@julia doesn't any in-chat apps allow you read messages in clear/plaintext?

@jae @julia

( the joke )

@feld @julia i am jack's misplaced sense of dumbfounded

@julia someone will for sure call out:
"its not a bug, its a feature"

@julia @aspyrine matrix prevents this *in app*, not when leaking messages https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/french-govt-messaging-service-breached-in-account-hijacking-attack/

@julia matrix directly beams the encrypted stream of conversation into your brain. you have to install a homomorphic encryption comprehensor flesh blob into your brain to use it

@julia goddammit

@julia uhhhhhhhh... Oh, nevermind.

@julia I enjoyed this joke.

@julia

@julia thank you for making me choke on my food out of laughter

@julia Whaaat?! That means it’s open to all sorts of social engineering attacks and people peeking over your shoulder?!

They should be showing messages in a made up language that only the recipient understands. Common industry practice, innit? SMH

@julia still leaks metadata in form of who tried to message you. this needs to be stopped!

@julia @volpeon
That's a feature not a bug

@julia Do you have a source for this please?

@julia Matrix is safer because you can't send messages.

@julia in matrix, no one can read your messages, it’s all encrypted turtles all the way down 🐢

@julia *reverses strings for fun* sick burn, luv

@julia a message that you can read is a message someone else can also read under certain circumstances. ;D

@julia [unable to decrypt message]

@julia [unable to decrypt]

@julia whoa

@julia and to make it extra safe Element X it won’t tell you that it protected your messages and instead just say “Waiting for message”!

@sigmasternchen

@julia

@julia pfffff

@julia Lol, like 40 years ago I wrote a program that caeser-ciphered your chat messages and got banned from at least one system for it. I called it "Captain Midnight's Secret Encoder Term" which was a huge clue and there were people who didn't bother running it and decoded it in their head.

@julia is there a signal vulnrubility for biting my shiny metal ass?

@julia lmao

@julia just run an aes256 algorithm in your head /joke

@julia 🔒 Encrypted
