That's a bit far, isn't it?

Let's see what the article actually says...

"So what did you do with the $100,000?"

"I invested it and turned it into sixteen THOUSAND dollars. "

open source has run for thirty years on a basis the textbook says cannot hold. It looks more like several arrangements overlaid on each other, part gift economy, part shared infrastructure, part public archive, part reputation system, with no single mechanism carrying it.

If this kind of shit had been scribbled in the margins of my economics textbook, I would've paid more attention in class.

But the AI can!

I believe other people should have opinions for me.

is a whole new sentence compared to the quote in the picture.

I don't even need to know who the person is to call that out.

What makes a movement "vanguardist"?

So I can make sure I'm on the inside avoid it.

I've seen this guy around the internet enough that, if you told me he had his own miniseries with an original soundtrack, I'd believe you.

Signal CEO Whittaker said that in the worst case scenario, they would work with partners and the community to see if they could find ways to circumvent these rules. Signal also did this when the app was blocked in Russia or Iran. "But ultimately, we would leave the market before we had to comply with dangerous laws like these."

This is why we need the ability to sideload apps.

For the most part, it's believed that carmakers are doing way with Android Auto support simply as a way to expand their control over user data. Because Android Auto utilizes your phone's connection, all of the data that runs through it goes straight to Android and the phone manufacturer. So, by utilizing built-in systems, the car manufacturers would indeed be able to collect more data about how you use the systems in place, while also possibly getting more money out of you through subscriptions.

You are unfortunately correct.

“You know we have cameras in that town. You can’t get a breath of fresh air in or out of that place without us knowing,” Milliman said to Elser, according to Ring doorbell footage of the Sept. 27 encounter viewed by The Colorado Sun.

And he saw nothing wrong with that.

So this, but Discord.

In case you, like me, were wondering wtf stingrays are (besides a type of fish). This is from their report :

Cell-site simulators, also known as "Stingrays" or IMSI catchers, are devices that masquerade as legitimate cell-phone towers, tricking phones within a certain radius into connecting to the device rather than a tower. 

Cell-site simulators operate by conducting a general search of all cell phones within the device’s radius, in violation of basic constitutional protections. Law enforcement use cell-site simulators to pinpoint the location of phones with greater accuracy than phone companies. Cell-site simulators can also log IMSI numbers (unique identifying numbers) of all of the mobile devices within a given area.

...

The fact that government agencies are using these devices without the utmost consideration for the privacy and rights of individuals around them is alarming but not surprising. The federal government, and in particular agencies like HSI and ICE, have a dubious and troubling relationship with overbroad collection of private data on individuals.

Depending on where you look, Grindr CEO George Arison's net worth is $20–80 million.

He joins a growing list of gay executives hell-bent on proving that enshittification isn't just for the straights.

what are you even supposed to do?

Easy. Break it up into separate articles.

Good deal for him. He ponied up $0 of his own money.

I will always side against the multi-billion dollar corporation.

You have things like the EuroStack, which is Europe’s response to the explicit merger of American tech with American state policy. Frankly, I think that’s much better than taxing or regulating American tech. Just sideline it. Make it irrelevant. Don’t try and fix it. I mean, American tech is irredeemable. Just make it part of the scrap heap of history.

I like this option.

TL;dr of the article :

1. They keep your private key on their servers.
2. Their implementation allows for AITM attacks.
3. It's closed source.
4. There's no perfect forward secrecy.

This secret stays between you, me, and Elon.

I hope politicians use the hell out of it, so we can see what they really think when it gets (inevitably) hacked in a few weeks.

New punishments for hacking politicians' phones.

Zero changes for anyone else.
