Yes; they are not breaking it, but they have developed malicious QR codes, which the user expects to be the link device QR, but is actually giving them access to their messages.

Russia-backed hackers are attempting to compromise Signal’s “linked devices” capability, which allows Signal users to link their messaging account to multiple devices, including phones and laptops, using a quick response (QR) code.

Google threat analysts report that Russia-linked threat actors have developed malicious QR codes that, when scanned, will give the threat actor real-time access to the victim’s messages without having to compromise the victim’s phone or computer.

I think it’s cool. If people don’t like it? That’s completely okay, you can block it

It’s no problem.

What really gets on my nerves, and infuriates me insanely is how some people act like the west is a beacon of morality, and then try to act like immigration is “importing the third world” - my brother in christ, why do you think we have to immigrate to your country? who enslaved, colonized, setup autocratic dictatorships a century ago, for your own benefit? And you think you have the right to complain??? (this isn’t directed at you, by the way. I’m glad you are more open minded than others.)

It also kind of, and many of you may disagree with this; pisses me off that 50501 and all those types of protests never focus on foreign policy, but only things that affect them.

This may be a sweeping generalization:

after all my years, i’ve learned many people don’t mind, or even support fascism: it’s that the moment they are inconvenienced by it, by hitting their home turf all of a sudden they are anti fascist. Same story with WW2.

Slavery and colonialism never ended. They’ve just decided to keep it out their own countries, for their people to not see.

I’m very, very glad and happy that you are not like those who defend them all they can, and act like the west is this moral place. You are very open minded, we need more people like you.

Absolutely. I can’t point out what’s so nostalgic about it and its graphics, maybe the gamma? the simpler minecraft? just playing on a controller? It also felt that the OST played at more fitting times then Java/bedrock edition.

There’s just something magical about it. Especially the minigames, i almost forgot about those!

The genocide in Sudan. iirc the US is the only one yet to have declare it as such, but looking it up it’s clear that the horrors and massacres that happen there is 100% a genocide.

France, Israel and the UAE are funding the RSF, who are barbaric, genocidal scum. The group came out of the janjaweed,who already have committed the darfur genocide two decades ago.

The RSF rape, ransom, murder and torture civilians and commit ethnic cleansing. They are less than scum. To put into perspective how bad they are, 100 women committed mass suicide, because the RSF was coming to their village and they knew they would be raped.

I’m in the middle east, and it fucking sucks.

We have like 2 genocides going on right now, and the rest are autocratic dictatorships that persecute/massacre their people. Especially minorities. I don’t like the democrats, but republicans are even worse. They’re going to turn Jordan, palestine, lebanon and syria into rubble. Fucking hell. And they’re going to fund the Sauds/gulf monarchies more.

Life’s unfair, there’s not much we can do about it here. But you can; please, protest all you can.

Thank you :D

God i miss legacy minecraft. Way better than bedrock.

I still have it on my original xbox one (not the og og xbox lol) and i’m overwhelmed with memories everytime i play it.

I was heartbroken when they discontinued it, and it took me years to actually migrate to bedrock ;'(

Thank you for reminding me of it :^)

That’s why i started [email protected] - feel free to advertise any of those dead comms and find some mods / posters for it :D

No way… you’re telling me a free AI is profiting off my data?

Always run AI locally!

My original comment was under a hardware thread, but the main interest of it was the paper i linked. The paper itself is better suited to the article but my commentary is not haha.

I’m very excited for the development of these open source processors, but the average person is probably not going to build their own hardware (for obvious reasons 😅) But i think this is still a huge step for transparency!

The original point of the paper was for software, which is arguably more malicious (and what the article was talking about) Almost no one can build their entire environment from pure scratch (from the OS to the browser) and even then, how can you prove that the toolchain itself is not malicious or backdoored?

My point ultimately is that most of this does not matter. There is something close to “true privacy” but never 100%. Privacy is about tradeoffs and compromises, it is still better than exposing yourself completely to the open.

I’ll repost an old comment of mine, since it’s relevant:

True security/privacy is impossible.

It is a compromise, and it all depends on your threat model; everything is probably “backdoored” some way or another.

However the productive thing isn’t 100% blocking these risks, it’s mitigating it. It’s not feasible to build your own processor, so for example, choose the least worse between Intel ME and AMD PSP. It’s sad that we have to live in a world where surveillance is everywhere, but this is how it is for now.

tl;dr: don’t worry too much about these, you’ll still be backdoored one way or another, what is important is making it harder for them

I think it’s been implemented this whole time, but it’s just that the default lemmy-ui doesn’t show it

mods will also be able to view votes in their communities.

You can already do this using tesseract, by the way (not tesseract.dubvee.org, strangely?)

On t.lemmy.dbzer0.com i can see both upvotes and downvotes (for all my modded comms):

Ah, well that sucks :( i thought it just used a different strategy to do so if it was trusted, not outright disable it.

Will correct it, thanks

I’m not sure about the downvotes part (i failed to recreate this lmao) but you can already view upvotes with mbin. Piefed solves this problem with a option to make your votes private but only with untrusted instances (but from my tests it didn’t work? weird)

The Internet. Every single truth, creation and information that exists, has existed and will exist, all at my finger. It’s amazing.

Other than that? modern medicine. Pretty much everything was a death sentence in old medical practices.

I mainly use offline tools like onlyoffice, but i love cryptpad. It’s the best office suite for privacy. Highly recommend.

Good luck with the competition!

Pretty much, lol (with a GUI installer too). I like how it looks so I think that’s a good thing x)
