@LukaszOlejnik let's see how our government responds to that, the current right wing government here in Sweden recently pushed through warrantless secret surveillance which seems incredibly illegal under EU law according to this
China releases an AI chatbot trained on the thoughts of President Xi Jinping, the political philosophy “Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era”, as well as other official literature. Competition for OpenAI? https://www.ft.com/content/43378c6e-664b-4885-a255-31325d632ee9
Given a webauthn.create response, what is the absolute easiest way for me to verify that it has a valid signature (in an ideal world something like https://debugger.simplewebauthn.dev/ but validates the signature rather than just verifying the format is good)
@mjg59 since there's no PKI if you don't care about attestation, the main task is just serializing the signed data right and verifying the sig against the pubkey. Are you looking for a tool that does it automatically for you? Are you doing it in a browser or not?
this app, age-rated for nine-year-olds, has its marketing material chock full of images of renowned rapist, slaver, and grifter Andrew Tate. There’s no way this is compliant with the guidelines. How do we get this nuked off the app store? https://apps.apple.com/us/app/parrot-ai-voice-generator/id6443546763
So Apple built an entire key transparency thing for iMessage and it literally seems to be documented in a blog post. What the heck is the point of key transparency if you don’t document things, and (critically) provide open source ID verification tools?
@filippo@matthew_d_green both, the TLS cert model for transparency also works with subscriptions to third party monitoring tools since sufficiently paranoid admins would assume the server might be compromised
@gsuberland@tolmasky they should have just embraced this as a devkit and public demo and completely skipped some of these pieces like that stupid eye-passthrough which won't look decent from more than one direction anyway
I just saw that Am I The Asshole reddit thread where the white girl started going to a black salon because she had extremely curly hair and the black salon was the only one that didn't massacre it. Her white friends straight up gaslit her into believe she was engaging in cultural appropriation and stealing resources from black people. WILD 💀
@ftp_alun@malwaretech horseshoe theory, extremists on either end are both just as likely to support apartheid depressed up in different words. Unfortunately the extremists also tend to be loud.
@VoxofGod@ftp_alun@malwaretech I've seen a fair few derail from "protect minorities" all the way into "isolate and don't interact with minorities" thinking somehow that would be better for the minorities. Certainly not a majority, but these people are real
We're all just a bunch of frogs sitting in a pot as it gently warms on the stove, too stupid or lazy or comfortable to jump out just yet. But soon to be part of the stew.
In this "enshittified" world, we don't actually own any of the things we buy. The vendor either sells all customer data up front, or what's sold is offered mainly on a subscription basis, even as they're reselling that data. Any terms, prices or promises can be changed on a dime, and your only "choice" is "okay" or not to use the thing.
This fairly describes your privacy expectations for commercial services in the USA. We are long overdue for a Privacy Bill of Rights that says quite simply, if you sell it and it actively collects and transmits data, you have to up front offer consumers the option to turn all it off. Full stop. And then respect that decision in perpetuity.
