idk how you spare the effort.

When you’ve been building networked systems for longer than JavaScript has existed, it no longer takes effort to spot design choices that put users at risk. When you’ve watched endless vulnerabilities be exploited over the years, it’s not paranoia, but a real-world problem that impacts real people. At that point, the flaws are impossible to responsibly ignore.

Spreading awareness and showing people how to build safer systems does sometimes get tiring, but I think it’s important.

I love this in principle.

I just wish Mastodon instances were viewable without JavaScript. Opening the door to many types of browser exploit and fingerprinting shouldn’t be required just for reading.

I was told that it was convention to use the highest government title that a person received once they leave government.

I have heard of that convention, but only in formal address (not in journalism or casual conversation). I don’t know if it’s official protocol anywhere or just an urban legend.

In this context, I think it’s important to realize that he is not the president, that he was impeached twice, and that he is a convicted felon. His opinion does not and should not be given the same weight as that of The President of the United States.

Also, I don’t see any reference to him at all in the article. It looks like OP is editorializing.

Last time I read something from her on the topic, she seemed to like Shenzhen too much to want to get out.

That was before things took a turn in her life, though. I wonder if that has changed.

Matrix is probably the closest to Discord overall. If Element is bugging out on you, it might be worth trying other clients. Nheko worked well when I tried it, for example. Do note that the matrix.org homeserver is sometimes overloaded, so if you’re having responsiveness issues, choosing or running a different homeserver will probably clear them right up.

Mumble.info is great for voice. If your text chat needs are pretty basic, it might be a good fit. I don’t think it saves message history.

XMPP is a protocol, not an app. If you you saw an interface you didn’t like, you could always just use a different client. I don’t usually recommend it, since setting it up with all the features people usually expect is a bit complicated and error-prone, but it would probably be fine among a small group of friends if one of them has tech skills. I don’t think it offers voice, at least not in any widely-supported way.

I’m not certain of what they meant, because I haven’t met them and can’t read minds. Obviously, I’m being charitable with my assumptions about details that are both unknowable and irrelevant to my point.

Stop blocking for cops.

You sound just like an aggressive cop’s catchphrase: “Stop resisting.”

Maybe you should stop willfully misinterpreting people’s words and slinging accusations.

Okay, Henny Penny. Now that we see your judgment of major threats is worthless (and your motivations entirely profit-driven self-interest) we know that we should ignore you when you scream that the sky is falling.

If you want to sell more anime, improve your service or lower your price.

I hope we as a society will start teaching new parents that they shouldn’t rely on child development advice from a single person, especially one with limited knowledge and experience in that area. Raising humans is complicated, and as with many things, the pitfalls are often invisible unless you’ve run into them before.

I assume the detective constable meant well when offering guidance, but it’s important to consider the source when evaluating guidance, and be a little skeptical when it comes from someone whose qualifications and incentives don’t directly apply.

Tux is my copilot, and never tries to be a back-seat driver.

Why not link the original source?

Was this article funded by a would-be surveillance state? If not, I wonder what David Gilbert’s headline will be when he learns that roads, telephones, postal services, and conference halls are also used by neo-nazis.

Source code mirrors, since the code is legal: (This is not a case of copyright infringement.)

https://git.naxdy.org/Mirror/Ryujinx

https://git.l7y.media/mirrors/Ryujinx

The commit hashes on both of these mirrors match the official ones at least until March 2024 (v1.1.1217). I can’t vouch for the more recent commits that extend through today (v1.1.1403), but the two mirrors do at least match each other. Another user has confirmed that these hashes match his clone of the official repo through 2024-09-24.

Warning: A zip file in the ryujinx_202410 subdir of https://archive.org/download/ claims to have the full git history, but the hashes do not match the original source repo. It’s possible that the mismatch is an artifact of some accident, rather than malice, but I would avoid it just in case.

Reminds me of a recent Disney case:

It bothers me that we as a society continue to surrender our agency, our rights, and even our well-being to whatever restrictions a corporation makes up to benefit itself, just because they’re in a (practically unavoidable) terms & conditions document.

It’s getting so bad that people sometimes mistake corporate policies for law, crying “that’s illegal” if someone steps outside the bounds of a software license.

Adding insult to injury, enforcement of these things is paid for by us, through taxes.

From the gbatemp.net article:

UPDATE #3: According to an official statement on Ryujinx’s Discord server, developer gdkchan was contacted by Nintendo and they were offered an agreement to stop working on the emulator project, and while the agreement wasn’t confirmed yet, the organization has been entirely removed.

I think it happened more than a few years ago. US citizens might want to see about overturning Citizens United.

I continue to be impressed by how far we’ve come in algorithmically imitating forces of nature. If you like this stuff, have a look at the EmberGen demo clips

Good question. Please see my follow-up comment.

Not putting your WiFi password in would absolutely be reliable.

No, it would not.

I’d love to hear your ideas on how they’d remotely break into your WiFi Network

They wouldn’t, of course, nor did I say they would.

(But since you brought it up, we have already seen internet providers quietly using their CPE to create special-purpose wireless networks surrounding customers’ homes. These could obviously be made available to any company that paid the ISP for access, just as cellular networks have been made available to companies like OnStar. So a TV could do this with a business deal rather than breaking in to your normal WiFi.)

However, your network is not the only network in the world, and WiFi is not the only kind of link. Neighbors exist. Open guest networks exist. Drive-by and fly-by networks exist. Mesh networks exist (and are already created by devices like Amazon Echo). Power line networking exists. Bluetooth, LoRa, cellular, etc. etc. etc. Maybe you live on an isolated mountain top where these things are unlikely to reach you (at least until satellite links become a little smaller and cheaper) but even that is not absolute, and most of us don’t.

Unless you disassemble your TV and examine all the components within, and know what they do, it could have any number of these capabilities.

Also, partly due to how prevalent multi-network support is becoming in electronics integration, it is not unusual for related functionality to be dormant at first yet possible to activate later.

I’d love for you not to be adversarial, and to learn more about a topic before making bold claims about it in absolute terms.

Friendly reminder that gaming console monitors, computer monitors, projectors, dumb TVs, and commercial displays exist.

Yes, I could hack a smart TV to disable its networking capabilities. (Merely withholding my wifi password is not reliable.) But that would still be showing the manufacturers that I find spyware TVs acceptable, and supporting the production of those models.

Also, this would be a good time to pressure our legislators into criminalizing this nonsense.
