  • No, breaking an encryption is all about knowing how it works, many cryptographers make their algorithm proprietary in hopes that an attacker will have a hard time figuring how it works, however they turn out to be weak, other encryption algorithms are developed in the open so that many people look at it and see the flaws

    The key word is : weak The idea is not making a backdoor directly, the idea is making it flawed, it’s like securing a bank with steel doors with the exception of one door, that door is made out of wood and only you know where it’s located.


  • I mean they understand their encryption algorithm, they made it after all, and with the advancements of Quantum computing it could be possible to decrypt someone’s data… So what good does providing quantum computing for Imessages do… If they : understand how the algorithm works + they have enough computing power to decrypt it + it’s proprietary.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if it was all a theater, and it’s the best backdoor implementation to exist


  • About “Security theater”:

    keep in mind that companies can lie on how their stuff works, also I don’t think the nature of the store matters, as much as the fact that you’re only allowed to get the open source apps from there which will also run on top of a proprietary OS, with proprietary firmware

    Gaslighting their customers": I’d like to see hard proof on that

    Consider that I have a low standard on what a hard proof should be,… I consider telling people that : “Privacy, that’s iPhone”, while literally developing nothing in the open, which is the best and ONLY way to guarantee transparency, instead they went with the “trust me bruh” method, plus they display ads… like…they have… a… dedicated… ad … platform…

    You don’t respect my Privacy while you target me with ads





  • Sustainable Software For Sustainable Hardware

    I mean this subtitle right here gave me a pretty good idea what’s this initiative is all about already, but that’s just me I guess

    Also, keep in mind that people from different countries work on KDE, and English is not their first language, I don’t know what are your expectations… on how the writing should be…

    But here’s the thing, take a look at Google or MS posts about sustainably and being green, and you’ll realize, truly realize how one could say so much without saying anything… this wall of text that you’re talking about is full of insights











  • Sun is speaking from a privacy perspective, and he’s basically saying don’t blindly trust your VPN provider, almost all cybersecurity researchers agree on this, Sparks is not a security researcher, he’s a VPN reviewer ( and I watched his content for 2 years now ), he reviews VPN mostly from a user/customer perspective not from a privacy and Security perspective, meaning he cares about giving you the best VPN in terms or pricing, speed, how many servers are available, umm … Features such as split tunneling, adblocking… Being cross Platform, heck even the payment method must be easy… This is Not what a privacy minded individual should look for when reviewing a VPN… According to Tom Sparks nowadays the best VPN deal is from TorGuard… Yes they seem Privacy minded ( but their product is proprietary so how can you trust it )

    I stopped watching Sparks reviews because A - he ran out of Content months ago, B - he started giving bad takes such as the ones in this video

    Mullvad advocating for online privacy being their marketing strategy!! ( seriously! seriously!! )

    Why would NordVPN a company that’s worth billions of dollars be a honeypot? ( yeah Facebook is trillion dollar company and they used a VPN app as a honeypot, Big companies can be honeypots, surprise, surprise )



  • That monthly sub is worth it for reclaiming my time

    Yeah definitely, it’s a small price for the benefit, but also to add to how I feel about subscriptions, I think their major flaw is they don’t consider poor parts of the world like Africa were I live, while 6 $ is reasonable or even cheap for some people, here it’s a lot of money ( x200 which means 1$ = 200 ), so it’s not accessible…

    Only few, very few websites change their pricing based on my IP address, or send me to a different domain, but for the most part it’s not affordable

    You might ask, does you ISPs have VPS plans ? Yes they do,

    Tap for spoiler

    waaaay more expensive than European VPSs combined … LoL…

    There’s also politics and agenda involved but won’t get into it, it’s just bad news, and we have enough of that already
