What do you call it when you come to hate something not because of anything about it directly but because other people are entirely insufferable about it?

Signal isn't secure in the same way that a fucking bank vault isn't secure if you leave the damn door open.
THAT DOESNT MEAN BANK VAULTS ARENT SECURE.
Dear fucking lord stop trying to put words in my mouth so you can glaze signal harder!

I literally never said it wasn't.
It's a tool, that when used properly, is secure.
Why are desperately defending signal from criticism that isn't even directed at signal?!
Me saying "sometimes people are stupid" is not at all saying "signal is a worthless piece of shit".
That are not the same claim!

So, you're saying that
"Signal is secure only if you take further security steps"
And
"Signal isn't secure if you don't take further security steps"
Are somehow entirely opposite and incompatable conclusions? Really? This is where we're at in the pedantry olympics?

We have tons of martial artists in pokemon, but not one of them will ever throw hands themselves. Disgraceful.

I... what? I have to assume this is intentionally confusing language.

My statement about signal is that it is secure (as far as im aware) from external cyber security attacks, but should not be where your security practices begin and end.

That's all.

Got this one earlier this year. Just... not even trying to be subtle about it.

We have top political officials in the US who thought it made them invisible to the press and the public.
But it wasnt. Because they were stupid.
I know the current regime isn't a high bar, but that doesn't mean people won't trip on it.

Trisha Faux Saoirse @trishafauxsaoirse.bsky.social · 1d

Yes. That's my point.
And some people have been, are, will be that stupid. And some of those people will use "but signal is secure, no one will see it" as their reasoning for why they should have gotten away with it.

It was an example of someone using a secure app in an insecure way because they're under the delusion that just having it makes literally anything they do secure.
The conversation about security is a lot more nuanced then "download this app, it's secure!"

My point is Signal is secure if you are secure, as we've seen with high profile cases where people weren't.
That doesn't make signal useless, it's an amazingly powerful tool when ised correctly, but claiming that it's infallable is going to have people live chatting at a protest taking selfies.

Yes. That was the intent of the statement. I am agreeing with you.

He's in the closet and doesnt know how to come out.

Trisha Faux Saoirse @trishafauxsaoirse.bsky.social · 1d

I get that.
The red tape is there because leaks don't come from code monkeys cracking the system, they come from user error stuff, like falling for a phishing scam or inviting a journalist to your group chat.

Signal isn't secure! (enough for classified communications like government correspondence, which is why they have their own internal systems for that, but for normal people it far exceeds most encryption use cases)

Fantasy high is a good start, misfits and magic is my personal favorite, and of course Dungeons & Drag Queens is wonderful 💜

To be real, i havent really seen pyroar anything. Probably one of the top 10 most forgotten about pokemon, even though it claims a unique type combo.
