    I’m in my forties. The post we are talking about was made in February 2026. Priyanka Lakhara definitely looks younger than me, didn’t even make her Twitter account until January 2024.

    What does age or how it worked in the past have to do with a post made… four days ago by someone who is either late twenties to mid-thirties at most?

    Also, in those old timey wimey years I was just pirating Adobe Acrobat.



  • That’s easy enough for people who actually have things set up in a reasonable way. My mother has an iPhone but all her services are Google and she often can’t even get into her fucking phone because she can’t find it. So when she can’t find her phone and can’t remember her Apple password so we can’t log into iCloud to do Find Your Phone, and she can’t remember her Google password so we can get into her email so we can reset the Apple password it’s kind of a clusterfuck.





  • I mean, so do US companies, but it’s moreso that kind of misdirection about E2EE that Telegram uses. Unlike something like Matrix/Element which goes out of it’s way to explain E2EE, make sure it’s default on in every conversation, including group conversations, Telegram isn’t clear that it’s E2EE is opt-in and isn’t available in groups. Also, their encryption is home-rolled and to my knowledge has never been audited. Plus the generally skeevy credentials of the owner/creator make it untrustworthy.

    Also, it seems to be a haven for scammers, which also puts it in the “don’t suggest this to people” basket.
