I’ll start by saying that i don’t use signal.

if this is true

There are some concerns that other people in the comments explained. It’s up to you to decide if the trade off is good enough for you. There’s no silver bullet for this.

-what menssaging app should i use for secure communications? i need an app that balances simplicity and security.

Signal is ok. Same as matrix, delta chat, xmpp, simplex. Avoid telegram, messenger, whatsapp, instagram, snapshat, max…

-how to explain it to my friends who use signal because i recomended?

Most people mess up the concepts of anonymity with privacy.

-what this means for other apps in general?

There’s no silver bullet. All the apps have ups and downs. Most people don’t realize that if a state actor (I’m not talking about police but for example NSA, CIA, mossad, mi6) is after you, they will get you. Usually from a side channel, or from some stupid mistake you made years ago.

So, you’ve fallen into a trap of your own making.

hum?

First, you didn’t wait for OP to respond.

Yes, because i can predict the future! And the OP will answer all the questions that aren’t asked.

Second, you’re sitting here arguing for consumption vs repair and reuse.

I’m not arguing anything. I made a question because unfortunately most of the times repair and reuse is not economically viable. And if it’s not worth it, most people won’t go down that route. Secondly the stupid question was not from the post OP. Just someone trying to beat me in his purity test.

I don’t know… Maybe the one who spent money changing soles, lining, heel-counters, shanks, hardware, laces and paid for a cleaning and reconditioning job?

No, wait! Off course it’s cheaper for you! Wouldn’t be cheaper for you to buy new boots instead of writing stupid comments?

but in fact it’s a pair of beat-up old hiking boots with new soles, lining, heel-counters, shanks, hardware, laces and one hell of a cleaning and reconditioning job.

Wouldn’t be cheaper to buy new boots?

Always report to the authorities (police or whatever), even if they don’t do anything. If the complains keep pilling up, it will fuck their stats and eventually someone will be forced to do something.

After reporting, do whatever you want ;-)

I fully support this. This is a very easy to implement. 99% of the documents don’t require specific msoffice undocumented features that odf format doesn’t support

I think you are wrong.

Israel doesn’t want a unified Iran

I think it’s better for israel to put someone with whom they can cooperate than to let it go to a civil war.

because Iran is mostly unified under their hatred for Israel due to its various crimes.

IMHO, this isn’t true. Israel was able to pinpoint the location of top political figures extremely easy. That means that the civil society hates more the government than israel. If they hated israel more then, they wouldn’t be able to pull the moves they did (like killing a hamas top operative in a safe house)

Anyway, this is just a guessing exercise. Nobody knows the future. Let’s hope for the best for the iranian people.

Israel knows there will never be a friendly government to them in Iran, Israel knows that hatred for Israel is broad and will survive a regime change, especially one triggered by a war of aggression from Israel.

I dunno. Lots of iranians don’t like their government.

They look very nice :-)

I wish i had something like that. The ones i have that are separated from traffic, are mixed with pedestrians…But the worst is that they are mostly leisure ones. So if you want to commute you have to go in the road with traffic.

The only answers i can give you without conspiracy theories:

But why now? Why at all?

The top of the Iran administration (khamenei and top military generals) decided the meet in person. Israel found out and bombed the shit out of the building. That’s why khamenei and top military generals all died in the beginning of the war.

The negotiations were progressing in a good rhythm and it caught the US (Israel informed US right before the bombing, but there was nothing US could do) and Iran of guard.

Is Israel gaining something that I’m not seeing?

Iran is the only close country that still keeps an aggressive stand against Israel (mainly by using hezbollah as a proxy). By doing this Israel wants a more friendly government.
