  • Signal Founder Moxie Marlinspike: Telegram is not private. There is nothing private about it. They've done a really amazing job of convincing the world that this is an encrypted messaging app

    Jump

  • I don't understand his point about restoring your messages to a new phone. How does that prove it isn't encrypted? Couldn't Telegram store the encrypted data on their server, send the encrypted data back to you and then you automatically decrypt it because you have the key?

  • Lawyers increasingly have to convince clients that AI chatbots give bad advice

    Jump

  • I had it cite a case which didn't exist. It was perfect for what I was fighting (it tends to figure out what you want to hear then makes up stuff to satisfy you).

    When I tried to search for a phrase from the case (hoping it just gave the wrong citation) it said there was no such case with that phrase.

    I asked why it said there was such a case earlier. It confessed that AI sometimes hallucinates and promised to try better in future.

  • [edit: sorry I ended up on a tangent]

    Lawyers are no guarantee. They are sloppy because they have no skin in the game, and they usually get paid regardless (although some have "uplift" fees which reward them for winning).

    It is like hiring builders for your renovation. You still have to keep an eye on them and even tell them how to do their job, which of course is always a tense situation. If you develop a good relationship you can work as a team (requires a lawyer who is not insecure).

    Best avoid situations which need a lawyer. Do not litigate lightly. There is no such thing as a watertight case. If you get a corrupt judge they can outright lie, there is no point appealing, and you can be gagged from telling anyone (even your wife, let alone a politician or journalist).

  • Queensland moves to ban pro-Palestine slogan ‘from the river to the sea’ under sweeping new hate speech laws

    Jump

  • Oct 6th situation was tenable as a starting point.

    There needed to be international pressure on expanding settlements. Obama failed.

    Hamas needed to stop its suicide and missile attacks. Oct 7 attack in particular was irresponsible.

    The Jews are not leaving the Levant and neither are the Arabs. That is the starting point, whether one has grievances re the establishment of Israel or not.

    Like we cannot expect "white" Australia to go pack up and leave. The indigenous community is not demanding that and they are not launching violent attacks.

    You seem to change your definitions when it suits you.

  • You do not question slogans historically used by groups (PLO, Hamas) calling for extermination of Jews from the Levant but I am the Nazi?

    Do you always rely on bullying to get your way?

  • Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month

    Jump

  • In Australia digital ID is not mandatory (though the government tried to make it so).

    We were the first with these adult filters.

    I don't know if a system similar to Germany was proposed but there is a security problem with having all our data collated on a government server.
