That’s not how encryption works. But you’re not wrong about it being owned by meta being a problem. There’s more info in a message than just the contents.
IIRC whatsapp’s automatic backups are stored in cloud and unencrypted by default. So it takes only one person in the group chat who has backups enabled (pop up reminds periodically if not) and no password is set (not required, takes effort and will to set) to leak everyone’s messages.
Tbf, I don’t read unames, and my app shows the pronouns in line with and the same color as the unames, so I don’t read those either.
Literally no clue who I’m even responding to right now. Doesn’t really matter who it is either, my response would be the same regardless of your race/gender/whatever else.
The one exception is whenever I see something profoundly stupid I will sometimes check the uname and go “ah yes cowbee again how predictable” but that’s just pure entertainment and learning who here not to waste energy on, most comments are just comments and don’t warrant that level of self preservation.
Wait, what confusion? I use Voyager and I have no confusion about who is whom. I can see in the lower reply box that you are balance8873@lemmy.myserv.one.
The only issue with pronouns is that people who assume default maleness should be locked up anyway, so that’s an entirely separate issue.
You read your moral and intellectual superior explain reality to a bunch of morons. Don’t pull this “we speak other languages” excuse because it’s 1000% bullshit and you should be embarrassed to think it let alone say it.
People, nearly entirely men, assume maleness by default and it has nothing to do with language. It is just morons being morons. My joke about locking people up highlights your unfathomable idiocy in assuming gender when talking to others.
First of all: you should feel ashamed about yourself because you just started using insults in a civil conversation.
It’s not bullshit, it’s just reality, if i am used for all my life to say
“i poliziotti hanno fatto un ottimo lavoro a risolvere la questione”
(Masculine plural, used in language to refer to a group of people in which at least two different genders are present.)
Translation:
Police have done a good job to resolve the situation
i am also gonna use
“sei un poliziotto talentuoso” (Masculine singular)
Translation: You are a talented police officer
{The bold-italic indicate what gives the gender and if it’s plural or singular}
For talking in a text chat with someone i don’t know the gender.
You see that if i am a Italian speaker i am gonna use masculine simply because i am used it since…well since i know how to speak and it’s a hard change since in Italian you would have to change a bit more than in english your way of speaking.
Here a good source to understand better how it works in italian:
Yeah…but then what should i do? Many people have as a mother tongue a language that is gendered (the case for many langs in europe and south america since they come from latin) and usually male is used as standard when you don’t know the interlocutor gender or is used to describe a group that has 2 or more genders.
Saying something like
People who assume default maleness should be locked up anyway
Is just wrong because you are just blaming innocent people for doing something they have been doing all their lives for reasons beyond their control.
Context is important and voyager does not provide that. Many people respond to the wrong person in threads. For example you just replied to me about pronouns which isn’t my topic.
The visibility of information was the main topic, dad. We can all see the name of the person we are currently responding to, dad. Whether that’s the same as a prior discussion, dad, is hard to see, dad. Just fuck right off.
Nope, we use WhatsApp for escalation from clients when a ticket is too important to wait. Works great. Management talks to management and passes to us.
WhatsApp for business communications? Jesus
Whatapp is for business, and signal is for official government communication
Both are quite secure but neither of them stop an idiot on one end or the other from sharing the contents with the public.
I always find it funny how many people fail to understand the “end to end” part of end to end encryption.
If your endpoint isn’t secure then the messages aren’t.
whatsapp is closed source and meta owned. i think it’s incredibly foolish to trust that it has no backdoors built in.
That’s not how encryption works. But you’re not wrong about it being owned by meta being a problem. There’s more info in a message than just the contents.
you say that but they’re already thinking a step ahead and assuming meta left a backdoor or CVE at the behest of 3-letter agencies.
What’s facebook’s business plan? Right, surveillance capitalism.
IIRC whatsapp’s automatic backups are stored in cloud and unencrypted by default. So it takes only one person in the group chat who has backups enabled (pop up reminds periodically if not) and no password is set (not required, takes effort and will to set) to leak everyone’s messages.
I assume no encryption is safe from three letter gangs, at this point I’m only concerned with keeping grubby corporate fingers at bay.
Isn’t that true for any communications tool?
Works better than Teams.
Probably has better privacy and confidentiality options too.
There’s “WhatsApp for Business” & “WhatsApp Business Solutions”.
Catch-up, grandpa!
I’m aware the technologies exist - I can’t fathom wanting my sensitive communications served by meta.
Also, grandma* - my pronouns are right there.
Hey, just so you’re aware I’m reading this in Voyager and it does not display your pronouns like the web UI does.
It shows almost nothing and definitely leads to confusion about who is talking to who :(
Tbf, I don’t read unames, and my app shows the pronouns in line with and the same color as the unames, so I don’t read those either.

Here a good source to understand better how it works in italian:
1- mascluine and feminine
2 - articles: how they define gender and amount
From your comments i can suppose you speak only english/english is your main language or you only speak languages that have the neutral pronouns

The pronouns thing was the main topic, son. You’re being obtuse. We can all see who we’re talking to with Voyager.

I think those are for sales, like b2c advertising. Not for how your business talks to each other internally to destroy databases.
