Well, that makes quite a bit more sense!

Got it! I will not downvote comments on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

^{I don’t know why I’m not doing it but I’m not doing it}

Just subscribed to all 3! There’s a good amount of communities out there, but I’d love to see more content!

Love to see the progress and new features! Are there any apps out there keeping pace with the latest?

Less any one single community and more that I’d love to see more activity in the niche hobby communities.

IDC whether its woodworking, quilting, indie games, card stacking, underwater basket weaving, or anything in between. I want to see more things people have made themselves, and more open conversations about how to do things.

Show me what you made so I can celebrate it and maybe learn how to do something new!

Oh sure, and next you’re gonna tell me the devs are outspoken about privacy??

I guess since you’ve found the source, can you find the patch titled “Google Firmware Secret Backdoor Patch”?

Must’ve… If only GOS was open source and the devs were incredibly outspoken about privacy, we could verify this speculation through their statements (or lack thereof). Alas…

Pretty impressive to have an OS that’s “almost impossible to crack” with backdoored firmware.

For what its worth, I subbed to EasyOptOuts earlier this year, as recommended by PrivacyGuides and Consumer Reports, and have, somewhat anecdotally, noticed a MASSIVE decline in spam/scam calls.

I was getting 1-2 calls a day at peak, and now I haven’t had one in weeks. Could be a fluke, confirmation bias, or other unrelated crackdowns, but for now happy to keep my subscription going for a couple of years to not have to worry about checking back on those brokers constantly.

Hoping the CA Opt Out portal goes live soon as well, since that’ll be a huge win for millions of people.

When WIRED asked Meta what rate-limiting measures it instituted over the last eight years to prevent the technique Kloeze demonstrated, the company responded that it has, in fact, implemented evolving defenses against scrapers, including rate-limiting and machine-learning techniques to ban scrapers. Yet the University of Vienna researchers were able to not only replicate Kloeze’s work, but take it further, actually enumerating all 3.5 billion registered WhatsApp phone numbers—far more than the service had in 2017.

A generous rate limit of 1 query per second would have taken 111 years to churn through 3.5 billion users (with 100% success rate on guesses). Meta’s rate limit seems to be “the rate at which our servers can query our contact database”.

I’m guessing the next biggest example of this exact same flaw was when this happened on Facebook like 8 years ago. Who could possibly have seen this coming?

Is 4chan UK-based? Realistically what happens if they don’t comply? Eventually an IP ban on UK networks that’s easily bypassed with a VPN?
