Whenever people start talking about “opsec” and it’s not people doing sensitive work I’m just like “what ops?”
I use encryption whenever I can not so They can’t see my ops, but so that the encrypted comms of people who actually do need opsec are less suspicious.
Indeed, it makes everyone safer. Especially with all the fascism going around people who are completely innocent of any more genuine wrongdoing could still be kidnapped by Ice based on the color of their skin or because they exercise their free speech rights in ways that in decades past would have been respected. The government has gotten less trustworthy and corporations never really were trustworthy so everyday people have the right to protect themselves
The guy kinda sounds like a douche…
No, Gam Gam must adapt.
Dudes probably an SF technofascist.
…
I mean, it has to be satire, they even said “iMessage” instead of text, meaning the guy super obsessed with privacy still uses an iPhone…
And still clearly uses it. Because that’s what the screenshot is from.
Are people taking that as an authentic conversation?
I overestimate people a lot, but I’m genuinely confused if I’m overestimating they hypothetical screenshot and people are dumb enough to be like that, or if I’m overestimating people who see it and can’t tell it’s an obvious joke…
It’s the eternal quesion
Are people taking that as an authentic conversation?
no, but opsec people will genuinely act like this sometimes
The family wouldn’t be installing Signal, a secure messaging app. They would be installing “that app I only use to talk to that one idiot”.
Granny did the risk assessment and decided that ease of use and low-maintenance is more important than security when it comes to everyday family matters.
Not everyone ends in jail when they fuck up their opsec. Granny doesn’t run an online cocaine business.

… or does she ?
Ease of use and low maintenance just means inertia. I remember back when people wrote Tech articles saying that Windows XP was intuitive as an argument against Linux but it turns out that intuitive only ever meant it works exactly like Windows xp. Then people got smartphones and using a second type of computer interface turned out to be no big deal. And now Linux market share is growing rapidly, something we were told was never going to happen because of all sorts of reasons that apparently don’t apply.
Almost all of Linux’s growth on the desktop is caused by Microsoft enshittifying Windows. There wouldn’t be measurable growth without that because it doesn’t matter how good it is without an incentive to leave Windows.
I play on Gentoo, btw.
bro don’t use discord, use Plerg! it’s compatible with both Pleeb AND Schmoob!
also remember how we all left reddit because of the bots, when Lemmy doesn’t have bots either…
People didn’t leave reddit because of the bots, lemmy was created in opposition to reddit’s openly nazi ownership and leadership; as well as a way to ensure no single reddit-style platform can be dominated by a few superusers that impose far-right moderation policies and tactics in order to limit discussion and artificially reduce left-wing political discussion.
The fact Epstein’s owner, Ghislaine Maxwell was a power-mod for multiple default subs tells you exactly who owns and runs reddit and that mods there aren’t exactly neutral unpaid members of the community.

This is an obvious joke yall
Everyone says that until mythos 0days gam gam’s pacemaker
/s in case that wasn’t obvious
Just stick to XMPP for encrypted coms. It’s the original WhatsApp ( same Protocol before it was centralised and owned by world gov.)
ou can run your own server too.
You may even transfer and generate phone numbers paid with Monero on some clients.
