  • I don’t think that’s guaranteed to be true.

    A very old email of mine which I haven’t used in many years was in the breach.
    None of my other email addresses were in there, so it’s highly unlikely that I was affected by this malware in the last decade.
    That email has been in many other breaches however, so I wouldn’t be surprised if somebody who had access to an old dump was infected.
    My money’s on some random skid who downloaded an old database dump and got infected when they downloaded some bad warez.

    Either that, or this includes credentials from people who had the malware 15+ years ago.










  • Sms is bad if you care about privacy, but great for voyeurs.

    I frequently send dick pics between two of my phone numbers with fake messages about selling drugs and blowing things up attached, triggering them for a manual review in the government/carrier’s office.

    Signal is very useful for minorities and anyone who’s actually planning a terrorist attack.



  • An ‘ideal’ solution might require a complete redesign on how federation works.

    Something like a more decentralised network where you don’t have a ‘home’ instance.
    An instance would be more like a relay into a ‘core’ network, and you could swap between them at any time.

    It’d probably require your account info to be public though, so passwords wouldn’t be possible to implement in a foolproof way.

    Instead of signing in, your device could generate a public/private keypair on signup.
    The whole network would have your public key, and only content/actions that your device signs would be propagated on the network.

    Sorry, you probably don’t care about my ideas lol. Just thinking out loud I guess.
