Exactly. I‘ve never had a chat on Telegram with E2EE that wasn‘t originated by myself.
My guess is less than 1% of Telegram is E2EEd. Probably less than 0.1% even. After all, they don‘t offer E2EE for group chats at all.

Yes, python has strong typing and in that sense passes this bar. It's a fine choice for many things, and if you enforce certain things in CI, it can be a good choice for many more.
The worst of both worlds is colleagues who insert type annotations but they're wrong. And there's no CI pipe to verify the types before check-in.
Working with these things makes me often think that people who want to write high quality software should just use a better language. But, well, real world is real.
Yeah unfortunately Python is crazy popular so a lot of the time you don't get a choice.
If fairness if you set up uv and Ruff and Pyright it's kind of ok. Still have to deal with the general noobness of the ecosystem and the horrific performance, but I've seen worse.
I was on your level 10 years ago. It has become obvious recently that humanity cannot handle it.
Now, I need very good evidence that it's a good idea before I support the kind of free speech that destroys civilized society from within.
Perhaps it's supremely ironic that americans will have actual need for anonymity in online spaces now. And not for posting dumb memes, but for doing the things to tyrants that their Founding Fathers kept talking about.
Now it's ultra-racist ultra-fascist Twitter management. Do you actually think that's better? Why are you whining about "woke" people who have long since been fired, but embracing the racists and fascists who are now running and being platformed and amplified on Twitter?
Yes, "Twitter". If Elon Musk can publicly abuse, humiliate, lie about, deadname, and misgender his own daughter to his millions of followers, than I can deadname Twitter.
Edit: I’m unaware of the ‘scene’ position on repacks, my general feeling was that it is ok. It is all about being first. Repacks are not first so are given less attention. But please enlight me.
Haphazard reporting work or malicious lying from Telegram's side?
