  • Telegram is lying to you about privacy

    Jump

  • I’m not sure they are lying. Yes, they’re not E2E but I don’t think they claim to be by default, do they?

    they claim to be "encrypted". if I just make a new chat it will not be encrypted. this is false advertising. furthermore this highly advertised feature has artificial limitations, like that desktop clients can't use it. it also cannot he used with group chats. so much for being "encrypted".

    and then don't forget that due to drivers, relatively few open source desktop installations are fully open source

  • America's tech-filled classrooms are facing a backlash against school-assigned devices

    Jump

  • I don't like laptops and such in schools, but kids ARE going to need to know how to use them to be successful and that's something a lot of parents can't teach.

    they won't learn from a chromebook how to use computers. They'll only learn how to be a good slave in google's cloud based walled garden. those devices are too locked down to be used for teaching computers.

  • We already consent to giving away all that data, which basic ping triangulation also allows for fairly granular location tracking.

    very few people did consent to that.

    or are you saying that if I unknowingly drink poisoned water, I did consent to that?
