  • There’s also a big difference between published specifications and threat models for the encryption which professionals can investigate in the code delivered to users, versus no published security information at all with pure reverse engineering as the only option

    Apple at least has public specifications. Experts can dig into it and compare against the specs, which is far easier than digging into that kind of code blindly. The spec describes what it does when and why, so you don’t have to figure that out through reverse engineering, instead you can focus on looking for discrepancies

    Proper open source with deterministic builds would be even better, but we aren’t getting that out of Apple. Specs is the next best thing.

  • Fascinating how you think I’m the apologist when you at no point have been capable of criticizing Trump for being far worse, not acknowledging your own personal role in ensuring the genocide will get worse by helping Trump win, not acknowledging that those who opposed Trump did so to prevent things from getting worse, and that you then instead of helping prevent things get worse decided to send us spiraling down into a far far worse situation, for literally no other reason than that you’re an asshole who thinks the genocide is about you, because why else would you take an action that you claim is to make things “better” by removing a flawed person from power, when you knew all along the replacement would be worse? You’re only trying to ensure you didn’t support a person who didn’t do enough to prevent a genocide - meanwhile that decision actually means you made an active choice to make the genocide worse.

    You’re only trying to shift blame. You and your crowd are personally responsible for things getting worse and you know it.




  • You’re mixing up cause and effect

    Yes it’s not the best strategy to appeal to the right, but the truth is their policies were more popular, Trump didn’t win on any tangible proposal, he won because of people staying home because they didn’t think he’d be that dangerous + people voting for Trump because the were convinced he’d be the one to deliver the policies they wanted (often the democrat’s policies which Trump took credit for) + straight propaganda from billionaire owned newspapers

    The real fix isn’t changing the policies and all that, it’s better outreach and showing how their actions have directly helped people and how Trump achieved nothing positive

    Also is very very weird when Biden has been the most progressive US president ever to talk about the whole party slipping to the right.
