If you have hundreds of tabs open, unused tabs etc, I would suspect that you'd have more to gain by fixing whatever is wrong with your work methodology than by downloading extensions. Food for thought.

The results of getting into "Podesta's gmail for some days" is you take the elections. But no, you think it's smarter getting into some nobody sysadmin's social media accounts. Got it.

Sorry, my intention wasn't to move the goalposts, I actually misspoke the second time. Obviously I don't care where the evidence comes from. I did mean "no public evidence" and then the parent made it political, somehow.

No idea why you're bringing politics into this. All I said was no evidence has been made public by the government.

by rahrahrah 10y ago
That's right, I was one of those confused people. I assumed this would be the WH presenting what evidence they have. Sooo... still no public evidence that Russia leaked the DNC and Podesta's e-mails?

Ok, so I just want to be absolutely clear: > They are signed by the same process as all other APK's on the store; using the play store developer keys that OWS received. Google can backdoor it because they control the distribution so

Because it depends on how you want to use email. eg I have emails which are sent to my address+subs@gmail.com being put to a label "subscriptions", but obviously not everyone wants to use it like this, in which case why make it de

If the "something malicious" is run by a user that only has permissions to read/write to his home, it's perfectly contained.

You said that the play sore APK is signed. Signed by whom? By OWS, right? So Google can't backdoor it. Again, what am I missing? Help me out. I might be making a reasoning mistake due to not thoroughly understading how these things wor

Guys.... This is obviously NOT an attempt to SQL inject. This is a full fledged company incorporation. A marketing move if you will. Although a risky one. If that had worked that guy would end up in court.

I probably don't know enough to be talking about these things, but it seems to me that the Qubes OS approach is more complex and less battle tested. User permissions in Linux have been around forever.

Ok, but it's STILL false that if google wants to backdoor you a signature check is irrelevant. Also, no need to get triggered mate, we're just having a conversation.

by rahrahrah 10y ago
No one cares.

> If Apple/Google want to backdoor Signal they can do so, they can also backdoor your device in this case the signature check is irrelevant if you consider them an adversary. What? No... Assuming you trust OWS you can check the APK

Hi Alex, thanks for sharing. I was wondering, what you pay your affiliates is missing from the break down of costs. Why is that?

Something related happened to me. Some of the photos on my google photos are just completely black. It's not exactly the same because this guy's photos are "corrupted". Mine are just literally black. Not all of them, jus

Curating IS their business. When you type in "public key pinning", for example, google understands that you want to learn about public key pinning and so it curates OUT results about kim kardashian for example and instead shows yo

Interesting. But what's the set of public keys that it uses to decide whether or not an APK can be executed?

I don't understand what the outrage around this is. Google's goal has always been to organise all knowledge around a query box, and that's exactly what it's doing. If it understands that the holocaust did happen, why sho

Ok so you're giving me an answer about something that I don't care about, the "overall" state of security. I just care about mine, really. Thanks.

by rahrahrah 10y ago
When you say "doesn't meaningfully improve security", does "meaningfully" mean "for the majority of users"? Because I can assure you that for a single user who does things properly it does improve security
