people dislike how I genuinly not eat nutella or ketchup. They think I want to feel special and I think it's just that I dislike the taste.
Especially the hela curry gewürz ketchup fans are fanatics who act like I killed their prophet.
I DO like Volkswagen Gewürz Ketchup it's a bit spicy. Yeah I know I doxxed myself there's only one place where that's a cultural beacon

side note: it has been years since Iast used delta.chat
I assume it still uses Autocrypt with its TOFU and PGP.
tl;dr modern encryptions are safe and delta.chat uses modern encryptions

also (an argument which I personally don't like because I prefer encryption never to be broken) assume in 20 years the NSA will decrypt my message of today that I will meet friday with friends at the cinema will the infirmation even have any value? Information has a halflife and in 20 years I won't care that the NSA knows my seating for Furiosa.
Assuming hypothetical quantum computer breakthroughts that don't exist yet.
Assuming not using quantum mitigation which already exists

also, the mentioned attack doesn't really exist in the real world.
As mentioned above, quantum computers would be required to break RSA-based encryption and there are mitigations available for RSA as well as different algorithms which are not vulnerabe to the capabilities of quantum computers.
Many modern encryption standards like AES are unlikely to be broken even if all the energy and all the time of the universe is used to attempt to crack a single message

Delta Chat uses standard encryption technologies so every storage and reply also applies to every signal/telegram/whatsapp/imessage/discord/… message, https connection, vpn et cetera. It's not like delta chat has a unique vulnerability.
Different to other services it's quite resilient in that you can continue chatting in whatever way your mail server enables and you can use other autocrypt/pgp software too there's no vendor lock in it's all open
