You make a good point. I read it as “people who aren’t in thrall to the machine can take back control”. The vast majority of people have little say in this show.

As @Quazatron says, those that are in thrall don’t look particularly human.

To quote:

The real bubble is not stock valuations but the inflated ego of an industry that thinks it is just one more datacentre away from computational divinity.

Is this referring to anything beside his tweet in Jan?

Do you mean to say e.g. Proton is not private?

I’m aware of five eyes, but how would that make Proton not private? Simply stating “n eyes” and “agreements with America” comes across strongly as unfounded conspiracy. Can you be much more specific?

Hence “vague memory”. I don’t know.

My vague memory is that Signal doesn’t keep that information, so it couldn’t be subpeona’d, indeed they’ve been asked for it before and declined to share.

BUT IT’S MOOT IF YOUR MESSAGES ARE VIEWED by sender or receiver ON ANDROID, WINDOWS OR IOS. Those operating systems can just view everything you type regardless.

curious, thanks for the heads up, time to use my yubikey. I can’t imagine anyone would bother tracking my phone with its niche proprietary OS. 2FA hacking, however …
