CommanderData··on Australia begins enforcing world-first teen social media ban
Scrolled too far to find this. It is largely about the points you made.
CommanderData··on GrapheneOS is the only Android OS providing full security patches
If you've run a open source project almost of any size, it's quite a task having to support it on various devices scenarios.

The GrapheneOS devs are doing the right thing for the longevity of the project. Focus on a small number of phones/hardware. It guarantees its long term success.

Excellent work I think, also the Pixel hardware design offers slightly better security with the baseband.

CommanderData··on GrapheneOS is the only Android OS providing full security patches
Pixel's design makes a good candidate for GrapheneOS or a secure OS in general.

The baseband hardware is not integrated the same way like other phones are.

CommanderData··on GrapheneOS is the only Android OS providing full security patches
Although I don't use it I will be supporting the project. I'm quite proud of what they've achieved so far.
CommanderData··on Unreal Tournament 2004 is back
Amazing, more companies need to do this.

Separately it's a shame most modern games have removed LAN gaming.

CommanderData··on X.com is gonna snitch you out to the public if you use a VPN
Wasn't there something about DHS's account originating in Israel? Suprised it's not being discussed here.
CommanderData··on Israeli-founded app preloaded on Samsung phones is attracting controversy
I mean the world takes the view Israel is occupying and slowly invading more regions of Palestine.

I didn't make it up, the Balfour declaration makes it pretty clear, so if you're upset natives are attacking you what's your point exactly.

Anyway, point is Israel has almost always lied throughout it's genocide against Palestinians. The IOF has lied or distorted the truth in almost every statement, one which always comes to mind is the attack on the Christian hospital.

The Israeli government are liars, they have a whole online army dedicated to misinformation and the 5 D's. For them lying is just another effective weapon of war which must be utilised.

CommanderData··on YouTube erased more than 700 videos documenting Israeli human rights violations
Facebook have a Zionist censorship team.

YouTube probably has far worse.

All US social media are bound to US foreign policy which enables Israel to continue it's invasion and systematic cleansing of Palestinians.

CommanderData··on Zohran Mamdani wins the New York mayoral race
GBnews has been unrelenting and it's frankly worked to turn non-Londoners against London and Khan.

It's disgusting they're allowed to vilify him so much without any accountability.

CommanderData··on Hacking India's largest automaker: Tata Motors
Having worked with Indian consultancy firms for over 10 years. I can safely say security attitudes and practices haven't changed much.

There's always this culture of taking shortcuts at the expense of security and quality.

CommanderData··on YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs
Is Windows 10 LTSC a thing still?
CommanderData··on Tell HN: Azure outage
Likely behind Azure Front Door.

Much of Xbox is behind that too.

CommanderData··on Show HN: Helium Browser for Android with extensions support, based on Vanadium
Excellent, please make sure you push for financial support in your project.

Kiwi was a great browser but has since shutdown. Android needs something like Kiwi that also has a steady income to support itself in future.

CommanderData··on ICE Will Use AI to Surveil Social Media
Lovely words straight out of Israel's fan fiction.

It's as if all pro-Israel bots and fan accounts are reading the exact same guide.

I should write an AI to find them all.

CommanderData··on Synology hurries out patches for zero-days exploited at Pwn2Own
Ah Synology's DSM, packaged with things that are outdated or EOL. Docker being one of them, EOL by about a year.
CommanderData··on GrapheneOS is ready to break free from Pixels
Cool but isn't the appeal of Pixels it's baseband security model/USB

https://security.googleblog.com/2024/10/pixel-proactive-secu...

I don't have all the links to post here but I recall this being a big factor.

CommanderData··on Android's sideloading limits are its most anti-consumer move
Play Store has an attestation API, Google could simply make it harder to run banking apps and similar if you run GrapheneOS. Something like requiring banking apps to use a stricter mode. GrapheneOS even mentions it's not easy spoofing this entirely as it change often on the FAQ page.

There's only so much you can do as a maintainer of a custom OS like Graphene before its too hard to maintain. I don't think there's enough coming in by way of donations to play catch-up.

Need legislation quick. But I suspect the EU doesn't want side loading either in the grand scheme of surveillance.

CommanderData··on How Israeli actions caused famine in Gaza, visualized
No Hamas in West Bank but everyday invaders come and push natives from their homes.

CommanderData··on People got together to stop a school shooting before it happened
An odd phenomenon school shootings are and continue to be with little or no intervention from the government.
CommanderData··on UK government underwriting £1.5B loan to Jaguar Land Rover after cyber-attack
Its very suspicious.. + artificial scarcity.

JLs cars were becoming more and more difficult to insure because of high theft rates and poor manufacturer deterrents. 10k car insurance quotes were not unheard of in London.

It caused a massive sale event and the second hand market spiked causing massive devaluation, at one point JL were even offering their own car insurance.

CommanderData··on SSH3: Faster and rich secure shell using HTTP/3
X.509 certificates & PKI....

Hopefully provides a way to pin certs or at least pin certificate authorities && has PFS.

My conspiracy hat doesn't trust all the cert auths out there.

CommanderData··on Microsoft blocks Israel’s use of its tech in mass surveillance of Palestinians
That would never happen.

Israel has too much influence over the US.

CommanderData··on UK Millionaire exodus did not occur, study reveals
Tax wealthy elite AND make it illegal for them to fund PR stories.
CommanderData··on UK, Canada and Australia formally recognise Palestinian state
Indeed. Some analysis say this serves Israel's plan and it's smoke and mirrors.

I guess we shall see how Israel actually benefits from this soon.

CommanderData··on UK, Canada and Australia formally recognise Palestinian state
I'm always fascinated by the framing of Zionists which your comment aligns well.

Palestine, or what remains of it Gaza and the West bank. Simply are resisting an foreign occupation/invasion. Modern Israel was created through the Balfour declaration.

To fight an invading force that is killing your people is very honourable, as old as tale.

It is recognised as an occupation by all British governments in the last two decades, recognised as genocide by Jewish scholars, ICC/ICJ. The only people that think otherwise is Israel and it's followers.

Further, there is no Hamas in the west bank yet we see gruesome killings of children there too.

Attempting to hide behind anti-Semitism no longer works.

Lastly, Israel has lost a new generation of young, infact it has educated them and their parents. Memories of Israel's horrible crimes will live on, and rightly the existence of Israel inside of Palestine will always be controversial.

CommanderData··on ICE is using fake cell towers to spy on people's phones
Wasn't this thought impossible with LTE, I thought older bands were only susceptible to this attack.
CommanderData··on How can England possibly be running out of water?
Consumer: upgrade our waterways please? hmm maybe don't dump raw sewage every day.

Thames Water: pooposterous! we must pay bonuses, or it'll affect investor morale! Haven't you heard, your water is the best in the world, be happy :)

CommanderData··on Unofficial Windows 11 requirements bypass tool allows disabling all AI features

There's been many such tools for other anti-features, they eventually stop working.
