Yeep there are quite a few of these that get them into the hands of disadvanteged people or underfunded schools and such.

No :)

Idk maybe, but it might be interesting for non game applications like AR apps and such

How did you solve it?

analytics tools often have full access to everything on the page so this might as well be comparable to a breach of chatgpt itself

All their big multiplayer games have lootboxes and stuff like that.

Removed by mod

France was also leading the charge in the shutdown of those other encrypted phone services. They claimed that those were only used by criminals but never provided any evidence. They also broke multiple laws during their investigation. So yes the french government definitely is dirty in this regard and deserves calling out.

Yeah thats about what i expected.

That is very interesting 🤔
Thanks!

I was considering buying Risk of Rain 2 on sale yesterday for 9€ but buying all the DLCs costs 45€.

Thats how you get MORE feral cats lmao

Even at 1000$ it will most likely outperform any 1000$ prebuilt you can buy. If they market it like this it can absolutely work at that price point.

Thats the dumbest shit ive ever heard. Every server that isnt yours is compromised. The general assumption in computer security is always that anything outside of your physical possession is compromised, especially when your opponent is the best equipped government on the planet.

signal only knows a phone number in association with an account creation date and the last sent message date. everything else is encrypted.

Thats not really possible. If thats all they give out, then that just means that is all that they decide to save. They have access to the servers that everyones messages pass through. They could log the IP and date for every single message sent if they wanted to, but just decide not to do it. This model fails however as soon as they are forced to save more than that.

Do you have a source for that? How would the server know who to deliver data to without being aware of the group member list?

But signal knows it so they will hand it over to the police if requested…

only add people to your group chats that you have good reason to trust

Yeah people need to really set trust hierarchies for this kinda political organizing. Sort of a “Principle of least privilege” but for people.

Only post personal or identifying information in chats where everyone already knows every other person directly. Public or effectively public(with more than like 10 people) chats should never ever have any identifying information in them.

Dont use a SIM card. Which also means dont use Signal unless you have a number than cant be linked to you.

They will absolutely plant long term rats for this shit so if you havent known someone for years, then think twice about telling them things they dont need to know.

If people are actually serious about organizing then tell them to use Briar. There is nothing else that comes close to it. You shouldnt use your primary phone for shit like this anyways so it doesnt matter if they are apple users, they should get a 100$ android just for this.

It is said to have been inspired by the Trump administration’s efforts to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

That explains a lot. Basically “reward the aggressor” and “prevent any possibility for future armed resistance”

The Dutch government had cited national security concerns and “serious governance shortcomings” when it took effective control of Nexperia, which is headquartered in the city of Nijmegen but owned by China’s Wingtech Technology.

Karremans said he was suspending his order issued in late September as a “show of goodwill” in a decision that came after “constructive meetings” with Chinese authorities over the past few days.

Basically the chinese were doing a shit job of running this vital chip company so the Dutch government said “Get your shit together or we are taking your company”. And thats what they did for a few weeks which apparently led to the holding of a “constructive meetings with Chinese authorities"

So the threat worked. Who would have guessed? Sounds like the dutch have smart people in power.
