Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,Seven for the dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne,In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind themIn the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
Lol. So this API for 'security' and 'integrity' basically has a built in malware trojan:
Avoid caching integrity verdicts
Caching integrity verdicts increases the risk of proxying, which is an attack where a bad actor reuses a verdict from a good device for abusive purposes in another environment. Instead of caching responses, you can make a standard API request to get a verdict on demand.
There is exactly one app I use that is available only on play store - my bank.
I don't really need the app.
They have a website.
I have a few phones, just got one that now has grapheneOS.
I've been using it for a few weeks to see how it works before I switch over anything to use it as my main. it has a lot of very interesting privacy/security features to test out.
Either way, I don't get anything from the play store anymore.
My first real 'community' online was mp3.com. When I joined I was like the 132nd person on that site. It was such an incredible thing back then. People could post their own music, get feedback, promote, find a label, and get paid for streams/downloads.
I actually earned money from my music while chatting with future mega stars like Darude and Dido.
I got some real world tracks out there, had my stuff played from Australia to Canada, and there was a time I could walk into a club and hear my music being played.
Surreal thinking about it now.
I've never had that kind of connection or sense of belonging online since.
My blazing fast 26k baud modem had my friends and I connecting ....(mom, I'm on the computer!)....connecting... (BeepBongBoobBeeereREEEEEEEEEEEE Pingping ding eoooohhhhh bding) connecting to the greatest BBS with color ascii to play the newest text based space trade war adventure games !!!
As a 10 year old, though, it was never about meeting people. It was just cool and fun.
