Many messengers did

Every state wants a monopoly on violence. The more powerful the state, the less there are entities that could opress you except the state itself. So it’s not unexpected that the cops would object to have a “competitor” with facial recognition technology

I’ve been doing this for a few years and eventually got tired of whitelisting websites. I’ve went as far as using NoScript for fine-grained control, but what’s the point? If you need a single feature JS, or a single article on a domain, you will let everything run if you grant the permissions, so why bother?

Better keep JS on and run an up-to-date browser with a custom DNS to filter out known malicious websites. Also, don’t visit random links, that’s an actually good advice.

You can do that, but Simplex has a limit on the amount of users in a group due to encryption. There is no point in using an e2ee messenger for public announcements

Tf is LEA? I can’t find any relevant info on what this is.

Upload it to external image hosting solutions, like imgur, instead.

How is IA profitable?

GPay doesn’t work on GrapheneOS IIRC.

😂😂 this is all very funny, bud, but if you make such assumptions without proofs you will quickly go insane.

Inel ME is ridiculously complex for the goal of collecting telemetry. Intel uses drivers for that purpose.

ME is likely used for security. Not yours, though:

1. Security of the company, for example, when someone decides to steal large amount of CPUs or something like that. We’ve seen something similar when a South African shop was robbed of Samsung TVs, which were remotely disabled.
2. National security. Obviously, should a great war break out that would directly confront NATO, the US would be quick to pressure Intel into remotely messing with enemy country’s computers.

Do you have proofs that Intel ME was actually used for tracking?

Will delete your account due to inactivity. Could ask for a phone number in some cases

Woah, easy, man, you’re asking for too much with such requirements

Wait, you’re going to tell me you don’t actually have to serve bloat on a blog like it’s foss? No way!

I think they are talking about this but I don’t exactly see how this is related to the topic
