Can you post a source about either of those claims? I’ve found nothing to support either of them.

Telegram does have E2EE chats (called Secret Chats), though they are only one-on-one, not enabled by default and their encryption is dubious.
Allegedly the former. By “allegedly”, I mean that Telegram is definitely uncooperative in moderation of illegal content, the alleged part is that that is the motivation behind the arrest. I also read somewhere that he was accused of tapping into Macron’s manager’s communications, but I can’t find the article and I don’t know how reliable that statement is.
What he meant is that people are unhappy when he asks about non-voters, and also when he asks about voters. He can’t win [the approval of people on Lemmy]. Also, not all leftists are marxists.
Yeah, France is already done colonising and exploiting Africa, Russia us just getting started.

Same here too, a 7 Pro.
Alternatively they could get bought by Google and be sunsetted within six months because the devs got bored.

You “don’t really wanna dwell on that”, buh you post about it?
Asus Zenfones are (relatively) small phones and they’re pretty decent.
You absolutely should. With time, the data they have on you will grow outdated, meaning they won’t be able to track an analyze your behaviour because they’ll have no idea how you behave now. It’s like the trail going cold. Hell, just becoming privacy focused already makes it near-impassible to be tracked, and since privacy-aware software doesn’t track, collect, sell or buy your data, what little they have will be much less useful. Also, if you live in the EU, the GDPR gives you a right to request the deletion of all data they have on you, and they must comply. Most other places probably also have laws in place to request the deletion of your data.
To me crypto has some genuine projects, although it is dominated by scammers and grifters. Nym, which is a mixnet project, with a token to incentivize people to host nodes, and Stasis Euro, a euro-backed stablecoin, look pretty legitimate. I believe there really are honest, well-intentioned crypto projects, though they are a minority and largely suffer from redundancy or poor implementation.
NFT’s are 100% a scam though.
The Ten Commandments are literally the word of God, straight from their mouth (hand?) and onto stone. Doesn’t get much more important than that.
Cinnamon is hands down my favourite DE. I always see people talking about GNOME and KDE, to me Cinnamon is the best of both worlds. Strongly recommend it with the Orchis GTK theme, which is made for GNOME but works fine on Cinnamon.
My favourite graphical app in the more traditional sense is Firefox. If CLI apps are allowed, I’m a big fan of GNU Nano, a CLI-based minimalistic editor, basically Emacs Lite.
Wether Telegram cares is beside the point. The original comment explained why Telegram is inconvenient for the CCP, to which you interject that it is not E2EE. All conversations on Telegram are encryted in one way or another, which is a major problem for the CCP, and people who desire privacy and use Telegram are likely to go out of their way and use the E2EE feature as well. Regular chats being decrypted in the backend is uncool for sure, but if you live under an oppressive regime that murders dissidents and their families, targeted ads are the least of your worries.
Telegram may not be good for theday-to-day privacy needs of the West, but it’s pretty great for fighting oppression. Not only is it encrypted, no other encrypted messenger (that I know of) has the organisational utilities that Telegram has, such as channels and 200k groups. If I had to organise any sort of dissident activism in an oppressive, censorship-happy state, I’d probably use Telegram.
Some people are going to care enough about the CCP not reading their chats to use Secret Chats… and those people are exactly the ones the CCP wants to spy on, so it’s a problem.
Even without Secret Chats, messages are still encrypted, just not E2E encrypted. They are encrypted until they reach Telegram’s servers, where they are decrypted, backed up, reencrypted and forwarded to the recipient. This is done to enable chat synchronisation across devices, but all chats, Secret or not, are encrypted at all points outside of Telegram’s servers. The CCP doesn’t control the servers, ergo the CCP can’t see the chats (unless they find a way to snoop on the user end, but this is harder for them to do and easier for users to circumvent).
Why not?
