For a linux phone

The proton drive app does not have a way to automatically sync a specific directory. It's so infuriating, because they already have this implemented for the pictures.

And? As long as everyone was consenting why should we give a fuck?

Maybe I'm just too french.

I didn't say that there was any network plaintext transfer. I said the server needs to have access to the plaintext at some point.

it doesn't happen according to them

That's not actually what they say, because it would be the cryptographic equivalent of claiming they invented a new color.

They talk about encryption at rest without mentioning the rest of their infrastructure to confuse the hell out of people that don't understand encryption. Given your comments it seems to work.

Either way the point of telegram is not in privacy for everyone. You trade protection for convenience (cloud data and great clients)

That's not what their marketing says.

Seeing their user base, it suits most people.

Most people have zero idea what kind of security telegram provides.

In their explanation it was specifically stated that it should be either impossible or too difficult. Keeping keys and content separately, that's what it's about

They're lying? Encryption at rest does not protect at all against the server snooping around. When you send or receive a message, the server has to see it in plaintext unless you have E2EE. So there is a way for them to access the plaintext of any message you receive, and it happens automatically billions of times per day. It's pretty easy.

Telegram's "encryption" does not protect in any way against dump/search server side (outside of secrets chats).

Telegram's "encryption" only protects from your ISP spying, and it's the kind of encryption that everyone implements. Any website that does not implement such encryption would show a big red "Not secure" warning in your browser.

It does, but it's not really meant to. Ito add new businesses, use everydoor.

Like sudo that has had zero days lurking for 10 years?

I'm not advocating for reimplementing stuff for no good reason though.

Everydoor is a great android app for quickly contributing POIs based on standard presets. It's very efficient

If you want to be the absolute most efficient for POIs, check out everydoor. It's not very user friendly but it's pretty much peek efficiency, and it has support for saving info that other apps don't offer you.
