Whoever promised that?
Updated the description to clarify.
The economic incentive from Signals point of view is that it allows them to steal users. Its a lot easier to switch if you don’t have to drag 100% of people you know off a platform to remove their app.
Look up adversarial interoperability if you’re interested. It’s how Facebook got big in the first place.
As for Meta, the only thing they would gain is less scrutiny from regulators as Gatekeepers.
Let me guess:
It’s because all the money goes to billionaires.
Edit: Pretty much what it says. It’s more detailed than that but yeah. Labourers get less, more value is attributed to capital (buildings, land) and collected by the rich.
I mean, they’re right. It’s a very well explained problem and reasonable question.
I guess here the “funny” is that the researcher did not consider this when writing questions, but it’s not particularly surprising.
I don’t trust anything this government does. They always find a way to pick the worst choice for everyone but themselves and their rich backers.
Even if they never abuse these powers (unlikely, given their track record), what’s to stop the next government from abusing them?

The source for this article is another article, which tbh is a better article:
https://cybernews.com/security/global-data-leak-exposes-billion-records/
That article does not itself have a source link, but it does show some redacted sample data and a breakdown of what countries are affected.
I said something similar here about an election fraud detection system with 99.999% accuracy.
Is this actually targeted at the UK?
It’s a super American ad. Everyone sounds American, we don’t really have drive thru’s like this etc.
In terms of message it’s spot on for both the UK and US though. Especially prescient given the Flock stuff going on in the US right now.
EDIT: From the article, it sounds like this has been used in a few places, but the UK is the only one that has banned it. The reasoning behind the ban is laughable.
It looks like there’s a longer version available on the site, but it’s broken for me.
Why are ports being forwarded on a printer to the external internet?!
Given that only 22 noncitizens over the course of like 10 years (can’t remember the exact statistic) tried to vote, the way to get the best accuracy would be to just hard code the answer to “yes, they can vote”. Then you get over 99.99% accuracy.
Nextcloud isn’t really a direct equivalent to Google Photos. For that you want Immich.
Another interesting one. These extensions are all related:
I’ve gone through the list a bit and out of the most popular ones that spied on you, most were adblocks, coupon finders or AI Chatbots.
Some notable extensions:
Worth a read regardless.
Great work to the investigators here. I’m going to comb through this list a little. See what things stand out.
The point is that I’ve seen several comments on other posts about this vulnerability, and in the body of this one, saying that Notepad is bloated and terrible now.
I’m offering a counterpoint that this is not necessarily bloat. It’s debatable that this is the right tool to have this feature, but it can be a useful feature.
I’m fine with Markdown support, but I wish MS got the message about Copilot being unwanted. Not sure if they’ve added it to Notepad or not at this stage, but given all the places they’ve crammed it into I wouldn’t be surprised.
To be fair, markdown is a very cool standard.
While I don’t know if it really makes sense for Notepad to be anything other than a plain-text editor, there are better tools for that, supporting markdown is kind of nice.
This means you have support for it on fresh Windows installs, which could be good for virtual machines. That said, Markdown is intrinsically pretty readable without formatting anyway.
It’s a shame they flubbed the implementation though…
Or percentages

Of course. It’s not like I want this. I was out there messaging my MP when the UK law had just been pushed through and filling out the petitions. It didn’t help though.
You can send a message to Discord by leaving, but they won’t revert it for places where it’s legally required.
Of course they do. They are extremely impartial on the matter and I trust their judgment.
