Obviously protecting children must always be a priority
No it really doesn’t have to always be. Protecting children should be balanced against harm to the rest of society. The vast majority of children will thankfully go on to live far more as non-children.
Nope he is 100% a product of the United States of America and it’s ideology. East Germany, Russia, China have nothing to do with it.
Certainly they have not at all stopped misinforming people. There are also still elements that promote hatred.
Yeah but at least that organization has not ever instigated a war, right?
If you actually read his github you would know that there is a different version of the responsible component between the recovery environment and an installation. Only the RE has the issue.
I’ve read the XZ vulnerability. The very same thing can happen in a closed source corporate project. There are many arrests of foreign intelligence agents that worked in big tech amd/government. It would of course be easier to cover up. As would vulnerabilities discovered by ai, since they can limit who can check their code.
Were they the developers of the ssh package? Microsoft is the developer of the vulnerable bitlocker package and the ones who chose to ship it.
I am employed, most employers are obviously not as corrupt as the biggest corporations on the planet, they simply can’t afford to.
I agree we can’t know. We can know for FOSS software. You are treating uknownable as being less than the known bugs in Foss software. That’s dishonest, lad.
What are the indications that the BitLocker vulnerability is already being utilized?
Microsoft shipping a vulnerable version of the recovery environment. It is the ‘exploit’.
Alleged by a guy who was fired from Microsoft. I’d take that with a pinch of salt.
Such is the nature of closed source software. You select people who will remain complicit till they have a grievance against you. Even if they don’t and talked for moral reasons do you think they would not been fired for it?
That being said, open source repos are being attacked constantly with attempts at intentional malicious code injection - I’m sure you’ve heard of XZ Utils? How many others went through and are being exploited without anyone noticing?
Who knows. How many more went through at closed source software a limited amount of people can test in the same way?
They will be patched. There is also no indication that they 'be been known and exploited till recently.
This was allegedly deliberately non patched to be exploited.
Getting a system without bugs and security issues is impossible, you can at least avoid intentional compromise.
Unfortunately not, the main reason the majority of people use gmail is that they don’t even know there are other email providers.
I think it was accepted in systemd. There was no commit in the kernel because such things are really don’t belong in the kernel.
But the law it was a response too is horrible. If any ‘app’, regardless of it including any unsafe content (or content at all really) must ask for this information from the OS. Otherwise the developer and/or controller (which can be whoever installed the app) is liable for thousands of dollars.
This only makes sense if you think the only ‘apps’ that exist are ones written by FAANG.
Which move are you referring to? Because most of them include far more than that.
It’s not the new name but an alternative. I guess it will have to fit where GIMP does, so it’s better to have the same amount of letters.
Glimpse is already taken by an abandoned fork that simply changed the name.
ΟΥ in Greek makes sounds like oo as in look,wood etc. It does not lead with a γ sound that would make Uranus sound naughty.
Of course it should also end in -os as -us is a Latin ending.
Treasonous bought cunts.
I think it’s on Google Play services so you need a rom with microG services.
Whether AI can reliably detect issues and generate working code is a whole different thing from CEO’s delusions and hyperbole to game the market. Their financial success is also irrelevant, in fact it’s better if the sub/token model fails and we are left with locally ran models.
One of the key pieces of evidence the New Mexico attorney general used against Meta was the company’s 2023 decision to add end-to-end encryption to Facebook Messenger. The argument went like this: predators used Messenger to groom minors and exchange child sexual abuse material. By encrypting those messages, Meta made it harder for law enforcement to access evidence of those crimes. Therefore, the encryption was a design choice that enabled harm.
The state is now seeking court-mandated changes including “protecting minors from encrypted communications that shield bad actors.”
I don’t see any of the people celebrating this decision discussing this? Perhaps it’s a misrepresentation by the author since I can’t find the actual decision text.
This is going to harm small non-corporate websites, not just social media, far more than Facebook or Tiktok. Harmful content is also going to include stuff like LGBTQ, especially anything trans related, and ‘antisemitism’ (but probably not antisemitism.)
Without verification by Google. I am very much capable of verifying the origin and trustworthiness of the apps I install.
Sure a dumb phone won’t record for Google. Current ones don’t and probably can’t be made to.
But recording would be trivial to implement even on a dumb phone if it becomes acceptable to the majority. Hell it could become a legal requirement.
We cannot run away from these issues by using old phones, old vehicles, ‘physical’ media etc. Eventually they will be unavailable. Some, old vehicles, really should be for other reasons.
Or as others have pointed out, you might not be recorded by your phone but you will be by the others’.
We need to persuade more people to actively oppose such measures outright. Defend privacy, control of our devices etc explicitly.
