about UI design, the liquid glass ui refresh looks really well thought out and executed
this is the first ui refresh i have seen from any significant tech company in the past 12 years that has given me a strong positive first impression. i never liked the corporate flat design stuff, and most "neuomorphic" stuff gives me the creeps, like sterile hospital vibes
at least it seems that for a brief moment everyone agreed that elon musk sucks
though now that he and the trumpies arent getting along im sure there are liberal types acting like he just had a brief "nazi phase" and trying to win his heart back
i force myself to stop engaging with the news for a week and then when i come back LA is being invaded by the military
