It’s really simple. Either you know its not encrypted or you don’t. Don’t make claims you can’t verify. OP doesn’t know that. You can assume, you can have an opinion, you can say whatever you want - none of it has weight or even meaning until you have something to show for it.

Your points on security are entirely true. The default should be distrust. That does not invite a witch hunt on every site you’ve never heard of making a claim. Had OP stated some key understanding they have and disclosed, then I wouldn’t even be commenting here. I would have scrolled right past and never thought about it again.

How kind of you to bring some of their arrogant, universal pedantry with you.

Where are the pedantics? Lol I’m getting shit on for being reasonable and pointing to the facts that no one in here knows and somehow that’s arrogant and pedantic. No sir, that’s exposing people for spreading incompetence and hysteria.

You don’t know the condition of that data or that backend. There is no pedantics there. A claim was made that can not be verified. There’s no pedantry there unless you’re upset that I want proof of claims rather than instant judgement. To be fair, I want proof of claims from that site before I would trust it either but I’m not gonna throw it into the pit just because it made a claim.

Or are you fine with people running around saying shit and spreading unverified claims they don’t know or understand?

Yeah I’m not clicking that. I don’t know what you intended to say here but it didn’t land.

Interesting statement given my inbox is blowing up. Who’s the asshole? Making a point and defending it is not the asshole behavior here lol that’s called discussion.

Lmao. When people dip to the low effort “retarded” insults because they can’t articulate an idea or have any meaningful insight into a conversation.

A riveting and compelling response. Look at your keanrinf to spell. Good job!

The claim here, yoeard the community is that the app is not encrypted or secured. The claim has no evidence or reasoning beyond “COME ON!” - Neither the app nor its developers came to this community and claimed to be anything. They out up a website where OP finds it and decides they’re lying based on zero technical data or testing. Just the kneejerk opinion of a random Lemmy account.

The surety is that they are not what they claim to be. Ok, then show it. You can’t just make claims you can’t substantiate and then argue when people ask questions. I don’t buy either claim because neither claim has demonstrable evidence.

People are arguing with me over pointing out the fact that this person does not know what they claim to be true. They belive it to be so. What have we learned from the religious right? Belief without evidence negates clarity in understanding.

I came to Lemmy to get away from the Reddit blowhards. It seems hysteria is the mode of discussion no matter the platform.

And what of the claims made in this post? Just blindly go with it?

The person who posted this is claiming they are not. How are people here this stupid? I thought people on Lemmy were the more intelligent bunch. I’m finding otherwise here.

Yes, claimant. It doesn’t have to be a court of law for a word to have a meaning. When a person makes a claim, they are a claimant. I’ve always understood this to be plain English. It’s exhausting when everyone wants to make pedantic arguments rather than discuss the topic. Are they encrypted or are they not? Let’s answer the question and then we can have a Socratic debate about it.

The burden of proof is on the claimant. In this case, the claim is that they are neither encrypted nor secure. The claim can be made from both sides but if neither provides proof then we’re all just tinfoil hats.

How do you know they aren’t?

Huh…I’ve always heard “giraffe pussy.” Lol I never thought about it the other way.

Did I not ask a question? I believe I asked what harm was being done. So, yes, I just asked a question.

Why in the hell would you build an operation that requires biblical levels of water in a drought prone area? It seems the harm being done is more incompetence than actual malice.

I mean the fact that you feel baited says a lot. All I did was ask a question. Damn you guys are feisty here.

How are you getting email across 25?

I mean you’ll say it out loud but you won’t articulate it? Sounds like you’re just parroting what you’ve heard and don’t actually know anything about the subject. That’s fair.

What’s the harm being done?

The point is people will pay for it. You may not. Maybe no one in this thread will. But most people will pay for easy.

They found a way to sell water to people in tiny little portions and people pay for it. People will pay for convenience that works.
