Solid points. Thank you for the rational thinking!

How am I outing myself as anything by questioning you? By suggesting you’re advocating for centralized algorithms?

Well let’s think through this…

Algorithms curate content for unique individuals. This means they need lots of data on the user in order to do so.

Rossman is advocating for no algorithms. You don’t like this. You go so far as to call this “sick”. Therefore, you clearly *want* algorithms.

If the algorithm is decentralized, then that means it’s distributed. So everyone’s individual data needs to distributed so that an algorithm can come to a consensus on what to show each individual..? This is insane. And retarded.

No one is going to want to process other people’s data. There’s no incentive. Not when the alternative is the algorithm running on the individual’s client. And that’s pretty much entirely within everyone’s control on nostr, YouTube, and any other tool that allows you to search, view tags, view followers, mute what you don’t like, etc.

So given that this is solved, and you’re still bitching, I assumed you were advocating for a centralized algorithm - the alternative to a distributed one.

So if you’re not, mea culpa - you’re just insane and retarded. My bad.

Exactly.

Most people don’t understand the first thing about security OR they don’t want to take personal responsibility.

…or they just want to dunk on someone for fake internet beauty pageant points.

That’s not how the MLAT works. Extra-judicial governments go through the local government. Therefore, Proton only ever hears from the Swiss government. The Swiss government may be acting on behalf of the requesting authority, but it still goes through them.

So Proton isn’t misleading. They’re being perfectly clear.

So what’s the issue, then? Is it that people don’t understand nuance? Big fucking “yes, sir” on that one.

Is it that people have a completely unreasonable expectation to think that Proton is going to deny requests that the Swiss government backs? Yep.

Is it that the these people believe that, by some miracle of technology, Proton can magically ensure that the data is encrypted perfectly from the sender to them, and that all other mail relays honored that? Probably so.

Could it be that these people have no idea how this works, and sure as hell don’t want to take personal responsibility and encrypt their own data before sending it to/through Proton? Definitely.

As said above, one uses Proton to prevent their data being sold. Not to protect from nation-states. That’s what personal encryption methods are for. Or not using public services at all, for that matter.

This is all just attention-seeking theater.

People also conflate threat models.

If you’re worried about the government, then you shouldn’t be using email - which was captured a long time ago. Even if Proton DID block all governments - including the Swiss - the feds can just go to the other end. Odds are good most of the people complaining receive email from non-proton mail relays. That’s ALL insecure.

IF they were really being genuine, they’d just encrypt their mail content before sending it through proton.

No, the reason you use Tuta or Proton is because you still want/need to use email and you don’t want to be spied on by your provider (like google/microsoft/hotmail). That’s it.

If the suits want war so bad, can they just pay for it themselves? That’s really all I’m asking for.

“Sick”? Really?

You’re on a decentralized network, use decentralized tools per your other posts, and you’re sitting here advocating for centralized algorithms?

And those that don’t are “sick”?

You don’t see the problem with this thought of yours?

Amen.

The cost of AI will drive to zero.

Hard to imagine, but that is the function of technology. To deflate. It will only accelerate as new AI models outperform older models.

Remember qetest? Pepperidge Farm remembers. Ah, good times.

We need more game developers like id of the 90s.

Thanks for the heads up - found the job post.

Thanks for your response. This is absolutely the best case scenario.

Hats off to the graphene team and Motorola. Pretty refreshing to see this.
