I am, once again, urging our guys to switch to Linux. I’ve made a few Linux posts in the past about which to use/what I recommend. Linux has come a long way in just a few years. With massive help from Valve and their steam deck using Linux. Gaming, productivity, everything, is usable on Linux. There is very little reason to not switch. SWITCH.

And for those who say they have windows only apps, you can run .exe (windows) apps on Linux through Wine and/or Lutris.

SWITCH

🇺🇸🇮🇱 Two GOP reps have introduced a new bill to extend benefits reserved for US government servicemembers to US citizens serving in the Israel Defense Forces.

Tons of our own servicemembers are struggling but the GOP wants to give their benefits away to troops serving in a foreign army! 🤡 https://www.informationliberation.com/?id=64458

it's why we have echo chamber comment sections

Telegram to Introduce Fact-Checking Feature

The source code of Telegram for Android has revealed lines indicating the development of a new feature called "Fact Check." It appears that this feature will be implemented in partnership with government-assigned fact checking agencies.

- The "Fact Check" feature will allow additional clarifying information to be attached to messages. However, it will function differently from Twitter's Community Notes, even though they might seem similar at first glance.

- The government in your country will be able to appoint an agency to conduct fact-checking on public Telegram channel posts. This agency will have full control over the content of these fact check blocks, while regular users will not be able to influence or have a say in the notes. By clicking on the "What is this?" tool-tip, details about the agency providing the fact-check will be shown.

- Unlike Telegram's "Fact Check" feature, Twitter's Community Notes are created and evaluated by regular users, and the most useful notes are selected by an algorithm based on votes from readers with diverse political views.

Fake and gay disinfo post. This code is not for "Telegram for Android." This is for the "telegram-crawler" program by this faggot Ilya Siamionau.

Windows users on suicide watch: turns out, extracting everything that Microsoft is scanning is trivial:

Every few seconds, screenshots are taken. These are automatically OCR’d by Azure AI, running on your device, and written into an SQLite database in the user’s folder.

This database file has a record of everything you’ve ever viewed on your PC in plain text. OCR is a process of looking at an image and extracting the letters.

While this keylogging "feature" can allegedly be opted out of, it is on by default. Your clueless parents, employer, etc will have all sorts of sensitive information tied up with a little bow for the next piece of malware they get exposed to.

One cannot believe this is a simple oversight on Microsoft's end. Glowniggers of all types need more consoomer data, after all.

Might be a good time to update your passwords after this latest data breach.

The FBI subpoenaed Google for my account information in 2022. I have never been notified until now. It stands to reason there was a grand jury subpoena and associated gag order.

This was undoubtedly related to #DropKiwiFarms and, unsurprisingly, it amounted to nothing.

⚡️Apple & Google WiFi Surveillance Can Track Death & Destruction
@takebackourtech

Chances are, if you’ve used Google Maps or Apple Maps, you’ve contributed to one of the biggest surveillance databases in the world.

Known for their accuracy, big tech maps can locate your phone within a few meters and even indoors.

No, these big tech maps aren’t using GPS - they’re using WPS or Wi-Fi positioning system.

These WPS systems collect millions of WiFi networks and tag them with locations.

Researchers in Maryland discovered through a flaw in Apple’s WPS that they could gather at least 2B (2 Billion) WiFi location points by requesting WiFi networks at random.

That’s enough points to cover the world’s populated areas, notably China was nearly empty except for a few thousand points. Looks like even the CCP can’t opt out of this surveillance.

We did the work for them.

When you use Google or Apple maps, your phone will send the nearby WiFi networks along with their signal strength to the WPS. The WPS will look up these networks in a database that has hundreds of millions of networks along with their location. The calculation is then performed on the server for Google location’s service, and on the phone for Apple location’s service - which sent a list of 400 additional WiFi points back.

And this is how you get a precise location for your phone. Any new WiFi networks you scanned are potentially added to the WPS databases.

Apple & Google have made their users the instrument of their surveillance.

And the things you can do with this surveillance are harrowing. The researchers were able to see how many WiFi access points went offline in Gaza due to the constant bombardment that caused the deaths of 40,000 civilians.

Similarly the researchers were able to see the damage from the August 2023 Maui fires, and the emigration of people from Ukraine to escape forced connoscription.

Apple, Google and any organization they choose to share this WiFi data will have incredible capabilities. Don’t worry though - because these companies care so much about privacy - they give you a way to opt out.

Solutions

Add _nomap to the end of your WiFi SSID (name), Google and Apple promise not to index Wifi networks ending with those names.

Turn off your WiFi network and use ethernet cable.
