It’s one of the reasons I think public voting is a terrible idea. It’s a wet dream for hyper-targeted engagement farming. Even to the point it creates a bit of a nightmare scenario for spear phishing and malware injection. The stated “transparency” benefits just seem incredibly trivial compared to the risk, especially when actual malicious actors will simply spam bots and alts, while actual users must navigate this weirdly huge threat surface for basically no good reason.

Technology@lemmy.world•Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End EncryptionEnglish
3·20 days agoYes, any time you can store and recover encrypted cloud archives across devices, without needing to transfer keys between devices, it implies that there is a key archive somewhere in the cloud. Even Signal struggles to get this both user friendly and properly secure without compromising forward secrecy. I believe they still actually make you explicitly do a local key transfer to populate a new device, even though they have cloud archives now. Whatsapp doesn’t do that. And the app also clearly leaks some amount of unencrypted data anyway, archives or not.

261·24 days agoIt’s the next obvious step in the burrito nihilism movement. First we ate burritos and tacos and the world made sense. Then everyone decided burritos were too convenient and portable so they started getting deconstructed burrito “bowls.” Then carbs were bad so they removed the rice. Now we are in the final act, where they also remove the vegetables, cheese and sauce. Because nothing matters, life has no meaning and the world has gone mad.

Just like with all of these headlines, it will not charge in seconds outside the lab without cryogenic cooling systems. Pack density is already largely limited by cooling systems, so everyone looking for faster charging and higher range should really be focused on superconducting tech more than cell chemistry
