Also the blatant dismissal of absolitely basic #OpSec & #ComSec is just flabberghasting.
- It's inherently wrong to put all eggs in one basket and #Signal being not shut down like #SkyECC & #EncroChat makes it just as sus as #ANØM / #OperationIronside / #OperatioTrøjanShield and #CryptoAG / #MINERVA / #RUBIKON.
Only #decentralized, #OpenSource & #OpenStandards can actuall survive long-term and remain #secure.
- Otherwise we'd all gaslight ourselves into ignoring the hard lessions we learned that bought us to the #Fediverse and why we ain't on #Shitter or #tumblr or #BrownSky or #NSAbook (any more)!
It's the same reasons we use #PGPG/MIME & #SSH and not #X400 & #X25!
- Unlike with @signalapp one doesn't has to trust the provider or app. #XMPP+#OMEMO works regardless if you use @monocles or @gajim or do #SelfHosting and only trust code you wrote yourself...
IOW: Think "How can you weaponize Signal?" and see what you csn do just holding key people in contempt...
- And I'm not even talkibg about #Govware - #Backdoors and #MassSurveillance alike #Room651A, but just duely submitted warrants that @Mer__edith will comply with...
The less #info a provider has, the less they can be forced to snitch upon customers.
- So even if you don't give a shit that #CloudAct makes this a "#CantUse & #WintUse" (out of US-centrist privilegue to not comply #GDPR & #BDSG) for many, it's still dishonest.
"#JustUseSgnal!" is a form of dangerous "#TechPopulism" aimed at bamboozling #TechIlliterates who don't know better, abusing information asymetry to pull rank instead of investing the time and effort to *explain "how" and "why" this is indeed a good or bad idea.
- There's a reason why @tails_live / @tails / #Tails doesn't include #Signal and why I'll say it again that XMPP+OMEMO over @torproject / #Tor is the gold standard in terms of #privacy and #security when it comes to #ComSec that isn't #airgapped aka. "Airgapped PGP".
The only ones that have a chance to beat that are @delta / #deltaChat but that's just #PGP/MIME #eMail in a nice UI...
- You may now laugh at me and think my "#TinfoilHat sits too tight" but I'm shure sooner or later I'll be evidenced as correct...
Hachyderm.ioCassandrich (@dalias@hachyderm.io)@kkarhan@infosec.space @signalapp@mastodon.world @monocles@monocles.social @lauren@mastodon.laurenweinstein.org Very few systems promoted as Signal alternatives match the cryptographic privacy properties (see: ratcheting, etc.) of Signal.
The claims about "located in the USA" and "Cloud Act" are all nonsense because the only threat to Signal users from this is availability (seizure and shutdown of the server infrastructure), not undetected breakage of privacy properties.
There are presently no systems with superior privacy properties to Signal *and* level of functionality on par with what general public expects. There are a lot (like the XMPP stuff, *sigh*, and Matrix) that are worse in both regards. If you're happy with reduced functionality, Cwtch (and possibly some other similar Tor-based systems) or VeilidChat are stronger, but it's gonna be a while before you convince normies to use them, and in the mean time they're still going to be on insecure shit like WhatsApp, FB Messenger, Telegram, etc...
I've worn a tinfoil hat.
idk I think it was a Halloween costume wizard hat or something, but it was covered in foil.
Gets very hot.

@foone you don't get it, we were heading towards snowball Earth and the industrial revolution staved it off. #TinfoilHat
Workday down, Cloudflare API down. Both say due to a power outage in their datacenter. Hmmmmm. #TinfoilHat

2/3 Worst of it is, I'm only partly joking. It's real #tinFoilHat territory, but I can't bring myself to give up on the idea. I guess it's kinda my cute pet?
The only reason to have #billionaires is to make it easy for a relatively small alien invasion force to take over the planet.
The aliens need only control the humans at the receiving end of the wealth/power funnels.
I bet they're thinking precious thoughts 
.
But we will never know, and more importantly neither will the NSA thanks to the protective headgear
The internet as a whole has a child abuse problem and you're not helping solve it by putting on your #TinfoilHat and claiming anyone who quantifies #CSAM on your fave platform is a shill for anti-privacy legislation or funded by surveillance capitalists to discredit the open web
Hiding your head in the sand doesn't make the problem go away, it just guarantees you won't have a say in the solution

@alternative_be I don’t trust search engines, so I’m indexing the internet myself and storing everything on home-built computers in my basement.
(No, actually I’m using Google for pretty much everything)
Clearing out some archive images and came across this, from last year, worth a repost to point out how ridiculous some #Covid #TinFoilHat Conspiracies became.
This woman claimed she had a '5g transmitter' fitted.
I read dead tree publications more than online ones these days. Paper is a great technology. It’s cheap, difficult to alter after publishing and doesn’t require a battery. I hope it will see a resurgence. Letter writing would be a nice thing to see revived too.
Digital = efficient
Physical = meaningful
