Same, since debian potato, and forced to use windows in my work.

Israel has been a key USA asset for destabilizing the region from, at leat, the times of Kissinger as secretary of state and to stop socialist panarab projects like then ones of Nasser or the Ba’aths parties.

In Ukraine, yes. The US is fighting a proxy war against Russia. The last 30 years of NATO expansion and USA animosity against Russia are enough evidence in my opinion.

In Palestine, no. Israel and the USA are committing a Genocide against the Palestinians, or at least, is a USA backed Genocide.

I agree that signal has a more robust security model. What I mean is that itbhasbalso habe risks, and a lot of people are ignoring it.

The backdoor could be a sleeping function activated from outside to targets of interest or ‘special’ updates from the google store (i.e.: with the help of google install a different version of the app to the target). But I’m not a security nor android expert, and it’s all theoretical if this attack vector is possible, but I think that is unlikely.

Also, if the NATO country where I live wants to spy my mobile, it would use Pegasus 🤷🏽‍♀️

Off topic: The Signal reproducible builds don’t work since, at least, may.

There were 15 million estimated deaths (direct or indirect) by the end of 2021.

Signal can add backdoors to their own app and, if the app get compromised (or the device) the security of the encryption model is not relevant. It’s the reason because I see comparable Signal and Telegram.

Signal is open source, but (info based in this 3 years old thread on f-droid):

1. Have binary blobs and propietary dependencies.
2. Don’t let reproducible builds.
3. It’s hostile to forks (they blocked libreSignal from their servers)
4. Don’t want independent builds from f-droid (nor any fork in f-droid)

Which no seems FOSS friendly.

nd when a judge or a 3 letters agency will request to Signal that they want access to the messages that somebody will send from a date?

It’s their app, and they can do it. Do you think that they will refuse?

At least one of your down votes is for being racist and ableist. Could you remove it?

From wikipedia:

To pay for sex is a form of exploiting; the consent is not really free. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, and I think that the exploitation of sex workers is one of the worst.

But morale is very subjective, and sex work is a very complex matter, where a lot of people, most of them women, work in very dangerous conditions and in situations of extreme need.

This article is a not sense. There is not a monopoly of identity: a lot of corporations and big tech have an ID about us or, at least, about me.

Also, in my case, the state have paid most of my education, my healthcare, the street where I live… nor google not other big tech have paid a dime for it.

The critic in the article has his points, but the proposed solution—using capitalist enterprises to issue IDs—is nonsense. We will lose track of people from a fiscal point of view, and it will not solve the problem of the people that not any corporation would issue an ID.

Debian has a list of vendors who sell it in a media (USB, DVD…), some of them also sell other distros.

There is a IHDI (inequality-adjusted Human Development Index):
