is planning to rebrand the company with a new name next week! I wonder what that would be. Whatever it is, I’m sure it won’t make it more friendly. Mark’s trying to build the “metaverse” apparently, whatever that means.

Today I learned that accepts cash payments! 😮 Yeah you read that right. Just put cash in an envelope and send it to top your account. It doesn’t get more private than that.

A critical vulnerability in multiple clients, including , could allow a malicious actor to see into encrypted messages. Element on iOS wasn’t impacted though.. go figure!

Patches are already out so make sure your client is up to date.

The will fly an aerial banner over the Apple’s campus tomorrow during the iPhone 13 launch event to make sure understands that “encryption is simply too important to give up on”. I really respect what these guys are doing ✊

Friend: What’s your new address? I can come pick you up
Me: Thx, but I don’t want my address to end up on
Friend: What? I’m not giving it to FB. WTH?!
Me: Hum, you’ll probably add it to my contact on your phone. You gave Messenger and Whatsapp access to your contacts. So yeah if I give you my address there’s a good chance it’ll end up in a FB’s database.

Why is it so hard to protect one’s data these days? Is there a way for me to have ppl over without leaking my address?

China joins Europe and some US states with its Personal Information Protection Law effective November 1st. It’s great to see more countries making it harder for tech companies to abuse user data.

Well it’s kinda too late now . You had Whatsapp for what? 7 years now? And you’re just now thinking of rolling out E2E encryption for Messenger and Instagram?

apparently regrets the “confusion” around its recently announced CSAM and iMessage nudity detection features. I don’t think there has been any confusion, at least not among advocates who are pushing against this. It’s sad that Apple doesn’t seem to budge and might actually go through with this.

Cool new addition to that allows you to easily “forget” a website. That would wipe all cookies, local data, cache, and history traces related to your visits to that website.

That moment when your second external hard drive is delivered only to find out that your RPi can’t power more than one at a time 🤦 why does RPi4 limit USB power to 1.2A for all ports combined?
