DNS leaks are not dramatic. There’s no attacker, no data center breach, no policy failure. Just code doing something its authors didn’t intend, quietly working against the protection users assumed they had.
This sounds AI generated. I suspect the entire article is. Some cases it explores I have heard of but I wouldn’t trust AI to not make stuff up.
Matrix is only really enjoyable with unencrypted chats.
I have fairly recently switched phones. Now, a good number of older messenges fail to decrypt. Even when I don’t switch devices, a group chat for a three day long event with a very small group already gave us lots of fun decryption errors. Oh, and I have this other fun group chat where Fluffy Chat constantly reminds me that people whose devices I haven’t verified will be able to read my messenges every time I send something. Also, Matrix has coutless clients with different feature sets and I heard calls are a pain to ßet up.
Signal, on the other hand, just works. Federation and decentralization is obviously nice but a functional product is more importmant. I haven’t had a chance to try XMPP unfortunately.
