Granted #Sony still won with the #PS3 compared to the #Xbox360 because at launch it was the cheapest #bluray player (just like the #PS2 was at launch one of the cheapest #DVD players).

• #Microsoft's halfassed Support of #HDDVD was intentionally an act of spiteful 'pissing into Sony's breakfast cereal bowl' as to #FUD consumers into #Streaming....

@Cappyjax IDGAF about "passion". All I care about is the security of users!

Requiring any #PII like a #PhoneNumber is inacceptable when it comes to #ComSec, #InfoSec & #OpSec, espechally given @signalapp is not only able but entirely willing to restrict service based off said numbers, making their "solution" insecure by design.

• There's a reason why #XMPP+#OMEMO and #PGP/MIME [both each over @torproject / #Tor] is the evidently superior and more secure approach, as being unable to "#KYC" a user is a matter of security...

Espechally since obtaining a phone number anonymously is oftentimes illegal (i.e. #Germany made it illegal starting 07/2017, so using any service that demands a phone numner is out of question)

• And even if one can get an anonymous #SIM (with a phone number) or god forbid #eSIM, (which is at best pseudonymous as tracking down users by virtue of matching ICCID, IMEI & IMSI to location and time) the chances are high that one ends up with recycled phone numbers that have already been used.

Obviously the devs of #Signal and @Mer__edith are well aware of this critical flaw, which is why I consider them to act as "useful idiots" or rather "controlled opposition" as #Signal could've been shutdown trivially by the #US Government or forced into banning users based off their #PhoneNumbers (they may call this "#sanctions #compliance" given they added a #Shitcoin - Wallet into Signal!)...

• All the "but #Metadata" #FUD turns into #MarketingLies once put under the looking glass and examined against the risk of state-sponsored / -endordsed / -supported attackers.

Whereas with @monocles / #monoclesChat, @gajim / #gajim and @delta / #deltaChat and @thunderbird / #Thunderbird respectably I can not only use Tor, but do #SelfHosting for the entire #communications infrastructure (i.e. using an #OnionService = only reachable via Tor) and get the advantages of a self-routing, self-authenticating & battle-hardened against censorship proxy network that can't be shutdown!

• And if you think this is too tinfoilhatted, then consider yourself privilegued enough of having your mere existance not being criminalized by the government under threat of public execution!

The best of #GrapheneOS supporter (on bluesky fortunately) #fud
Maybe GrapheneOS is also a trolling farmer

@menel @patrick and #Signal despite their #FUD and #MarketingLies is a very #cebtralized, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvieer system relying on #GAFAMs and their #API|s as well as neither allowing #SelfCustody nor #SelfHosting.

• Given the risks if being bound to #US law (incl. #CloudAct) it's just not an option.

Not to mention it's toxic followers that avt like cultists!

@dzwiedziu @fj @signalapp not really, as the #Metadata #FUD cited by #Signal is mitigateable with proper measures.

• You can't even run Signal over @torproject and even if that point is moot when you're forced to quasi-#KYC by virtue of a #PhoneNumber aka. #PII they have neither legitimate interest nor technical reason to demand in the first place!

Every claim that things like #ITsec, #InfoSec, #OpSec & #ComSec can be solved with "Just use Signal!" is "#TechPopulism" at best if not being a "#UsefulIdiot"!

• All #centralized, #SingleVendor & #SingleProbider systems are inherently insecure!

@hoernchen72 @fasnix @expertenkommision_cyberunfall EXAKT DAS!

Oft sind das #Betrüber die Menschen dazu überreden (#SocialEngineering / #SocialHacking) und/oder entsprechend #FUD machen.

• Gibt da genug Kanäle wie "#JimBrowning" und "#ScammerPayback" die aktiv diese Dinge zerlegen.

Ist nix anderes als die #Schockanruf-Taktik, nur halt 'irgendwas mit #Cyber' und sei's nen Fake-#Popup.

• Deshalb sind #AdBlocker auch #Notwehr & #Nothilfe!

@skeptator ich habe damit weniger Problem als mit der "#KontrolliertenOpposition" aus "#NützlichenIdioten" und #Slacktivisten die dazu #FUD'den.

• Wenn wir dem #Petitionsausschuss nicht mehr vertrauen können ist längst #Art20Abs4GG-Zeit!

@lispi314 @lauren @pixelschubsi yes, but we canbagree that very #centralized servers like those of @signalapp are way more susceptible to that compared to any halfassed #OniomService because it's trivialbto hust shove some #GlimmerGlass box on the fiber between a datacenter and their #upsream(sl and just "#bullrun" the selectively captured traffic...

With @torproject / #Tor it's much cheaper to actually attack and take down a #Server / #Service.

For an organization like #Signalcthat that gets their fans to #FUD about "#Metadata" it's shocking to see they didn't do an #OnionService to this day!

@malwaretech this reminds me of @tomscott 's classic video about the #FUD / #DigitalSnakeoil industry re: #VPN...

• Personally I just use @torproject / #Tor for everything!

@Freiheitsrechte sind @innn_it nicht die die so lustig sind und z.T. so #FUD absondern gegen https://epetitionen.bundestag.de ?

• Oder verwechsel ich da wen?

@MoneroTalk because people using #Monero don't do it #HODL or #speculate but as a genuine #payment system!

• And that's why it has stenght, which it's not "going #ToTheMoon!"

The value of Monero isn't it's exchange rate but it's #tech, #privacy, #fungibility, #speed and #scalability.

• No matter if #FUD, #Delisting and #Criminalization will change that.

@AdeptVeritatis @MAKS23 "#nuclearEscalation" is a #soviet #FUD that is older than my parents, so I'd not give a shit about what #Russia under #Putin does.

• Putin should be fucking glad #Zelenskyy didn't pull a #BushJr and offered a 8 digit bounty on his head with a public "capture or kill" offer...

@ashten Feel free to submit any evidence re: @trans_rescue to the dutch authorities to investigate...

• Otherwise this is just part of a long-term #FUD campaign that isn't substantiated and based upon lies!
