It’s a thread about comparing Signal to Telegram of all things

The relevance is that it’s not some unaligned security professional talking in the article, it’s literally the guy that runs Signal having a pop at his competition.

See this is why I’m reluctant to start listing them because I don’t want to get dragged into an interminable discussion about how hacks like https://thehackernews.com/2025/02/hackers-exploit-signals-linked-devices.html?m=1 somehow “don’t count” because it was the user’s fault, or https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/4850133017242-Twilio-Incident-What-Signal-Users-Need-to-Know doesn’t count because it didn’t include chat messages.

The irony is I very carefully chose my words when I said “Signal-related hack” instead of “Signal hack” because I knew fanbois would show up to argue that anything short of a central database leak isn’t really a hack.

Either they’re all ironic [] or none of them are ironic

Textbook false dichotomy, and not how I read it at all. Setup->Punchline is the most basic joke format in existence. The whole point of a setup is you have to be on board with it before getting sideswiped by the punchline.

I predict yet another Signal-related hack within the month.

They keep saying “stolen” when their model hasn’t even been directly copied, just used to train another.

The other pathetic thing they’re doing is pushing the narrative that it’s being done for weapons and spying and shit, as though that’s exclusive to deepseek. Sadly at least a few of the useful idiots on my LinkedIn seem to be swallowing and regurgitating it.

…and, without any sense of introspection whatsoever, doubling down instead.

“Is it possible I’ve completely missed the point? No, it must be everybody else here who’s wrong!”

Spin

Yup. Price comparison extensions have been around for decades already.

Somehow it’s still set in the present day, present time.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

me too, it’s a slightly awkwardly constructed sentence.

yes but actually no. There’s a hidden pull cord under the bottom mat of the “map pocket” that you have to remove, along with whatever else you were storing in there at the time. That’s assuming the cord hasn’t fallen out of reach inside the door or otherwise become inaccessible during an accident, of course.

The owner’s manual section on “how to open the door if there’s no power” spans 4 pages (viewed on mobile) and has 3 diagrams to illustrate the steps.

(incidentally, opening the frunk with no power is a separate page with ten steps and begins, “To open the powered frunk when Cybertruck has no power, you need a power source that provides between 9V and 16.5V”… it’s like they’re trying to be shit.)

Newish account to promote loops

Probably, but it seems to be an open-source fediverse community project with no VC backing, so I don’t begrudge them it. Like, how else do you get fediverse projects seen if not in a fediverse discussion community, you want them to just buy Google ads instead?

Zionists these days have become a parody of themselves.

A significant part of Jesus’ teachings is “don’t claim to speak on behalf of God”. Whoever made this meme is a blasphemer.

Presumably at their request, or at least their approval, since it doesn’t seem to be a thing in any other country. Most products in the US are imported, don’t pass the buck. “Iran forced it on us” goes against absolutely everything else we know about US consumers.

It’s extremely unhealthy for a free society, to have too much power imbalance between the ruling classes and the people.

I also thought this was a joke until I read the comments. Pistachios have always been pistachio coloured in the rest of the world.

There’s something very American about drowning a perfectly healthy natural product in brightly coloured dye.

That’s like, your opinion, man. It’s not a universally agreed-on rule.

New York Times Manual of Style and Usage (1999):

decades should usually be given in numerals: the 1990’s; the mid-1970’s; the 90’s. But when a decade begins a sentence it must be spelled out.

The Chicago Manual of Style (2003):

9.37 Decades. Decades are either spelled out (as long as the century is clear) and lowercased or expressed in numerals. No apostrophe appears between the year and the s.

Same goes for initialisms, e.g. CDs vs CD’s.

EDIT: to be clear, I prefer no apostrophe too, I just didn’t like the unnecessary condescension. One thing worse than a grammar nazi is a wrong grammar nazi.

It’s a UX issue. If you make votes public they should be very clearly so, the way reactions are on Facebook, LinkedIn etc, and everyone would be fine with it. What’s getting people’s panties in a twist is that Lemmy superficially presents itself as having anonymous voting but the logs are tucked away behind some convoluted process that you have to just know about and only seems to work about half the time.
