@ted @rysiek @h3artbl33d ignore upstream hostility, fork the code. signal is GPL, the right to fork is explicitly permitted by them in the license.

@ted @gytis @rysiek @h3artbl33d @PINE64 signal's policy is irrelevant. the client is GPL. you can fork it and talk to signal servers just like you can fork chromium and talk to google servers.

@newt @clacke @Moon schneier is a regulatory bootlicker, sadly. he should know better than to be surprised by a cypherpunk doing cypherpunk things.

ITT: people who think Signal isn't already used constantly for sending cryptocurrency addresses around

i'm surprised that people are surprised that an extremely effective and famous cypherpunk is behaving in cypherpunk ways (specifically using cryptography and privacy to bypass legacy state prerogatives). schneier should know better.

flagged off of HN almost as soon as it was posted.

who is this person accusing?

reminder: the airlines are entirely amoral:

"Airlines for America, the trade group for the nation’s major carriers, opposes making proof of vaccination mandatory for air travel but would like a clean, easy way for travelers to show their status. "

@sebx2a the lying about masks. the bureaucratic delays in getting out the vaccine. not preventing in-person gatherings in homes. the delays in closing bars and restaurants and gyms. reopening bars and in-person dining and gyms and churches too soon.

this is a good take:

@sebx2a i don't think that's remotely close to the biggest mistake during the pandemic.

@x my writing on HN and my website. they've also plagarized USENIX articles.

does anyone know what com.apple.transparencyd does? strings on the binary, snooping in its sqlite file, and the manpage are all no help.

Be advised: @anonypla@mastodon.online is plagiarizing my work as well as the work of others on their webpage, and soliciting financial donations with the output. This is unethical (and probably illegal in some jurisdictions).

almost all of the other protected classes are innate traits. religious beliefs are a personal choice, and should not be a protected class.

@surfingalot etrade also has mobile app 2fa, but it's some proprietary symantec garbage and not standard TOTP and i'm not installing any proprietary 2FA app on my phone.

@jackyan yup, for managed chrome browsers via g suite

@newt it me

etrade supports hardware 2fa. oh, not like that, no - it's a keychain thing that displays a numeric code, like the RSA tokens from the 2000s. you have to buy one and they ship it to you. totally phishable.

turning on Advanced Protection means opting in to additional surveillance by google.
