Hey I work in cyber security. Just because an app has a backdoor doesn’t mean that the backdoor can be accessed by anyone. Accessing this backdoor would likely mean compromising meta themselves, not just the app or its communications.


If they can achieve similar results without the subscription I think they might consider moving over. That being said I’ve seen what companies pay to use Microsoft shit lmao.


Same! Them using markdown means I’ve been able to make an Obsidian-like app for Wear OS, with a phone app to sync your vault to the watch. Wouldn’t have been possible if they weren’t using markdown. Hoping to launch it on the Google Play store in a month or so :)


Agreed 👍


I assume it’s people making (hopefully consensual) POV videos.


That’s fair enough. If you lead with this I wouldn’t have commented. I agree his recent videos have been more sensationalist, I just thought this one was pretty good, especially for the non-technical crowd.


I think you’re being pretty reductive here.
I agree his videos are usually mediocre, but as a cyber security professional I actually think this one did a good job of simplifying and explaining computer security fundamentals at a level that most can understand.
You and I have a ton of extra context that the average person does not, so that Wikipedia article might suffice, but the video covers far more than that Wikipedia article.
They clearly did more research than just reading that article, and they went to the trouble of reproducing some of the steps in the attack to demonstrate the danger it posed. This isn’t just a brainless regurgitation of the Wikipedia article as you’re implying.


Land of the free lmao


Yeah GrapheneOS is open source bro. Probably doesn’t have full compatibility with your phone if I had to guess. That’s really not a like-for-like comparison to iOS.


Really depends which spin of Android you have. I have a Nothing Phone 2 and the OS is arguably more polished than on my SO’s iPhone 14, which frequently has bugs, lag, and crashes. You can’t really generalise about Android when there are so many versions of it.
That being said I’ll probably be looking into Linux phones in the next few years because I’m tired of corporations trying to control my devices.


AI can already “find” the solution. They’re not listening to it because they’re looking for a magic pill that solves it without needing to change anything. We’re fucked.


Was trying to get a friend to switch to jellyfin the other day and it turns out he’s got a weird Hisense projector that uses VIDAA OS, which does not have a jellyfin app, but DOES have a Plex app. I imagine setups like this are probably limiting Jellyfin’s adoption. VIDAA is actually less niche than I thought as well, heaps of cheap-ish TVs and projectors are running it.


Yes, I’m sure failing to defend democracy will result in it being eroded. Of course people can use this to their own personal advantage and claim democracy is at stake when it is not. Voters need to be well informed to discern whether those claims are legitimate, or not.


I don’t think anyone reads “X ban” as sending people to offshore “entertainment” facilities. Lol.


Democracy: good. Destroying democracy: bad. Still too specious for you?


VPNs exist. All blocking of websites is just a slight inconvenience at the end of the day.


Because we have to defend democracy or it will be eroded. We should not stand by idly as misinformation and corporate interests continue to cripple it. Just because people are voting against their best interests does not mean they are no longer their best interests.


Come on man, you know they didn’t mean it literally 💀
Hahahahaha no. damage the robotaxis? straight to jail.
