Thanks for posting, I was struggling to find the cause of our downtime.

How do we know they're low-level? Could you show the image?

I’m talking about Apple.
scottmf··on Hackers take over prominent Twitter accounts in simultaneous attack
I assume each of his tweets have to be approved manually by some employees somewhere considering a hacker could start a war with his account.

Would make sense to have something like this for @jack, too — could explain why his bio was changed but he didn't tweet.

My crazy theory: the real attack is on the Twitter stock price and the bitcoin is a distraction.

And then FB will ban your app.

Yes. FB will block your app for implementing FB sign in on iOS/Android without their SDK.

Oh that’s great, thank you. Hopefully Apple will take it a step further somehow.

Apple needs to promote a simple solution to switch your Spotify/whatever account from FB login to the privacy-focused Apple login.

Obviously it would require app developers to implement, but Apple has a lot of power here.

Heavy restrictions on how apps use third party SDKs for signing in, forcing FB to change its policy of requiring the SDK for native apps which use FB to sign in.

And then reject new app updates which don’t follow the new rules.

Or just outright ban this spyware.

Seems to me like Apple needs to intervene here.

Even ignoring the privacy concerns, this is unjustifiable.

scottmf··on Nitter: Alternative Twitter Front-End
For me this is much slower than the native-app-like speed of the actual mobile twitter website.

How much longer is this anti-JS ideology going to dominate HN?

scottmf··on Google Cloud Is Having IO Issues in US-EAST1
We use Discord as an interface for moderating our app and monitoring spam/reported content so this kinda sucks. Not super important though.

>People in this thread are way overly negative.

That's most of HN these days, and why I never visit anymore.

Apart from the security concerns this actually looks awesome.

scottmf··on Gatwick drones pair 'no longer suspects'
Considering how well organized the attack seems to have been, I assume those behind it know a lot about airports/drones.

I wonder if it could be a government researcher worried about a lack of funding/preparation for this kind of attack (similar to the FBI's conclusion regarding the anthrax attacks)?

It doesn't seem like a protest, so unless it's economic terrorism or a state-backed attack, what else is it likely to be? A former pilot with a grudge?

Ah, the perfect protest. Where no one knows what you're protesting!
