@DjSall fuck telegram imo but Signal all the way! @mrtnrdl yup I use it with my whole fam. 😊 @iihirotoii I just said fuck it and quit WhatsApp and installed Signal. Not sure if it'd work for you though 😅
-
@linuxxx why fuck telegram?
-
@linuxxx I tried and failed 😫. No one uses telegram here, and people don't know about signal either.
-
@BindView @DjSall Fuck telegram imo because for one, they save way more metadata than required, have had numerous metadata leaks exposed and according to a crypto researcher (just one of the many examples) their crypto is like being stabbed in the eye with a fork!
I'll take two Signals, please :P -
@blancobloc Tbh even though I consider it a better alternative than WhatsApp, it's still closed and the golden crypto rule is: don't trust closed source crypto!
-
@linuxxx true, but I like the concept of meeting someone in Person and scanning their key, so the key does not have to be transfered electronically
-
@blancobloc Fair enough! Whatsapp/telegram/Signal have that option as well though :).
-
@linuxxx thx, did not know. Signal it is then :)
-
@blancobloc Let me confirm that by the way 😓
-
@blancobloc I've never used it but it seems to be a feature yes, can't confirm it though but I know the option has been there at least and it would be stupid to cut out really :)
-
@linuxxx isn't the scanning function on Whatsapp used to verify that you're talking to the right person, i.e. the whatsapp contact is who he says he is?
-
@Rocket3G As far as I know it also does public key verification
-
@cyberwalk3r yeah but in my case I can text most of them SMS but there are 3 groups I can't leave...

Hope everything goes well for you @linuxxx tell them to just give you all their money right up front, let them know how much they need your mastered skills.

@PonySlaystation I like the app but since its not open source it's a no go for me (not due to the principle but we've seen it go very wrong with closed source crypto before so yah) :) (and no not trying to convert anyone)
-
@nblackburn what do you mean? 😅
-
@linuxxx I was messing with you 😝

Did you say security?
Got a call from a recruiter today. (Keep in mind that using WhatsApp is about a requirement over here.)
R: so can I app you (I hate that word to the fucking point) with further details?
Me: *oh fuck this is gonna get me fucked again* uhm I don't use it so yah...
R: ohhh okay, security reasons?
Me: *slight relief* yes indeed, sir
R: oh fair enough, you can always just text and call me!
*very relieved feeling*
It's for either a cyber security or linux job by the way.
