About not_me_ever

On May 25th, 2024 I made the mistake of highlighting some of the security flaws of the Signal app&protocol. On May 26th, 2024 Some massive doxing campaign was initiated. And two (false!) accusations have been made against me at the local police station. Luckily they are used to this by now, and talked to me first.

Guess it's time to burn this account. May 28th, 2024 I am giving up. The harassment has gotten out of hand. Keep your eyes closed to the truth, and keep drinking the cool-aid. I tried. Will move on with my very happy life now.

    "We don't know if telegram is secure or not." The point was: This is a discussion about Signal, not Telegram. But by now we have gotten pretty used to deflecting every discussion a…

    And none of that code can be converted to something that is even close to the published app. They might as well just release the source code for the firmware of a fridge.

    We don't know if telegram is secure or not. We do know that signal is lying: - About it's code being open source - About it's protocol being open - About it's funding - About it's …

    Source: Read and understood the original whitepaper. Plus verified it in the (probably fake) source code. You can do it too. Might take a decade or two depending on your mathematic…

    The random number generator in signal is fully predictable. There is no need for a back door -- when the front door has no lock. :sigh:

    Google has been ruining the internet since 1998. So no news here.

    Funny how "journalists" who spend their day in a text editor, or at least should, keep saying that 8GB is not enough, while award winning AAA game developers are fully ok with 8GB.…

    ML is quite ok at answering questions, but it is very bad at asking the right questions. Engineering is about asking questions. Looks like we are at least 50 years out from "AI" re…

    It's genius. And finally my $1/month 50.000 free worldwide texts burner phone is earning some $$$. Well $$$$$ to be exact.

    My GF earns more money selling her hand made weaves than the average senior SWE at google. When did they come for the weavers?

    Nope. It's nice at implementing simple stuff at a first semester CS student, after somebody over specified it, but that's it. Code monkeys might want to start looking for a new job…

    120 if no major break throughs happen. 150-180 otherwise. Ignoring fatal accidents. The average life span of males in my family is 98. Heavily brought down by two accidents (38 & 1…

    I am saying 90K+ for seniors is what I have seen, and 60K+ for juniors. "Normal" is a bit hard to define, and there will always be wide deviations, but the averages, and ranges in …

    Amazing work, but those salary numbers feel off. Background: I've been a IT hiring manager for 20+ years now, with about 600 hires (and salary negotiations) in total. About 70% gam…

    The moment you attacked me personally instead of arguing your case I lost interest in talking with you. Have fun with your holy war, while the adults get work done.

    With beeper actively attacking security critical infrastructure it's just a question of time until someone pulls out the patriot act and jails them as terrorists.
