I actually always deemed that a quality aspect. If those shitbags use tgram it has a reason. Sadly it’s not really great for the app itself. So he had to do something about it. IMHO the best compromise he could do other than just staying “the bad guy”.

Despite being us-american and from Zuckerberg, it’s an incredibly horrible app. I would not touch this shit with a 10m-pole. It might be e2e, but can I verify this in the source? Oh right.

I meant the restrictiveness towards governments. The pesos and Nazis fucked that up, tgram had to do something or have their ill repute grow even more.

That too. Sadly the restrictiveness was badly abused. Noone really wonders but…that’s why we can’t have nice things.

You don’t say? A cloud-service I can access from all devices plus API and bots is not e2e-encrypted with zero knowledge? I’m shocked. That’s what “secret chat” is for. Literally.

They chose this way as the regular Joe and Jane don’t care for privacy but for comfort. You can never ever have both. Nowhere.

I love tgram for it being so open. And e2e when I need it. I don’t need privacy for when my smarthome sends me notifications about a light I left on or something 😁

Phhht…AI rocks. Nobody else tells me “you’re absolutely right, I’m very sorry for any inconvenience caused” in every sentence. They make me feel so smart.

/s, obviously.

Oh man, no thanks. The dark I can live with, but some sudden surprise stinky newborn? I gotta draw a line there.

Oh man,that is horrible. Where did that newborn come from? Must’ve been aweful to have one for 5 days.

Oh jeez. How is one supposed to recover from that?

Wow…just wow. But other countries have it rough too. In the last 50yrs I witnessed more than 2 power outages that took over 30mins, close to an hour to fix. We’re not perfect either 😁

Dude, I’m retired for 3 decades and still would need more time and had to prioritise hobbies. I work voluntarily with abused people, but not because I’m bored but because someone needs to. Besides that i love gaming, coding, traveling, cars, boats, going on daily tours with wifey, reading, music, watching star trek…

But I’ve seen people retire and getting bored to death a week later. I always found that sooo tragically sad, like they were born to be worker-ants and without work there’s nothing left worth living in their lifes.

But yes, the best job is one you actually want to do and are not forced to do.

I already did somewhere in my 20s like 3 decades ago.

But today, with maybe “just” one good academic salary, the minimum rent, no car and saving nost of everything? Difficult. Especially if you maybe wanna live while waiting for retirement. Maybe even have a car or travel.

And if you want a great retirement, you need Hobbies and hobbies cost money. Considering that mayve the government-paid retirement is probably gone or reeeeaaally bad in another 30yrs…you gotta save a looooot AND invest it furiously but safely. Which is work too.

World is fucked.

No we won’t (enlightenment). We’re in a global idiocracy that just goes downhill, the US showing us all our future. Sooner or later.

Said that 30yrs before, decided for no kids due to that, and just hoped i was wrong. But here we are, worse than i ever imagined. We as a species, i mean.

We’re all the same apes, we just speak different languages ☺️ To answer your initial question (in proxy, am no Russian) btw: The russian friends i have do not feel more xenophobia than before. In Russia that is. I’d say here they totally would, considering how hating Russia became the new normal (and also considering how many Ukrainians fled to here)

Idiots do that. Resenting a whole people for the acts of one asswipe. Not every Russian want this war. Not every person loves war. Stupid propaganda shit from both sides.

Check out xmpp. Wouldn’t know of anything remotely as useful as tgram. If it’s just about messaging yourself, you could also continue using tgram and doing your own encryption with your own bot for sensible data.

Sure, who knows. I just assumed that some boys were very jealous of the rockstar with a whole group of girls 😁 But yeah, kids can also be just idiots. We weren’t there.

And sure it’s not usually the case, and i wouldn’t tell that to any bullied kid. It just screamed jealousy in this particular case.

Lol. I will borrow that saying 😂

Born in the 70s. I’ve been called gay for nearly everything i ever did in the next decades. Didn’t even understand back then why my assumed sexual orientation was something seemingly bad.

I’ve also called someone gay. He swore he was hetero but wanted to suck me off. Because dicks are so “aesthetically beautiful” while vajayays where just “disgustingly filthy axe-wounds” 😂 He quit the friendship because i thought he was gay and dared to voice it.

That was sad and the best example of what this stupid world does to people who are just slightly off the “normal” path.

They didn’t either. One idiot started it out of jealousy (i presume) and the rest just parrotted him. People and their group dynamics…
