  Man, this is a high-quality joke... why am I crying?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your approaches to donating?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I honestly belive that donations are like savings. For people who do then this is the first expense out of their income. People who try to do it out of what's left after all important stuff is covered really do it, becouse we all spant "all" every month. What's different, is the definition of "all" if you manage to hide important stuff there buy "paying yourself first" it's much easier to cover thing you truly care about.

  That's... I'm speechless. I tought it was idiotic when it "just" suggested that workers beg to work more. It had a brazen "abuse and ridicule working people" spin on it. But it not about economic slavery... It's about the acctuall slavery? That is... we need a word for idiotic and evil and the same time.

  Thanks for the context.

  What do you mean?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT's Impact On Our Brains According to an MIT Study⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  OK, let's slow down for one secounf.

  1) if you re-designed it with complex multiplication problem instead od writtng tasks, and calculators instead of chat gpt - and chamge nothing more - you would get exactly the same result. If you reduce the challange to minimum, how do you expect brain to respond?
  2) The "we have this not-reviewed singular study based on 50 people" we should raise the alarm NOW" is every sensational.

  There are so many problems with AI, and we need so many checks and balances. Sure. But let's not change it into another "our pop-science vs their pop-science" kind of problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Telegram is indistinguishable from an FSB honeypot⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the part that resonated with me the most as the casual user. The interface is, so confusing that the differences between various forms of chats seems deliberately unclear. And all that's "useful" is opt-in. And Groups - most used in corporate or project setting, can't be encrypted at all? That's... peculiar.

  Again, thanks for the eye-opener.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Telegram is indistinguishable from an FSB honeypot⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, I can't stress enough how much I appreciate it. What I do right now is sending this article with TLDR to all my friends and family.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Telegram is indistinguishable from an FSB honeypot⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Any advice for people that used it in the past? After reading the article, my understanding is that what was sent in "private chat" was in fact encrypted (for the most part) and can be considered secured (to the degree - something is off and, maybe we didn't find out yet, how the encryption is compromised). But it would wise to treat all other conversations as something that is compromised. Is this a fair summary?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Telegram is indistinguishable from an FSB honeypot⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, it was obvious to you. I'm a casual user, who tries to "do his best" and consider himself "somewhat informed" - obviously not by your standard. It was all news to me, and I find tremendous value in this article.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not seeing communities⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That's what I heard, but, again, it's all confusing to me as well :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not seeing communities⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm,
  No idea how accurate that is - know nothing about anything, please take it into consideration - but I think this may be the case: the instance show every post from every federated instances that are subscribed by people in the instance?

  If you're on europe.pub and you subscribe to "!flippanarchy" than all people on europe.pub will gain the ability to see their post in the "all". Until at least one person do it, it's only "potentially" connected.

  Could it be the case here?
