Hey, is it true that the same encryption algorithm originated at Open Whisper Systems to be included in Signal.app. And so a big difference between Signal and Wahtsap is the lack of ads? Oh yeah, and the backdoor that Meta put in Shatswap.

@BallShapedMan - I think there’s way to automate a transcript of this video, as well. Some of us read much faster than a video transmits information.

I’m just quoting the article. Sounds like you have more to add, care to comment on what IS ‘the real factor’?

I’m pretty sure we could all have quite reasonably expected rising costs, destruction of science, frittering of international standing, increased morbidity and mortality, etc.

"The US tariffs imposed on China on 1 August 2025, played a substantial role in the increase in DRAM prices. " DJT say he gonna lower prices on day one. NOPE.

Six percent is just ‘cost of doing business’. Make the fine big enough that zuck actually cares, and then the illegal activity will stop. I suggest 50%.

JORB!

No worries. We’ve all got that Lizard Brain deep down inside. Gen Z appears to have some literacy, thank goodness for that. More than I was aware of from direct interaction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_views_of_Generation_Z Mostly I’ve noticed a subtle sarcasm, which If I try to emulate it just comes out sounding mean. So I don’t do that anymore.

I scoff at your statement, O’ Lizard!

“The correct quote from any expert is that this looks like a normal criminal SIM farm, that’s used for a wide range of purposes, often SMS spam. They are pretending to be thousands of normal mobile phone users to prevent the mobile phone companies from shutting them down. Some miscreant likely used the service to hide the origin of threats sent as SMS messages to politicians, which is why the Secret Service is involved. Theres no evidence the Secret Service is involved due to some actual national security or espionage threat — that’s just propaganda they are hyping.”

So there IS a path forward?

Dang!
