#Linux experts have long known that enterprise Linux distros have #security problems; now we have hard evidence of those problems and an answer for them
Der Aufsatz wäre auch im Blick auf die Verantwortung bzw. Einrichtung von Verantwortlichen für Ressourcen und Klimaziele interessant...- wie sehen Sie das @BlumeEvolution?
Google Gemini now has extensions that can for example use the content of your Gmail inbox, very practical but also very scary from a security/privacy perspective. #googlegemini#AI#extensies#security#privacy

@paul@ErikJonker Precies de reden volgens mij om @Piratenpartij te stemmen. Er zijn legio zaken om aan te pakken, klimaat, woningmarkt, zorg, brede welvaart, enz. Maar er is maar 1 die dat serieus combineert met de impact van de informatiesamenleving. En als dat niet goed meegenomen wordt is de rest ook gedoemd te mislukken. #EP2024
@queenbee4ever@paul@Piratenpartij ..er zijn meer partijen die dit onderwerp serieus nemen vind ik (zoals #D66 naar mijn mening) maar het zou goed zijn als iedereen deze vraagstukken meer in het stemgedrag zou meenemen.
An #NGO in #Japan has been dealing with weeks of criticism & turmoil for having a foreign logo in a presentation they submitted to the government.
The reason? Essentially, copying & pasting of copyrighted images & not realizing they were watermarked. It could have been avoided w/ some basic #data and #security practices.
@maccath@dmakovec We also provide an official Proton Mail onion site for use with the Tor network for those seeking anonymity.
It’s also important to differentiate that VPN is not classified as a communication tool in Switzerland — Proton VPN does not log IPs and there are no existing Swiss laws that can compel us to do so.
Two Santa Cruz students uncover security bug that could let millions do their #laundry for free. #CSC ServiceWorks provides #laundrymachines to thousands of residential homes and universities, but the company ignored requests to fix a security bug.
Some companies do not even seem to care about #security at all even when their whole business model is in danger when they don't fix reported issues in time. 🤷
so tired of #signal app. How can I criticize it when I’ve never used it I would like to use it. I would like to use it very much. However I don’t own a smart phone. Which means I can’t register a desktop app which intern means I can’t use signal as even trying to create a virtual I machine running, android to download the mobile app to register my desktop app. Which failed. I don’t care how much you improve it until you’re actually inclusive. Signal is not a good app. You might also want to think about who are the people they don’t have access to their own smart phone. Think about other ways for users to register without a smart phone please. (running macos desktop)
@Yishay yes, that's a big downside with Signal and something I really hope they will improve. In addition to people who don't have a smartphone, there are also people who use a different smartphone than iOS or Android, like various GNU-like #MobileLinux variants, for them Signal is also difficult to use.
I avoid iOS and Android phones for privacy reasons. Signal is supposed to be good for privacy, then it should work to easily register an account without iOS or Android.
the signal company does not like poor people to have access to good cryptography tools. many people who do not have smart phones are not as privileged as western developers.
lack of support for operating systems that are outside of the corporate two (iOS and Android). again lack of diversity makes signal lass available to those outside the mainstream.
Signalapp does not support clients that are not made by signal. again reduces the accessibility to those outside the mainstream.
if you care about secure communications i would think that you would care to have it available for all and not just those with more resources. adding the ability to not need a smartphone to use signal would make it accessible and much more secure. right now the easiest workaround is to borrow some ones smartphone. not so secure.
all the posts about how signal is so amazing read very tone def when many cant use it. @eliasr@ti@nieral@tzafrir
WhatsApp introduces "ask meta ai" in the local chat search bar, and Slack auto-feeds messages to train their LLM robots https://eigenmagic.net/@NewtonMark/112455578857917485 ... Delta Chat is among the shrinking number of messaging applications that does not look at your data except to end-to-end encrypt it and send it over interoperable message transport servers chosen by yourselves and your contacts. #decentralization#security#privacy ftw!
