Oh my goodness, the stupidity is off the charts

The fight is over whether Apple must officially break into their code in the normal way

It doesn’t preclude a back door

There could be a backdoor exploit program so people can acess the phones and see everything in them through the cellular modem in certain parts of the government.

If other parts of the government were not privy to this, they could get into an argument in open court about breaking their “privacy” generally

Do you think if there was a gag order the lawyer representing Apple would write “But wait, this is an irrelivant debate because there’s actually another backdoor exploit?”

Some of these phines could have been in airplane mode also making 1 type of exploit not usable.

You do not know what the fuck you are talking about at all.

Do you think an attorney for Apple is going to go into a court and say “The secret court made us put a baxkdoor into this part of tge phone, so why are we even arguing about this?” Such a lawyer would be jailed. You are incredibly naive and your reasoning is mostly “but Apple said so”

The code is closed source.

Removed by mod

They don’t need to incur a benefit. If the government contacta their legal department with an order saying we need to talk to your developers in charge of iOS as part of a court order, they are required to do it and can face jail and fines if they don’t comply.

If the government says “don’t say there’z an exploit” it’s not going to be disclosed in their policy and they will be protected for lying by omission if a court is requiring that.

What is their motive? Avoiding contempt.

Are you this naive about closed source code or the power of jails and fines to persuade people to lie? How would this threaten their business model? How would anyone know about the exploit given their code is closed source and law enforcement regularly use parallel construction? No one can audit the code. Do you know what closed aource code is or how a gag order works?

This is an irrelevant and stupid comment. If Apple is required by a gag order not to disclose an exploit, their legal policy would not violate the gag order.

You think if they did build an exploit after a demand they would write about it in their legal notices? That’s just dumb.

That’s bullshit. They would be insulated from that since they were required to put in exploits. The government doesn’t say “You are required to do A B C” and then let people sue over A B or C.

This view is incredibly naive. If a backdoor exploit was added by one group of developers who did the code for the cellular modem and network parts of the operating system, there would only be certain people aware on a need to know basis. You could have other ignorant law enforcement officers unaware of the exploit making demands in court as well as Apple’s legal department fighting requests and the exploit is still there. It is incredibly naive and frankly stupid to be believe that a lack of a leak about closed source code means probably an exploit like that doesn’t exist. Demanding proof with closed source code, gag orders, and large development teams, only some of whom could know about an exploit and gag order, is just not really being realistic.

Are websites often implementing all creepsjs tequniques? It seems like if standard identifiers were enough they wouldn’t add in more just because minimal benefit relative to extra effort.

Does TLS fingerprinting do more than fingerprint browser type?

Any screen is unique based on manufacturing process. Resolution not unique does not mean canvas fingerprint is not unique. You are wrong. Nothing special does not block canvas fingerprinting attempts.

This is naive and inaccurate because unique screens have unique canvas fingerprinting. Youre giving people bad info.

Sorry, I was being sarcastic and joking and didn’t realize the phrase was highly connected recently with a right-wing racist piece of trash. I try to ignore what she says because she’s such an idiot and so no, I didn’t get it.

You know how matter changes from solid to liquid to gas at certain points? I believe there are phase changes in ecology and environmental habitability and sometimes things seem fine and suddenly they aren’t.

At the risk of sounding prejudiced and offensive, the norse are a very smart and sexy group of people, so perhaps I am wrong in not accepting your illogical and sexy perspective?

I just think 1 variable of change is not the correct barometer of “how close are we to the ecological abyss?”

I’ve never listened to Marjorie Taylor-Greene.

Although I know there are racist conspiracy theories, it doesn’t mean all conspiracy theories are racist.

You have to get past the racism and flat-earthers to get to the REAL good conspiracy theories. Some of them end of being false, but some seem to be true. Either way they become more interesting.

Any Havanna Syndrome inflicted on Biden would likely be done by Russia and would be unrelated to Jewish people. Russia is the one with the most to gain from Biden losing, especially since the conspiracy theory is Trump is a Russian agent.

What is your proof that it’s not space lasers?

Why is this shocking? Havana Syndrome is blatantly real.

Seems possible.

Die mart. I would be curious to know if the title was just beijg edgy.

Remember, if youre from Florida, don’t say climate change when discussing this… or else!

The packages in Debian are really old. It’s awful.

I was looking at my xzutils package the other month. “So outdated,” I thought, envying the cool hip trendy Arch users.

You may be right.

Are those computers running windows? That’s a very inaccurate AI.

Others are occluding discourse by banning discussion as misinformation to control all narratives, then acting as though conspiracy theorists weren’t correct. This narrative control is from an elite whose lies are vast enough to occlude the sun.
