Absolutely not. E2EE means it’s encrypted from end to end. If I send data and I’m also the person to receive it on my app to inspect it, I’m both ends and the data should not be decryptable in between by anybody else if it’s advertised as e2ee. Zero knowledge on the other hand doesn’t mean that you transfer information securely but that you can prove that you have some information without it ever even being sent.

They also said they decrypt after transit before they encrypt at rest, so it’s not encrypted in between and they can look at your data. So it’s not e2e if you want both ends to be you.

You didn’t find meaningful sources. And I certainly didn’t stick my head anywhere. I read the articles. The point still stands that most of them had absolutely nothing to do with your points except their general bias. You’re supposed to give meaningful sources that are relevant to the points you stated earlier. Come on, it’s not hard. Except if there’s nothing to back up your claims, or course.

This is not about being a communist or not. You made statements, I asked for sources and all you could provide was a list of articles that were mostly unrelated to the far reaching points you made and even if they weren’t consisted mostly of unsubstantiated leftist ramblings. I never said you were delusional, but if you can’t provide meaningful sources for your far reaching claims then you can’t expect me to go beyond illustrating how you act because there’s nothing else to discuss.

War nie ein Fan von Bürgerräten. Es wird alt gerne vergessen, dass wenn 20 Prozent Faschos wählen auch 20 Prozent Faschos in diesen Räten sitzen. Mir ist nicht klar, was man damit gewinnt.

I implore you to move out of your echo chamber and actually pay attention to the points being obvious to anybody not being tied exclusively to propaganda pages. Some news sources aren’t just for delusional tankies and a source not being exclusively Russian astroturfing crap does not mean it’s wrong.

So, there were these points you mentioned:

• The west has absolutely hollowed out and looted Ukraine
• used it as a battering ram to damage Russia as much as they could.
• The US blew up Nordstream specifically to try to decouple western Europe from cheap Russian gas.
• The US Empire, post-2014 Euromaidan coup, uses Ukraine similarly to how they use Israel, to secure its interests in the region.

The first two links are about US officials discussing who they’d like to see active in a Ukrainian government and who they don’t. Doesn’t relate to any of your points. Maybe the last, but simply discussing which people are currently doing what in another country during a state of turmoil doesn’t really say anything.

The counterpunch link is just weird… It’s just a long list of weird accusations and propaganda without any substance at all. Looking at the site, it’s not a neutral news source anyway, but that, too, doesn’t give any sources concerning any of your points beyond “look, western politicians visited Ukraine”. Well, no shit.

The Consortium News article starts with brandishing the opposition as a Neo-Nazi movement and disqualifies itself utterly by that within the first few sentences. Like, those are your sources? That’s insane.

The Monthly Review Online article is about the Maidan massacre. Not directly related to the points above.

Maidan coup thread: deals with the question “Is there any credible evidence that Ukraine’s 2014 revolution was due to a CIA coup”. Even if the answer to this was “yes”, it wouldn’t be relevant to any of the points above.

Coup details: same. Like, it keeps going on how the US influenced actors. Well, no shit. That’s what politicians do. I still don’t see the connection to the allegations stated above and the way it’s framed in the article is despicable.

“Don’t get it wrong”: “The EU doesn’t care about Ukrainian lives — in 2014, they supported a far-right coup”, nah, I’m out. “Far right coup”, what bullshit. This whole myth of Nazis taking over Ukraine is just ridiculous and any article that keeps iterating that Russian propaganda is not believable.

advocating inflicting a military defeat on Russia in Ukraine… Helping Ukraine defend itself against an invading agressor because it serves your interest as well doesn’t make your second point true. Russia could stop the war today if they simply stopped attacking another country. They don’t. It’s not the west that uses Ukraine, it’s Ukraine that uses the west’s interest to reduce Russian power to defend itself. You’re mixing up cause and effect.

Washington, via CIA paramilitaries, has been fighting a proxy war - bullshit. The article is about US people training Ukrainian people, not about the CIA fighting a war. Helping Ukraine defend itself doesn’t mean you’re “using it”. If you’re teaching somebody some self defense to no longer get beaten up by a bully, you’re not fighting a proxy fistfight. What a stupid take.

NYT coup coverage with CIA involvement - same.

Nordstream US involvement evidence - long, long article that ends up accusing Ukrainian nationalists. No US involvement mentioned.

The US harvesting Ukraine for minerals - and here it is, the one part that I agree with you and that I think is believable. And of all the points up there, this only partly backs up the last one, because “getting resources” isn’t really “securing its interest in the region” (or one might argue it’s even the opposite, considering historic precedence such as Versailles, but I guess Trump doesn’t think that far ahead). Yeah, that sucks. But still, there is no indication of the US or any other western state being the cause here - it’s just Trump, the Russian asset of all the people, trying to take advantage of a situation.

Can you please just fucking stop this?

In 2 days time on Ask Lemmy:

There’s some creep hiding in bushes in a path which is connected to the gates of my neighbours house where I usually shit at. What do I do??

FTFY

Bei Letzterem werden sie auch nicht so schnell labbrig.

Und wie kriegst du sie dann stattdessen schnell labbrig?

There was a song written about this… People asked themselves this question for quite some time.

“C’est la vie” say the old folks It goes to show you never can tell

Of course you’re early. But don’t tell me people who married in their 40s haven’t been able to mess up their marriage either. It’s your mistakes to make. And who knows, it might just work. C’est la vie.

And kids. Wish I’d started earlier. My old body is failing.

Mind me asking how old you are? You writing like you’re on your death bed…

I’m not convinced that Nazis and dumbfucks aren’t half the population, so maybe it just checks out?

Wow. Yeah.

That explains nothing.

… and I’m sure you have sources for those accusations, right?

Correlation does not imply causation.

Well, none of what you say is wrong. It’s just not the point. There were other options besides tesla - and while they were different (e.g. I’m well aware of the small golf battery), they were there.

You say that for you it was the only decent option. Fine. But not the point. Maybe your usage profile warranted what tesla offered. But “Tesla was the only player in the EV scene back then” is just wrong. That’s all I said.

That’s literally their point?

Regular cars are capable of lasting until they literally break down and die.

These don’t exist anymore. If they do, it doesn’t matter if they move by burning fossils or electricity. It’s not a matter of EVs being movable smart devices that will be left behind eventually, it’s a matter of cars being like that.

I’m pretty sure Tesla was the only player in the EV scene back then.

Absolutely not.

I bought a BEV back then. It was a VW Golf. Still driving it. The leaf, eNiro and i3 were contenders for me.

I haven’t. Please explain.
