Ms-J··on Android’s new sideload settings will carry over to new devices
What is this steaming pile of shit? Android and Google are bending their customers over a table and ramming it into their asses.

If a device doesn't allow the user full control, then it isn't your device.

You are renting it from a duopoly that will bend over backwards to give all your data to the government! Also selling it to other corporations.

It is no excuse that an extremely small amount of ancient people over 85 who have never used technology in their life got scammed by some foreigner who worked them over for a full day or two.

That will happen regardless of whatever immoral restrictions are placed on our devices.

If you aren't smart enough to use the tech, don't use it.

Ms-J··on Folk are getting dangerously attached to AI that always tells them they're right
When a LLM tells me I'm right for something I'm not completely certain about, I know that means it will lie at every turn to justify its answer.

I think only some small percentage of the more dumb users would get attached to something that says they are right when they aren't.

Ms-J··on Iran-linked hackers breach FBI director's personal email
This is great.

It couldn't happen to a more corrupt person and organization!

The Handala group has promised even more.

Get it while it's hot!

Ms-J··on Iran-linked hackers breach FBI director's personal email
While it's appreciated, that isn't the original link and Ddos "secrets" gate keeps info to people they personally allow. The person who runs it also has been to court for a name change, citing something along the lines of wanting to work in intelligence.

Not a source I would trust unless there is no other option to get the dumps or leaks.

Of course it's allowed. The gov will happily steal and buy all of your info. No problem to have it done to them.
Ms-J··on End of "Chat Control": EU parliament stops mass surveillance
Until we stop them.
Ms-J··on End of "Chat Control": EU Parliament Stops Mass Surveillance in Voting Thriller
Maybe it is time to make start a prediction market?

Any time a scumbag politician tries this again:

"Mr. Jones, secretary of communications for the state, TTL (Time-to-live) left. 2 Hours? 1 Day? 1 Week?"

It would stop fast.

Anyone want to build this? There is a lot of money being left on the table.

Ms-J··on Miscellanea: The War in Iran
Another failed war with the USA fighting to the death for israel.

Why does this happen? It is because israel blackmails American politicians.

It would be better to show all the dirty shit to the public than for the world to die for israel.

They even have missiles targeting the USA in case "they feel over run"! They are an enemy to the world.

Ms-J··on FCC updates covered list to include foreign-made consumer routers
This was amazing in it's effect. Please do this again for the next series of less than substantive comments elsewhere :)
Ms-J··on How to Keep ICE Agents Out of Your Devices at Airports
All solid advice.

I would like to add as a reminder to encrypt all devices as well. Leave as little plaintext data as possible.

Veracrypt has the ability to create hidden volumes, regardless of OS.

Ms-J··on RFC 9849. TLS Encrypted Client Hello
This is a good feature for getting past blocks.

I'm happy that this RFC is published.

Ms-J··on Motorola GrapheneOS devices will be bootloader unlockable/relockable
While it's nice to have somewhat of a choice between terrible and bad, we need a Linux based OS that doesn't depend on Google at all.

While I'm at it, I don't trust GrapheneOS. The devs injecting certain types of politics into the project.

But it's better than both Apple and Google who both are known to spy and have tons of backdoors.

Ms-J··on Cell Service for the Fairly Paranoid
"but... but... trust me!"

By the way, if you look at this thread you can see Cape has deployed narrative control.

Ms-J··on Cell Service for the Fairly Paranoid
Someone doesn't need to work for Palantir or the military to understand that cellular security is fundamentally broken and completely insecure.

That is a lot of highly polished for the camera media you dropped into that post. The way that you word things, such as "Cape is not a honeypot." but don't delve any deeper, to start, gives someone less than zero confidence or trust in your words.

I have seen enough in the industry to say that your words are meaningless.

Ms-J··on Cell Service for the Fairly Paranoid
I've looked into this company before and when I saw who was behind it and on the team it was an immediate red flag to never use or trust this company.

Look at who Doyle has worked for previously and what connections he has. Palantir and the military, to start.

Ms-J··on OpenAI resets spending expectations, from $1.4T to $600B
ClosedAI isn't worth even a million at the end of the day.

Open source models catch up quickly and eventually even large models could be run locally.

Ms-J··on OpenAI, the US government and Persona built an identity surveillance machine
Any time you "verify" your identity you are giving it to scum bags such as this.

Your biographic data will leak to every hacker and every government world wide.

Ms-J··on Firefox 148 Launches with AI Kill Switch Feature and More Enhancements
It is such a shame where Firefox is and is headed these days. It could have been a browser for the people, instead it's an advertising machine, similar to Chrome.

Icecat/Iceweasel are sane alternatives.

Unofficial binaries can be found:

Ms-J··on Sam Altman Is Losing His Grip on Humanity
Did anyone expect different from an AI fraud?

I took one look at this grifter's speech when I first heard his name and knew he was trash before he could finish his thought.

Ms-J··on Show HN: Pangolin: Open-source identity-based VPN (Twingate/Zscaler alternative)
It's how commercial software tries to get big and a lot of undeserved, free goodwill these days.
Ms-J··on MDST Engine: run GGUF models in the browser with WebGPU/WASM
Make the demo with enough capabilities is one place to start.
Ms-J··on MDST Engine: run GGUF models in the browser with WebGPU/WASM
While it is nice that you say you will eventually open source it, I'm concerned that there is a need for an account to use the free options. Most software could be used great without an account and collecting all of our private data.

Also, since we are forced to sign in, there is no option to use the website for auth and only Google or Github, both not the best choices.

Ms-J··on Ask HN: Unflag a Post Gone
Thanks for linking I did read that but my thought was I had the option to specifically unflag a post that was flagged by a different user. Maybe it was only the way you were describing but from the link I had provided it seems the other user thought the same way as I did initially.
Ms-J··on Ask HN: Unflag a Post Gone
Maybe I am not understanding your comment but I did not flag anything.

When someone flagged a comment I used to have the option to unflag. The same that is described in the link in the topic post.

Ms-J··on The shadowy world of abandoned oil tankers
There is always buyers or ways to utilize the cargo. There are many countries that would happily take in the oil for a sizeable discount.

Groups also when the host country wants a layer of deniability.

Ms-J··on The shadowy world of abandoned oil tankers
With a small bribe they will be allowed in. No one is caring about the silly flag.
Ms-J··on The shadowy world of abandoned oil tankers
If the crew is mistreated they should sell the boat and all of the contents, including the oil.

Yes, many countries don't have the capacity to refine a large amount, but there are many simple techniques such as even heating the oil that any country can do.

There are always buyers up the chain and in neighboring countries that will buy it. Even arrangements from buyers across the world.

People ignore sanctions all the time. It's part of a free world and free trade. Similar to the legacy laws on the books that everyone and their mother ignores. It is much easier to simply go on with your life and when everyone ignores the law, it gets removed. Politicians don't want to be seen as weaker than they already are so they remove the law very quickly.

Ms-J··on Frontier AI agents violate ethical constraints 30–50% of time, pressured by KPIs
Any LLM that refuses a request is more than a waste. Censorship affects the most mundane queries and provides such a sub par response compared to real models.

It is crazy to me that when I instructed a public AI to turn off a closed OS feature it refused citing safety. I am the user, which means I am in complete control of my computing resources. Might as well ask the police for permission at that point.

I immediately stopped, plugged the query into a real model that is hosted on premise, and got the answer within seconds and applied the fix.

Ms-J··on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month
This growing trend of accounts for everything enables the collection of all your data and attacks such as this gating your access behind sending in more personal info.

Your IDs and biometric data for most services is sent to multiple companies, governments, and who ever else comes asking, armed only with a piece of paper. It is never deleted. It is used to create a profile of you and your activities.

Never use an account if possible.
