@hyc @Jon_Kramer @kgMadee2 @tofugolem I believe the amount of energy we're able to capture is actually increasing as a side effect of climate change as we are losing clouds. To my understanding this is a side effect of the air heating faster than the ocean

Device linking should not be a "convenience" feature. This is where Signal has failed its security minded audience. Think about it: if you can't put your phone on the same network as your desktop, you probably shouldn't be linking it.
Like imagine someone putting Signal desktop on a work computer that is locked down and can only use the corporate network. Can't do it because your cell isn't authorized on the WiFi? Well sorry tough luck you probably shouldn't be doing it anyway

I'm kinda surprised there aren't more archery murders considering it's basically a great silenced weapon that would be difficult to track and you can use arrowheads that 100% guarantee a quick death if you hit the chest -

@tofugolem @hyc That was a lie though which only emboldens his supporters as they will point this out. Please don't share this.
I deliberately remember it was only covering a years worth of food. It didn't "solve" world hunger. There was no permanent solution.
from WEF directly:
> This would feed 42 million people for one year, and avert the risk of famine.

@sleepfreeparent Signal came out of Moxie's Open Whisper Systems which received its funding from the Open Technology Fund. OTF came from Radio Free Asia, very well known CIA front.
This is not in dispute by anyone and has been covered by multiple journalists over the years, only that we are supposed to trust that RFA was severed from the CIA when they launched the OTF. It just doesn't get any traction with the infosec community because they worship Signal.
This article has one of the most succinct explanations

If Signal is this crucial to operations in Ukraine I'm starting to suspect more and more that it has deeper ties with the CIA as well. This is documented, but everyone dismisses it as :tinfoil: -

Commentary alleges that Russia was taking phones off dead soldiers to get access to their Signal as well which probably gives them access to the list of contacts to attack with malicious QR codes -

When you scan the QR code it makes a direct network connection between devices using Iroh and then transfers a copy of the private key. Rotating the key isn't possible in Delta and you can't revoke devices access or see how many do have access. Perhaps this could be done in the future, but there isn't a smart centralized server. Perhaps @delta has ideas.
I previously suggested that the QR code linking be allowed to work across networks as Iroh is used for the p2p networking for the WebXDC apps -- so it totally could work, but now I understand their wisdom and foresight to be conservative here... -

Also from what I'm reading the Signal server is expected to tell you that a new device was linked.
Delta's informs you from your own device when you do it. No server required. -

> [...] threat actors have resorted to crafting malicious QR codes that, when scanned, will link a victim's account to an actor-controlled Signal instance. If successful, future messages will be delivered synchronously to both the victim and the threat actor in real-time, [...]
Haha wow so if I understand this correctly the multi device setup method for Signal is significantly worse than Delta Chat's which requires the device you're linking be on the same local network -
