  • Lawsuit claims Meta can see WhatsApp chats in breach of privacy

    Jump

  • I thought this was well known. That’s why I don’t understand people using whatsapp at all. On android and ios products from the same company can access data between different apps, breaking through the sandbox. So if you have WA and FB installed, FB can see the data in WA and then send it in plain text back to meta’s servers (or encrypting with a key they have access to).

    This does not mean that WA isn’t e2e encrypted. That’s why this spokesman can say:

    “Any claim that people’s WhatsApp messages are not encrypted is categorically false and absurd,” spokesman Andy Stone said in an email. “WhatsApp has been end-to-end encrypted using the Signal protocol for a decade. This lawsuit is a frivolous work of fiction.”

    And be completely truthful, and yet the lawsuit also be completely truthful. If you can visually see it on your screen then Meta can have access to it if they wanted. You have to actually trust the company behind the software as well and it needs to be open source and auditable and that still isn’t necessarily enough. WA already doesn’t meet two of these requirements so why in the world would you trust it at all?

    Here’s an article talking about this on iOS. https://iosbrain.com/blog/2022/05/24/beyond-the-sandbox-using-app-groups-to-communicate-between-ios-or-macos-apps/

  • According to the wiki it didn’t actually get rid of the smells, it just pulled them to above pedestrian height so people couldn’t smell them as much.

  • You can install an adblocker in safari, not sure if it will block YouTube ads though.

  • Now put a newline in your comment, to make it readable. Clearly you can see the problem here right? “comment2” isn’t a comment. It’s a key with a value. Numbering them doesn’t actually fix anything, in fact it makes it much much harder to maintain.

  • Mine did too for a long time, but we did it a few times and she realized she liked the steam so now she comes in willingly a lot of the time.

  • You are clearly one of those people that never had to deal with xml in a production system. Even with proper syntax highlighting, dealing with xml is a nightmare, whether it’s for configuration or data transmission. People switched to JSON because it’s better. Period. And that’s an incredibly low bar to set, because I don’t think JSON is that good either.

    Like another person said, all of these features of XML doesn’t make it nicer, it makes it worse, because it means you have to be ready for any of those features even if they’re never used.

  • You do? jsonAta and JSONPath both exist and are very good.

  • God, fucking camel and hibernate xml were the worst. And I was working with that not even 15 years ago!

  • Still supports Google. They will produce more because people are trading in their old ones. Unless Google completely stops producing pixels, any demand for refurbished ones still shows up as demand for pixels from their sales metrics.

  • By telling other people to use brave you are supporting them. That’s literally the definition.

  • FIV+ cat tips?

  • Ours doesn’t have FIV, but she does get sick every few months. I put her in the bathroom with me when I take a shower and I don’t turn the exhaust fan on. It seems to help her. The steam I think helps reduce inflammation.

  • If I taught you anything it’s to replenish!

  • The alternative is supporting Google which is far far worse.

  • I mean i just use safari. It has a bunch of extensions, it blocks ads and tracking. You can add adguard to it if you want. You can get dark mode. Sometimes I use Firefox too but Safari really handles a lot. If you’re really up for trying privacy respecting browsers, Orion is great. Built by the Kagi developers so you know they care about your privacy. I stopped using it because it didn’t have dark mode last year but that might have gotten added by now.

  • Don’t support Brave.
