So is it apparent that this backdoor was intentionally added by VIA for nefarious purposes? Or is there any other reasonable explanation for its existence?

A complete backup is solution that can be stored on my own encrypted servers and restored with a click of a button is really needed. I always dread the possibility of my GrapheneOS…

I agree that Matrix has a lot of problems, at least when used with the Element app, but I've found that voice calls are much better with Matrix compared to Signal over a flaky netw…

I didn't claim to be an expert in this particular area of security, but I have enough common sense to know that remote attestation is not "critical" for a corporate network. Perhap…

> Attestation is a critical security property for these environments. No it's not. Every corporate network to which I've connected worked just fine without it.

Why not just buy clothes that fit properly? I haven't tied a drawstring or used a belt in maybe 15 years, when I realized it was worth finding clothes that fit well. They're more c…

Part of me wants Chat Control to get passed so that there is more incentive for at least the tech literate to start using more decentralized messaging tools.

What's your definition of "abject poverty"? I find it hard to believe that half the US would meet the criteria for any reasonable definition.

After seeing the pictures, I assumed they were moving into the mass-market budget EV sedan market at a price 1/10th of that. $650k is a fine price for a Ferrari, but not one that l…

I'm surprised by Grok as well: https://grok.com/imagine/post/8d1eab88-737f-4d46-ba92-9b6502... Interesting that it does better at making the pelican peddle in the video generation …

That just helps them classify the type of traffic. They're not breaking the encryption to see the actual content.

I can easily pay for a VPN service with crypto anonymously. I can also use a VPN run by a company outside my country of residence and jurisdiction. Neither of those is possible wit…

You don't have to go back 30 years to see it. Just take a shared taxi in Sumatra. Most of the men and some women will be smoking. Inside the car. With the windows closed. Sitting n…

Sad to see how only the big monopolies are allowed to continue hosting user-generated content because of regulatory capture.

Bison are less selective eaters and tend to spread out more, so they're less damaging to grasslands than cattle. They also require less water, antibiotics, and general attention th…

When using the web interface for ChatGPT like this, is there any way to tell which model is actually being used?

I bet there are some people building cool things for narco cartels with similar parts..

Zoom works fine with Firefox on Android.

What's wrong with a Chinese owned company? As someone who has no plans to step foot in China, I'd much rather be spied on by the Chinese than the US or EU.

I don't think the EU wants FOSS phones. If anything they'll push regulations that make them illegal to own. They want backdoors for all of your communication.

There already is a means to keep children away from toxic content: parents (possibly with the help of locally run content blocking software).

Bubblewrap containers to keep all of my environments separate on my laptop works just fine without giving up control to Google.

Do you happen to know what model "Grok Expert" is currently using? Expert has consistently produced better results than 4.1 for me, so I'm curious if anything has changed with the …
