🤫 A story shared by Jack Dorsey, the founder of Twitter, uncovered that the current leaders of Signal, an allegedly “secure” messaging app, are activists used by the US state department for regime change abroad 🥷

🥸 The US government spent $3M to build Signal's encryption, and today the exact same encryption is implemented in WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Google Messages and even Skype. It looks almost as if big tech in the US is not allowed to build its own encryption protocols that would be independent of government interference 🐕‍🦺

🕵️‍♂️ An alarming number of important people I've spoken to remarked that their “private” Signal messages had been exploited against them in US courts or media. But whenever somebody raises doubt about their encryption, Signal's typical response is “we are open source so anyone can verify that everything is all right”. That, however, is a trick 🤡

How this woke slop got made on Spike TV in 2017 is a little scary.

Your account has been given a warning

from reddit[A] sent 2 days ago

Hi,

Reddit is a vast network of communities that are created, run, and populated by people like you. In order to keep communities welcoming, safe, and great places to be, everyone who uses the platform operates by a shared set of rules—a set of rules you may not have realized you broke.

Warning for encouraging violence

We flagged the following as a potential policy violation:

Content shared from you on 05/12/2024 UTC

After reviewing, we found that you broke Rule 1 because you encouraged or glorified violence or physical harm. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for encouraging violence against people or animals. We don't tolerate any behavior that encourages, glorifies, incites, or calls for violence or physical harm against an individual, groups of people, places, or animals. Any communities or people that encourage or incite violence towards an individual, group, animals, or place will be banned.

As a result, we're issuing this warning, removing the violating content, and asking you not to break this rule again.

Reddit and its communities are only what we make of them together, and we want you to continue enjoying Reddit while helping your fellow redditors and communities stay safe. We suggest reading and getting acquainted with Reddit's Content Policy. A better understanding of these rules will help you avoid further actions from our admin team. If you do continue to break Reddit's rules through this or any other Reddit account, you may face additional actions such as three-day, seven-day, or permanent bans.

If you feel like you didn't break the rules, you can file an appeal any time within the next six months and we'll take a second look.

If you live in the European Union, you can also contact a settlement body to dispute the decision. You may also have the right to have this decision reviewed by a competent court under the applicable laws of your country.

This is a bit niche but nobody else on the (publicly indexed non-groomercord) internet has asked about it so might as well ask the tards here. I use a pair of 2nd gen airpods (third set I've purchased, they fit my ears better than any of the other ones) and they have some kind of super annoying artificial volume limitation on windows 11. They're about 1/2 as loud as they should be at max win11 system and max application volume vs my iphone. I can get around this with amp software gain boosters but this obviously adds lots of distortion. Has anyone else encountered this or found a solution?

I'm incredibly proud to announce that I've accepted an offer for my dream at @OpenAI

Along with my new colleagues Nick Land and Richard Sutton I'll be helping to usher in a new era in the history of the universe. I'm so excited!
