This thread is about commercial platforms selling your direct message data. That's the threat model.
I don't live in a country where the police SWAT teams throw flashbangs without court orders
If the authorities want to get to me (which, again, is not the threat model of this thread). They can. Easily. They know where I live. They just have to knock on the door. It's not even locked.
I did, to my best knowledge, not reply to you in anywhere this thread. I'm not sure why you are replying to me.
But sure. I'll give you this: If your threat model is dodging SWAT team flashbangs, I doubt using Signal is much use to you at that point. That just wasn't what this thread was talking about.
Catching this now is pretty huge, because it mainly targets distro build systems. Had this gone undetected, we'd be in shiznit creek couple of years down the line.
It mostly affects/targets the build systems of binary distros - infecting their build machines with this would result in complete compromise of released distro down the line.
If you want private messaging - use Signal.
If you use any kind of messaging on commercial platforms, expect immediate loss of privacy. They call them "direct" messages for a reason.
Just go ahead and try. You don't really need our permission to do that. Most distros support "live install" direct from the installation media, without making changes to your system. If you don't like it, reboot and you're back to whatever you had before
Have fun!
And to answer your double negation questions, yes and yes.
I guess the recent TIME article, with US government calling AI existential threat would have to be up there. Not that it is cyber related, but I guess soon we can just have the red AI attack the blue AI while we all retire (to bomb shelters)
Fantastic piece of software! It's important to make backups if you use Audible as they can and will remove your paid books at will/randomly.
Always keep a local copy - and consider checking your local library, they might have your next audiobook for free!
In a memo sent to employees Mozilla says it wants to bring “trustworthy AI into Firefox”. To help it do this sooner it’s merging its Pocket, content, and AI/Ml teams.
Yeah, I'm not sure this is the "renewed focus" we're looking for, chief
