on windows and mac they just get a prompt and a lot of people don't read it, care, nor wonder what it's actually doing they just want it to work.
I know you all know this but companies will do this knowing that exploiting all of us.
I use Linux and agreed on all those points. when I used adobe before it wanted to charge me a fee to cancel my subscription and wouldn't let me just 'cancel' in their system so I just blocked the payments on my card and dipped out.
Make the fine scale, and fit the severity of the issue. This should be $375 Billion not $375 Million. These are our future generations they're destroying.
not the first time, I stopped using manjaro when I noticed ping.manjaro.org was being pinged every 30 seconds on a new router I setup. nothanks on that.
but seriously, sudo crontab -e, @monthly cerbot renew
Note that the certbot instructions are to renew 2x a day with up to one hour of randomized delay; using @monthly as suggested here will result in occasional outages if the "once a month" renewal attempt fails in two consecutive months due to transient peak service blips (such as those caused by '@monthly' hardcoding for month X day 1 time 00:00 often UTC without randomization), especially as Let's Encrypt drops their lifetimes to 45 days over the next 2 years, which would result in certificates avoidably expiring in production. Please instead use certbot's recommended 2x/day renew with a random sleep of up to an hour before initiating each attempt; at least one of cronie, at, bash, python, perl random sleep methods are available on most* platforms, and are offered up by the crontab-command generator at https://certbot.eff.org/instructions .
* There is a stack overflow page from 2016 filled with solutions for Busybox, so I'd say 'all' rather than 'some' but someone out there is hosting a webserver on a potato, so better safe than sorry.
Seeing more and more of 'This message is unavailable' - 'Discord requires ID in order to see certain messages'
Pretty much an AI detecting vulgarity and blocking it, although actual racist, vulgarity gets through things like 'here with my gock' to 'troll it' are what I've seen.
So, yes it is a requirement, and yes, they are censoring people and things, and requiring others to have an ID to see the messages as well.
So 'Not mandatory for all accounts' is technically true, but I mean.. you get it, hopefully.
> You will be able to join a Discord with your friends, chat, and do voice without age verification.
No, building a community is a goal for many; this just isn't acceptable.
> So the claim that Discord is making ID verification "mandatory" or that you need it for gaming chats is untrue.
Again, not mandatory but creates more issues than it solves.
> We didn't review the entire source code
And, you don't see the issue with that? Facebook was bypassing security measures for mobile by sending data to itself on localhost using websockets and webrtc.
An audit of 'they can't read it cryptographically' but the app can read it, and the app sends data in all directions. Push notifications can be used to read messages.
Push-to-Sync. We observed 8 apps employ a push-to-sync strat-
egy to prevent privacy leakage to Google via FCM. In this mitigation
strategy, apps send an empty (or almost empty) push notification
to FCM. Some apps, such as Signal, send a push notification with
no data (aside from the fields that Google sets; see Figure 4). Other
apps may send an identifier (including, in some cases, a phone num-
ber). This push notification tells the app to query the app server
for data, the data is retrieved securely by the app, and then a push
notification is populated on the client side with the unencrypted
data. In these cases, the only metadata that FCM receives is that the
user received some message or messages, and when that push noti-
fication was issued. Achieving this requires sending an additional
network request to the app server to fetch the data and keeping
track of identifiers used to correlate the push notification received
on the user device with the message on the app server.
Maybe I’m mis-interpreting what you mean, but without a notification when a message is sent, what would you correlate a message-received notification with?
Nothing changed, but many people struggle to understand their our own degree of relative ignorance and overvalue high-level details that are leaky abstractions which make the consequentially dissimilar look superficially similar.
