  • Signal Protocol and Post-Quantum Ratchets

    Jump

  • Central servers basically. Funded by ex-meta people and endorsements from western governments (general "if it's popular then it's compromised" suspicion). Also it requires your phone number gathers things like contact info from the phone, even if one assumes the messages are secure. basically could be seen as relinquishing a list of potential associates...

    I don't think Signal is unsecure, in a sense. it's just secure for nobodies or anybody who want to use it in non western countries against governments hostile to the west or being designated to regime change targets. I however don't think it's much more secure than whatsapp for an high profile pro-Palestine activist for example. It's a privacy tool for some and honeypot for others depending how they relate to US security state and western governments. Whats better for an intelligence agencies than to have a control of the globally used privacy communication tool.

  • I'm still convinced that Signal is an NSA honeypot.

  • Some good money in that. One has to however take into account the cost on your soul.

  • Chat Control is back & we've got only a few weeks to stop the EU CSAM scanning plans.

  • Probably depends how the companies responsible for opening backdoors in their apps and services would handle it. Would they use the same backdoors that they give access to authorities in other countries or will they create a super specific backdoor just for EU.

  • look at the bright side. EA couldn't get any worse anyway. If it dies because of this then this event might be seen as a boon to humanity.

  • The Finnish Marticulation Examination to move away from Linux-based exam enviroment due to perceived threat of dwindling support on student devices

    Jump

  • unless the Finnish school system has bought into Chromebooks in a big way

    Yeah goverment is now giving laptops students at that level, on a loan basis. Just so that everybody has access to free study materials that are now partly of fully digital. The computers are usually, but not always chromebooks because they are cheap and chromebooks are the "student laptop" anyways.

    I wonder if the whole Secure Boot/Microsoft shim key issue is a part of this.

    Yeah that's part of it. The boot issues with usb. It's apparently a total lottery of whose computer decides not to boot when the exam starts with the new windows limitations.

  • Former Facebook Exec Warns AI Industry Is Entirely Built on "Vibes"

    Jump

  • yeah because Wallstreet needs AI to be good so that all those startups and Nvidia bubble holding up the whole stock market won't go tits up. So just like crypto bros everybody in the game has the full incentive to be sickeningly optimistic about the thing they are peddling so that the hype keeps going and the line goes up.

  • The US has surrendered almost all of their manufacturing power and knowledge

    Only high tier manufacturing can even compete in the US and that's because that's the only place where there are no or very little completion. Us manufacturing alone can only compete with total monopoly. Even then the degradation of manufacturing base makes things difficult and expensive. US science base is mostly there to try manufacturing new monopolies and not so much to serve the manufacturing industries. Failing that they can produce new patents and intellectual property that can then be leased to other companies in other countries and leaving US capital a cut from all the sectors and the their companies that use those patents.

  • Brain drain from USA

    What's left after that? Much of american economy as I understand it is based on being able to constantly suck up the capital and scientist from around the world to the Usa.

  • Samsung phone might be dangerous to your health and life, even in a case of being near oen. Even if you aren't conspiring to send aid to Gaza, since they can probably also track people around you. Andd they do kill based on metadata. US and Israel, both.
