all jira tickets regarding it has also been closed without a (real) response

they have been breaking the GDPR for years but it seems nobody cares. data mining is still an opt-out setting

its still better in a sense. usb storage devices all have an internal “mini computer” that run their own code and have access to the USB bus of the connected computer, with the ability to even present themselves as a keyboard, a network adapter or a lot of other things. that’s not a good idea to plug in to the hospital computer after it was given to the patient, and it is also not the best idea to just plug these in at home.

optical media on the other hand does not store code that is executed by the drive.

the problem is that pendrives have a firmware, and too much capabilities, even when not accounting for errors in hardware and code that participates in making it work. some of them (maybe most?) is even writable with the right tools, and the computer’s user doesn’t even need to know that it’s happening.
the most famous web browser that allows any website access to your USB devices with just 1 or 2 clicks makes this even worse.

with digital media recording has become a lot harder, thanks to Digital Restrictions Management

I thought you were thinking an AI based code generator klike copilot) does it, when you said the IDE does it.

username checks out /s

not the IDE, its the compiler. this is also not some AI shit, in many cases (not all) the compiler can actually figure out how to do this, because it’s not hard, it would just be a lot of boilerplate if written manually.

where did you read it that rust obfuscates the code?

you want vmprotect and such for that

It’s up to users to know what they are installing.

Except when all you get is an UAC prompt when clicking the play button, without giving you any information, other than that it wants to execute an exe in a temp dir with a random name.

the kernel level part of that specific thing is preventing process startup after it was killed

antimalware is literally worthless as has been for at least a decade. not even once did I get a spyware (or other) alert for the software of any commercial data harvester company. they are literally bought out and even the blind can see this

they couldn’t finish the message. maybe they were hit by the bus that was late

facial recognition and 0-24 movement tracking did not work good enough I guess

forced to pay? Isn’t it a legal obligation to accept being enlisted?

I wanted to ask you how does such an extension make your browser more fingerprintable.

I’m still interested in an answer, but after looking at the code there’s a (actually not so) surprising turn: this thing sinply cannot live without remotely loaded google fonts (at addon startup) for some fucking reason.

that technically shouldn’t make you more fingerprintable, but the extension makes sure google is notified that you opened your browser.

thanks for the reminder! recently I keep the warrior down because my amount of ram started to be a bottleneck to me, but certainly manageable when there’s urgent need.

why don’t they switch the “current project” selection to it, though? It’s on telegram now. it would receive more help because that’s the automatic choice

I think I have found something interesting, check my reply to the other reply

it can be, if the client downloads everything. I’m not sure if most Matrix clients do that, I think instead they use the serverside search api: https://spec.matrix.org/latest/client-server-api/#server-side-search

though, after looking at it, it seems it has more features than what the element clients expose to us.
also, it seems it’s not specified how the server should treat the search term. I think I remember something that with synapse, it is just passed to postgres as it is, but maybe a different homeserver can choose to implement it with wildcard or regex support

well search is not that good, it can only find exact word matches for any of the words, but otherwise yeah. though I think telegram isn’t much better at this either

and also, time of “saving” is always correctly preserved
