It’s nice, reliable and super quick to on board people since no sign up required. Technology seems interesting and novel, and it’s also transparent since it even shows the node path (in addition to being FOSS)
Do I trust it? No, but I don’t trust technology in general
Yeah, watch the network traffic from Teams and kind hard not to think of them as data harvesters. In a day, there are close to a hundred servers involved that will leave your country for no functional reason
Is this teaching us not to dual boot and to have separate devices?
It can write really buggy Python code, so… Yeah, seems promising
100%. I think most university degrees are for the social aspect, which is not to be ignored
Many courses are free and books can be purchased outside of university
Thanks. Yeah it’s difficult to search for and request sometimes (cookies, or JS required), so why I was asking if others might have it
Individual financial cost has nothing to do with my comment
“College is needed” comments are so weird in a field that can be done on an island with a solar battery. CS isn’t medicine or engineering, and the field is so young that requiring a “formal education” most likely will have negative effects of teaching poor practices that are not up to date
Any archive link?
This project looks very cool, I hope it comes to be
Thanks for the suggestion
Yeah their signatures and shasums are hosted on github. They’re a small team, which is probably why they rely on it
Here’s their android one at least https://github.com/oxen-io/session-android/releases
Yes, but I think the only clients are from Session themselves currently. All platforms, all independent and can have multiple accounts. Everything encrypted by default (and no way to send clear text)
Check out Session, built on Lokinet, no signups
Google owns Nest, it’s just a guess since we know they train AI on this data
We don’t post in the language. They don’t speak the language. I specifically study only offline and rarely have a cellphone on me. I only speak it in person to strangers since I’m too shy to speak to any friends who speak it and we have no new friends who speak it
Assume I performed my opsec properly, how could they get this information?
Yeah, so a mitigation would be to remove the GSM chip and be WiFi only, with a Faraday cage to ensure the WiFi is not on by accident or the software is backdoored. Also would need to remove the mic and speakers to avoid any cross chatter
But at that point might as well just have a laptop with external WiFi only
So your theory is the there is no opsec if any cellphones or anything with GPS are involved?
What I’m saying is I don’t have an internet profile like they do. I have never researched this language on the internet and have only purchased books for it in cash without a cellphone on me, so this specific overlap is weird
I’m not saying “oh wow, the NSA has a profile on me, how??”, I’m saying, I have kept this specific data private from my direct internet connection, how are the data brokers targeting family member devices
Most hotels are terrible and even block any DNS configurations that aren’t controlled by them. If you do figure out a way, can you update your original post?
