Consider the Strongest Notification Protections for Your Secure Messaging Apps
Secure chat tools are designed to keep the content of the messages safe inside the app.
So, for secure chat apps like WhatsApp and Signal, that means the company that makes those apps cannot see the content of your messages,
and they’re only accessible on your and your recipients’ devices.
Once messages land on a device, it’s still important to consider some privacy precautions, particularly…

If you're using an LLM to generate passwords, STOP. For one, your chat logs are a matter of record and are open to people within the company! For another, LLMs aren't smart and don't know what they're doing, so that password isn't guaranteed to be any good. Just use apg or something

I was fed up with Matrix and tried coming up with my own federated chat protocol. It got really complex really quickly.
In order to resist enshittification it needs to be decentralised. It can't be P2P because that would drain phone batteries. It must be federated. But that means that your admin could read your messages. So it must be federated and encrypted. And that's where it starts to get real tricky.

Why does this keep happening? Grammarly recently introduced an AI chat, and also, their spell-checking service, which previously was their main product, suffers from constant reliability issues since them. I'm paying for this service, because it used to be good, I never asked for an AI chat. I can go to ChatGPT, or Google, which used to be a search engine and is now an AI chat with a worse version of the search engine attached. Not that I'd want any of that.
