  • Can they rename it the Donald J Trump Center for Fuck All?

  • After looking at that article, I think the photo on the bike is the original, not the AI version.

  • I like this kid.

  • He then added, "We will, however, guard, and very powerfully so, any and all Federal Buildings that are being attacked by these highly paid Lunatics, Agitators, and Insurrectionists.

    Also known as Americans who don't like seeing their neighbors kidnapped or executed in the street. And Trump is one to talk about insurrectionists.

  • We are all antifa on this blessed day.

  • Pedos of a pod.

  • And you're a crooked half-demented fascist pedophile rapist. Your point?

  • He has a Weinsteiny look. And what a lineup in that photo.

  • Personally, I was eager to see it and super pumped to finally learn more about this fascinating and enigmatically beautiful woman. But while I was waiting in line with hundreds of other culture lovers, George Soros came strolling along and paid each of us a thousand quid to go and watch something better instead. So I went and saw The Smurfs and got pie and chips. I hear he's going to all the cinemas with these bundles of cash. Him and Obama, who was doing the cinema on the next street.

  • I agree. The complacent myth that the Nazis were subhuman monsters and not people like us is part of what got us this resurgence of fascism. We need to admit that the worst people are more like us than we're comfortable with.

  • How about just abolishing ICE?

  • Ah but now they're going to be a robot company selling fewer and fewer robots instead.

  • The kakkiest of kakistocracies.

  • You really need a VPN to torrent safely, and the UK Government is in the process of restricting VPNs.

  • That's not the point. This is a protest by the company running these sites against a system that's not fit for its claimed purpose (age restriction of websites) but is very fit for surveillance.

  • Then we just need a hero to route all our traffic through the House of Lords.

  • I think we're dealing with weasel lawyer words here. Meta can boast that messages are E2E encrypted between you and the recipient, but that implies nothing about key storage or security, or about other channels through which the app could send message data before it is encrypted. It may be E2EE between you and the recipient, and also sent in plaintext to Meta. Plus E2EE of messages implies nothing about message metadata.

  • Your threat model seems to be an app whose published source code doesn't match the published app, and whose published version uses a side channel not in the source code to leak messages in plaintext to a server. If that's what we're worried about then decentralization of the app's main messaging channel makes no difference. The sneaky side channel could still be there in any app, centralised or decentralized.

    That's a theoretical worry to be mitigated through integrity checks on published open-source apps. The worry with Meta and WhatsApp is much more immediate: a known bad actor with a closed-source app, many domains they could use to leak keys or unencrypted messages, and a fawning relationship with the fascist and surveillance-hungry US Government. I'd still put significantly more trust in Signal even though it is centralised.
