Okay so now might be the time to fire up these Snowflake plugins!

@DerSchulze wait wait whaaaat?? Abriss-Party?
Du willst nicht ernsthaft sagen, dass die jetzt tatsächlich an die Bundesstraße umziehen? 🤯

@Nachtflug "Sie verstehen das nicht, wir brauchen den Zuschlag um Geld vom Bund zu bekommen und damit die marode Infrastruktur zu reparieren!"

@rysiek yeah I've read the blog post now and it did indeed clear up some things for me. The idea still *feels* weird but I see some very viable scenarios to use it.

I will definitely still object to people blindly recommending it to vulnerable groups though.

I've often seen: "it's encrypted, free software, and decentralized! You should use it!", being thrown around...and I think you definitely need to understand a) your threat model and b) the cryptographic properties of the protocol and how they map to your threat model.
But to be fair, that's true for any messenger.

One thing that I could see being a problem for some, for example would be deniability. As far as I understand the protocol, right now we have the exact opposite property: non-repudiation

@rysiek interesting, thanks for the link! I have had that gut reaction based on my limited understanding of delta chat...but mostly when people here recommend it to activists/journos/other vulnerable groups, over stuff like Signal.

@malwaretech

@Edent @bogo now on to find an optical drive 😅🙈

Well I've been let go from position in Belgium and man am I not excited to go back to America. If anyone has any job openings in Belgium, Netherlands or England that sponsors, I'd appreciate it.

@leyrer CISSP Wochenend-Crashkurs und ab geht die Gelddruckmaschine 🚀

@troed @GossiTheDog plot twist of the year would be if the "dataset" they're talking about turned out to be "any image file uploaded to an S3 bucket between 2022 and today" 😬

@nyanbinary I was *this 🤏* close to getting rage baited 😁
