Jesus, can you put an NSFW tag on this one?

That's why it's so fast.

It can easily be fixed by truncating the output if it repeats too often. Until the next exploit is found.

Overfitting.

Which major corporation? Google and Microsoft don't seem to have one.

Using the current server distribution of my contacts, I would never loose more than 13% of my contacts if a single server shuts down. Federated systems are much more resilient against providers shutting down as well as takeovers. Think Reddit vs Lemmy, Twitter vs Mastodon, Signal vs XMPP.

Now everyone is using WhatsApp again and all energy that went towards convincing everyone to use Signal is lost. A better use of that energy would have been be to promote provider independent internet standards.

All your contacts will still be gone when their servers shut down.

This article may be bullshit, but people are still wasting their time on walled gardens like Signal. Organizations like Signal can easily disappear because they run out of money or, arguably worse, sellout because there is no other way to stay afloat. I wouldn't use any messenger not compatible with the XMPP internet standard at this point.

I like it. I was looking for a Reddit client anyways. Now let's give users the ability to block domains like on Mastodon and everyone is happy.

Yes, but he's also Russian which disqualifies this fact as extraordinary.

It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.
