That’s why I take so many pictures, keep them forever and make them searchable.

The full translation of the clip of Gaël Duval provided by GrapheneOS:

There’s the attack surface, on that front we’re not security specialists here, so I couldn’t answer you precisely, but from the discussions I’ve had, it seems that everything we do reduces attack surface.

However, we don’t have a “hardened security” approach, we aren’t developing a phone for pedo(censored) so they can evade justice. So there aren’t difficult things to check if the memory is corrupted, really hardened security stuff that could clearly be useful for executives, in the secret service, or whatever.

That’s not our goal, our goal is to start from an observation: today our personal data is constantly being plundered and that wouldn’t be legal in real life with the mail or the telephone, we want to change that. So we are making you a product that changes that by default for anyone.

As a french speaker, I can attest that the translation is fairly accurate.

While I don’t agree with the characterisation Gaël Duval makes here, I believe the statement from GrapheneOS here:

Duval and his organizations have consistently taken a stance against protecting users from exploits. In this video, he once again claims protecting against exploits is for only useful pedophiles and spies.

Is a bit disingenuous. It sounds like they do make some efforts to secure their device, but it’s not their main focus. Theirs is to improve privacy first and foremost.

I would take anything GrapheneOS devs says with a grain of salt, as we all know that they have quite an adversarial relationship with… well… everyone. But especially other OS makers.

Gotcha! This comment has not been removed… Probably.

Of course they do. They are extremely impartial on the matter and I trust their judgment.

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:

• Stylish. A theming extension, I used to use this back in the day!
• Smarty. Some sort of coupon code thing like Honey
• Video Ad Blocker Plus for YouTube™
• Video Downloader PLUS
• Karma - Another coupon thing
• Audio editor online Audacity. Some sort of web-based Audacity clone?
• GIMP online - Same sort of thing as above with GIMP
• Ground News Bias Checker - To be fair it probably makes sense this one sends the URL you are visiting, as it’s purpose is to look up the bias of the publication you are looking at.

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…
