How can you report content on the platform without visiting the site? Are you using Dataminr or some other tool used by government agencies?

I am suspect of how they measure usage. When many of us use Firefox forks or configurations that leave as little fingerprints as possible through a VPN, we are intentionally not identified as unique visitors. If this is the case, these resu

Thank you for the thought out explanation to a complex topic important for us to understand. You recognize impact to exchange rates when one currency is in more demand than another. If this causes an increase in exports sold in the devalued

Simply enter the exact same search terms for any controversial issue into both Google and Yandex.com to compare the results. It could be about Ukraine war, covid died suddenly, or Gaza. Try 'Google CIA'.

They were long reads, but thank you. They generally cover history and speculation on BRICS, but we will need to see how it works out. I have seen their meetings and open statements about intent to diversify away from the dollar for trade as

I love Firefox and this feature, but I need to hop between several devices and browsers for different purposes. I keep all my passwords, tabs, and bookmarks synced to my Nextcloud server with some extensions. If a particular browser goes to

To clarify, I do not recommend relying on any single source. Multiple sources will broaden your perspective. You can look at Google and other NATO based search engines to see the results they want or don't want you to see, and then you

It is an intro to psyops. Google is an example of psyops. It is useful for finding uncontested information such as the address of a shop, but to find the truth about events in the world, you are better served elsewhere such as Yandex. I wis

A weak dollar is good if you own a company that relies on exports. For the rest of us who are paid in dollars and need to buy imports, a weaker dollar hurts. That is one opinion. We can already see China and Japan selling off their US bonds

It is true that Kaspersky by policy does not make attribution without concrete proof. It is the responsibility of intelligence agencies to make the call based on preponderance of evidence. The video linked above leads suspicion to a very fe

You make a good point that a team of mediocre engineers could be responsible for the vulnerabilities. Those doing code review and change control would also need to be mediocre. It could be a combination of compromised and mediocre coordinat

Power is more important than profit. Those running the national security apparatus have been in power for 60 years. The fact that they still haven't released the documents on the JFK assassination evidences that they are still in power

Germany's economy shrunk last year while Russia's grew. Dedollarization has accelerated which will impact the US not immediately but in near future.

Kaspersky only said they could not prove it. They did not make conclusion but laid out the evidence.

I am assuming or knowing that the national security apparatus can both coerce and incentivize companies and individuals to give it what it wants. Their power is great and relatively unchecked to do both. Coercion tactics include releasing c

but why pay hackers to try to find a backdoor when you can just walk in the front door and use the carrot and stick to get what you want?

However this one seems to have been coordinated with Apple. A nonprofit nonaligned independently managed project could be more immune to pressures of the national security apparatus. I think it is incredibly naïve to think that the largest

Who had motive to target Russian government officials, knowledge of the attack vectors, history of doing so, and technical and logistical ability to perform it leads Kaspersky and myself to the only rational conclusion: that Apple cooperate

I don't remember the name of the company that provided it, but it was a two foot pillar mounted camera at the register. I researched the company, but the cashier already told me it used facial recognition.

My local Rite Aid here in Marin County CA put this in some years ago. As soon as I noticed it, I yelled at the manager and told him neither I nor anyone in my family would be coming in there again. I also edited OSM.org to show the facial r

We live in a police state. We have the highest incarceration rate of any country. Many of the people in prison are political prisoners. Our national security apparatus is powerful and unaccountable. Congress just reauthorized 702 which allo

I hope for the best but plan for the worst. The government has a high bar to meet to earn my trust. Government has lied to me too many times. They need to find some way to prove this app is safe for my freedom. Until then, I will endure the

Don't Iphones have advertiser ID's available to apps?

by kornhole 3y ago
It is not speculation. I assume every app is hostile and trying to grab information until it can be proved that it does not. Until the app is open sourced and/or people do network analysis on it, this is the safest default assumption.

by kornhole 3y ago
I assume the app will attempt to tie my device identifiers such as IMEI, phone number, and advertiser ID to my government digital ID. Then they can tie it to other ID's such as Facebook or other app ID's on the device that also re

It is a cautious tale we can hopefully relate to people before they jump on Threads and get locked in. Unfortunately those of us off the platforms have difficulty getting through to people on the platforms. It is very easy to run an individ

Yes this ruling will increase the revenues for companies like this, Celebrite, the platforms, and data brokers. Unless of course it is my phone. ;)

Know how to disable it immediately. On Graphene and many Android phones, holding down the power button will reboot it with pin required to complete start up.

You have to go through all of this and give away your body's code to corps and governments just to learn maybe your grandparents were from some part of the world?

So what solutions do we have? I run unified push on my Nextcloud server with app on device called Nextpush. This is used by some apps I use. Some apps use web sockets, but I understand this is resource consumptive when constantly running in
