Wow. I was just joking, I didn’t expect that to be a real thing.

I don’t like prediction markets, but I guess one good thing would be that it motivates investment into weather prediction models. Something we will need to improve even further, because of climate change.

What’s LDR?

10 quid says it’s gonna rain!

I find it weird how many people actually blame GDPR for cookie banners. I mean, yes. I think they should have probably written the law a little bit better to avoid this situation. But malicious compliance is a thing in many laws.

I also hate how many websites are trying to blackmail me now with “pay or we use your data”

Same. It’s enough for me (I don’t really have that much data) and just use rclone to back it up.

I’m aware, yes. That was my point

Yeah, I couldn’t find anything either

Oh good, so AI proponents can finally shut up about it.

We’re never going back to the time when brands weren’t trying to be one of us, are we

Ah yes, fediverse would love that /s

They could have had them printed

I wish someone warned me when I signed up, now it’s too late for me

Yes, it’s possible. You don’t even need to buy a domain.

Okay, one last time. Those are two different issues.

The whole point of this thread was that it was possible to intercept the messages. That’s all. I doubt the OP needs to worry about that. But it’s possible as was stated by the other poster.

It’s like claiming that mail can’t be intercepted. Of course it can, but generally speaking you don’t have to worry about that. Though it would be foolish to claim otherwise (especially when one quick web search can show you cases when someone successfully pulled it off)

Good day.

Edit: typos

Sheesh indeed, boomer.

That was an example, the point is it is possible to intercept it. It’s been done in the wild - again that’s why there’s such need for other methods of 2FA.

Re: Apple or Google That’s even easier for them, because, you know, they’ve got access to the phone. Heck, famously Apple had a bug/feature where it stored text of notifications which affected Signal, too. In that case it was law enforcement who took advantage of that, though.

I wouldn’t go around sounding the alarm about SMS, because I don’t think many people send stuff that shouldn’t be plaintext via SMS. I like using SMS, actually, because how simple it is and you don’t need 4G for that.

But the fact is messages can be read one way or another. If you want to conspire, definitely use something else.

Look, just because I can’t prove it it doesn’t mean it’s not true! The truth is somewhere!

Oops, my bad. Trying a new mobile client and I guess it doesn’t show when it’s crossposted? (Or it’s not in an obvious place)

Not even a crosspost? :O Funhole abandoned :c
