1·2 个月前Also if anyone else wrote it, there would be so much savaging of weasel words.
They brag that they don’t retain this data, so when governments request historical data they don’t have it.
They don’t say that they don’t provide it for anyone else to retain, so if they are given the to and from to process the message, and provide this to the CIA to retain then all of this security would be useless but would also fulfill all of the claims here.
No.
We have been exploring techniques to further reduce the amount of information that is accessible to the service, and the latest beta release includes changes designed to move Signal incrementally closer to the goal of hiding another piece of metadata: who is messaging whom.
They haven’t hidden it yet. It’s a goal.
1·2 个月前Are you going to actually tell us what they took down or just give links to a cesspool?
They are referring to message metadata.
Even if they don’t show the content of messages, if they can show that phone number A is sending messages and getting replies to number B then that’s all the government needs.
For the purpose of operating our Services, you agree to our data practices as described in our Privacy Policy, as well as the transfer of your encrypted information and metadata to the United States and other countries where we have or use facilities, service providers or partners.
They store metadata, which is distinct from encrypted data.
Are you saying sealed sender is a lie?

When you send a traditional piece of physical mail, the outside of the package typically includes the address of both the sender and the recipient. The same basic components are present in a Signal message. The service can’t “see into” the encrypted package contents, but it uses the information written on the outside of the package to facilitate asynchronous message delivery between users.
They have a list of encrypted messages, who it’s from and who it’s to, based upon the sealed sender description. If you are using phone numbers then you are not anonymous, and a TLA agency can search known bad numbers even if Signal does not try to build that graph.
Yeah, it’s an interesting difference.
There was a lot of pop culture references in IT Crowd, all the music posters, the retro computers, etc. but the cast didn’t even acknowledge it.
1·3 个月前Do either of them work on the Steam Deck yet?
Last time I tried, last year I think, I couldn’t get the controller to work correctly.
Ha, you think that the backups even arrive to replace/repair? They’ll break down in transit!
That would be amazing. Cybertruck cops? They’ll be letting everyone go when the trucks breaks down.

2·5 个月前That wasn’t the question.
Thats fine if it works for you.
My comment on all of this was purely that Bitwarden password was a single point of failure. Now we can shift that single point of failure somewhere else!
I’m not sure what the solution is.
Find a new single point of failure?
Yes. PlayStation One’s can be had for £25 here.
I would kill for an all in one, “single pane of glass” way to browse
We used to have one, and it was great.
RIP Boxee.
2·5 个月前Go on, I dare you 🤣
“British” isn’t a thing?
Not really, no.
A Scott wouldn’t because it would associate them with England, a Welshman wouldn’t, because it would associate them with England.
And I wouldn’t, because someone might think I’m Welsh or Scottish. 🤷

[Edit] Most countries have pretty bad surveillance. America is unique in projecting bad things on other countries without having any self reflection.

The UK isn’t great, but its not really an outlier compared to anywhere else.
China has at least 200 million cameras installed in the country. … other countries such as the United States and Germany have 50 million and 5.2 million CCTV Cameras each. The list goes on with other countries with more than 1 million cameras. The United Kingdom has 5 million CCTV cameras installed
In fact
The United States has 15.28 CCTV cameras every 100 individuals, followed by China with 14.36 and the United Kingdom with 7.5.
Just because you struggle to have a normal relationship, doesnt mean we all can’t.
