  • Judge Hints at Plans to Rein In Google’s Illegal Play Store Monopoly

    Jump

  • As I understand it (from my non-legal casual read of the new coverage). Having a monopoly isn't illegal, abusing it is. For Google they found that google was secretly paying companies to not put their apps on other stores. That was what they got the judgement against them. They didn't find anything like that for Apple.

  • Encrypted DMs Are Coming to ActivityPub

    Jump

  • It's been a while since I've had to touch it too. But couldn't Alice provide Charlie with both the plain text and her public key. Charlie could then encrypt the text and see it came out the same as blob Bob sent Alice?

  • Encrypted DMs Are Coming to ActivityPub

    Jump

  • Typically end to end encryption includes digital signing of the message so you can verify who the sender was.

  • Encrypted DMs Are Coming to ActivityPub

    Jump

  • Yeah, end to end encryption means its not possible for someone to intercept the message between person A and person B. Nothing stops person B then forwarding the message to person C to report it.

  • Boris Johnson turned away from polling station after forgetting to bring photo ID

    Jump

  • Yeah, no need for ID to vote here in Australia. Just rock up at any polling place and give your name and they'll cross your name off.

    Don't even need ID to register to vote. Any other person on the electoral roll can vouch for your identity.

  • After a vegan blue cheese won the Good Food Award, panicked dairy cheese makers forced the foundation to disqualify it

    Jump

  • You technically could make cheese without murdering a cow but you won't find any made that way. Cows only produce milk for their young. To make milk they need to be repeatedly impregnated over and over again. Lifespan of a cow can be 20 years, though they are usually killed after about 5 as their milk output drops. Half of the cows they give birth to will be male and almost all killed as they don't produce milk. Some of the females may be killed too as you'll end up with more cows than you have room for it you keep them all.

    As for a human child, drinking human breast milk is considered vegan as long as it was given consensually. If you kidnap someone and tie them up in your basement then it wouldn't be.

  • Popular social media apps TikTok and Instagram use AI to analyze photos on your phone, introducing both bias and errors

    Jump

  • FYI for anyone interested. Immich is a open source, self hosted system for photos/videos like Google Photos. It uses machine learning locally for facial and general image recognition.

  • Why I ditched Gmail for Proton Mail

    Jump

  • It certainly can be a bit involved. When I moved from Gmail address to my own personal domain I did it slowly over a few months.

    I set my Gmail address to automatically forward to my new email address. Then I setup a quick filter which added a label on everything that had been forwarded. Once a week or so I would look at all the emails that had been forwarded and update them to my new email (or delete them if unwanted).

  • What VPN should I get for Linux?

    Jump

  • I'm not sure if their app does it. But the gluten docker container supports their port forwarding. Works really well if you're looking to route other containers through a VPN.

  • Regarding mullvad

    Jump

  • This is what I do as well and it's been working great for me.

  • Fighting cookie theft using device bound sessions

    Jump

  • I don't think WebAuthn protects against cookie theft. WebAuthn better protects the login process. But if the result of the login process is still a session/auth cookie, that can be stolen like any other cookie.

  • Can you tell excel sheets which were created using a pirated version of MS Office?

    Jump

  • Importing Google Photos Takeout to Immich

    Jump

  • This was the tool I used. It worked great for me.

  • something is happening to aurora store?

    Jump

  • Mine was having issues the other day too. Couldn't see any apps when I opened it. Started working again when I checked it the next day.

  • Phone Push Notifications: A Double-Edged Sword for User Privacy and Law Enforcement

    Jump

  • Signal doesn't encrypt notifications from what I understand. It uses Google/Apples notification system like everything else. But the notification only says "Hey, wake up!". Then the Signal app goes and retrieves the message from Signal's servers. That retrieval will be encrypted, but it's outside the push notification system at the point.

  • Initial Impressions of GrapheneOS

    Jump

  • I swapped to it at the start of the year. I've been really enjoying it so far. I'm down to a single app which requires Google Play Services installed. As it's only one app I've created a second profile specifically for it and only have Google services installed in that one. I've disallowed it running in the background too, so my phone is never running the services outside the brief times I need to use the app.

    Losing contactless payments was a minor inconvenience, but I picked up one of the cases which can fit a couple of cards inside as an alternative.

  • Why does have to keep profiles hidden in "about:profiles" like they're illegal to have. It's quite literally the 1 feature stopping me from using it over Vivaldi. That and vertical tabs, of

    Jump

  • I really wish vertical tabs could make it in as a core feature to Firefox. Currently I have to rely on manual user style sheet changes to hide the horizontal tab bar.

  • Google Photos Alternative

    Jump

  • Set Immich up a couple weeks ago and I'm surprised how good it is. Their docs included a simple cli tool to bulk import all my Google photos. Mobile app is working great. I'm really impressed with the search too.
