This looks neat. It’ll be sweat it it could get
Will use this instead of Neo for a few days to see how it goes.
pairdrop.net maybe?
It’s mainly for local network, but you can do internet transfers.
uBlock Origin is a must. Then Stylus with a global-dark userstyle. Very light on resource than Darkreader.

Gadgetbridge lets you connect and get data from supported smart or fitness watch without manufacturers app. Completely local.
By giving the next generation less incentive to join a terrorist organization?
But that ship has already sailed.
And helps US keep its military complex rolling.
With how US and Israel carry out their strikes as “affiliated”, it just comes off as “I felt like it”. Did we forget how they just bombed civs for fun in Iraq/Afghanistan with no repercussions at all.

did you read the article?
I’m convinced though that if we want Linux on phones to become an option for everyone, there’s no way around the need for well-integrated support for Android apps
I’ve documented the reverse engineering work on this Github repo, including a very rough step-by-step manual of how to run things.

I was looking for the same thing when I accidentally deleted a video from Google Photos app a month back. I didn’t find any opensource ones, so I ended up using one from the playstore. Tried a few and turned off wifi before opening them, because I was sure they were going to have a lot of ads and generally don’t want anything uploaded without me knowing.
One app worked (I don’t even remember the name), then deleted it right away.
They weren’t lying when they said “Might makes right”
In this age of Internet, they still control the narrative, even with so much evidence brought to light. If you don’t seek it out, it seems like nothing noteworthy is going on.
History is still mostly written by the victor, with truth waning in the distance. The victor being evil never mattered. “Human rights” these countries exclaim so often doesn’t extend when their kins are doing the killing.
This is essentially some good PR to lower the bad PR they’re getting. The damage is already done, whatever narrative they were pushing worked. Now they get to say “We did bad things and we’re aware of it. We have an oversight board and we have a system in place. We pinky promise we will continue to improve how we handle these things in future.”
Until next time it happens again.
Sorry about what happened to your friend.
I don’t think you see the difference, Aaron was downloading the data off of MIT servers himself, he was not facing charges for writing the scripts.
From your link:
The Justice Department’s press release announcing Aaron’s indictment suggests the true motivation for pursuing the case was that Aaron downloaded academic literature from JSTOR and planned to make it available to the public for free as a political statement about access to knowledge.

Tools that can be used maliciously are generally allowed because they have legitimate uses, using them to gain access or otherwise harm a computer system or network without authorization is criminal.
As I said before, Beeper users are gaining unauthorized access, not Beeper. It is E2EE, they’re not the middleman.
Apple reverse-engineered Office to release iWork. So Apple isn’t new to reverse-engineering others proprietary shit when it benefits them. something, something, history lesson, hmm…
I don’t know laws in the US but my limited understanding in the case of Beeper is that its users are the ones that grant themselves unauthorized access to the Apple servers. Beeper is a tool that packages pypush to accomplish it. So Apple should sue all the Beeper users?
As an example, there are tons of tools to exploit vulnerable systems in Linux. Metasploit is a penetration testing software and can execute exploits on old unpatched systems. I don’t think anyone is suing Metasploit developers for Computer Fraud and Abuse aCt. The users who use it are responsible for the access of unauthorized services and broken ToS.
If Apple thinks Beeper users are exploiting its servers, they should patch them (which they did).
Beeper did try to monetize it, so i’m not sure how it fairs but Beeper is not forcing anyone to gain unauthorized access. Beeper even welcomed Apple to audit Beeper mini code.
And I’m sure Beeper has a legal team that analyzed these scenarios better than anyone of us. And Apple has sued companies for less. They’d have done it the moment the app landed on appstore. They could have crushed it before gaining any attention.
Again, I have no idea how legal it is. I have both Apple and android devices and never use iMessage. But you gotta hand it to Beeper devs. That’s some old school hacker shit and I’m here for it.
I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
That is even worse, they knew they were compromising privacy and still boasts about being privacy centric. It’s like Saudi Arabia claiming to be a utopia while actively using modern slavery in the background.
Apple and Google are both guilty of this. Frankly, however, neither of them are particularly “guilty”,
Google doesn’t claim to be a herald of digital privacy, nor its users claim Google is a saint.
Elizabeth Warren sends terse letter
“We’re getting a bad reputation for facilitating the war against civilians, time for some positive PR. someone pass this on to the guardian”
Firefox being irrelevant and Safari coming to the rescue against Chrome is a pipedream. Apart from their upper management issues and community unfriendly UI department, Firefox is doing just fine imo.
Firefox’s stats look bad because they block trackers by default (enhanced protection) and most news sites and tech “journalist” take a user stats off of a tracking company (statcounter), which depends on script placed on websites to “track” users which is blocked.
Firefox users are also more likely to use superior adblocks and privacy extensions which doesn’t do its usage metrics any justice. There are also popular forks which come with these things inbuilt which are still Firefox.
Apple should start allowing alternative browser engine on iOS and also start blocking trackers by default too, since it so overwhelmingly likes to market itself as “privacy friendly” and see how soon its usage stats drop.
This is coming from a Firefox user who remebers the founding of Mozilla and the company name being a combination of Mosaic and Godzilla.
