Telegram never was the private alternative to anything, unless you took their advertisement at face value. It was always known to not use e2ee by default.

Signal is not a problem, the US gov things were very dumb users issues. It was not caused by Signal itself.

So the goalpost has not moved in years, Signal was and is still good, Telegram is only fine if you do not care about privacy.

That’s not my claim.

Lol, “do your own research”.

This is not about me but about the advice you give to people. If you give advices you need to back them up, you can’t just answer “I disagree” to contradiction.

I’m not saying you said it was precise. I’m just saying that not every layer is important, or even good.

What if there are less people using that VPN IP than using that ISP IP, now your are giving more information with a VPN than without. How do you verify the claim that a VPN does not log? Spoiler, you can’t verify, it’s just trust. You have to chose who you trust enough to give them access to the website you visit.

You’re dodging the issue. Why would an IP that’s shared and does not give precise location be as important as precise GPS location?

No, those are not “layer of abstraction” and they do not have equal importances, claiming otherwise is counter-productive. Each data does not reveal the same quantity of information and their hierarchy depends on your threat model.

I don’t think that’s true for mobile IPs since they are shared.

They achieve a lot less since Macron is in power. He “listen to the street” (to the unions actually) a lot less than its predecessors. The yellow jackets had to go very far, with a lot of victims, just to get a few concessions. Repression is a lot more fierce with a lot of police violence. This had the effect of discouraging a lot of people, protests are generally smaller lately. It makes some think that direct actions is the only way now but not much has happened.

To find national protests with real achievement you’ll need to search before Macron. There were some local achievements lately though. And protest are not done alone, there are usually strikes, negotiations and legal leverages at the same time.

This picture is actually from 2018 I think, so the beginning of Macron as president.

That’s actually vx-underground source for this post: https://xcancel.com/vxunderground/status/2032562782248349793#m

And it’s very handy for this, I have the same config for all my devices (desktop, laptop and server). Enabling and disabling different modules depending on the host it’s deployed to.

That’s why they are asking for a self-hosted solution, not a Google one.

As for your bottom line remember the contributors are working on it for free, they are not selling anything. So they are not running after more users. It’s good as it is, non technical people can use flatpack or AppImage and technical people can add a repo without issues.

And someday someone could add it to the official repo, it could be you.

The only relevant part in that link is this:

Some third-party repositories might appear safe to use as they contain only packages that have no equivalent in Debian. However, there are no guarantees that any repository will not add more packages in future, leading to breakage.

And you should be safe about this.

As I was saying, the devs are not responsible for including the package to the official repo. You are owed nothing and have plenty of other options to install it.

Adding a repo is not “tainting” an install. Adding a package to the official repo is not the responsibility of the devs but of Debian’s package maintainers.

Snowflake is an entrypoint into the tor network, not an exit point. I’m not a lawyer but I don’t think there are any legal implications, or maybe in Russia or Iran. And the whole point is that its traffic is very hard to identify.

No, it can’t.

They block with DPI so DoH would not be enough.
