Guaranteeing “access” is functionally meaningless. You already have “access” to healthcare in the U.S., it just comes with all the fleecing and abuse unto death that we have under the status quo. When you argue for “access,” that’s precisel

“Access” in this context is just a weasel-word cooked up by hospitals and insurance companies to protect their bottom lines. Almost every other wealthy, developed country guarantees healthcare itself, not the right to get surprise billed or

Right, but the supposition is that such exploits are the source of mass delusions. There are plenty of people who think COVID is a hoax who didn’t arrive at that kind of thinking because of foreign intelligence operations. It’s regurgitated

I haven’t used either. I’ve heard a fair amount of complaints about the build quality on System76s.

Yes, that's correct.

Malware can be embedded in just about anything. PDFs and other documents are a common vector. While scripts and executables are obviously a greater risk, it’s pretty easy to mask malware as those files as well.

by claudeganon 6y ago
Pretty much any file you could open on your computer can be used to install malware (given the right conditions). It’s not limited to applications. And that malware can now hijack these services that bypass firewalls, VPNs, etc undetected.

The former. For it to be the latter, Apple or FBI would have to explicitly state as much.

That Reuter's piece is original reporting that Apple never responded to, so I would say that it's all but confirmed that they did in fact do this at the FBI's request.

In the Vault 7 leaks, Little Snitch was mentioned as something three letter people had problems with circumventing. I think it's worth considering whether this new attack surface is there by design: https://blog.obdev.at&#x2

Office suite automation with Python would be great across the board. The external python libraries that do this are pretty clunky and VB scripting is a hot mess.

This is where I’m at too. Compromising Little Snitch and VPNs is just a bridge too far. It’s cool that they got this level of performance in a lightweight form factor, less so when it enables the worse of surveillance practices.
