I am not defending Telegram in any way by saying this, but how can you be so certain that content supposely encrypted with MTProto when using Cloud Chat is only stored in plaintext on encrypted disks? Where is the proof of this?

No one can’t prove that Telegram use MTProto to encrypt content sent using Cloud Chat, stores them encrypted, and them decrypt them upon opening because the source code for MTProto is closed. So how can you prove that what you’re saying is the way they use?

Don’t get me wrong in any of this discussion. I don’t trust Telegram anymore. I don’t trust any closed sourced softwares anymore! But one can’t say “it is like this, not like that” without any proof.

After doing a quick scan of their FAQ, there’s nothing about who generated the key. So my wild guess is the client. I bet their source code can answer that question, but I have no clue.

False. If you want to tell how things works, get your facts right!

All data sent to Telegram’s servers will be encrypted once they reach the servers. With other words, the messages and media and other files, will be sent in “plain text” over HTTPS only when using Cloud Chat. In Secret Chat, MTProto is (based on how E2EE works) as safe as what Signal Protocol is.

But nothing will be stored in plain text, no matter what you use (Cloud Chat or Secret Chat).

But(!) since the source code for MTProto is closed, we don’t know how it really works, and if we can trust their FAQ or not.

I trusted Telegram at first, but I don’t trust it 100% anymore (still better than SMS). Am using my own Snikket server these days. Much safer with a lot of 😌😊😍😃 moments, even today, maybe a year later. Especially with OMEMO (Signal Protocol).

Truly disgusting and worrying.

I use my own Piped instance and can watch every video that has no age-restriction. Feels awesome and can highly recommend it.

Woopsi. Yes, I meant KISS :) Wrote that on my phone.

KOSS Launcher. Tried Lawnchair from F-Droid for some bostalgia, but I fancy KISS Launcher more.

Disgusting.

I find the quality very good. And there’s no problems with setup a “server” :)

1. Go to the preferred Jitsi Meet server.
2. Enter the meeting name (as it really called) or just press enter to get a random name.
3. Enter your details and options (mainly mic on/off and webcam on/off).
4. Enter the meeting. If you’re the first one in it, you’re the moderator.

Once inside and as a moderator, you can create so called breakout rooms. These works just like subchannels in Discord. If you’re many people in 1 call, you can create these to create a more calmer experience. I have personally not tried these out since I have only talked to 1-2 people.

Mumble is a excellent VoIP software, but like you said, screen sharing is not possible since Mumble is just what VoIP means: voice over IP.

I have the same issue, but got 2 Discord users to try Jitsi Meet with me (a friend of mine on my Snikket server invited her friend). After a while, her friend asked me why it looked so much alike Discord and my friend agreed. I gave them a big smile and said, “because this is awesome”.

Jitsi Meet + Snikket has been my saves since I deleted my Discord account during the pandemic.

I live under a rock most of the time, so welcome to the club. What I know of, the leaks are screenshots from the devices. How a 1-on-1 chat on Signal got leaked other than by screenshots is beyond me, though. If there is a breach in Signal Protocol, there’s a breach in OMEMO, too, since OMEMO uses Signal Protocol.

Alright. Haha, I filter out Big Tech and far-right shit on Mastodon :P It’s probably because of that. And if some far-right person starts to chat/talk to me, I often ignore him/her. Luckily, that haven’t happen… yet.

And to comment your first comment further. JD Vance uses Signal, or at least used. There was a massive Signal leak with him involved few months ago.

I have no clue who or what “glowies” are :P Searched the web and found this: en.wiktionary.org/wiki/glowie. Correct?

Thanks! Will try them out sometime :) Last time I tried download missions (which was maybe 2 months ago), I got 404. Hopefully that issue will be fixed now.

Edit: the error was not 404, but “Cannot connect to server”. I had to execute a command to make it work. Will give one of these missions a shot now.

The Dark Mod ❤️

Let me know how and where I was obnoxious in my previous post :) That way, I can learn from my mistakes.

I downvoted because Signal is not the best solution for privacy. XMPP is.

It is so awful that it’s funny!

I am so happy that I deleted my account on Fecesbook back in 2019. Plus, I am blocking Meta through RethinkDNS. Can’t be more happy!

Standard resolution for me is FHD. Heavy duty games O.o If it is true, that is. Any source? DOOM: The Dark Ages requires 16 GB in GPU on recommended and ILL’s system requirements are TBA.

When I read your comment, I could not stop thinking about those exclusive games that Epic Games have every now and then. I highly dislike that!

Any other VPN than Mullvad VPN is scam /s
