You guys probably don’t know this because you’re a bunch of entirely stupid fuckers but every Spacex rocket that has exploded was on purpose which is brilliant if you think about it because until you know all the things that make them explode you can’t know all the things that won’t make them explode.

Anyone managed to download their data from twitter lately? I've been waiting like four days now and is starting to suspect data downloads is one of the "unimportant" things Musk took down.

I requested my archive on Monday and still haven't gotten it.

the only way to innovate is to scrap everything and start from scratch, relearning extant data in the most roundabout and stupid way possible. It's called, "disruption," hth.

the problem is that unless you architect the entire service around E2EE, the backend needs to have the decryption keys to hand for all that data so it being encrypted at rest counts for very little

signal does it, but signal is intentionally very simple, scaling that out to the complexity of something like twitter or discord without making it a usability nightmare is an open problem

FB messenger and WhatsApp can both do E2E, it’s not really an open problem

the back end only needs to see routing metadata and enough to broker a key exchange, unless they’re doing indexing for search and similar

You can tell none of the explosions were on purpose because there's not a single shot of Elon Musk turning away from the exploding rocket and putting on shades as he casually strolls towards the camera in slow motion.

this poo poo is so lame I can't even handle it, he absolutely sickens me

His absolutely childlike zoomer sense of humor despite being a grown rear end man completely reminds me of someone I know to a disturbing degree. It's the stance that absolutely everything is some ironic joke or meme despite an actually serious situation that requires serious sober thought or communication and/or just the total refusal to engage with someone without throwing out shitposts and bad jokes that is eerily similar to this person. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVzdSPhcMUo Like this is how I imagine it is trying to talk to him in person even when you need him to sign off on something or actually shut up and listen.
