  • Signal Founder Moxie Marlinspike: Telegram is not private. There is nothing private about it. They've done a really amazing job of convincing the world that this is an encrypted messaging app

  • I don't understand his point about restoring your messages to a new phone. How does that prove it isn't encrypted? Couldn't Telegram store the encrypted data on their server, send the encrypted data back to you and then you automatically decrypt it because you have the key?

  • I had it cite a case which didn't exist. It was perfect for what I was fighting (it tends to figure out what you want to hear then makes up stuff to satisfy you).

    When I tried to search for a phrase from the case (hoping it just gave the wrong citation) it said there was no such case with that phrase.

    I asked why it said there was such a case earlier. It confessed that AI sometimes hallucinates and promised to try better in future.

  • [edit: sorry I ended up on a tangent]

    Lawyers are no guarantee. They are sloppy because they have no skin in the game, and they usually get paid regardless (although some have "uplift" fees which reward them for winning).

    It is like hiring builders for your renovation. You still have to keep an eye on them and even tell them how to do their job, which of course is always a tense situation. If you develop a good relationship you can work as a team (requires a lawyer who is not insecure).

    Best avoid situations which need a lawyer. Do not litigate lightly. There is no such thing as a watertight case. If you get a corrupt judge they can outright lie, there is no point appealing, and you can be gagged from telling anyone (even your wife, let alone a politician or journalist).

  • Am happy to discuss at this level.

    The Haaretz article says "Friday's attempt to breach fence was most violent yet".

    That implies the attempted breach was the most violent yet on the part of the Palestinians. Or it is poor English and they meant the response was the most violent yet?

    Either way, an attempt to breach the fence is not exactly peaceful. October 7 was a breach.

    I acknowledge that certainly is a disturbing number of injuries. Did they all happen in the space of a few minutes before people could retreat? Or were they refusing to retreat and pressing on?

    they had tried the peaceful option

    Hamas and PIJ were viloently trying to thwart the Oslo peace process.

    And I thought the very reason Likud became more right wing was because the suicide and missiles attacks were happening even after the 2005 Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, perhaps even emboldened by the withdrawal.

    Gaza remained under siege

    Because of the attacks and the need to prevent rearmament.

    It is delusional to think Jews will withdraw from the Levant regardless of whether we think they should be there in the first place. Egging Hamas on is therefore irresponsible IMO.

    Regardless, the expansion into the West Bank has me concerned. I have no opinion on how to curb that at this point apart from the hope of a turnaround in the October Israeli election.

  • Oct 6th situation was tenable as a starting point.

    There needed to be international pressure on expanding settlements. Obama failed.

    Hamas needed to stop its suicide and missile attacks. Oct 7 attack in particular was irresponsible.

    The Jews are not leaving the Levant and neither are the Arabs. That is the starting point, whether one has grievances re the establishment of Israel or not.

    Like we cannot expect "white" Australia to go pack up and leave. The indigenous community is not demanding that and they are not launching violent attacks.

  • Thank you for finally getting this discussion onto a good faith, intellectual footing.

    Dunno enough about Nazi Germany to comment on those points.

    The "open air prison" of Gaza was due to border controls stopping weapons shipments as Hamas and PIJ kept attacking Israel.

    If the attacks stopped then I imagine the borders would have been relaxed to previous levels.

    Paradoxically the tedious border checks led to Gazans merchants funding tunnels merely for civilian supplies. Israel would have done well to have funded those checks better to speed them up and remove this incentive.

    Israel didn't expect so extensive a tunnel network. Hamas expected other Arab countries to rally to their war like in 1967. Both sides miscalculated resulting in this tragic spiral (although I suspect the Israel right wing hoped it would spiral).

    Israel also would have done well to have not even counterattacked in the name of retribution. They could have instead investigated how the leadership failed in their border security and jumped straight to a hostage/prisoner exchange.

    To this day however Hamas are breaching the peace by not surrendering arms and continuing attacks. A large IDF retaliation is unfortunately coming soon.

  • I am not weighing into Holdomor. But you are equating the Gaza tragedy to the targeting and rounding up of Jews in Europe for their ethnicity and exterminating them en-masse, not in combat. ⅔ of the population.

    Yes there are evil cunts in the current Jewish government who make explicit statements (Ben-Gvir and Smotrich especially).

    But you do not want to acknowledge that the banned phrases in Queensland were explicit genocidal calls by PLO and Hamas... not just by individuals as in Israel's case. Of course Israel needs to remain a Jewish majority in the light of that.

    You seem to change your definitions when it suits you.

    I don't know if a system similar to Germany was proposed but there is a security problem with having all our data collated on a government server.
