@cwebber I2P just needs more nodes then it will be a lot more usable

@avoca @0xabad1dea In terms of store now decrypt later storage is v cheap, state surveillance agencies already store lots about you public telephone records emails website history, its not a stretch to think there is bandwidth to store all encrypted traffic, or at least a subset of it, google amazon and microsoft probably do the datacentre work

@avoca @0xabad1dea isnt that just security by obscurity though, if its not safe to route your protocols traffic through ISPs then trying to hide the traffic on an air gapped network doesn't make it more secure

@0xabad1dea It makes sense 2 have an arsenal of privacy & anonymity tools, but not 2 always b totally private bc u sacrifice authenticity accountability & discoverability all of which r important for building movements. That being said there r contexts in which a public social network more private than mastodon makes sense, for that I recommend #Simplex over alternatives (matrix, deltachat briarproject cwtch signal) details here https://social.coop/@ambiguous_yelp/114586803022221116 & here https://social.coop/@ambiguous_yelp/114892908675289611

@avoca @0xabad1dea wouldnt any of these apps work in tails, my understanding with socks proxys is they just replace your internet connection so anything can be routed through it. Anyway simplex has quantum resistant encryption which only signal shares. This protects against store now decrypt later attacks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UrdExQW0cs

@avoca @0xabad1dea I disagree that store now decrypt later isnt an imminent issue, experts estimate classical encryption will be broken in next cpl decades given the exponential growth of quantum computers, this is covered in the video I linked above edit: the video doesn't give names to experts but it does resonate with what many experts are saying

@avoca @0xabad1dea physical cubit growth is exponential so far, it doesn't matter if the conversion rate is 1000-1 if you are scaling exponentially https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_quantum_processors

@Geri Doesn't make any sense, unless ofc this is a bargaining tactic between influential states where palestinian lives are the chips. Labour is losing a lot of political capital rn for supporting genocide so if the genocide downgrades back to apartheid no need to do anything then right

@thomasfuchs heat pumps r cool

To anyone who is a vegan in all but name you might like the words #antispeciesist & #sentientist but if ur avoiding the word bc "vegans are rude" then read the image. also the quote "accountability feels like an attack when you're not ready to acknowledge how your behaviour harms others" comes to mind

@feld Famous last words
"
This is an urgent threat to society writ large but also specifically to the military, given the importance of secure communication and secure information for defence and security. To counter this threat, we will have to completely upgrade all our secure digital infrastructure using cryptography that is ‘quantum-resistant’, i.e. secure against both quantum and classical computers.

@feld quantum is a threat right now because of Harvest Now Decrypt Later

@delta @treefit I want to move away from simplex because its owned by fascists, but afaik its the only decentralised messenger to use post quantum encryption, if you can add that and the extreme anonymity simplex affords with unique ids/addresses for every group and dm u join then you will be a serious contender for the most private and anonymous and robust messenger, with the added benefit of not being owned by fascists like simplex (I would hope at least)

@flancian "listen to detransitioners" is a talking point engineered to create the illusion of a "trans debate" as if theres equal grievances on "both sides" but this ignores the fact gender affirming surgeries have lower regret rates than life saving heart surgery

@feld @anemone @SlicerDicer @barrett @sun I read the short story Pig (not the poem of the same name) by Roald Dahl the other day its now my favourite piece of writing by him if you can get by its casual antifat and antisemitic caricature of the greedy lawyer

@feld @anemone @SlicerDicer @barrett @sun No I'm not employing sarcsam, eugenics is bad. Its bad when you do it to humans and its bad when you do it to fish or kangaroos

@sun @anemone @feld @SlicerDicer @barrett Interesting how everyone who says this says nothing about managing the human population the most destructive one. Because that would be eugenics and thats bad, but fish? Their lives are expendable for "the good of the environment"

@feld @anemone @SlicerDicer @barrett @sun overfishing is a gross concept, imagine if there was a term "over cannibalising" as if there were an acceptable rate of slaughtering humans

@SlicerDicer @anemone @feld @barrett @sun It is something that the individual has direct control over though, people see fish as expendable because they see them as resources, veganism aims to change this speciesist perception

@SlicerDicer @anemone @feld @barrett @sun It sounds like you're just hear to spread nihilism and to tell me to stop my advocacy, which is not helpful, if you want to save fish stop eating them.
