@sun@vriska You didn't watch The Pentaverate did you? I swear he's still got it. This was such a fun little show. It's an extension of his Dad's conspiracy theory in the Axe Murderer movie. Remember his Scottish dad constantly raving about crap in the National Enquirer or whatever? The "Pentaverate" of 5 people that really control the world? He made a show about that entire joke
@Tony@arcana@sun I used to be the best bullshitter at the hardware store. I'd read the product labels out of the corner of my eye and tell customers about the product like I knew everything about it. The old people thought it was amazing. I let them in on the gag, but they didn't mind.
@Polychrome Understood, but locking the E2EE conversation to a single device reduces risk. Systems that handle key distribution securely are very complex and this introduces significant risk unless you have a TON of manpower to audit it.
see: iMessage (probably good), Matrix (needs more research IMO)
Just be aware of what I linked: Signal Desktop exposes your private key in plaintext and attachments do not get encryption at rest. People assume that Signal Desktop is equally secure as on mobile devices and that's not true at all.
@hj I finally figured out what makes my notifications panel jump. The timestamp. If they have a long name the e.g., "9 min" or whatever can cause reflow when it changes to "10 min"
@sun@grumpybozo yep, just found these details too. All they did was take advantage of a flaw to do the equivalent of stealing profits from high frequency traders or the parties that fight over credit card transaction fees
Nobody's wallets were drained. Nothing was technically "stolen". People who take advantage of the system were taken advantage of.
@grumpybozo There's really not any information here that tells us anything useful.
> “These brothers allegedly committed a first-of-its-kind manipulation of the Ethereum blockchain by fraudulently gaining access to pending transactions, altering the movement of the electronic currency, and ultimately stealing $25 million in cryptocurrency from their victims,”
Gaining access to pending transactions: how? They were able to hack the mempool? What?
Altering the movement of the currency: they... were able to change the destination address of pending transactions without needing the private key of the sender?
There's not enough information here; it seems intentionally deceitful in the way they present this story
@Polychrome I don't disagree that the Secret Chats requiring you intentionally open a special chat type to use it is less than ideal.
Why shouldn't it be locked to a single device for the conversation? (not mobile only! It exists in MacOS telegram, just not Linux) The more copies of your private key out there the higher the risk. Signal Desktop gets the same key as your phone so if your desktop gets compromised (more likely than your phone IMO) you're in serious trouble. Plus it doesn't encrypt your attachments on Signal Desktop so I really urge people to not use that...
ok, "Kellanova" is for snack products and "WK Kellogg Co" is for the rest. They are now separate and trade under different stock symbols.
The only way I can reason about this is that they know the economy is gonna hurt them bad so they separated the good performing side of the business (snacks) from the rest.
