"In 2019, France’s best known climate expert sat down to work with its most feted graphic novelist. The result? Perhaps the most terrifying comic ever drawn. Part history, part ana…

The answered: > Thank you for your message. Please read this article to learn more about objecting to the processing of your personal information: https://faq.whatsapp.com/12851155…

> That doesn't mean they're in plain text. MTProto 2.0 is an audited and robust algorithm. Nope, but it means that they are not E2EE. Meaning that the Telegram server (and whoever …

> You'd be right, if you had any proof of WhatsApp being E2EE in the traditional sense. Fair point. Though last time I checked Telegram, nothing except the secret chats was end-to-…

The risk being that the experience will be miserable. I can totally imagine a world where you can talk between Signal and WhatsApp, but reactions don't work, sending files doesn't …

If you read my link above, WhatsApp literally told me that I could object to some data collection as per the EU regulations . WhatsApp showed me a popup telling me that!

I think you totally missed the point. Let me rephrase it: as per the EU legislation , I got a popup in WhatsApp that was saying that I have a right to object to their data collecti…

The whole point of my question is that I want to see how far I can leverage the GDPR with WhatsApp. I do use other apps, but that is not the question :-)

I understand the idea (though I find Telegram worse than WhatsApp in that it's not even properly end-to-end encrypted). But the idea here is really to see how far I can go about as…

If they do, yes. But somehow I doubt it...

Man you have no clue how many people I moved to Signal. I actually contributed to Signal years ago. So respectfully, f** you (if you're going on that tone). There are just some peo…

Sure, I just can't talk to my friends and family there :-).

Good point, I asked them that.

Well Signal Messenger is nice. I am using WhatsApp because of network effect: some people are on WhatsApp and not on something else (Signal is the most popular alternative where I …

Following some EU requirements (GDPR), WhatsApp updated their TOS. They say that we can now "object to [their] use of [our] information": https://faq.whatsapp.com/781249240131848/.…

> Joking of course but we are not that far away from that. I couldn't disagree more :). I think we are reaching the peak of fossil fuels, and we don't have relevant alternative ene…

I've had smartphones, too ;-). I sometimes clean the dust off the connector, it helps. And then it is a problem that the connectors tend to break. But is the solution really to des…

Right. I get that it is marginally more convenient (though I could imagine a stand on which you could plug your phone with one hand). Not sure if it's worth the wasted energy thoug…

> But with wireless the human can drop the phone with the same level of "I'm done" as he can drop the keys. Making sure that it's aligned correctly, and that the cable hasn't gone …

I get that manufacturers are happy to sell more crap, and consumers are happy to buy new shiny crap. And wireless chargers are more expensive than wires, so that's an incentive for…

You mean the business people working for Slack/Discord, right? I don't get why a company would rely on Slack/Discord, given that those have access to their internal communications.…

> It also benefits from p20 functionality. What's that? p20?

Because your Slack preview is not loading random URLs, I suppose?

What key problems do you mean? Does e.g. IRCv3 solve them?
