After bro tried to short con the election

Is it on the Arch User Repository?

Maybe all unions in the USA should stop working at all, nationally

So we will have to rebuild it again in four years to remove all the backdoors put in place

Seeing as RCS with encryption based on the MLS standard hasnt been deployed yet, can you show exactly what metadata is leaking?

Actually RCS has encryption in the new spec now, and we could see encrypted RCS messages implemented on iOS and Android within a year.

But even so, use Signal.

If only there was an open source alternative to Android that you could install on any phone.

Signal is a publicly available app that provides encrypted communications, but it can be hacked. It is not approved for carrying classified information. On March 14, one day before the strikes, the Defense Department cautioned personnel about the vulnerability of Signal, specifically that Russia was attempting to hack the app, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

One known vulnerability is that a malicious actor, with access to a person’s phone, can link his or her device to the user’s Signal and essentially monitor messages remotely in real time.

This reads to me like Signal has weaknesses. Also, just so everyone is aware:

The Signal Technology Foundation, commonly known as the Signal Foundation, is an American Non-profit organization founded in 2018 by Moxie Marlinspike and Brian Acton. Its mission is to “protect free expression and enable Secure communication through Open source Digital privacy”.  Its subsidiary, Signal Messenger LLC, is responsible for the development of the Signal messaging app and the Signal Protocol.

Signal is an open-source, encrypted messaging service for instant messaging , voice calls, and video calls . The instant messaging function includes sending text, voice notes, images, videos, and other files. Communication may be one-to-one between users or may involve group messaging.

Signal itself is not vulnerable. This article needs to correct itself. Signal is only vulnerable if the DEVICE THAT USES IT is compromised. Using devices that can be compromised is the issue here. Do not use that device to discuss anything confidential if you are in the government.

This is not Signal’s fault at all.

I dont want you in my device. I dont want your third parties. I have no desire to make my device more vulnerable just so you can install malware on yours. Any open apple device is a risk to my closed apple device.

Learn to take “no” for an answer. Let me enjoy the product and use it as I intended. I don’t use it for you.

The UK is so fucking nosey.

We can agree to disagree. I don’t think apple devices should be opened up at all. If you want an opened up device, look for a different manufacturer.

Thats the thing. I buy apple products for that sole reason rather than use a GrapheneOS device.

I want it locked down. I want it immutable. I want it matching every other device so im not fingerprinted. I want it backing up to the cloud with end to end encryption while syncing with all my other devices. I want it to airplay to my TV. I want it to be a webcam for my macbook. I want it to hold some health data while keeping it out of prying eyes. I want iMessage to end to end encrypt my text messages to other iMessage users.

Why bother getting an iOS device if thats not what you’re after? Their products are some of the most secure devices, with the longest support life. I save money by holding an iPhone for 6 years, versus 3 years with an Android phone.

Listen, I LOVE grapheneOS. Its just not a complete ecosystem yet.

GrapheneOS is how Android should be, but its a solitary experience versus iOS, which harnesses the interplay with other apple devices.

Honestly, fuck security. I want every app on my phone to phone home to other malicious app stores with all my personal data. I want them to install backdoor VPNs that tunnel all my data to a man in the middle. I want them to allow me to jailbreak my phone so I can install permanent rootkits, that way adversaries can reload their botnets even after I factory reset my phone.

On the real, i appreciate Apple for what they’ve done so far. If this happens, ill have to move back to GrapheneOS. Which is fine, but its just so much more time that I have to spend on making the phone work versus working on the phone.

We should force the entire EU to mandate GrapheneOS on all phones. Well see how much they enjoy the experience.

Hes going north because he understands climate change.

Wonder why he doesn’t want Mexico as the 51st state?

Or puerto Rico?

Or anything else South or across an ocean?

They’re working on Obama 2028??

It would be a shame if some foreign actor could monitor Starlink internal networks.

Not entirely true. There is other sandbox software out there (such as firejail, distrobox, docker, chroot, any VM products, etc) although they should also be cautious about claiming to be more secure. Flatpak, however, is not considered a sandbox by some.

Care to explain?
