Those are outside Signal’s scope and depend entirely on your OS and your (or your sysadmin’s) security practices (eg. I’m almost sure in linux you need extra privileges for those things on top of just read access to the user’s home directory).
The point is, why didn’t the Signal devs code it the proper way and obtain the credentials every time (interactively from the user or automatically via the OS password manager) instead of just storing them in plain text?
Then your password (your other, “first” factor) is the only thing preventing an intruder impersonates you.
You’ll still have to go through the hassle the now useless second factor puts you through, so you might as well update your second factor even if you trust your first to be very secure.
It’s also on FDroid
Actually, it doesn’t seem to be there https://search.f-droid.org/?q=futo&lang=en
and available via Obtainium/Github
IDK about obtanium, but IIUC the sources are on their gitlab instance https://gitlab.futo.org/alex/latinime
That sounds a lot like “doesn’t matter what words actually mean. I am right nonetheless”.
…but I’m sure you’ll have some personal definition of “semantics” that will allow you to say you are still right, just like you could say “beggars can’t be choosers” in a context where no one is a beggar and there are in fact lots of viable choices.
If you actually read OP post, they are not asking for the moon and… definitely non “demanding” anything.
IDK about each specific requirement (especially the “inactivity” one, but … dude, just log in every 6 months), but I’d say a lot of “privacy” email providers should meet your needs.
Try looking into Proton mail (warning: you’ll have to setup a local relay if you need IMAP/SMTP) or maybe search the web for something like “privacy email provider free” and look into the results.
It’s pretty easy to find articles confirming the Musk/Signal thing https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=musk+signal&iar=news&ia=news
Of course most of the rest is speculation, but… the article seems honest enough about it?
You should ask the seller to make sure, but I’d assume those cards will require KYC on activation? I mean, if Romania requires KYC it’s difficult to think someone can sell anonymous cards on ebay.
Note that even most “permissive” licenses are by definition conditional
You do realize the whole discussion is about what terms to use for differentiating between GPL-like “restrictive” licenses and BSD-like “permissive” ones? Saying that both are “conditional” really doesn’t help anyone.
(also “by definition” the license’s grants may be “conditional”, not the license itself - it’s not as if it looses validity under some condition)
Man, people do love arguing about words without providing (or looking up) their definitions.
Does the GPL being non “restrictive” mean I can use GPL code in my proprietary software? What word that doesn’t offend you should I use to describe this fact?
This is as useless as the git main/master branch debate a while ago.
but this most likely is against the ToS of every anime tracking website
AFAIK scraping publicly accessible websites is fine in most countries (IANAL, look into it)
You seem to be describing the US system (or some other common law one… but I believe district attorney is a US-specific term?)…
IDK about other EU countries (I guess they are all the same in this regard?), but in my Italy the public prosecutor has zero discretionary power when it comes to indictment and must, per the Italian Constitution, proceed based on the investigation outcomes. So there is no “help me catch the bigger fish and I’ll only charge you with some minor crime” like in the movies.
So… yes, what you describe can happen to anyone, but it can’t happen just anywhere :)
To be fair: previous generations of police officers, back when most people used phones, have made extensive use of wiretapping (and current policemen still do, of course).
Thinkpad A485
I had one of those, but the trackpad occasionally wouldn’t work until I rebooted several times (I was using fedora). Did you run into any similar issue?
Makes perfect sense to me (not a lawyer, not a US person)… what doesn’t make sense is how many people still think biometric is high security (maybe because of how cool they make it look in the movies?)
Err… you are asking that even if I literally said it is world news and complained about the how little relevance the fact has?
Anyways, it seems I must have mistaken the purpose of this community… I have no interest in a twitter-like feed or random low-quality news from all over the world so I’m leaving. Sorry if I’ve been a bother.
It’s part of a greater narrative,
Err… it would look like It’s just an entitled idiot though?
What suggests that this episode be related to this supposed reveal of “zionists” as fascists?
that zionists are starting to remove the façade of civility and acting like the fascist monsters they’ve always been
Is this just your personal impression or do you have any fact/reasoning to back up those statements?
as it becomes increasingly clear people aren’t going to put up with their genocide.
Actually, to me it seems that, if anything, Israel is getting away with vast-scale killing astonishingly easy.
When was the last time anyone last killed that many civilians is such a short time with so little consequences?
Cases likes this are popping up all over the world and it’s only going to happen more and more as they burn what little ground they have.
An article detailing the various cases all over the world would certainly be world-news-worthy. The actions of what seems like a single entitled idiot do not.
BTW:
Right now we don’t need to throw around derogatory (and anachronistic) labels like “zionist” or “fascist” that will only add more heat to an already overheated situation. We need to stop looking backwards in time in search for justifications of our hate and instead try to look forwards to what can be done so that the immediate future be a bit less terrible than the recent past was.
I wouldn’t know what to recommend, but… are you looking for a web based thing or a desktop app?
@mods, this community needs a rule establishing some minimum relevancy threshold. News like the one in this post may technically be “world news” but they would hardly be worth a mention in any non-local newspaper
I don’t see the reasoning in your answer (I do see its passive-aggressiveness, but chose to ignore it).
I asked “why?”; does your reply mean “because lack of manpower”, “because lack of skill” or something else entirely?
In case you are new to the FOSS world, that being “open source” doesn’t mean that something cannot be criticized or that people without the skill (or time!) to submit PRs must shut the fu*k up.
