The Signal client is open source (some say it isn't BC the Play version has an prompt for updates or Smith, but whatever, there are a half dozen clients) so an audit would reveal this pretty quickly.

You can also just look at Signal's reputation and see that they fight against what most would consider common sense exploitation prevention in the name of privacy. We actually can just trust that companies which act in good faith will continue to do so

I'm very skeptical of your framing on some of this. I'm pretty sure their funding is common knowledge, and even if they don't publicly reference all of their funding, that's not abnormal really. The CIA has good reasons to promote genuinely secure encryption, China and Russia hack our shit constantly, and better to have it hidden from everyone then let out enemies posses it.Signal is tied to a phone number and everything about the UX practicallly screams "this is not meant to be a desktop app." I feel the worst you could say is that they should be more clear that data sent to your computer from your phone isn't private, but at the end of the day, encryption is only as the device you're using anyway. It doesn't change that much.The server source code isn't super important for something like Signal as long as you can confirm the clients are doing what they're supposed to. Ik FOSS nerds want to have it as a standard but the reality of the situation is, it's a completely arbitrary place to draw the line. For all you know, the SimpleX servers are also running modified server software that stores everything and collects your keys every time they rotate, etc. You can't tell unless you personally inspect their instance.You can host your own, but then no one will use it, so you might as well use pen and paper.You don't really want an encrypted messenger to federate because each chat is only as secure as the dumbest end user, so you want to key management to be as automated and retard friendly as possible. Your only good options are a centralized service or a block chain, and so far the blockchains seem to slow.This is a much fuzzier issue than FOSS purists are typically willing to consider before you even touch security arguments.

BC each server can handle key management differently and you'd have to micromanage who you federated with or just accept atrocious security, like Matrix does

>It's not being sent to the server.Is this not how Matrix allows multiple devices to decrypt the same chat?Ofc you don't have to do it the Matrix way, but ideally, easily exposing your encrypted messages to a half dozen different devices shouldn't even be easily possible, and it only takes one idiot to expose the whole thing.Not to mention, a separate issue, if you're hosting a server, it's VERY easy to impersonate a user. That's an inconvenience in public, but if you're operating with the expectation of privacy, it can be life ruining, depending on the context.You want only professionals operating e2ee service.

Do you know any good email providers that actually work with this app? I tried Tuta, Proton, and Yandex.

We're under a very different administration from before. Things have been 80% great so far. Wait it out.

Gab had their own model that I was using to translate stuff before there were other non-libtarded alternatives but I'm glad Grok is around now BC it actually works. Gab's never surpassed GPT 3 and it would start inserting its own stuff in the middle of translation and I'd have to spot check constantly.

Grok 3's thinking doesn't seem to do much as far as I can tell. You still get the same dumb answers and a lot of them are still dumb. You look at the "thought" you just get dumb thoughts.

Karl Marx's theory of class isn't crazy. We had caste systems, officially and unofficially.His mistake was assuming that was arbitrary. Most people are actually on a predetermined path for a reason, they can't do anything else well.That's wht modern successors to Communism are elitist. That's the only place it survived.

They actually aren't. Abstractions are handled by a completely separate part of the brain and you can do whatever you want without even approaching a conscious belief.

You can insist the classical model all you want but the neurochemistry doesn't bear this out. Your desires come before your ideas, your worldview doesn't even exist in the right half of your brain, which is what's responsible for carrying out actions, and we know from strokes and lobotomies that the right brain isn't relying on the left for this.Worldviews, theories, ideas, only occur along language, which is a part of your brain that is extremely bad at handling anything in the real world. It can only understand rigid predefined categories, and not how they interplay with each other.A worldview only matters for things like engineering, cooperation in large groups, etc. but it has very little to do with what you want, or getting it in any direct way.Fun thing to know, in lobotomy patients, if you show them an image through their right eye (linked to the left brain, worldviews) then have them draw that image, then ask them why they drew it, they will make up a fictional story about why they drew it without even attempting to access a memory, which they do have.Your worldview isnt even connected to reality in that way. Most of it is a lie you make up ad hoc without even realizing its not true
