My very cursory glance at the paper is that basically they are encrypting live calls. Basically they are doing what zoom has been doing since the pandemic.

I could believe that a man could build a suit using arc energy technology. And I could believe that man could use that energy to kill aliens from outer space.

But I could not believe that same man would ever use Oracle Cloud for his compute.

Literally made Iron Man unwatchable.

I wonder if these services are on small cloud providers. If so then they can just block their entire CIDR.

I wonder if they were to move to GPC if they would have better luck.

For a brief moment in history, they sure created a lot of shareholder value.

Their convoluted salary and options package was one of the driving reasons why I declined a job there.

When you look at the value proposition purely from a capitalistic standpoint, I get why scammers and black hats exist. I just wish they could point their weapons toward the 1% and pull something similar to a Mr. Robot and redistribute their wealth.

Fwiw there are a large number of people who volunteer their time and effort toward worthwhile projects. It’s just they don’t get rewarded anywhere near the level of benefit that they provide.

I don’t think it’s the heating up from milk that gets these people. It’s the mandate that it must be done.

Same with masks. They want the FrEeDoM to do whatever the fuck they want, even if it hurts someone else.

These are fucking kids. They are still learning what devices do and what their appropriate use is. If they are like me, they have probably already found ways to watch porn, monitor their crush’s computer, read their email, and get into their webcam.

It’s not lack of education.

It’s lack of impulse control.

Creative Commons-BY-NC would be better.

These are people writing laws about technology. They are absolute idiots.

For those who want to read the very awesome Wikipedia article.

On December 11, 1939, the U.S. Government sued the Ball Brothers, the Hazel-Atlas Glass Co., and the Owens-Illinois Glass Co. under monopoly charges based on the Hartford-Empire and Owens licensing agreements. The plaintiff claimed that small producers were being frozen out of business or prohibited from entering manufacture by the nature of the licenses. Almost a decade later, in 1947, the justices rendered a final verdict. The court prohibited the Ball Brothers from purchasing or otherwise controlling any other businesses engaged in the same manufacturing processes – in other words, the small jar producers. In addition, Ball had to divest itself of the Three Rivers Glass Co. (already closed for almost a decade) that Ball had acquired in 1936. Ball sold the property

Differentiators? The idea behind the tor browser specifically is to make it harder to fingerprint you by giving trackers the exact same information for each browser session across all its users, making it harder to differentiate between one user and another.

It might depend on the VPN provider. If it’s someone like Google, no way.

But Mullivad that has a proven track record of not keeping logs, that might be worth it.

I’ve also heard tor over i2p but don’t know enough about the latter to have an opinion

The government is cagey about how, exactly, this criminal activity was unearthed, noting only that Herrera “tried to access a link containing apparent CSAM.” Presumably, this “apparent” CSAM was a government honeypot file or web-based redirect that logged the IP address and any other relevant information of anyone who clicked on it.

It looks like a combination of bad opsec and clicking on a download link.

I know there has been some back and forth whether it’s good to use a VPN with tor and feel like this is just going to open up that conversation again.

I’m just waiting for Musk to sue all people on earth for either not having an account or for abandoning their account on Twitter.

Always “former”…

I can’t seem to find a concise authoritative list but this is the closest I’ve found

I know that there is a current mayor or governor that endorsed Harris but I don’t think they are up for re-election.

Is there a Republican who is actively up for election this November that has endorsed Harris?

Sovcits are… interesting.

There’s an aspect of their philosophy that I get. Like there is a sort of magical incantation they say and proof you’re immune from the law.

That’s sort of how courts work. We’re all about precedence, making sure that court rulings from before are applied fairly and equally. Knowing these rulings and how to apply them seems like magic to those of us who aren’t attorneys.

And all law and court rulings are text that you can read, right? So anyone should be able to read and recite them, right?

I sort of agree with the logic in the sense that I absolutely hate how any court action almost requires the services of an attorney. No matter how right you are, you still have to spend money to prove it in court.

But the nonsense of not paying any taxes or not being held responsible for your actions…that is where I draw the line.

They did a blog post about how the feds had made a second attempt to get metadata from them and they could only provide two fields of information: the date the account was created and the last time it connected to the service.

It’s in the public record as well if I’m not mistaken.
