But it is secure. Secure against you the genpop end user from being able to keep secrets or pursue interests that may not align with the government’s interests

Look at salt typhoon. The fact that 3P actors can use the exploit/bdoor too only matters to Gov to the extent that those actors can threaten its own interests by using it. Aka fuck the end user

Turning the clear web into a wasteland of corp/gov service portals one investigation at a time

that’s the point, to secure itself against $enemy-nation the state will first secure itself against the citizenry, by having a way of compromising citizens security on demand

ultimately governnment only cares that IT can exploit the mechanism, not that other actors cannot do so via the same mechanism

strip away all the obfuscation layers (there are so many lol) and thats pretty much the extent of the thought process of natsec orgs. you’re the threat. its an utterly retarded mind virus thats infected them we can all agree, but from an individual’s standpoint we can only protest and hope to shame the policymakers into a constructive course of action

Rule of Acquisition #3: Never spend more on an acquisition than you have to

wouldn’t profilers simply track via the domain tld instead of the whole address…shopping1 at uniquedomain, bank2 at uniquedomain , etc

and in the case of aliasing, couldnt a domain provider tell where the aliases rout to and sell that info as a side earner?

Homogenizing Productions with Netflix’s Slop Cauldron Suite

A firearm isn’t worth much money in the scheme of things either its real worth is in publicly displaying it on your person, and having it loaded

So does MS know what I look like and have my age and phone no? presumably the tenant cloud is zero-knowledge from Redmond’s perspective

this is still objectionable

why does my employer presume it can commandeer my personal property? the only sound policy is to never let work stuff touch personal computers and vice versa. The workplace is like a gas, if you give it the empty space it will keep expanding to fill it

where the hell did my property rights go once one of my PCs got a radio?

I will never understand the fitness metrics craze…I don’t want my health maintenance to be more systematized than observing two or three core principles and letting the rest sort itself out

Can’t show you the old stuff, if we show you the old stuff you wont watch the new stuff

how shielded are enterprise accounts from the data harvest?

Look at what’s really happening though: the state is implicitly saying you can have free expression provided your reach is miniscule/ineffectual. The moment you get traction is the moment it will move to block use of your preferred platforms, or simply hard-/algorithmically ban you - it’s functionally identical to suppression of speech/association

They rely on the public’s credulity when they insist freedoms are intact because ‘only one website’ is verboten. It’s a dirty exploit. In reality, all platform denial should be protested

Its primary utility is shoring up their image as the brand where ‘everything just works’ and op/interop is a thoughtless zero friction process. Compromise that and you lose normie, bigtime. So everyone gets locked in…and you get the walled prison basketball court

If you mandate reporting the accountants will design a reporting scheme that makes the default company behaviour appear environmentally friendly

Something something goodhart’s law

The government likes concentrated ownership because then it has only a few phonecalls to make if it wants its bidding done (be it censorship, manipulation, partisan political chicanery, etc)

He’ll get the kissinger treatment and be rolled out to ‘prestigious’ public events like olympic basketball in roder to shore up his credibility as a ‘great american’, (that the US gov even used an insulation strategy like this was a huge tell on their assessment of HK’s war crim status)

Plex is the current war front. May it hold for many years

the idea of stockpiling a lifetimes AV entertainment being within normie’s grasp must have media congloms terrified. Problem is - that accessibility poses risks for us filesharers too, cause a panicked animal is an aggressive one
