Apart from defending against facial recognition, this is really dope.

I’m currently at the 1 year mark of my IT internship, idk when I should leave. Should I stick with it for another year while I’m still in school and then jump after I graduate? Should I get a new job and jump this summer? So many options

I check fmhy.net

Somebody broke the internet box

Yeah my dad is a normie tech enthusiast who wants everything connected to the internet. I’m looking for a way to isolate the devices but I’m having some trouble

I’m trying to learn vim so I have neovim with neovim. With this you can do a lot more stuff. Have a lot more functionality, and it’s super easy to set up

You can look this up for your model. When I was looking this, there was a youtube video showing how to physically renove chevy’s onstar thing in the car

Scared because it’s centralized. If Amazon decides that it wants to shut Signal down, they can. Nobody can spin up a Signal instance and help out.

My friend messaged me on Signal asking if Instructure (runs on AWS) was down. I got the message. That being said, it’s scary that Signal’s backbone depends on AWS

Aws seems out on down detector

On one of my computers I have LUKS and requires me to type in two passwords. Not sure if it has TPM

What is keeping you all from extreme stress considering the possibility that a government is spying on your actions despite strict privacy practices?

Because I’m a fan of my fucking rights and I’ll defend it against an authoritarian government. I don’t need to be a terrorist to value free speech.

How do you all stay calm with all this pressure?

It’s hard, but by using good tools, writing out my privacy model, being informed. It will not necessarily make you calm about the current state of everything but at least be knowledgeable about how good your entire environment is.

Yeah but then you need to type in two passwords. A little annoying

Preaching to the choir

I will be honest, it took me a good while to figure out what’s wrong

Every person who switches to Linux I see on Lemmy is a win

Wtf

From what I gather these are about the IP Logging, deanonymizing user, and having accounts on temporary suspension.

You could search it why on your own or even read the articles you just cited but basically.

• Apparently the user broke swiss law and “Proton must comply with Swiss law. As soon as a crime is committed, privacy protections can be suspended”. However, if the user used VPN, they could’ve gotten away with this tbh. Emails are encrypted so the only thing they got going for them was the IP address, and that was the weak point.
• For the deanonymized user, their recovery email was an iCloud email. You don’t need to use a recovery email, it’s an option that the user chose.
• Proton received an alert from CERT, saying that these users were linked to a North Korean APT group. But they couldn’t verify (as they can’t read encrypted emails), so they did the safe thing and temporary suspended them until they receiver further confirmation.

It seems everything they did was to comply with the laws and 2 of these situations could’ve been easily avoided by the user. The third case just put their accounts in suspension for some further review.

I read this article and it certainly is something to consider.

It talks about how Andy Yen was just pointing out how under Trump’s first admin, they started to actually attack big tech when dems haven’t done anything. Which is true. He praises Gail Slater and Lina Khan (but Lina Khan was recently fired…sooooo).

They clarified how the andy1011000 (andy88) username probably is more about how Andy’s birthday was in 1988 and 88 is a lucky number in Taiwan, unlikely that he’s a white supremacist.

They also traced the money of Proton’s donations and none of the organizations were republican, and pretty much all of the donations align with the practices of Democrat donors.

Andy has a history of posting online supporting Ukraine, being against xenophobia, against racism, supporting women in tech, supporting refugees receive education in Switzerland.

When the Democrat party had proposals for regulatory efforts, Andy supported them.

He even made a tweet and blog post talking about the tech surveillance underneath the Trump administration and how people should fear it.

So it seems to be that Andy is more liberal when donating money and publicly acknowledge whoever is in support of anti-trust and anti-surveillance to me.

If it’s the goal of Proton to seem neutral, then they maybe did it a little too well. They convinced people that Andy is a full on fascist when in reality, he seems better than democrat politicians we have nowadays.
