Maybe present what it’s for and why you think it should be used? To me, you just proposed a random tool and just shared a link. Sorry dude, I ain’t reading all that.

Maybe hosting services in France is not a good idea afterall…
Being a node isn’t an issue. The traffic is encrypted, the destinations are unknown to the nodes themselves, and the traffic does not leave the overlay network (I2P). In TOR, you also have something similar, but the traffic can exit the overlay network but to do so, your node must be an exit node. I2P nodes are internal by default and it’s not that easy to make it an exit node.
You are very safe being a node in I2P.
If there are no logs, there is nothing to give up. There is no law that they have to keep logs as far as I know.
You have to trust that the VPN provider doesn’t store logs. I2P is pretty much trustless besides where the binary comes from, but you can even compile it yourself.
All they care about it pools of money. Only when somebody finds out about the malware do they actually do something - not to protect users but because of bad press. Then the news cycle is over and things die down for the money-printing machine to continue.
That’s probably for a judge to decide if it ever gets to court.
Lemmy should have the option to defederate from instances depending on automated criteria. Sign ups without admin checks are a great attribute to use for defederation, because it leads to such abuse. I’ve finally blocked most communities and instances that have news about US politics and have a clean feed, but for newcomers, that shit is everywhere.
Hey :) Hope you’re doing well!
That is actually a good question. Probably the consumer protection agency would be a place to report it. There must also be non-profit watchdogs, but I can’t think of any besides NOYB (none of your business) who are all about privacy.
Indeed. I’m not sure what the format is and whether a man in the middle or fake service could be run on the device, which pretends to be google’s attestation service and just responds with a “yep, this device is fine” in the correct format. It may be easier than rewriting an entire app and be applicable to other apps as well.
Can someone start a Signal group? That’s encrypted and safe for sure. You can use usernames and have public groups.
I think it’s more a monopoly attempt. I wonder how the EU will react if someone takes this to court.
Forcing one app store fits the bill of monopolistic action.
It’s not the store that’s the problem. The integrity API is a web API. First the app collects data about your phone locally and then it sends it to google asking “is this phone ‘safe’?”. Google then responds with how safe it believes the phone to be and the app itself makes a decision. The alternative app store is completely out of the loop.
I agree, it’s unfortunate that they are only focusing on improving their way of having fun and being distracted from real world issues (necessary but shouldn’t stop them from fulfilling their democratic duties). However, if stop killing games is successful, it might make this way of influencing policy visible to others probably less interested in politics.
I signed all of those BTW. Had done so a while ago.
Did you watch pirategames shilling for the big studios? He doesn’t even propose solutions or start his own petition. He just complains about how it would impact poor old him in some theoretical scenario.
Don’t fall for it. It’s like a poor person complaining about taxes for the rich because they might get rich someday (probably never). Rich people have to pay their fair share and gamedevs should stop making games that die when you unplug a server. They did before, they can do it again. They don’t want to because subscriptions make more steady money.
Don’t be a shill.
Might this become the fastest petition to reach the requirements?
IINM, just because a country reaches the threshold, doesn’t mean they shouldn’t stop going. It would also be sufficient to have 1M signatures in 7 countries.
Break up the company already… Make them separate entities and introduce provisions to prevent them merging for a decade or more.
It’s maybe difficult to maintain privacy. The destination needs to be known and has to somehow notify other nodes that it’s waiting for messages. I don’t know if that can lead to traffic profiling to along the path (if enough nodes are owned) to deanonimise.
The sender can probably sealed like signal does though.
I imagine it comes with the problem most P2P chats come with: both sender and receiver have to be online at the same time, otherwise the message cannot be delivered.
Although, if people were serious about anonymity, they’d be using such a service (or similar).
Maybe the driver should have compilation flags per supported GPU. No need to load a bunch of that isn’t even relevant. Also, now large in bytes is that damn think if it take 10 seconds to load? 🫠
