Precisely why I use as open hardware as I can, which isn’t much in the world of phones : (

- Comment on Microsoft Authenticator now warns to export passwords before July cutoff 1 day ago:
I’m not talking about standard breaches. I’m talking about security laziness. If you want to trust them, go for it. As for me, I choose to distrust their security practices due to their long history of security laziness and neglect, that continues to this day.

Not speaking about the evil empire bit at all, actually (though they are). More so of the security aspect. They’re known for cutting corners on security to the point that their security neglect has created the situations needed to cause some of the greatest security vulnerabilities worldwide. Read up on EternalBlue as a good segue.

- Comment on In 3.5 years, Notepad.exe has gone from “barely maintained” to “it writes for you” 1 week ago:
I actually did use WordPad occasionally, but it wasn’t a huge loss for me, since LibreOffice does this. LO is just too overpowered for a quick RTF edit, so I used WordPad. Besides work, I only windows for a specific usecase, not as a daily, but it was still annoying.

- Comment on In 3.5 years, Notepad.exe has gone from “barely maintained” to “it writes for you” 1 week ago:
They don’t need notepad for that. They control your entire OS, and all inputs. All they need to do, is capture all inputs (which they already do and package it all nicely as Recall). They’re using notepad as just a user-facing justification for the spying they do throughout the rest of the OS.

Counterpoint:
In 3.5 years, Notepad.exe has gone from “perfect text-only editor” to “ai-laden spyware/malware”
- Comment on Microsoft renames "Remote Desktop" to "Windows App". Good luck googling for any help or troubleshooting it. 1 week ago:
Mainframe for the home user, with all files on their servers and, thus, controlled by them. That’s always been their goal, but the tech just didn’t exist until recently.

- Comment on Back up off my nuts 3 weeks ago:
Yes, I’m aware they’re real humans, but blasting someone, who specifically requests not to be blasted, with 10 texts a day, is emotional and mental abuse, and the human doing this is not a person a would ever respect (while I wish them no harm). I see these organizations only a couple notches above those asshole scammers. And it’s because they’re real humans that the berating actually works.
Also, I should clarify what I mean as ‘berating’ in this context: a simple “fuck off” or “who the fuck are you and why the fuck are you texting me?!”. I do not mean that you should go calling them slurs or the like. Don’t insult the person, only be extremely hostile in your response.
- Comment on Back up off my nuts 3 weeks ago:
Berate them with “foul language”. Depending on the country, they will mark your number as hostile, and it will be removed from their contact list. Since they share lists, this will propagate to other lists, as well.
- Comment on Here's the source code for the unofficial Signal app used by Trump officials 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, that would make sense. But this is not the right use case for Signal at all. In fact (and I know I’m preaching to the choir), it defeats Signal’s use case in many ways. I don’t even know what they’re trying to accomplish with this.
- Comment on Here's the source code for the unofficial Signal app used by Trump officials 4 weeks ago:
I archive my signal chats. But, I guess, they need an automatic way to do that. They should ask their precious Grok or whatever tf it’s called.
- Comment on Here's the source code for the unofficial Signal app used by Trump officials 4 weeks ago:
Why not just use the official signal app, if you’re going to use it at all?

Only 5 minutes of uninterrupted adverts? They said 30 minutes. Liars.
