Okay, the summary so far:

Chanpter 4 (unfinished)

The day after Apple went bankrupt they tried to make a good product for Paul McCartney called ?Michael Jackson? which would steal his files and not give them back because Howard Stern smuggled crack cocaine to Moncton to visit the new Microsoft dump of bad software, which had long overflowed and now threatened to overrun the world. Since webgraph was 100,000,000,000 light years away from Earth (and 3nd3r was also 100,000,000,000 light years away from Earth eating Cheetohs and watching cheap pornos with Bill Gates and Silvergold), at Pam Anderson's house while transvestite Tommy Lee gave Pam hepatits C, Marisu found the cure for cancer, so Heinrich-X was ran over by Toonces, the cat that could drive a car, but Toonces was drunk and it hit him so bad that 3nd3r appeared sober with a bottle of gin in his hand and a box of condoms XP on top of her nipples covered in cream and a heatsink covered in spermicide, with a toothbrush retracting out of the nipples of a fine Chinese pug which of German hugendoffs. Tandori chicken with curry or was that curdled possibly t-bone steak? A monster came and destroyed the Earth, killing everyone on it, including everyone in this story and the monster itself. But a man dressed in a frock came and called upon thousands of fish to transwarp the Earth from an alternate dimensional plain to the regular one. www..com appeared on www.f***edcompany.com then becam Sun Inferiosystems. Pyro and Bill Gates? body, along with eating some haggis flavoured spermicide and condoms, every once in a while, make great balloon giraffes with strawberry flavour legs and raspberry heads but don't forget the giraffes anatomy is indeed very complicated. Gill Bates and Jeeve Stobs knew that a monkey would eat its genitalia along with Cave Stese's and Ellirry Lason's pet parrot called Beve Sallmer

who looked like himself again when he founded Apple, after he found that there was a world outside his programming room so he began walking around in "The real World" until he got lost and he lost and became thinner until he went to see Eddie Izzard who was wearing a pink suit with pictures of knobs on it.

The martians landed in a gay bar where Neowin staff hang out and often check out mms://multimidia.uol.com.br/dcampncdt because it contained pictures of naked men but just then their computer exploded so the Neowin staff went to look for something else to do which was to play with Osiris's mom j/k, Serious Sam 2, which crashed because of its poor gameplay on DOS then Neowin went and kicked Bill Gates and tried to kill him but then out jumped Ronald McDonald who then started singing "I'm a Scatman". Neobond and Osiris then pulled out their light sabers and slipped it in to their you know where and got a real buzz because they forgot to use some turtle wax condoms with Marisu's mum and dad when all of a sudden the warp core exploded and they turned into a district attorney's house. Everyone knew that my bush and system of a down played the background music along with the band Sevendust who own all except for the almighty Michael Jackson who bums money off of the plastic surgeon, who made his face, and made him look like Bill Gates on a good day. The ?new Bill Gates? decided to go to Mariusu?s house and beat Wog Boy at Counter Strike and then he opened his own software company called ?Cakes & Snonts? which went bankrupt when a blind mute, with an invented penis, had his pink lollypop taken away but just then he met a spice girl, from the planet Venus, who he asked her to stop this thread but she refused to and said she came to Earth to show him Uranus and not to stop threads unless they used a term that rhymes with ?shmibrator? in their ?make him invincible from all anuses and destroy the people who are against it. When suddenly from out of the blue appeared a little mouse with a driving licence and a slingshot that made the little pink good Lord!

Meanwhile silvergold farted crude oil so he became really rich; then he bought Microsoft, AMD and Intel but that wasn?t enough because he really wanted Bill in bed under the tress in his garden, where the Linux users dwell, scampering in the dark fearful of Windows users then all of a sudden, like a shot out of the dark, wires of the first iMAC and all of the Linux users then turned into 200 metre high demons. Then Silvergold said ?Did someone call Bill Gates ?The Linux Slayer??

The slayer arrived at the scene, but was thrown into space as a giant BASH shell and smashed at the ground under his feet and destroyed his shoes which were made out of wool. The wool began to transmute into sheep, a mutant sheep in fact with wings, laser cannons and a double chin filled with grade A 100% all couch potato fat which oozed from every orifice and searched for the ?.NET? CD which was in the deep space of Neobond's skull who bowed down to Cornholio's bunghole and exploded. Meanwhile Lesuire Suit Larry drunk 30 litres of sulphuric acid and 40 litres of coca-cola and pepsi so he spoke funny like George Bush. Then he was dubbed..um...ya and he also walked like Michael Jackson who stood in front of a really hot fire and said,?It doesn?t matter if your black or white woa!? and then exploded, her corpse shattering into a billion fragments and flying off across the world. However, Michael Jackson is (as we all know) "INVINCIBLE"! Unfortunately "Ben" wasn?t so lucky and he was hurt so badly that he bought a bumper pack of alcohol to rub into the wounds but it wasn?t actually alcohol, it was the content's of somebody's body and the heart of a monkey but just then a homeless guy walked past and wanted the (what he thought was) alcohol to make his world a better place and the moon smashed into the Earth, which didn?t do much because the moon is so small compared to my mother's ultra big car which is bigger than the earth and, from an ants perspective, bigger than the universe, from a birds perspective, twice as big as the universe (when taking into consideration the redox reaction under equivalent pressure which is applied when talking about aliens and such). Meanwhile, back at the lab, the moderators were having a bad time because Keldyn kept downloading pornographic images and making a mess in his pants. Then Aafuss came along and advertised his crappy copy owhich nobody wanted...y for $499.99 US which nobody wanted...

    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried by Paul Hill There is no shortage of messaging apps out there; we have WhatsApp, Messenger, and Telegram, just to name a few. While Meta has taken steps to incorporate encryption into Messenger and WhatsApp, they still leave a lot to be desired. If you are in the market for a messaging app that promotes security, privacy, and optional anonymity, you'll want to read what I have to say about Delta Chat. For those not familiar with Delta Chat, rather than relying on centralized servers as you do with Facebook Messenger, it relies on email. Essentially, it is a chat interface that feels like a messaging app, but secretly in the background, it is firing off emails. In the past, you used to have to sign in with your email account. When you sent messages to people, it would just be sending encrypted messages to their inbox, which their Delta Chat client would decrypt. When I first learned about Delta Chat, it required users to sign in with an email account, but I was pleasantly surprised upon trying it in 2026 that this is no longer a requirement, or the preferred method was to use the app. Recently, I’ve tried UAD-ng on my old Nokia 3.4 to disable most of the Google apps because the bootloader is locked, and this is the next best option. While finding replacement apps in F-Droid, I came across Delta Chat again, and it has undergone quite a big change since I last used it, with its new chatmail relays, which no longer require you to sign in to your own email account, providing anonymity, and they offer greater security. Android and Desktop Delta Chat apps. Not only does it run on my de-googled phone, but it also works on desktop computers and iOS, making it truly ubiquitous. For me, Delta Chat is a wonderful alternative messenger because it gives you more control. It supports switching between different profiles, which you can set up super quickly; you don’t register a username, you don’t register a password. The only thing you do have is a random string email address on a chatmail relay (which you don’t have to memorize). To maintain access to your profile, you just need to add a second device to your account via QR code or make a backup of your account, which you can restore later. Fail to do these, your account is gone - as it should be if you don’t want to leave accounts that could get hacked later on. My decision to block Google stuff on my Nokia was done for practical reasons; the device sucked when it launched, and it sucks even more now. The nice thing about F-Droid and the apps within is that they’re usually lightweight, free of bloat, and work well on that device. What was inconvenient for me was that it was hard to send messages from that device, say if I wanted to copy a code over to my main phone or send family members a link from that device. That’s when I decided to look at the available chat apps and saw Delta Chat. Another nice thing about Delta Chat is its notifications. Some messaging apps rely on Google’s ecosystem for notification transport on Android; however, with Delta Chat, it can use Google’s solutions if you have Play Services or MicroG installed. Otherwise, it is able to keep a background connection to the chatmail relay server so that you can get notified when you receive a message. As free software, the code of Delta Chat is open for all who want to take it and build upon it. In the future, if the developers of Delta Chat make a catastrophically bad decision and take the app in an undesirable direction, users can take the code and fork the project. This contrasts with closed-source apps from corporations that can take their products in any direction they like. By relying on free software instead of closed-source programs, you actually control your computing. I’ve spoken at length about how running this type of software is like owning your own home rather than renting it. The same applies here; if you use Delta Chat, you don’t need to worry about it going away in the future. Whether it is Telegram, WhatsApp, or Messenger, you are required to register a username and password to use these services. A major flaw in this design is that anyone can try various passwords and potentially break into your account with your complete chat history intact. Sure, there is encryption in Messenger, where you need a second PIN and two-factor authentication in Telegram, but breaches happen all the time. Unlike before, when you used to sign in to your email account to send and receive messages, the primary way to do it now is to create an account on a chatmail relay. The resulting email address is a random string followed by the name of the relay you pick. This means you can start and begin adding contacts Without a username and password, you either need to ensure you have a backup or at least one device running your Delta Chat profile. The primary way to log in on another device is to go to the settings and add a second device. Then, you’ll just scan a QR code with your new device, and it’ll log in to your account and sync all your chat history and contacts. To end users, Delta Chat just looks like any instant messenger; however, it is really sending your messages as encrypted emails to your contact. This is pretty cool from a censorship perspective, as it makes the service more difficult to block. Previously, the main way to use the app was by logging in with email, but nowadays, it’s recommended that you use chatmail relays. Chatmail relays temporarily hold messages in case your device is offline. They are cheap, simple servers that don’t store data as group states. Other information, like your name and avatar, only exists on your device and the devices of those you share your contact information with. The relays are also decentralized and operated by various groups and individuals. It is even possible to set up your own chatmail relay, but most people will want to use one hosted elsewhere. To keep your messages secure, Delta Chat uses a secure subset of the OpenPGP standard that gives you automatic end-to-end encryption. It also uses Secure-Join to exchange encryption setup information through QR-code scanning or invite links. Autocrypt is also used to automatically establish end-to-end encryption between contacts and all members of group chat, but sometime this year Autocrypt v2 will be rolled out, bringing post-quantum resistant encryption and forward secrecy. The Delta Chat FAQ is an interesting read that explains many more details about the app. Credit: Pexels Delta Chat is unique among messaging apps because it is built on email, a technology that’s decades old and isn’t going anywhere soon. What’s more is that email is not centralized either, so it’s far more difficult for any authoritarian regime to disrupt the Delta Chat app. I haven’t spoken too much about features yet, so I will do that now. Delta Chat allows you to do one-on-one chats, group chats, and create channels. It also supports file sharing and making audio and video calls when chatting one-to-one, but it’s not available for group chats right now. At the time of writing, the calling functionality is disabled and can be enabled in Settings > Advanced > Debug Calls. I have used the video calling feature, and the quality is excellent. It works over WebRTC, another open standard. The app also lets you send voice notes, enables disappearing messages, and has its own app ecosystem. I did try playing chess one time there, but it was a bit spotty; though, we did manage to complete the game with a victory for me. To add people to Delta Chat, you can either give them your Delta Chat link or your QR code to scan. These are the only ways to add users, so you won't have any spam bots bothering you. If the people you want to chat with don't have the app yet, just send them your link, and it will take them to a webpage where they can install the app and then add you. It's really quick for them to install it and get started, which is nice. Credit: Microsoft. The Majorana 2 quantum chip unveiled in 2026. I do not think quantum computers are too far out now, and I do hope that Delta Chat is able to push out Autocrypt v2 sooner, rather than later, so bad actors do not attempt to collect encrypted communications and then decrypt them in the future using quantum computers. By getting people’s messages post-quantum-safe now, users won’t have to worry when quantum computers start cracking legacy encryption. Overall, I would recommend this app to people who are already past WhatsApp and Messenger and have perhaps begun using apps like Telegram or Session. It shares a lot of characteristics with these apps and goes a lot further than Telegram in terms of security. By being based on email, it is also resistant to censorship, and the lack of a username and password makes you anonymous (if you want to be) and safe from brute force password cracking attempts. Let me know in the comments if you’ve tried Delta Chat recently. Do you think it's a good bulwark against governments that are tightening their grip on the internet?
