Don’t advertise others’ locations?

Hopefully soon Librewolf, Fennec F-droid and other forks will become mainstream.

I haven’t switched to Librewolf on pc yet; hoping that turning off the telemetry/etc options in ff is enough, but I’m starting to think it might not be long.

Amidst all the outrage, I’d like to say I’m really in favour of having workplaces child friendly where possible. More time of letting the children spend time with mum or dad, rather than going to corporate childcare.

If any of you are planning an office layout today, make a playroom!

Depending on how well/thoroughly it handles it, that could also remove a lot of the worry of companies adding ccp-accessible backdoors.

I’m sorry, yeah that must be awful.

It’s even worse when half the population actually endorses the behaviour.

Are there a lot of Canadians who support it then?

It’s handy sometimes, isn’t it ;-)

Ah, so the government is your landlord now?

It’s good, because Americans have so much trust in their government right now.

A few comments around saying, “not all landlords are bad; I’m a landlord and I’m pretty okay.” Where are the tenants saying, I’m happy to pay rent to my landlord?

I’ll be one.

I’ve never owned property. I’d like to, and I think there’s a huge evil in the scale and manner of property/land rental that goes on, and I’d much prefer an overwhelming change toward most people being able to own their home.

But not all of us are in a position to own. Nor does everyone want the responsibility and the overhead (ownership can be expensive too!). I’m glad there have been landlords from whom I can rent a place in each of the places I’ve been.

I’m G P T and I cannot lie.
You other brothers use ‘AI’
But when you file a case
To the judge’s face
And say, “made mistakes? Not I!”
He’ll be mad!

Super knowledgeable but with patchy knowledge, so they’ll confidently say something that practically everyone else in the company knows is flat out wrong.

I’ve not heard of Jeep culture, myself, so now I’m going to imagine a colony of asexually-reproducing microscopic Jeeps in a Petri dish.

Today, O Squid, you have broadened my imagination beyond yesterday.

aaaaaare you sure!?

I know, but I liked the idea of sending messages by interpreting meaning in a series of cat memes :-)

By the way, do you know if steganography in an image is truly undetectable? Or if an attacker could, by statistical analysis or pattern analysis, determine that steganography has been used?

“Jones, take a look at these cat photos.”

“Oh, they’re lovely, sir!”

“No, Jones, look at them. What do they mean?”

“Well, sir, this one is hungry, so it’s asking for food, but in its native American style. This one is looking at the camera funny, probably because it’s been startled by something off camera. This one is looking smug, and the angry people there have been added by the artist, they’re not from the same photo. This one–”

“Sit down, Jones. Look at their meaning. The terrorist attack will be at 2pm on the 23rd at South Kensington station, used as a distraction for the simultaneous heist in the Natural History Museum!”

Whitespace steganography in markdown ;-)

Wow, thank you for this! But it looks like IMAP and POP, not server-to-server. And how would one of these severs compromise security if not one of the end points?

Smaller attack surface and fewer leaks. If you specifically are targeted, the government will look for a warrant for the data in your account, rather than the one you sent to. Gmail also I think there’s a concern that text will leak via AI - I remember hearing this concern even when it was just that associations in search terms might build from private email content.

I don’t think gayhitler is entirely correct about reading all the plaintext emails. If I understand right, major (most?) email providers use TLS (encryption) between each other and and to your laptop. The difference is the email is available on their servers somewhere, if someone were to get access.

And yet the other day I read an account of researching tracking for ads, and the iPhone used sent a request to Facebook even before anything was installed

A bit of a different thing, but still.

I’m thinking CalyxOS for my next phone.

Thanks for the well-meaning advice.

The recovery password in iCloud to stop even Apple accessing it is exactly what the UK is trying to undermine. It protects you - for now.

I tried to start using pgp for email years ago, the problem is of course adoption by everyone you’re communicating with, be that personal, corporate or official. I got one friend to make a gpg key! And most email servers, as I understand, pass to each other with TLS, and the connection from your computer to your email service is encrypted. The problem is the emails at rest on both ends, including hosted by the email provider. Moving my email off Fastmail, whether to something like Protonmail or stored only on my computer, would remove one particular attack surface.
