Well said. It’s arguably still a net good even as is because it’s easier than ever to verify it, whereas to get the propaganda message out, you’re competing for attention on the web instead of on the street, but on the street it’s not as easy to verify what you hear.

Not that most people do, but they could

That actually makes a lot more sense

Let’s be fair that some people do it for personal honour, their family’s honour and/or they like doing it, or any other reason, doesn’t necessarily have to be for the country or the leaders. I don’t work because I love my CEO, I do it to make a living and at least I make a living doing something I don’t hate. My CEO just happens to benefit from it and likewise, the country’s leaders also benefit

It’s not stupid, it’s a limitation you can overcome with practice but only if you actually care enough, not like you absolutely must

I never even thought to look at Wikipedia, do you know which Wikipedia entry specifically? I’m curious

Meanwhile, Russian is 99% phonetic if you take the total of 5 hours to learn the Cyrillic alphabet (which by the way Duolingo was actually incredible at, just don’t use duo for actually learning the language)

I’ve cut my meat consumption to a third. I realise I don’t even like meat that much unless it’s ultra processed lol. I think vegetables and tofu are bloody bangin but for now I’m happy with meat 2 days a week, whether that’ll go down further I dunno

Yeah don’t get me wrong, I despise meta and their facade pretending WhatsApp is private. Your example is evidence but not proof but it does not mean I doubt you because it really doesn’t surprise me. Gmail likes to pretend it’s secure and private too because data in transit is supposedly encrypted but they can still just read absolutely everything in your inbox themselves

Isn’t it possible to verify WhatsApp encryption with packet sniffing?
