Why Threema?

For privacy, freedom, and control, iOS is out. As with Telegram, I advise staying away from the Google variant and highly recommend the Threema Libre implementation for Android. Licenses are not compatible across variants, so stick with the Threema Shop!

The largest criticism levied against Threema:

• 2023010? - Accusation - Three Lessons from Threema - Analysis of a Secure Messenger
• 20230109 - Rebuttal - Statement on ETH Findings
• 20230110 - Coverage - Messenger billed as better than Signal is riddled with vulnerabilities

“While some of the findings presented in the paper may be interesting from a theoretical standpoint, none of them ever had any considerable real-world impact,” the post stated. “Most assume extensive and unrealistic prerequisites that would have far greater consequences than the respective finding itself.”

Nope.

Each SimpleX release gets me closer to using it. The upcoming v5.8 update is no exception:

This release focus is improving the app usability, and preparing the foundation for v5.8 that will provide an in-built protection of user IP addresses when connecting to unknown file and messaging servers, reducing the need to use Tor (which would still remain supported via SOCKS proxy, for additional privacy).

And another round of security audits:

We are planning a 3rd party security audit for the protocols and cryptography design in July 2024, and also the security audit for an implementation in December 2024/January 2025,

Looking good.

Edit: SimpleX v5.7.5 is 313 MB without Data/Cache on Android. Yikes.

And it was a proper Warehouse successor, too.

My two favorite maps.

Trying to break that million point grind.

Damn, that was 25 years ago.

Wow, good catch!

Listen to the audio, it never specifies case.

I got the game bundled with a SoundBlaster Live! Platinum 5.1 kit and played it before, during, and after 9/11, and was blown away by the coincidences that appeared eerily prescient during this time.

The game came out in 2000 btw.

And the last official patch was…

…176 days before 9/11. Crazy foresight.

Oh, there you are, Shadow of the Colossus.

2005 (PS2), 2011 (PS3 w/ Ico), and 2018 (PS4 remake)

No E2EE for DMs, groups, or notes.

That’s going to be the deal breaker for most.
