What does Telegram do better and how?

User experience, like I said. How many less technically inclined people do you know who will understand why they have no message history in Signal after moving devices? Yes, they could have kept it if they’d had backups enabled and moved the archive over and restored from it, but it’s too late now, their entire contact list has been notified that their safety number’s changed (another aspect we get to attempt to explain). It’s a bummer.

I won’t be popular in this thread, but I don’t fight this battle anymore. Telegram beats Signal in virtually every aspect of user experience. If a person is unlikely to be convinced that e2ee is worth taking all the UX hits, I don’t try anymore.

Doesn’t seem to matter what I do, the card simply refuses to go to sleep. And there’s no option to switch it off in the bios 😭

I cold-boot daily because fucking nvidia 👺

Virtually everything that’s ever written permanently to disk first exists in memory though.

If it were difficult or time consuming to lookup or fetch items from the cache, it’s not a very effective cache 😬

For anyone interested in reading more on this type of thing, the colloquial term seems to be “SMM panel” where SMM is “social media marketing”. EN Wikipedia has nothing of course, but DE has this: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMM-Panel.
