'Meredith,' some guys ask, 'why won't you shove AI into Signal?'

Because we love privacy, and we love you, and this shit is predictable and unacceptable. Use Signal ❤️

After 7 years of external circumstances getting in the way, I finally managed to sit down with @jackrhysider.bsky.social and record a Darknet Diaries episode. Check it out here! :D

Ep 158: MalwareTech

Yes @malwaretech.com joins us. Tells us one of the most insane stories ever. Do not miss this one.

how it's going:

Young people deserve the right to privacy. Florida’s SB 868 is a dangerous bill that intends to decrypt teens’ private messages, ban disappearing messages, and allow unrestricted parental access to private messages. Stripping away the safeguards that encryption provides puts everyone at risk.

Yet another post about #CGNAT - because the #internet still hasn’t learnt. It’s 2025, and we’re still patching #IPv4 with CGNAT instead of embracing #routing with #IPv6.

God the EU Commission is exhausting. Do these people seriously think they can demand a “lawful access” backdoor in US-hosted messaging apps, and that US intelligence *won’t* use that tool to relentlessly spy on EU interests? www.politico.eu/article/encr...

Don't use xPal:

A thread on the Fediverse because I ran out of motivation to write about it on my actual blog.

We've recently seen serious spam attacks against Matrix, so we're introducing Policy Servers to recommend whether servers should accept or discard events *before* they get synced to clients. If your server participates in public rooms, see matrix.org/blog/2025/04... to keep it safe.

Matrix spam has gotten so bad they cobbled together policy modules to stop spam kek

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center say results of a Phase I trial of an mRNA vaccine aimed at preventing pancreatic cancer show promise. The vaccine PREVENTED the cancer from coming back in patients who had already received treatment for MORE THAN three years. 🧪🧵⬇️

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

got invited to the war planning matrix chat but everything just says "unable to decrypt message"

Right now there are a lot of new eyes on Signal, and not all of them are familiar with secure messaging and its nuances. Which means there’s misinfo flying around that might drive people away from Signal and private communications. 1/

No notes.

To those following this matter, it's the focus of my video tomorrow morning. I have first-hand news on what's going down.
