This would work better as a wiki, creative commons licensed, with a database that’s available for download separate from the website frontend (like wikipedia has).

You need to put yourself in the shoes of a non-technical person who doesn’t know how to evaluate the relative security of all the tools that are out there available to them. If you are posting your pre-alpha untested software with a title like “Anti-forensic and secure messenger” then there are many people who will read that and think that it’s on an equal footing as the other tools they have heard of. The vast majority of people are not software engineers, and even fewer are cryptographers.

this project is still in heavy development so without it getting professional security audit i wouldn’t recommend using it for sensitive stuff.

You’ve got to lead with this.

Well a professional security audit would be at the top of the requirements for an established product that has a userbase and some kind of funding, but as a solo developer the least you can do before releasing your software to the world is to have at least one other person who has some experience in security look it over - that’s what I was asking.

If you can tell people that your software is secure and “anti-forensic” (!) then you must be pretty confident in your understanding of security systems to release that without even a single code review by a peer.

Anti-forensic and secure? Those are bold claims. If you’re the only person working on the project, have you at least had someone else look at the code to find any obvious security vulnerabilities?

Again, nothing to do with Microsoft’s cloud platform.

Oh I see. That’s just measuring tracking scripts on websites. It’s not particularly relevant to what is discussed in the article (data sovereignty of cloud providers).

You’re going to link me to youtube shorts?

Please, no.

Certainly the Blacklight test show that Microsoft EU respect way more the privacy (forced by law) than Microsoft US.

What test?

If you go to your Settings page, there’s a Blocks tab which has a text-entry field where you can type in a community name to block it.

I thought the fine was for not allowing apps to tell users about alternate payment systems. Nothing to do with sideloading apps. Unless there was a second judgement with a fine recently?

For a professional writer you’d think she would know that a quotation (even a fictional one) requires quotation marks around it to make it clear to the reader that it’s not what you are saying but somebody else. Perhaps this makes more sense:

“Refusing to accept that people who don’t like sex belong in the gay category is akin to wanting segregated bathrooms in the 1950s, John,” as approximately a thousand gender activists will inform you once their hands stop literally shaking.

She’s mocking the people who replied to her.

Mozilla needs a means of making money if anyone hopes Firefox or Librewolf to exist in the long run.

Mozilla Corp needs a means of making money if they want to continue paying their directors millions of dollars a year. The software projects, not so much.

It has been shown repeatedly that “differential privacy” can be exploited to de-anonymize the users whose data has been aggregated.

If you read Mozilla’s description of their Private Audiences system you immediately ask, “what happens if an advertiser has an audience comprising a list of ‘known opposition party supporters’ and generates a new ‘audience’ based on that profile? Do they then get an expanded list of opposition party supporters to target?” Yes of course they do, because that’s entirely the purpose of this system.

Waving their hands and saying it uses ephemeral machine learning models and differential privacy does not solve the inherent societal problems with allowing targeted advertising.

Anything that supports the surveillance capitalist economy is just fuelling the continued exploitation of our attention and private data. Get to fuck, Mozilla CORP.

I can never remember their generation codenames, so here are the cards that represents:

Maxwell: GTX 745, 750, 750 Ti, 950, 960, 970, 980, 980 TI, Titan X

Pascal: GTX 1050, 1050 Ti, 1060, 1070, 1070 Ti, 1080, Titan Xp

Volta: V100, GV100, Titan V

The feature looks like absolute shit. Their supposed use-case is “you opened a bunch of tabs and none of them have what you need” and yet they expect you instead to sit there with your mouse hovering over a link, while holding a shortcut on the keyboard, waiting for the AI summary to finish loading? That would slow you down about 10x versus just opening all the links and looking at the page?

If they wanted link previews, why didn’t they just prefetch the page and render it normally in a preview thumbnail like the ones that you now get when hovering over an open tab?

Mindless shoe-horning of AI into the product to check some kind of box for the overpaid C-suite. For shame.

tcpdump that shit
