Showing these flaws is the grammarians duty. And it’s a big duty.



Sad to say but LMGTFY is no longer a sure bet.





Talks about other people creating FUD, then links to a post asserting telegram is compromised without citing any sources about anything discussed in the post. 🙄 FUD indeed.


You can get an unencrypted hdmi out by using a splitter. I do this to record video with camlink. This is the splitter I use between a dedicated device like a firetv and the camlink: https://a.co/d/clpveZh


It’s almost like the gov should replace the SSN system with something that addresses modern security concerns.



We’re acutely aware of the privacy implications

Yes, I bet they are. I bet their monetization strategy is “pay us to do the shameful dirty work.”


It’s fucking absurd that it’s 2023 and SMS still costs money on mobile plans that also have internet.

SMS messages take less than 150 bytes of data. It’s hard to even explain how little data that is compared to everything your phone does that is IP based. With ATM and Ethernet, just the TCP and IP frame overhead is over 50 bytes, and TCP requires 3 packets just to start a socket, so you can literally send a max length SMS message in about the same data as the TCP overhead of an idle connection. Yet they charge people per message. If you were charged for every TCP socket setup your phone made you’d go bankrupt*.

*not really, that was figurative hyperbole.


LOL, if you block ads they’ll hide a message from one of your friends that you never would have seen anyway because it would’ve been buried in ads.

I think this is good though. I think this is just what a lot of people need to get them off FB. I mean… have you tried surfing the www without an ad blocker? I’d rather not use the www.


that falls under the duty of the page I’m visiting to keep their stuff secure - and while I’m very unhappy about some recent practices¹ I’d more for documenting and battling it out in court, if necessary.

You seem to be ok letting others take responsibility for the security of your online accounts, and want to turn security shortcomings into legal justice. If that works for you then that’s fine, but it’s not good security.
