  • Imposters.

  • When you report a user in an individual chat, WhatsApp receives up to five of the last messages they’ve sent to you.

    This particular function is not at odds with E2EE. The client can either:

    • Send decrypted messages to the server. This is flawed because a malicious client can fake them, setting someone up for a ban;
    • Send the keys so that the server can decrypt the messages. Depending on how often keys are rotated, this might leak a couple more messages than intended.
  • Love to see him calling his supporters morons.

  • WhatsApp is not open-source, you can't compile the client yourself. It doesn't matter if it's been audited by a third party. That version could've easily been backdoor-free.

  • you and that other weirdo

    Ad hominem. How refreshing. Yawns. You'll get right along with that .blahaj.zone guy/gal/NB-person in the replies.

    actually if its not from the pedophile region, otherwise it's just sparkling child abuse

    What is a "pedophile region", anyway? Epstein's Island? And what's with that "otherwise"? Are you saying that pedophilia in "pedophile regions" is NOT child abuse? You should work on articulating your thoughts better, it's challenging to understand what you're trying to say.

  • I quoted the psychiatric definition on purpose.

    The general population has a tendency of diluting medical, mostly psychiatric, terms, either rendering them meaningless (see people describing themselves as having OCD because they are quirky) or even turning them into slurs (see various names for intellectual disabilities, like "imbecile", "idiot" and so on).

    I have an issue with that specifically. I replied to someone else why stretching the age from "prepubescent" to "below the legal age of consent" (hell, some poster even suggested "below the legal age of majority even if the legal age of consent is lower") bugs me.

  • How's that moral high ground, dude? Feeling good about yourself? Calling me creepy, knowing fuck all about me.

    I replied to others what's my issue with people diluting the term, just in case you give a shit.

  • Man "conveniently" referred to the psychiatric definition. Because the "sexual attraction to a person below the legal age of consent" definition isa) harmful to victims of actual child sexual abuse (in my opinion);b) geographically-dependent. In Europe the age of consent is 16, for example. According to the other posters, there are states in the US where it is lower than 18.

  • I'm not protecting anyone, that is not my intent at all. Hell, I couldn't care less about American celebs or whoever this guy is.

    My issue is literally in the first sentence. Watering down the term doesn't help victims of actual child sexual abuse. I'd argue it's actually harmful.

  • pedos who “date” 17-year-olds

    Stop watering down the term. Yucky? Sure. Pedophile? No.

    Pedophilia (alternatively spelled paedophilia) is a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a sexual attraction to prepubescent children. Although girls typically begin the process of puberty at age 10 or 11, and boys at age 11 or 12, psychiatric diagnostic criteria for pedophilia extend the cut-off point for prepubescence to age 13.

    Emphasis mine. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedophilia.

  • Keming? Who's Keming?

  • In typical C fashion, there's undefined behavior in turn_char_to_int. xD

  • So how does a claim regarding Russia's technological capabilities relate to my original comment?

    Your original comment literally calls Russia one of the world's "most technologically prominent" country, stop trying to gaslight me.

    leaders of two of the world’s most technologically prominent countries

    Putin and Xi

  • Not even remotely related to the part I quoted and laughed at, but I'll humour you.

    It's called deduction, you just need to use that gray matter of yours. Two, rather old, psychopaths muse about extending one's lifetime. Could it be that they themselves have a vested interest in this? No, that must be a conspiracy theory by filthy liberals.

  • two of the world’s most technologically prominent countries

    Russia

    LMFAO. lemmy.ml users just can't stop glazing autocracies, can they?

  • "Earlier, people rarely lived to 70, but these days at 70 you are still a child," Xi told Putin according to the translator in Russian.

    Hard to argue with that. Both of these cunts seem to lack any emotional intelligence whatsoever.

  • Oh wow, a security disaster. You know, you can temporarily escalate your privileges if you need to modify Program Files, right? It's just one UAC prompt away.

  • I misremembered the whole thing. It was still related to cleaning up after a failure, but there was only one resource I had to deal with. That's how it looks like:

     cpp
        
        sqlite3 *db;
        int r;
    
        r = sqlite3_open("./data.db", &db);
        if (r) {
            std::cerr << "Can't open the database: " << sqlite3_errmsg(db) << std::endl;
            return r;
        }
    
        r = sqlite3_exec(db, "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS foo(...);", nullptr, nullptr, nullptr);
        if (r != SQLITE_OK) {
            std::cerr << "Can't create a table called foo: " << sqlite3_errmsg(db) << std::endl;
            goto out;
        }
    
        // a few more sqlite3_exec calls;
        // some sqlite3_prepare_v2 calls combined with sqlite3_bind_* and sqlite3_step calls
        // for repeated queries.
    
    out:
        sqlite3_close(db);
        return r;
    
      
  • You’re describing Secure Boot.

    Secure Boot is literally configurable. You can create your own key and sign whatever you want with it. See sbctl.
