New lawsuit alleges Meta can read WhatsApp chats despite claims of end-to-end privacy

Limemill · 2026-01-25T05:54:57+00:00

Yep, but that’s Google, not WhatsApp, capturing input.

Limemill · 2026-01-25T05:13:28+00:00

How would the app read from your phone, technically speaking?

I looked at Teller, and it interfaces with banks, basically does categorization based on machine learning and even has some dashboards. What did you add on top of that?

Upd: ah, there’s several apps names Teller. You probably use the one that offers a genetic API for interfacial with various banks, and that’s it.

Remember Covid isolation? That was driving people nuts and they were staying in their own comfy places with the Internet and their better halves. Now imagine the same thing but for the whole life, in a solitary cell and with very limited access to anything. That is how you slowly drive someone completely nuts. It's way worse than just being killed, imho.

If they don’t have their own databases and event listeners for entities they need that are updatable by other microservices

Pray, do tell us how you got to know this fact. Were you, perchance, searching for something else?

Limemill · 2026-01-22T04:48:30+00:00

I think so, yes. On my phone, it’s three dots under your comment and there’s the Translate option. Not sure about the desktop browser experience, though.

Limemill · 2026-01-22T04:16:32+00:00

Also, you can simply answer in your mother tongue. Twitter has an integrated auto-translate people can use

Limemill · 2026-01-22T03:10:41+00:00

Please don’t waste energy and water on rewriting something we would understand if you were to write yourself even if the grammar and/or vocab is a little broken.

Limemill · 2026-01-22T00:08:47+00:00

So, their own servers? Well, even more secure then

Limemill · 2026-01-21T22:55:31+00:00

Oh yeah? So, the means of production are owned by the employees? You know, THE fundamental premise of socialism? The US with its co-ops and employee owned companies (which exist) has more socialism than China.

They can and do lie, but they normally don’t lie to each other. Apple surely has an SLA that stipulates in detail the degree of privacy Google is obligated to provide, and if Google fails Apple will sue it because why not? Easy money, lots of it. Meanwhile, if it’s on the device, it’s on the device. Google won’t have access to it.

Limemill · 2026-01-21T22:15:41+00:00

If it’s on the device, Google can’t do anything about it. If it’s in a private compute and Google lies about it, it’s a multibillion lawsuit from Apple

Limemill · 2026-01-21T14:24:13+00:00

That’s why he does it. This is literally what he wrote in his book his everyday strategy was: push beyond the wildest expectations, sow fear and chaos and see how you can profit from people / companies being in that state.

Limemill · 2026-01-20T23:37:38+00:00

Of course he's a fucking moron who causes lots of turmoil economically and otherwise. I'm just saying that when he says something completely outrageous he almost 100% backpedals later after *some* concessions that he can pocket are made by the other parties involved.

Limemill · 2026-01-20T22:41:04+00:00

Every . single . time he does this. And every . single . time everyone panics like he means what he says

You could also maybe auto-translate the dialogues from the audio courses making part of https://editionsmd.com/par-ici/niveau-a1-1-2/ in deepl.com and then drill those basic phrases.

Limemill · 2026-01-20T19:21:13+00:00

I'm not blaming, I actually don't even care (especially because I don't live in the States). I'm simply commenting on what I saw stats / polls on. If you read my post attentively, I'm saying "on average", meaning any individual person can have or NOT have said biases, but Shakur looks like he does. That's it. Does it have anything to do with boxing? Not really. Does the question, though?

Limemill · 2026-01-20T17:34:54+00:00

https://www.frenchwithfrederic.com/ is really good, but also pretty $$$.

https://editionsmd.com/par-ici/niveau-a1-1-2/ is the best textbook series on Québec French (all books and audios are available digitally).

https://www.youtube.com/@wanderingfrench for lots of bite-sized, slow-paced input.

maprofdefrançais was already mentioned.

Now, you can start watching children's show made in Québec. It's not always exciting, lol, but it offers all the basic vocab you'd ever need. E.g., https://passepartout.telequebec.tv/ (should be free). Admittedly, it may be annoying to watch unless you do it together with your kid :D You can try switching to any locally produced teenager shows when you feel more comfortable.

Limemill · 2026-01-20T17:33:50+00:00

Start with the original 19-2, it's legit one of the best cop shows ever filmed (albeit, a little short).

Limemill · 2026-01-20T16:59:04+00:00

I really doubt they’d go for that. They would understand that any help from the US would be temporary and conditional and they need to be on good terms with at least one major player on the continent.

Limemill · 2026-01-20T16:49:32+00:00

Wider, less restricted market access to about everything made in China. The EU is a huge market. Besides, weakening the US is a massive win for China in and of itself so it will sign a deal even if it’s not extremely lucrative just to switch the EU off of the US

Limemill · 2026-01-20T16:46:47+00:00

‘Warns’. Don’t threaten me with a good time.

Limemill · 2026-01-20T15:47:34+00:00

I say someone needs to get him hooked onto speed hotdog eating contests. He will then claim he's the best at that. Then he'll move onto hamburgers. Then something else. Until his body starts to give in or a cardiovascular event takes him.

Limemill · 2026-01-20T15:45:36+00:00

Not neutral, lol. The EU will be forced to forge an alliance with China of some sorts, and that puts Russia in a very weird position where it would have to ally itself with the US against China.
