    The only solace I take in the enshittification of the web and the resulting rise in prices, is that we might see (be forced into) a return to the small web and an escape from the stranglehold that big tech and social media has had on us for the last 15 years.

    If we’re lucky, the late-stage capitalism effect of ruining companies long term futures for short term gains might happen to entire industries instead of companies.





  • I’m not much of an Apple fan, I just like to get my privacy where I can. And with over a decade of experience in cybersecurity I can confidently say that as much as you shouldn’t blindly trust Apple, they at least give you a number of tools to increase your privacy out of the box.

    Android on the other hand is a nightmarish hellscape of data mining and user profiling. There is GrapheneOS which is as of today a great option to circumvent Google’s data mining, but now that its future is at stake I worry for the future of privacy on Android devices.

    But we get it from your post, you’re a pro-Google shill bot that didn’t actually read my comment and is just regurgitating nonsense to muddy the waters.


  • Every major OS can be secured to the highest security standards

    Has Android added E2EE to their cloud backups yet like Apple has?

    Apple is no friend to any of us, but Google openly and shamelessly scrapes every piece of data you put on their phones. Apple is absolutely the lesser of these two evils with out of the box functionality. I say this as a lifelong Android fan and Apple hater that entered the cybersecurity space and am only interested in the most private option I can get out of the box.

    Like an Android can be more secure and private than an IPhone, but afaik that involves owning a Pixel specifically and installing an entirely different OS on it, one that Google a Is also out to get.

    Well after reading this I just went to open the app and it now things none of my tens of thousands of photos are synced to the server, yet the sync icon at the top says there’s nothing to sync. So… not great today lol.

    Overall it’s been a very buggy experience for a long time and evidently that’s not about to change anytime soon.




  • The NYPD beat cops aren’t really trained to look for or discover cyber security threats. Additionally, the secret service agents that discovered these were not from Washington but from the local NYC field office, and it was most likely due to heightened security measures surrounding the UNGA visit specifically.

    They weren’t jammers either, they were just sim farms, commonly used for spam calling and other general mid-level cybercrime like that. Think of them as “A bunch of phones”

    The thing is, the importance of this whole event is just being exaggerated, likely to make the Trump admin look good. Like they said these could “take down NYCs cell infrastructure” but they said they only found 100,000 SIM cards total. If every one of those turned on at the same time and tried to overload local infrastructure, it would result in a 1% increase in cell network utilization inside NYC.

    Catholicism isn’t like other Christian sects where you can kinda interpret things your own way. The defining characteristic of the Catholic Church is a rigid adherence to established doctrine.

    If there were somebody out there that didn’t hold confession to the standard that I do, they probably wouldn’t bother going to confession. It’s not something you’re forced to do at regular intervals. Either this hypothetical person believes in the sanctity of confession or they don’t. If they do, they aren’t going to go to confession to tell the priest that they aren’t sorry and are ready to offend again. And if they don’t, there’s no reason for them to go in the first place.

    The only possible third option which is extremely unlikely, is somebody who doesn’t believe in the sanctity of confession, going into a confessional just to not confess at all but boast about their crimes and willingness to do it again. But in that case, they aren’t taking the sacrament, so the priest could report them.

    Your middle school level spiel and circular logic are not getting you anywhere here
