Verifica sviluppatori su Android: KDE sostiene Keep Android Open contro lo stop alle app fuori Play Store!

#KDE supporta Keep Android Open contro la verifica obbligatoria degli sviluppatori: dal 2026 (in Italia dal 2027) l’installazione di app su Android certificato richiede registrazione e identità accertata.

Good News! 🚨👀

I am delighted to finally announce today what I've been working on in the past few weeks:

Privacy Guides' new Activism section! :awesome:
https://privacyguides.org/activism/

The Activism section offers a new way to empower the digital rights community. It will progressively grow with more tools to support the community in its privacy activism effort, both for individuals and organizations 💛

As Privacy Guides' new Activism & Outreach Lead, I will be working hard on developing this section even further in the coming weeks, adding many more tools to support our community.

I hope this can be a helpful resource for anyone who is ready to fight for privacy rights ✊🔒

Also, can't remember a time listening to a #BehindTheBastards episode where Robert and Sophie sounded so tired and disgusted.

The amount of power and influence Epstein
had is disturbing. So many people and institutions involved. It's surreal.

Not to rehash "the left has no liberal Joe Rogan" discourse but, listing to this episode reminded me—oh yeah, billionaires don't like funding things that call out billionaires. But they'll throw money at an anti-trans podcast (like Epstein did).

So the left relies on small donations to people we think are spreading the gospel. I suspect the donations get smaller the further left you go because centrist and some libs also don't like certain ideals out there.

@soatok I am truly baffled that someone who considers themselves an engineer — a CRYPTOGRAPHIC engineer! — would read “the value MUST be between x and y” and consider it not their implementation’s responsibility to enforce but the user’s

Also, the 48 Laws of Power book has been devastating to corporate culture. It reinforces "main character" syndrome, and has everyone reenacting their own personal House of Cards episode.

It's like, you sell boat insurance, my child. The stakes couldn't be lower. Stop Niccolo Machiavelli-ing me over Outlook.

Whichever MBA course taught a whole generation of business people that brevity in email equals power and status, should be abolished. Whoever wrote that course should be tarred and feathered.

The nature of my business allows me to work with many different corporate offices over two decades. I can confidently say that communication has gotten worse over the years.

Everyone is trying to be a boss by sending one word emails. No one is communicating.

I am now being informed that in this -- The Year of our Linux Desktop 2026 -- it is impossible to take an arbitrary UTF-8 string and render all of the characters in it.

You just can't get there from here.

Good to know.

You also need to consider that the reporter in question is one of the more credulous pro-"AI" reporters around and whose coverage has been so PR-laden in the past that I know people who stopped reading Ars Technica specifically because of him (and maybe their super pro-Musk rocketry reporter).

"Ars Technica Fires Reporter After AI Controversy Involving Fabricated Quotes"

https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/ars-technica-fires-reporter-ai-quotes

Seeing a lot of people assume that this reporter got fired for making one mistake during a sick day, something most people could see themselves doing

I think it's safe to assume that the reporter's version of events downplayed his culpability to a substantial degree

@rusty__shackleford @soatok ROFLSTOMP!

The documentation clearly states that if the user supplies a string longer than MAX_PASSWORD_LEN, the buffers will overwrite system memory with the contents of the password, allowing remote shell access. This is not a bug, and changing it would mean I would have to write code. Plus I already wrote the docs.

@soatok Someone mentioned libhydrogen as what you would use if you considered using monocypher, and I'd like to point out: Reading libhydrogen's code, they have very simple input validation that would be easily replicable here, and yet the developer says "No, it would break portability to check" ?????

Libhydrogen is portable, so ？？？？？

And that's the really scary/upsetting thing.

Meta controls the entire tech stack, from data center, to fiber optic cables, computation, and software. Everything *except* consumer hardware.

If Meta can achieve market dominance on whatever the next iPhone will be, they'll have complete control over many peoples' lives.

Worse than what Apple has because glasses are a portal into our real lives. We are crossing over the horizon from logged-life to lived life.
