beep boop
And they are probably aware of that. The suffering is the point.
You should start by adding the exact model name of your device to the post, otherwise its not possible to check anything.
Whats wrong with that meal tho?
I mean they get a bajilliontrillion dollars from google every year to set it as the default search engine, so idk why people here are surprised at all. But yes, firefox needs a hard fork by some organization with more neutral funding.
Apple have a reasonable track record of pushing back against governments
Only when it comes to individual consumer cases like terrorists or other crimes. When it comes to large scale political movements then they are very quick to lend authoritarian governments a hand, see for example their cooperation with the CCP to suppress the Hong Kong protests. But they have also always cooperated with police to some degree and this has only gotten worse.
Forbes for the lack of a better source: https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2024/10/09/apple-sells-privacy-to-consumers-but-its-quietly-helping-police-use-iphones-for-surveillance/
There’s a widespread perception that Apple has a combative relationship with law enforcement after the company refused to help the FBI hack into the iPhone of the shooter in the 2015 San Bernardino terrorist attacks. But since then, it has ramped up collaboration with police through the conference and other meetings with agencies at both Cupertino HQ and its Elk Grove campus, as well as a variety of previously unreported projects helping cops use iPhones, Macs, Apple Vision Pro and CarPlay, the emails show. Most of these projects have not been announced publicly.
Apple declined to comment.
People just love believing in Apple for some weird reasons.
Turn of your capitalism brain ffs. This is not the place for companies and markets. If there is a financial interest then the app is worthless by design. iOS is not a trustable platform for anything security related so obviously you shouldnt use it for anything that concerns your physical safety. Dont forget, apple will always bend the knee to governments in the end.
No, and even worse, its only for apple devices lmao. These kids are so unserious in their activism it would be funny if it werent so sad. If shit hits the fan, this stuff will go down instantly and im sure it has no backup plan for a Tor based or p2p service. Activists in the US should start using Briar. This situation is exactly what it was made for and people have to get their tech game up fast or they will be done for. Get a shitty 80$ android phone if you only have an iphone. Install a panic trigger app that will wipe the phone if you are in trouble.
On ICEBlocks website it says:
Modeled after Waze but for ICE sightings, the app ensures user privacy by storing no personal data, making it impossible to trace reports back to individual users.
Which worries me, because if its closed source then thats a worthless promise and actually makes the app a perfect candidate for a honeypot or backdoor.
Lots of really useful sounding stuff in there. Good work :)
I thought this whole article was fake for a sec, because the image is clearly AI generated. Turns out they just grabbed a frame from the original video and AI upscaled it.
Cropped and upscaled from article:

Yeah their plans have been on and off for years now. Just ignore anything they say.
That has always been what Zuck does, so its not surprising.
Pretty sure you can disable those by click on the settings wheel visible in the bottom right. Or just use librewolf :)
Yeah this is a deathtrap for birds. Horrible design.
Western ones are also shitty tho. AMD and nvidia constantly changing up their naming schemes. Adding random X and T letters.
Bought an orange pi recently and had a similiarily confusing experience with naming schemes.
Yup this is the way. The resulting .kdbx database file is encrypted so you can even synchronize it over an untrusted provider. Otherwise you can use something like syncthing to keep it strictly peer to peer.
Thank you for extending this chain of tomfoolery :) I was thinking that Mint would make a good setup for a continuation.
