None of that counts for anything unless the technologies can be independently developed and controlled by individuals and networks of people
let commercial implementation and intent be as opaque as it wants provided people aren’t required to interact with it
it’s the anonymity that empowers people to say the absolute worst things.
humans behave badly when they perceive they have social license to do so. anonymity has little to do with it
your second paragraph makes you sound like Larry Ellison. all you’re arguing for is the extension of the capacity of corporations to constrain and coerce invidiual behaviour, which is gross
The 1.17.8 flatpak onward doesn’t even work. Every IFO I give it comes back with ‘can’t read lol’ - it used to work flawlessly for remuxes
IF YOU DIDN’T PHONE HOME I WOULDN’T NEED A PRIVACY POLICY
But it is secure. Secure against you the genpop end user from being able to keep secrets or pursue interests that may not align with the government’s interests
Look at salt typhoon. The fact that 3P actors can use the exploit/bdoor too only matters to Gov to the extent that those actors can threaten its own interests by using it. Aka fuck the end user
Turning the clear web into a wasteland of corp/gov service portals one investigation at a time
that’s the point, to secure itself against $enemy-nation the state will first secure itself against the citizenry, by having a way of compromising citizens security on demand
ultimately governnment only cares that IT can exploit the mechanism, not that other actors cannot do so via the same mechanism
strip away all the obfuscation layers (there are so many lol) and thats pretty much the extent of the thought process of natsec orgs. you’re the threat. its an utterly retarded mind virus thats infected them we can all agree, but from an individual’s standpoint we can only protest and hope to shame the policymakers into a constructive course of action
Rule of Acquisition #3: Never spend more on an acquisition than you have to
wouldn’t profilers simply track via the domain tld instead of the whole address…shopping1 at uniquedomain, bank2 at uniquedomain , etc
and in the case of aliasing, couldnt a domain provider tell where the aliases rout to and sell that info as a side earner?

A firearm isn’t worth much money in the scheme of things either its real worth is in publicly displaying it on your person, and having it loaded
So does MS know what I look like and have my age and phone no? presumably the tenant cloud is zero-knowledge from Redmond’s perspective
this is still objectionable
why does my employer presume it can commandeer my personal property? the only sound policy is to never let work stuff touch personal computers and vice versa. The workplace is like a gas, if you give it the empty space it will keep expanding to fill it
where the hell did my property rights go once one of my PCs got a radio?
I will never understand the fitness metrics craze…I don’t want my health maintenance to be more systematized than observing two or three core principles and letting the rest sort itself out
Can’t show you the old stuff, if we show you the old stuff you wont watch the new stuff
how shielded are enterprise accounts from the data harvest?
Look at what’s really happening though: the state is implicitly saying you can have free expression provided your reach is miniscule/ineffectual. The moment you get traction is the moment it will move to block use of your preferred platforms, or simply hard-/algorithmically ban you - it’s functionally identical to suppression of speech/association
They rely on the public’s credulity when they insist freedoms are intact because ‘only one website’ is verboten. It’s a dirty exploit. In reality, all platform denial should be protested
Says one of two things - either the guys opsec was comically sloppy and nailing him was free real estate, or getting this particular target was personal and thus the investigation got much more resources allocated than normal. Most LEO orgs (and prosecutors) just want to check the box that says YES we have successfully pwned 1 IP “criminal” in the past 1300 days, now let us continue harassing single mothers and busting drug labs in peace
Uncle Sam has ways of making other jurisdictions discover they have fux to give. Bulgaria is a good example from recent years. Other countries are better at containing him on the copyright question eg Australia, Canada, Netherlands, etc
Conflict? A good image is a good image regardless of its provenance. And yes 2020s era 4chan was pretty much glowboy central, one look at the top posts by country of origin said as much. It arguably wasn’t worth bothering with since 2015
