On Signal you can verify user identify, and you should absolutely do it if were to discuss national security maters.
This is not a hidden feature, I think it’s designed to prevent man in the middle attack. It also work against the “oops I accidentally added a journalist to my conversation no one should know of”, which is so dumb that no one saw this coming 😅
If you were to discuss national security maters with someone, please just verify your safety numbers, IRL or through another safe and verified channel 🙄
According to Wikipedia pages 14, 18, 1488, 8814 are also common Nazi’s symbols. I personally feel the birthday explanation more likely as I see a lot of people doing that (without the nerdy base 2).
But yeah, I’m not sure of anything now, if you told me a few years ago that dozens of billionaires would go full on highlander on 2025 I wouldn’t have believed you…
I’ve been willingly enabling data collection features for Mozilla but I guess that time is revolute, they don’t feel trustworthy anymore.
That’s weird they decided to publish this with creepy horror-style sounds.
In France our main concern is about “Bolorisation”, which is about two billionaires owning most of the mainstream medias (including Vincent Bolloré, hence the name). We still have major independant papers but they hardly choose what’s on the public debate.
Yeah that’s what I meant by my initial message, there people still have access to somewhat reliable source of information, mostly thanks to publicly owned TV and radio, but it’s very very very fragile right now. Education to media and information would be critical to navigate this mess, but we suck at this.
That’s fair. In France law requires transparency on how you fund your campaign and sets a limit. We often have candidates who bend the rules but justice at least make it harder.
Ofc it’s hard to compare our two countries, the US is a fking continent.
I’m not living in USA but I think people got exactly what they voted for, didn’t they?
Now the question of it being an educated vote and people being equipped to navigate modern media with modern disinformation techniques is another subject.
Any critical infrastructure operated abroad is a security issue. That’s why even Europe developed its own alternative to GPS, to not be entirely dependant of the US?
I’m no expert, but I hardly see it being more complicated?
Well he’s both the richest man on earth and prime minister-ish of the home country of these platforms.
I agree he doesn’t say a lot of meaningful things but it would be a mistake to think he doesn’t have power.
When the internet archive was attacked a few months ago we were like “who would be dumb and mean enough to do that?”. We have new suspects! 🎉
We actually it seems quite fair-ish 🤷
AI has the potential to be a truly revolutionary development, one that could drive advancement for centuries. But it must be done correctly. These companies stand to make billions of dollars in revenue, and yet they violated our privacy and are training their tools using our data without our permission. Recent history shows we must act now if we’re to avoid an even worse version of surveillance capitalism.

It would be fair if ChatGPT or any american service received the same treatment, but the only article I found from 2023 seems quite neutral :/
At least it was Americans talking on an american platform. I wouldn’t be surprised if we had
frenchEuropeans leaders having occasionally this kind of discussions on Microsoft Teams or some Google chat.
