XZ Hack - "If this timeline is correct, it’s not the modus operandi of a hobbyist. [...] It wouldn’t be surprising if it was paid for by a state actor."

  • Jia Tan is most definitely not a person, just the publicly facing account of a group of people.

  • What is the trail of crumbs? Just some random email accounts?

    This was in a big part a social engineering attack, so you can't really avoid contact.

  • Have you thought about e-ink readers? There are ones you can write/draw with, and since I got mine I completely skip paper!

  • Those companies do, and they maliciously manipulate them for their own profit. This is not on people, this is on toothless regulation.

  • Caring about the technology of an app more than about its privacy is really strange to me, but you do you.

    • ‘Even stronger’ than imagined: DOJ’s sweeping Apple lawsuit draws expert praise

    Jump

  • If you had any idea about how it works, you would not compare them. If you had any idea about how hard Apple makes security research, especially without a Mac, you would not compare them.

    But you don't know what it's about. Being a consumer does not make you an expert.

    • Alternative to Nova Launcher

    Jump

  • I love the pixel launcher but hate that you can't disable the internet connection of the Google widget. That means that Google tracks every single app you search and I can't stand that. So I'm using the buggy and apparently just as outrageous Nova :/

  • The Viking and Technical Museums in Stockholm are 100% worth a visit. I don't remember them being free though.

    Also: Skansen.

  • Ars Electronica in Linz, Austria. It hosts exhibitions about technology and humans and I was completely blown away.

    Also they have a large 3D room where you get shown around our galaxy... That put me into an existential crisis for a few days.

  • You can't compare those two. First of all, Apple's walled garden makes it significantly harder to perform security research. Second, Android has a way larger ecosystem and is not a monolith, so of course there's gonna be more.

    Apple = Apple, but Android ≠ Android.

    • The National Court orders to block Telegram in Spain

    Jump

  • You can collaborate on WhatsApp or Signal as well, both messengers are using the end-to-end encrypted Signal protocol. Even in group chats. Telegram is not E2EE per default.

    Of course, with WhatsApp Meta collects all your metadata so they have a very detailed network of basically all the people in this world... At least without all their messages.

  • Messages are only end-to-end encrypted if you use the Secure Messaging option. Otherwise everything passes the server in cleartext.

    That means that anyone with access to those servers can read your messages.
