AI will improve and this will be a multi trillion dollar market. Big tech is in a race to be the biggest.

We don’t need it and should be focussing on important things but yay capitalism right?

Yes, this is what spoilt brats do. There is no masterplan here.

Also no way to block people that are not on your contact list. I get a lot of spam lately by scammers and the likes.

Deranged people attract one another.

They probably still have usernames, phone numbers and access logs with IP adresses even though the chats are encrypted.

Telegram never or rarely cooperates with authorities in investigations into terrorism, child abuse, drug trafficking, weapons marketplaces, etc. This is probably the main reason they arrested the guy.

Technically yes if my vault gets compromised I would be fucked. I have it firewalled tho and only accessible from home (or VPN to home). So should be pretty secure. I used google authenticator but found it a major pita (can’t even search entries on Android, wtf?). If they make this more user friendly I’ll gladly switch back to a seperate OTP store.

Recently started using Bitwarden and it works really well. You can even ditch authenticator because it has OTP built in too.

I selfhost it though because I trust nobody with this type of sensitive data, encrypted or not.
