I disagree with the words you've chosen, but I think others are missing the sentiment. Most of us understand there is a level of politics involved in making free software. The problem many software communities are facing is unnecessary

Is the identity of those who make donations protected in any way? Could a company seek legal damages against all or some crowdfunders for what they might deem as libel (regardless of merit)? I doubt people who donate $1 here or $2 there hav

The social contract was to show ads. Gathering people's data even on websites they don't even own was not the social contract. Google broke the contract and to suggest otherwise is gaslightling. Google can either start blindly sho

This just sounds like a less private Tor.

Correct, hence the accusation of dishonesty.

If you're not doing anything that affects national security they won't bother burning that capability on you. They save action only for those they can take action against in a clandestine way (so the fact they can crack Tor is not

You're being dishonest by implying that discussion of technology is inherently not inclusive and that an effort needs to be made to be inclusive by allowing people who feel oppressed (whether they are or are not) to play in the "o

It's not backwards. The prosecution makes a claim and supports it with evidence. The defense makes the claim that the prosecution's evidence is fake, thus the defense needs to substantiate that claim. That's been true even be

PBKDF2 should only be used if compliance with government requirements is a concern. While it can be adjusted to be arbitrarily difficult by changing the iterations it's still not memory intensive and can still be fairly easily cracked

If the end user was "in control" of the PSP that'd defeat the purpose. These features are supposed to remain a secure enclave even if the machine is compromised.

A TEE has nothing to do with any of that. A TEE is a CPU feature that generates a physically separate area of memory that no other process can access to protect sensitive data from even the OS (in case of compromise).

Why would you want to do away with AMD PSP? It's a trusted execution environment that privacy and security software (e.g. Signal) makes use of for it's confidentiality and integrity guarantees.

by gray_charger 3y ago
PSP is a trusted execution environment not a remote management platform. There is no reason anyone should want to remove this from a privacy perspective. In fact, privacy and security software may be hindered without something like PSP or S
