Arch on PC, eOS on mobile.

Þat’s even more stupid þan I þought it was.

Stupid and preposterously imperialistic.

The term customer is used in regards to the ISP who are supposed to track traffic. For the servers it refers to users, not customers. There does not seem to be any differentiation with regards to the type of data, so yes even CSS or plain text would count (though they obviously would be too small of a quantity to matter).

The US originally also charged per minute for dial-up connections. Dial-up after all was making phone calls (even on ISDN).

They did get flat fee models while still in dial-up probably due to earlier adoption thus earlier competition than in EU countries.

Yeah fuck off. We never joined a state, so spare the democracy bullshit.

Germany arguing for strength over legitimacy should raise some feathers.

It also sends the prompt to MS servers despite generating the image locally and automatically ‘analyzes’ it, probably for bad™ stuff.

Well you must have excellent communication skills.

For the actual IT stuff, they don’t really care.

Which functionality is that?

Arch really is the “Linux” of Linux users, complete with non users making shit up about it.

Sure a dumb phone won’t record for Google. Current ones don’t and probably can’t be made to.

But recording would be trivial to implement even on a dumb phone if it becomes acceptable to the majority. Hell it could become a legal requirement.

We cannot run away from these issues by using old phones, old vehicles, ‘physical’ media etc. Eventually they will be unavailable. Some, old vehicles, really should be for other reasons.

Or as others have pointed out, you might not be recorded by your phone but you will be by the others’.

We need to persuade more people to actively oppose such measures outright. Defend privacy, control of our devices etc explicitly.

Obviously protecting children must always be a priority

No it really doesn’t have to always be. Protecting children should be balanced against harm to the rest of society. The vast majority of children will thankfully go on to live far more as non-children.

Nope he is 100% a product of the United States of America and it’s ideology. East Germany, Russia, China have nothing to do with it.

No. Harambe was killed because a child fell into his enclosure. That child was black. Racists cake out in droves practically arguing that the ape’s life was worth more than the child’s.

The tweet is acknowledgment of that. The ‘patriotic’ moniker only makes sense for someone who believes black people are the enemy.

There are some bottle manufacturers who trying to skip on costs, make the attachment so short it’s difficult to securely close them so they don’t leak.

I just snap them off and close them but its more difficult for older persons, especially women.

Certainly they have not at all stopped misinforming people. There are also still elements that promote hatred.

Yeah but at least that organization has not ever instigated a war, right?

If you actually read his github you would know that there is a different version of the responsible component between the recovery environment and an installation. Only the RE has the issue.

I’ve read the XZ vulnerability. The very same thing can happen in a closed source corporate project. There are many arrests of foreign intelligence agents that worked in big tech amd/government. It would of course be easier to cover up. As would vulnerabilities discovered by ai, since they can limit who can check their code.

Were they the developers of the ssh package? Microsoft is the developer of the vulnerable bitlocker package and the ones who chose to ship it.

I am employed, most employers are obviously not as corrupt as the biggest corporations on the planet, they simply can’t afford to.

I agree we can’t know. We can know for FOSS software. You are treating uknownable as being less than the known bugs in Foss software. That’s dishonest, lad.

What are the indications that the BitLocker vulnerability is already being utilized?

Microsoft shipping a vulnerable version of the recovery environment. It is the ‘exploit’.

Alleged by a guy who was fired from Microsoft. I’d take that with a pinch of salt.

Such is the nature of closed source software. You select people who will remain complicit till they have a grievance against you. Even if they don’t and talked for moral reasons do you think they would not been fired for it?

That being said, open source repos are being attacked constantly with attempts at intentional malicious code injection - I’m sure you’ve heard of XZ Utils? How many others went through and are being exploited without anyone noticing?

Who knows. How many more went through at closed source software a limited amount of people can test in the same way?

They will be patched. There is also no indication that they 'be been known and exploited till recently.

This was allegedly deliberately non patched to be exploited.

Getting a system without bugs and security issues is impossible, you can at least avoid intentional compromise.
