Enkrod , to worldnews in Saudi Arabia says Hamas leader's killing was 'blatant violation' of Iran's sovereignty

Even a broken clock…

Mrkawfee , to worldnews in Saudi Arabia says Hamas leader's killing was 'blatant violation' of Iran's sovereignty

Is this the US pulling favours to placate Iran?

geneva_convenience ,

Iran does not care for the opinion of Saudi

Mrkawfee ,

Normally not but since the start of the genocide the Saudis have started hedging their bets given how the US no longer has any credibility in the region.

Note: this is the same supermarket strike already posted here, but with an updated body count and new source.

As we all know, supermarkets are where the most hardened soldiers hide out. ^/s^

    Can’t have secret talk amongst the peasants

    woelkchen ,
    @woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

    Telegram, including secret chats, is not blocked because Russian elites happen to use that, too.

    brrt ,

    I could put on my tinfoil hat and say if signal is blocked but telegram isn’t, maybe that means that telegram isn’t as secret as they make it out to be.

    woelkchen ,
    @woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

    It’s open source. Look can up the encryption yourself.

    catloaf ,

    Can it be proven that that encryption is what’s used in practice?

    woelkchen ,
    @woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

    Just use the F-Droid version if there is any doubt.

    What about iOS users?

    Apple is not selling iPhones in Russia after the beginning of the invasion.

    Andromxda ,
    @Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

    Ah yes, because everyone just throws away their phone after 2 years. People definitely haven’t purchased iPhones before the invasion.

    woelkchen ,
    @woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

    It’s not about everyone, it’s about people needing to hide their communication from the Putin regime.

    doodledup ,

    They don’t have reproducible builds afaik (unlike Signal). You can have a completely different code running on your phone than on GitHub.

    Besides, who is using Secret Chat anyways? All default chats and group chats are unencrypted.

    Probably Russians who used Signal before.

    doodledup ,

    The F-droid version is also not reproducible. The binary you install has a different hash than the one you build from the GitHub.

    woelkchen ,
    @woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

    The F-droid version is also not reproducible. The binary you install has a different hash than the one you build from the GitHub.

    F-Droid builds from source, so any suspicion whether the Google Play version has been tampered is completely irrelevant for the F-Droid version.

    Nonononoki ,

    It’s reproducible if you compare it with F-droid’s tarball, which has all the source code in it.

    Varcour ,

    No need, all you have to do is read the whitepaper. they home brewed the encryption algorithm and nobody actually knows if it’s worth a damn. That’s not exactly a secret.

    woelkchen ,
    @woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

    nobody actually knows if it’s worth a damn.

    After all these years, security researchers still don’t know if the encryption is any good?

    HarriPotero ,
    @HarriPotero@lemmy.world avatar

    On that level it usually falls on computer scientists. Formal methods can prove that any implementation is correct, but proving the absence of unintended attacks is a lot harder.

    Needham-Schroeder comes to mind as an example from back when I was studying the things.

    woelkchen ,
    @woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

    On that level it usually falls on computer scientists.

    And not a single one has been able to analyze the encryption in all these years? Fact is, Telegram is the tool the Russian opposition and even Ukrainians use to communicate without Putin being able to infiltrate.

    HarriPotero , (edited )
    @HarriPotero@lemmy.world avatar

    No. It kind of falls on Dijkstra’s old statement. “Testing can only prove the presence, not absence of bugs.”

    You can prove logical correctness of code, but an abstract thing such as “is there an unknown weakness” is a bit harder to prove. The tricky part is coming up with the correct constraints to prove.

    Security researchers tend to be on the testing side of things.

    A notable example is how DES got its mixers changed between proposal and standardisation. The belief at the time was that the new mixers had some unknown backdoor for the NSA. AFAIK, it has never been proven.

    Andromxda ,
    @Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

    And it isn’t even encrypted by default, you manually have to enable that. By default, all your plain text messages are stored on their servers.

    Telegram is shady as fuck and also afaik only uses end to end encryption in „secret“ one on one chats.

    I was very explicitly referring to secret chats.

    Signal over Proton VPN Stealth protocol. All free, specifically for these types of situations.

    @independantiste@sh.itjust.works avatar

    Signal needs a phone number though

    JoMiran ,
    @JoMiran@lemmy.ml avatar

    They did away with that some time ago.

    EDIT: To clarify, it no longer shows the number.

    @independantiste@sh.itjust.works avatar

    That’s not really the issue though, if you want to stay anonymous and not tell the government you use signal, since sms is insecure

    Wildly_Utilize ,

    They never stopped requiring a phone number to sign up.

    They just let you hide this from other users now

    I’m planning to get a prepaid burner to try signal but I’m a bit concerned about the fact my contacts are associated with a phone #

    We are using simplex ATM

    JoMiran ,
    @JoMiran@lemmy.ml avatar

    Yes. I clarified that in a different comment. My original reply was not meant as “Signal is the best solution” but as a heads up that Proton Stealth can not only bypass the block but also disguise the traffic if you want to continue using Signal.

    hahahah, christ. when you go up high into the air, it gets colder!

    ftfa:

    Brazilian aviation engineer and crash investigator Celso Faria de Souza told Reuters that a buildup of ice could have caused the plane to stall and spiral in the way that it did.

    GD that was one horrible flat spin. No way they had a chance.
