The @torproject doesn't answer to any shareholder, but is responsible for many different stakeholders.💜 🧅

=== FRAUD ALERT ===
This crap, https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tor-browser-onion-web-vpn/id1263248141, and possibly other copycats like this are fakes, scamming people with a very pricey subscriptions.

The @torproject (title-case Tor, NOT TOR, https://torproject.org) has never charged users for its #foss (Free Open Source Software), which you can download for desktop OSes and Android here: https://torproject.org/download/

Moreover, there's no actual Tor Browser on IOS because #browser customization tech is too limiting on that platform, but we recommend the OnionBrowser as an option: https://support.torproject.org/tormobile/tormobile-3/

Yes, mobile is quite the hellscape for #privacy & #anonymity, between #Google's rock and #Apple's backd... hard place.

Fully subscribed to @pluralistic's closing remark about the deceitful and futile religion war between the #effective_altruism church and the #eacc cult, both profiting from a ridicolous #AI mysticism and "treating humans as things" (present time, meat and bone humans at least):
"It's because I'm a materialist that my primary concerns about AI are things like the climate impact of AI data-centers and the human impact of biased, opaque, incompetent and unfit algorithmic systems – not science fiction-inspired, self-induced panics over the human race being enslaved by our robot overlords."

Ouch #Microsoft 🤬
No tor.exe change between @torproject #Tor Browser 12.5.5 and 12.5.6: just a MS Defender #falsepositive affecting Win64 only.
Either add an exception or work-around by temporarily switching to the 32-bit version (thanks @a000d4f7a91939d0e71df1646d7a48 for this hint).

Hey #infosec folks! Why don't you help #InternetFreedom and #foss (including @noscript), and also grab some money along the way, by submitting an Information Security Services proposal to OTF Red Team Lab?
Deadline just postponed to September the 12th.

My life is remembering the right etiquette for the right culture and drinking the right amount and knowing what to do in the disaster and wearing the right clothes and makeup and having the right hair and nails done ahead of time, and having the proper media schedule, and knowing which greeting is appropriate, how to code switch, and listening at the right time, and when to be quiet all when carrying the weight of a crisis and catastrophe.
