Encrypted Chat App 'Session' Leaves Australia After Visit From Police
Session, a small but increasingly popular encrypted messaging app, is moving its operations outside of Australia after the country's federal law enforcement agency visited an employee's residence and asked them questions about the app and a particular user. 404 Media reports: Now Session will be maintained by an entity in Switzerland.

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net wut da fuq?! What happened? What da hell was the Australian federal police even doing or asking? da fuq? I didn’t even know Session was based in Australia?! 🇦🇺 Oh my 😱 – I think this is worth enough to raise this with my local Federal MP (Elizabeth Watson Brown). This is nuts. The Australia FP can get bent 🤦♂️ I’d like to learn more about wtf happened here, seriously this is unacceptable and an overreach at first glance.

a or a q? Which is the natural consequence of taking the last digit in the base32 representation of a 256-bit hash -- 256 is not evenly divisible by 5 ! That final character is made up of one bit of actual information and 4 bits of padding.
@asquare@asquare.srht.site No need to apologise 😅 All very good points 👌

@prologic With respect, a client can not identify whether an edit took place. Not unless that same client witnessed both the original twt and the edited one. This won't be the case if a person you're following is joining a thread started by people you aren't following after the first twt of that thread has already been modified. Or if you're knocked offline by a multi-hour power outage that spans then entire time window between a twt getting uploaded and modified.

@asquare@asquare.srht.site This is absolutely true! 💯 However the natural behavior of editing a post is the same as forking. So from a community perspective, we’re actaully okay with how that works in reality. I think we’re all getting a bit too hung up on “exactness”. One of the things I think we’re finding hard to reconcile is the fine line between a decentralised ecosystem and distributed system.
I want it very much to remain decentralised. That means Content-based addressing makes sense, because you can have integrity about what a Twt Hash means. I don’t really mind if a thread gets forked because the OP was edited, that’s actually how forking works anyway 😅

In any case, yes Content addressing can break threads when the original content is edited that’s for sure, however we’ve since agreed and realized that technically speaking, we can actually identify from a clients perspective, whether an edit took place.

@asquare@asquare.srht.site We’ve collectively as a community (welcome to the community too! 🥳) had a many-week, multi-thread debate over this. It all boils down to Content Addressing vs. Location Addressing and the benefits, pros/cons of each approach. Ultimately though threads in Twtxt take advantage of a convention we formalized as the Twt Subject. This is combined with a Location-based Addressing, the Twt Hash extension. In the end we are likely to stay with this approach, but fix the parameters we use and truction.

The V: pattern itself is quite good because you can do quite a lot of powerful things with selected text.
For example: ggV}:s/^/ -/ will insert a - at the beginning of every line turning your bunch of lines into a Markdown list of items 😅

@asquare@asquare.srht.site And actually…

What is true here is if someone visits your “profile” on a pod whilst logged, it, yes yarnd fetches it in the background if it wasn’t already cached, as a “once off”. This is true.
