As Israel’s assault on Rafah approaches, Egypt prepares for a flood of Palestinian refugees (theconversation.com)

Satellite imagery and video footage have emerged suggesting that Egypt is building what appears to be a large, concrete-walled enclosure which observers believe will be used to manage a major influx of Palestinian refugees flooding out of Gaza via the Rafah crossng on its eastern border....

‘Energy independent’ Uruguay runs on 100% renewables for four straight months (theprogressplaybook.com)

“with wind the single-biggest contributor… Power production costs have declined “by almost half” … And the clean energy sector has created 50,000 new jobs… Ask me what was the impact on the electricity sector in Uruguay after this tragic war in Europe — zero.”

masterofn001 ,

Converting energy to power will always produce at least one of heat or light (also radiant heat) in the process.

There is no 100% efficient power.

But, electric is the closest you could get. Especially compared to any petroleum products

Elon Musk should be shamed out of public life.

People believe what they want.

But, you are correct.

Not necessarily because FF is bad, but because the internet and web standards are often stupid and not privacy friendly.

Webrtc? Great! (But, by default, it leaks your real IP address even with a VPN). WebGL, web GPU, etc. Sketchy not privacy friendly standards

But, again. At least FF allows obfuscation either by fingerprint blocking or masking or other config settings. But… it is tedious. And they change flags and flag names constantly.

FF at least allows you to mod it so you can use it without leaks.

What irks me is all the telemetry. And this new deal they call fog.

And the impossible to get rid of add-ons I never asked for. No, I don’t want screenshots built in. Nor amazon, or google, or eBay, or Normandy or opt out studies

After all the tweaks I make manually (arkenfox user.js is nice, too) it ends up well over a hundred settings to get what I want functionality and privacy wise.

And, yet, it is still the absolute best of the browsers.

(Tor, mull, and librefox as well)

masterofn001 ,

Or mull - made by mullvad, the VPN guys. It has all the tor privacy without the tor network and gets updates because, unlike tor, it’s not based on the ESR.

At this rate an iPhone will just be Pegasus all the way down. 76 nation states and their rogue black ops will battle for pegasupremacy.

He who hacks harder wins.

(The above is not based on any fact)

But, seriously… 3 (known) years later and Apple doesn’t have a fix for this?

Almost as if it’s intentionally unpatched

Code has been analyzed from several versions of it.

Edit: the code and analysis report available here:

amnesty.org/…/forensic-methodology-report-how-to-…

(Edit: it amazes me how much people will defend/rationalize the most valuable corporation ever known to put more effort into the camera being placed 2mm to the left than an exploit that gets people killed.)

That Apple (especially) can’t mitigate against it is pretty damning.

Regardless what Pegasus is made of, it exploits vulnerabilities. Use a rock, a bat, or hard boiled egg and you can break a cheap window. It’s the window that is insecure. Not the methods used.

A trillion dollar company ought to be able to put up a bit more than plexiglass.

And the mega corps ought to be working together on this. Imagine if it got out into the wild.

Remember spectre?

…wikipedia.org/…/Spectre_(security_vulnerability)

I am not a lawyer.

masterofn001 ,

Yet, if you check your dmesg you’ll find innumerable methods of mitigation against such exploits.

A software patch for hardware issue.

Personally, I’d rather the drop in performance than the Kashoggi treatment.

masterofn001 , (edited )

Really? An entire economy based on hacking, exploits, and exfiltration? (Edit: I guess I need this: /s, because, /whoosh)

Again. A 2 TRILLION DOLLAR COMPANY, should be able to find the resources to not only find these exploits, but be able to more vigorously check their own code on their own platform on their own hardware in their own labs.

Doubly since it affects a broad range of hardware/software/firmware, and since these exploits essentially own everything, and it is targeted at high value targets including members of state, journos, advocates and dissenters, it would seem necessary to develop better security in tandem with the other half of the monopoly and OEM’S and national security agencies.

It isn’t just a bug that erases your favorite cat pics. Worst case, these exploits can erase your life if you end up saying/knowing/thinking something someone doesn’t like.

I find it difficult to believe after 3 years, multiple os updates, code changes, hardware/chip redesign, the same exploit(s) have remained so thoroughly effective, and the best a company can do is “lockdown”

You’re already owned by then.

masterofn001 ,

Apple doing that intentionally WAS the mistake.

It lost trust. It was sketchy. It was plain wrong.

masterofn001 ,

One affects games.

The other literally gets people killed.

Again, with 2 trillion dollars, I’d fucking hire every hacker, grey, black, white, and red hat, every security expert, every current and former intelligence agent, consultant, pundit, engineer, 7 year old prodigy, AI, and the corpse of Steve Jobs to fix a problem that essentially makes any and all security features null and void.

But, that’s just me.

I’m not a shareholder grasping at my 96 cent dividend over the safety and lives of people.

And even after spending all that, I’d still have 2 trillion because that is an insane figure that is so big it would pay 10 million people 200k. Surely enough to fix the problem.

If the end result isn’t public execution of the executives who executed the extinction of earth, this means absolutely nothing.

You may have already noticed, or may soon notice when it slaps you in the face, that google is inserting proprietary code into their browser, into android, and every other product they produce.

Then, one day, you will find all that free open source labour they used to build their empire is no longer open source. They control the web. And you have no idea what they are doing. And if you decide not to continue using their product you will be unable to access sites and services due to Google’s super duper friendly and only concerned for your wellbeing internet standards.

Google is evil.

Period.

Observing and stating what is an obviously exaggerated result is hardly advocating.

But, yes, I do believe the likes of people who put profit over lives deserve the worst.

Not advocating. I wouldn’t be sad if it happened. But, definitely not advocating.

I use a very old (circa ~2010), very underpowered (6Gb ram because one slot is dead) optiplex 760 with a DP to HDMI adapter to watch movies and live sports on a projector.

I can watch my pirate streamed movie or sports in one window and do other nerd stuff in another no problem.

Internet is acquired by tethering one of my old android phones running dnscrypt-proxy and tor (invisible pro), with KDE connect for remote control.

Recently watched a documentary called ‘the YouTube effect’ by Alex Winter (bill of bill and ted) which goes into how YouTube was essential in the current global state of radicalized individuals.

In the earlyish days of the internet (late 1990s / early 00s) I fell deep down the rabbit hole of right wing hate and conspiracy theories…

One subject of the doc explains his descent. It is almost exactly mine. Only these days it is hyper stimulated, laser targeted, data driven, psychological warfare, wrapped in polished, billionaire backed campaigns.

It comes at you from wherever you are.

Crypto bros. Health/hydro bros. incel bros. Christian bros. Muslim bros. Rogan bros. Peterson bros. Elon bros. Tech bros. Anon bros. etc.

By the time a lot of people realize what’s happened, if ever, they’re already in too deep.

masterofn001 ,

I have resorted to extreme methods of recommendation algorithm avoidance such as, but not limited to:

Multiple accounts.

Proxies and anonymous services like startpage.com anonymous view.

Non YouTube clients like piped or envidious.

Using multiple browsers instead of a single google spyware app.

Whatever your interest or hobby, there is a psyop devoted to it. Wherever you are, whatever you do, whatever you’re curious about, you will find targeted propaganda.

Because of the methods used. The conspiracies wrapped in a cozy blanket of semi truth and emotional manipulation make it easy to fall prey to.

If you’re angry, it will make you angrier. Violent, even. If you’re happy, it can make you hate with the loving joy of false religious zeal. If you are confused and uncertain, it will provide the esoteric truths you seek, with the absolute certainty of a “final solution”

Etc

And it’s difficult to unwind.
