Don’t try to explain technology to them. It won’t work.

VPNs?

… ok good luck

… the whole point of solving those problems is to discover what we were missing in the process.

You can’t just “solve” one of these problems and say “see, all good.”

Signal does not use SMS.

The vulnerability they call out in the article is a phishing attack. A phishing attack requires the user’s input. There is no defense, no security, no techniques or technology to prevent you from handing the key to your safe to someone else.

Im going to go out on a limb here and suggest something that should be obvious - you don’t have to link devices

You just pointed something out there that I haven’t really considered. But its also the difference between abolitionists and reformists too- namely, abolition should be the goal, but don’t let that stop you from making reforms too.

Oh. Wow. I didn’t know that.

I need to look at my monitor then.

I have a 7900XTX, and I don’t actually know what it spits out

Huh. Well, I guess I didn’t notice this because I use display port still.

Wild.

A rabid fan of a message application? Just for trying to point out that if the police get your unlocked phone then they have compromised your messages?

IT DOESN’T ADVERTISE ITSELF AS A SECURE PLATFORM!!!

It says PRIVACY. If you are dancing ass naked inside your house but you have your windows open… guess what?

1. It NEVER advertises itself as such.

2. IIRC Signal DOES warn you about this, first when you make an account, and then when you try to save media files, and when you try to start a group chat. The others aren’t remotely secure anyway and I have no interest in attempting to defend them.

Its also a failure of the user’s access control and operating security.

Once a third party has access to the secure environment, that environment is and will always be compromised.

Interesting they highlight Signal again as though this is a vulnerability.

If someone else has access to a linked device… that’s you fucking up access controls.

RIP my BBoC. My ex got it in the divorce.

For being as bigoted as he was, he certainly took a huge load in his throat.

Seek cover.

I was literally told at work today by executives "If the AI bubble pops, it will be more like the automotive industry financial crisis. "

Wasnt that the one where Ford, GM and Chevrolet were deemed too big to fail?

Yes. You end up with a military dictatorship or rarely something better. Given the amount of military folk who love the idea behind Starship Troopers, i wouldn’t bet on the latter.

WELL

at least I have an EV now?

Safety from what Langley? What are the cameras keeping us safe from?
