I don't know anything about cryptography, but this article says that Telegram is not as secure as people are lead to believe:

"Many systems use encryption in some way or another. However, when we talk about encryption in the context of modern private messaging services, the word typically has a very specific meaning: it refers to the use of default end-to-end encryption to protect users’ message content. When used in an industry-standard way, this feature ensures that every message will be encrypted using encryption keys that are only known to the communicating parties, and not to the service provider.

From your perspective as a user, an “encrypted messenger” ensures that each time you start a conversation, your messages will only be readable by the folks you intend to speak with. If the operator of a messaging service tries to view the content of your messages, all they’ll see is useless encrypted junk. That same guarantee holds for anyone who might hack into the provider’s servers, and also, for better or for worse, to law enforcement agencies that serve providers with a subpoena.

Telegram clearly fails to meet this stronger definition for a simple reason: it does not end-to-end encrypt conversations by default. If you want to use end-to-end encryption in Telegram, you must manually activate an optional end-to-end encryption feature called “Secret Chats” for every single private conversation you want to have. The feature is explicitly not turned on for the vast majority of conversations, and is only available for one-on-one conversations, and never for group chats with more than two people in them."

You call it an echo chamber. I call it subject matter expertise.

Wow. This is really, really cool!

GM. Waiting for the sun to break through, but I’ll take it. #lagunabeach

I go to the same Starbucks most Fridays to meet with my business partner.

There’s an older Millennial/younger Gen X (my guess is that she’s a younger Gen-X) barista that works here. Her coworkers are mostly Gen-Z. There is a world of difference between how she treats customers and how coworkers treat customers. She’s personable, helpful (she wiped down the counter for me; I didn’t even ask), cheery, and engaging. Her coworkers are nice and pleasant but there’s a big gap between her and her coworkers.

GM!

Good morning!

Just did the same with all social media . Algorithm-free life!

GM. Fueling up. Long day ahead! #coffeechain

I deleted all social media apps off my phone. The algorithms for those apps are too good and sucked a lot of time from me. Primal is the only thing I have that’s close to being social media but no algorithm.

I hear it’s rat-free in Alberta. My kind of place.

I’ve got two!

I wonder how this will end?

The Decisive Moment: “There is nothing in this world that does not have a decisive moment.”

—Henri Cartier-Bresson, legendary street photographer.

Photographically, and on so many different levels, this was a decisive moment.

This is part of the IRS’s definition of “digital asset”:

“Digital assets are not real currency (also known as fiat) because they aren't:

- The coin and paper money of the United States or another country

- Digitally issued by a government's central bank.”

They want you to believe that “Fiat,” which literally means “by decree” is real.

Bitkey is a great option.
