@soatok have they never heard of Crypto AG?
Jurisdiction Is Nearly Irrelevant to the Security of Encrypted Messaging Apps
Every time I lightly touch on this point, I always get someone who insists on arguing with me about it, so I thought it would be worth making a dedicated, singular-focused blog post about this topic without worrying too much about tertiary matters. Here's the TL;DR: If you actually built your cryptography properly, you shouldn't give a shit which country hosts the ciphertext for your…
Every time I lightly touch on this point, I always get someone who insists on arguing with me about it, so I thought it would be worth making a dedicated, singular-focused blog post about this topi…
Me: "Where ciphertext is stored shouldn't matter if your encryption is actually adequate."
Dozens of people: Complain about endpoint attacks.
Me: "OK, fine, I'll edit the blog post and tediously specify that it's the jurisdiction of where ciphertext is stored until the non sequitur ceases."
@soatok OMG ❤️❤️❤️ for the first FAQ item:
"I am an admin, should I drop everything and check if I am affected?"
(-1 for broken HTML that won't let me copy/paste that heading on mobile and forced me to retype it, tho.)
@david_chisnall @soatok it would be lovely to have a truly peer-to-peer solution. that would require onion routing in addition to everything Signal does. we strongly encourage attempting to develop such a thing, so that someday we might put these eggs in an additional basket.
meanwhile we're just personally grateful to be at this moment in history with even one acceptable option. that was not a given.
I'm sure this comes as a surprise to both of us

Google wouldn't lie to us.
now that I'm foone though we're gonna make some changes. Instead of reversing old PC games we're going to get super into 1970's vintage gelatin desserts
that's the spirit
I didn't want to say anything.
But it does look like something my Eastern Europe fam would make.
It's actually delicious if you drown it in mayonnaise...
...but with that hack, pretty much everything might be.
...but it conveys the hybrid point well.
if its for a fancy event we can break out the mayo fountain
Well, to be fair, I've never seen you both in the same room at the same time before. Hmmm.
Just the usual KI twist.
Like here when asked which country names start with H, Google claims Ungarn (German for Hungary) also starts with H, adding a phantasmic story that H is often used for Holland which is the Netherlands...
