Instagram quietly drops end-to-end encrypted chats

cross-posted from: lemmus.org/post/20815993

Instagram appears to be stepping back from end-to-end encrypted messaging — a surprising move after years of Meta, its parent company, promoting strong encryption as the future of private communication.

A notice on Instagram’s help pages now says end-to-end encrypted messaging on Instagram will no longer be supported after May 8, 2026. The page instructs affected users to download any chat messages or shared media they want to keep before that date.

GrapheneOS has some services of its own that improve location speed and accuracy when enabled: SUPL and PSDS. They’re both implemented in ways that try to preserve privacy. See here for more info: grapheneos.org/faq#default-connections With these enabled, it’s usually quick to get your precise location.

cross-posted from: mander.xyz/post/47449079 I stumbled across this link in the comment of another post, and thought it was super promising! Someone mentioned something about in the US, this would be illegal due to DRM laws - not sure about the specifics of this, but regardless an open source printer seems like something we’ve needed for ages, as printers are something that always seem like way more of a headache then they need to be. It seems like such a simple technology that has existed for quite some time, but they are always such a pain to deal with. (Maybe it’s just my bad luck with printers?)

Not just the tech industry. A huge proportion of the US economy is made up of betting on AI. Like the crash of 2008 (but worse, some predict) it will hurt everyone but the richest, who will become even richer.

Even more efficient: humans do the specs and the implementation. AI has nothing to contribute to specs, and is worse at implementation than an experienced human. The process you describe, with current AIs, offers no advantages. AI can write boilerplate code and implement simple small-scale features when given very clear and specific requests, sometimes. It’s basically an assistant to type out stuff you know exactly how to do and review. It can also make suggestions, which are sometimes informative and often wrong.

The hard thing about debugging other people’s code is understanding what they’re trying to do. Once you’ve figured that out it’s just like debugging your own code. But not all developers stick to good patterns, good conventions or good documentation, and that’s when you can spend a long time figuring out their intention. Until you’ve got that, you don’t know what’s a bug.
