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.

Unfortunately not, the main reason the majority of people use gmail is that they don’t even know there are other email providers.

If a military attack is not negotiated away as I mentioned.

Would it defend every state? Or would the big countries make concessions to avoid a military conflict? With or without a veto right.

By the way EU already had a mutual defense pact. A single military would increase effectiveness but remove member’s state ability to defend themselves.

Yes, I specified which cover since it’s certainly been covered by more people.
