Whether or not a default configuration is vulnerable is a pretty typical component of accessing a vulnerability’s severity. Unfortunate that the author didn’t mention this. Obviously this doesn’t excuse the bug, but it’s important to contex

You don’t think you should be able to report being harassed or spammed?

No, that’s not how it works. If I have received a message I can report that message.

1:1 conversations continue to be e2e and will forever be (allegedly). Communicating with a business will not be e2e, per their new TOS. Simple “Privacy nutrition labels”, like apple recently introduced in the App Store are a neat idea, but

A convenient easy to use app that I can use to talk to my mom and my coworkers - all encrypted all the time would go a long way.

> The idea is that if lots of people add suspicious words to their messages, the agencies will get so busy with spurious input that they will have to give up reading it all. Wow - so quaint!

By “Specifically targets M1 chips” it seems they mean: the malware distributors compiled their old botnet code again but with a new version of Xcode.

Also note webgl 2.0 is not enabled by default on safari (includes any iOS browser). There is an option to enable buried in the settings, but it’s not recommended to leave it on. So it’s not really an option if you’re targeting ios.

I was only sort of being sarcastic. I also remember the switch to KDE 4.0 very clearly. Here’s my entry into the annals of KDE 4.0 Plasma Desktop Release circa 2008: It basically worked for me. I was a sysadmin, so abused my authority at wo

It’s amazing the trauma that can be carried. If you have children, and they have children, I hope that those grandchildren of yours grow up hearing stories about what a travesty the roll out of KDE 4.0 PLASMA Desktop was.

I’m right there with you, but it can’t be “usability” oversight, can it? It’s so bad. I have to assume it’s a very deliberate effort based on some business metric that the risk of losing people from the site is less than the profit gained

The huge cast of characters was definitely a challenge for me as well. But I wonder sometimes if it’s more a cultural difference than simply some kind of “failure” on the authors part. Have you seen those videos where old communist leaders

Go figure... I actually like that the terminal has its classic Ctrl+ characters unimpeded by the GUI layer, which has its own namespace behind Cmd+ How do you copy text out of your virtual terminal? The Fn key placement on the other hand...

Right - the bulk of the article is about how the “cool factor” of scarcity and variable rewards induce a demand greater than what might be there if they were simply wide open.

Yes it’s invite only. Yes that is a strategy to draw in users, potentially more effectively than being wide open. It’s in the article.

it’s hard for me to read something like this and believe you aren’t being deliberately misleading. All this stuff is only stored in an encrypted form that signal never has the keys for.

Edited my response to be less sarcastic. But honestly it’s hard for me to read something like this and believe you aren’t being deliberately misleading. All this stuff is only stored in an encrypted form that signal never has the keys for.

Sounds like a bug. You could contact support@signal.org. I imagine they’d be interested.

That’s a neat trick, but “Works for me” is not a solution for mass surveillance.

For most people it’s not reasonable to use WhatsApp without sharing your contact list. How do you know who you can message with it if the app can’t check who has it? Do you, every time you want to message someone, manually copy in their num
