- Comment on Twenty-seven states and DC sue 23andMe to oppose the sale of DNA data from its customers without their direct consent 1 hour ago:
Uhh yes, sorry. I had it the other way around. Perhaps a native american then raped/had child with a caucasian, who kept the child?
- Comment on An analysis of X(Twitter)'s new XChat features shows that X can probably decrypt users' messages, as it holds users' private keys on its servers 15 hours ago:
The third paragraph contradicts your other point. You define E2EE in two wildly different ways.
The chat messages are most likely stored on an intermediary server, which would qualify for the same loophole you pointed out in the cloud storage example.

No, the other ancestors are all native American. Obviously the child stayed in the native to community.
- Comment on Xitter Pause Encrypted DMs. 1 week ago:
There may be several reasons for this. If I had to guess, they found a critical flaw and had to shut it down for security reasons.

Does it have to be sponsored though?

Just to be the devil’s advocate here: There are way more settings now than back then. That interface wouldn’t cut it either.

It doesn’t really explain the part where artificially making the pizza more expensive is somehow a payback.

It just changes the user agent instead…

- Comment on Why can't we go back to small phones? 3 months ago:
I think people don’t want specialised tools, they want one tool they can always have with them. We can see the decline of computer use (and literacy) as a consequence of this. Many young people don’t use computers much, if at all.
- Comment on Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data 3 months ago:
I would definitely call that selling my data. The recipient can now add that to my profile as an interest.

Also, Brave has really shitty features like redirecting referral codes.

Good point. Touché.

As a third party I don’t think we should blame America for the genocide in Gaza. We should blame Israel. We are all complicit (and way worse of course being a sponsor) by not calling it out.

- Comment on Norwegian government to set 15-year age limit for using social media 7 months ago:
Not if you ask them but taking the time to design a system that isn’t reliant on a strong client (and then open sourcing it) would probably be more secure, and obviously more inclusive.
For instance, I’m very eager to switch to a lknux phone but having blockers like this is forcing me to stay on Android, even though I am sick and tired or the enshittification.
- Comment on Norwegian government to set 15-year age limit for using social media 7 months ago:
Or even run the app as is on a “non-compliant” os - like a rooted android.
- Comment on Norwegian government to set 15-year age limit for using social media 7 months ago:
What I meant was that the phone operating system has SDKs (e.g. google services on android) which the app uses to make sure it hasn’t been tampered with, which makes it even harder to make an open source client.
It’s the opposite of supplying an SDK for third party developers.
- Comment on Norwegian government to set 15-year age limit for using social media 7 months ago:
They are using the phone SDKs to verify that BankID was correctly installed, much like any other client side DRM.
