My boss thinks he's all that when it comes to tech stuff. He touts his bachelors degree in Networking and his certificates for shit. I consistently prove his ass wrong. He made a challenge for me to hack into his desktop saying it wasn't possible. All I had to do was take out his hard drive, put it in my computer, mount it, and I had access to all of his files. I told him he could easily stop that with encryption and he said it was useless because no one would think to do that.

yes, it's all security theater. any kid can smash a window and gain access. at least your insurance might pay up.

you are pretty delusional if you think you can protect yourself against someone that has physical access to your computer. evil maid attacks are real.

that disk encryption doesn't protect against more common attack vectors like trojans at all should be obvious, too.

No, it's phone only.

Telegram isn't recommended because it's made by a for-profit company with no sustainable business model. One day they will need money and the easiest way to make money when you didn't plan to make any is to spy on you.

Signal is made by a sustainable non-profit.

whatsapp works better and uses the same encryption scheme as Signal:

Because a lot of people are ignorant, and a lot of people don't realize the ramifications that privacy invasions of corporations, governments, and random 3rd parties have on your life.

Credit card theft is rampant, people post their kids' photos online on facebook and twitter, and let social media post their GPS coordinates every 5 minutes automatically. And they wonder why 'the bad people' can find them and kidnap white kids from nice neighborhoods.

Listen. I don't even fucking want to read this page.

Facebook's only income comes from data and from spying. That's how they make money and that's the only way they have to make money.
And they need that money to keep the company alive.

They cannot provide end-to-end encryption because that would mean that they can't spy on you and thus that they can't make money. That would mean the end of Facebook.

The only thing Facebook can do is to PRETEND to be secure so that you feel safe and use their products.

Follow the fucking money. Facebook CAN'T be private and secure that would make them go bankrupt.

I don't fucking care what this webpage says it's only lies and misdirection. "Story teller" is an actual job title for companies like google and Facebook. If something is from Facebook it's not end-to-end encrypted. Period.
>>
>>53016222
you can't reproducible build signal. so you have no idea if the source code matches. therefore your whole argument about open vs closed is stupid.

otoh you have the signal dev confirming that whatsapp uses their code. if you trust him you can use signal or whatsapp, if you don't you can use neither.

Being an American citizen in the USA and communicating with another American citizen who is also in the USA is about the only legal protection anyone has from the NSA, literally everyone else is legally fair game to those hoover cunts.

Even americans in america communicating with americans who MIGHT be outside america aren't safe. Foreigners like us are definitely not safe.

Of course, thanks to the five eyes, GCHQ monitors American citizens in America communicating with other Americans in America, and complies with any American request for information immediately and in full with no questions asked.

/r9k/ is a cesspool.

I'm aware that being a "functional member of society" is seen a good thing thing or whatever, it's just ridiculous how delusional normalfags are when trying to designate themselves as someone 'different' from other normalfags. Encrypting files on your tracking device and/or following /g/'s latest trends doesn't make you any less of a normalfag if you have zero problems making friends or getting a girlfriend.


The term "normie" has been butchered to death over the years. It practically means "someone with different ideas from me".
>>
>>53018997
A normie is someone who is socially well adjusted/stable, not just non-autistic. Having a GF or friends is not always an indicator of being socially well adjusted.

For example someone may get "friends" or a "girlfriend" simply for being born wealthy even if they have zero social skills, or someone who is completely fucked might make "friends" or a "girlfriend" via manipulation so they can use them for things they want.
