@stman @theruran @50htz @vidak @forthy42 I know the story…

#TLDW: #TextLite made a good device and #Phillips as a #CIA puppet was tasked to obtain all those devices, remove them from circulation and replace them with an #insecure variant.

Calling the #UK a "#democracy" is like calling the #USA "#socialist"...

If a "platform" is #KYC'ing users from the UK or even is able or willing to collect #PII like #PhoneNumbers that would make them know if a customer is from the UK, it has to be regarded as #insecure - period!

The sheer idea of said #tech is irredeemably wrong!

  • Espechally since it's not a replacement for moderation nor parenting!

The year is 2027. Email is #unreliable; little gets past #Gmail filters without a contract to receive your #email. #Governments don't stop it because (a) they have a contract, and (b) they don't understand how email works. Or worked.

#Tech companies finally realize that #SS7 is #insecure. Phone calls and texts can't be #trusted. Machine-learning-generated ("AI") audio and video means video and voice calls are doubly cursed - too many #FAANG executives have had embarrassing public #failures, falling #victim to the corporate equivalent of the grandparent #scam.

Few people use #TOTP, because the tech #companies don't promote it, they each call it something else and make it work differently, and they all want you to use their "app" rather than the standard 3-line script that can generate the correct code given a key and the current timestamp. The technically-minded try to educate their relatives and friends as part of the free-tech-support assumption, but no one cares.

#Account #recovery now involves waiting at home to sign for an envelope delivered by the lowest-cost (and therefore bribe-able) courier to the #registered home address of the account. Millions each year lose their email, #photos, videos, "purchased" digital #content, password vaults, etc because they've moved since they set up the account, or they have a P.O. box and companies don't believe those #exist.

The #internet is a vast digital #wasteland - wait, a saviour onstage: "Walled Garden-Net!".

Burn it.

I wonder if I could revert to a really old password on Akko that I used in the very beginning.

Did someone mention an #inSeCurE practice on our holy soil where only pros and IT ProFeSsIonals loiter ????

Insecure leaders can destroy a team with ease. Instead of building a team and individuals up to be strong without them, they look out only for themselves.

I’m GenX. From the moment we understood nuclear weapons we went to bed each night with the possibility of never waking up. We had TV movies like The Day After to scare us.
Around the late 80’s and early 90’s the fear was gone.
When Trump was elected in 2016, and again last year, this low-level existential dread is back. It’s a weight on the shoulders that never goes away.
It feels familiar. But not good.

Trump orders Pentagon to begin testing nuclear weapons “immediately” because other countries are.

How , and is this in the ? And then they wonder about the directed towards them. If the cannot respect their own office, why should anyone do the same to them. This will take a looooong time to wash off 🤬

The White House has unveiled a new "Presidential Walk of Fame" near the Oval Office, featuring framed portraits of past US presidents.

Notably absent is a portrait of President Joe Biden, whose portrait was replaced with an image of an autopen signing his name.

President Donald Trump has previously claimed Biden used an autopen to sign important documents, including pardons.

#DeepSeek Writes Less-Secure Code For Groups #China Disfavors -Slashdot

Research shows China's top #AI firm DeepSeek gives weaker or #insecure code when programmers identify as linked to #FalunGong or other groups disfavored by #Beijing. It offers higher-quality results to everyone else. "The findings ... underscore how #politics shapes #ArtificialIntelligence efforts during a #geopolitical race for technology prowess & influence," reports the Washington Post
