@falktx be careful using telegram on your work system.
That may constitute a violation of the GPDR, and possibly your work contract, since Telegram shares all your contacts/clients with their server and other users.
Signal FTW.
PS. and yes, update early update often at least apply security updates..
@x42 I never saw such thing and honestly have no idea what that is about.
What "contact list"? email is kept separate, so not that... sms and phone calls are not on the smartphone, so there is nothing to read from there...
do people really keep a centralized list of all their contacts?
I have people scattered around:
- IRC
- telegram
- signal
- line (korean chat app thing)
- sms/calls
- email threads
- nextcloud chat
very few are in more than 1
@nielso separation of tasks and devices helps here then. Only the "dumb" phone has a sort of shared contact list
@falktx google and slack are fine with regard that they don't require access to your whole contact list and notify others about it: "your competitor has just joined telegram" :)
