@Qwant Project Zero is doin’ the Lord’s work

@croqaz The Tick: SPOOOOOOOOOON!

@niconiconi @natecull I’m actually kinda curious how the big boys are handling all the speculative execution processor vulns. I mean no doubt they have mitigations, but I suspect it’s the nation states not the little guys who have effective tools to leverage these into workable exploits.

@lachs0r@nazrin.moe @dtluna Indeed, the ball was certainly dropped along the way. Or intentionally thrown off the court. But realistically, that is how humans tend to govern themselves; we can plan forward years and occasionally a decade or two, but certainly not centuries. Competitive little beasties that we are, most governments would happily solidify geopolitical advantage even if it meant a hundred years from now the entire world collapsed.

@lachs0r@nazrin.moe @dtluna To be fair, at this point there is not really much that can be done individually or collectively to halt climate change; barring something catastrophic like a nuclear war, we are on track for enough warming to activate quite a few climactic feedback loops, meaning more or less a collapse of society and massive disruption to most ecosystems within the century. This seems like less of a funny skit as time goes on: https://youtu.be/XM0uZ9mfOUI

@kandyelmo @federationbot Because WhatsApp does not keep your messages on their servers? It’s a security thing.

@natecull Regardless of world events, AES remains politically neutral.

@natecull If only there were mathematical systems in existence to ensure that your data were only accessible by authorized parties!

@SatyrBuddy Not much anyone individually can do about it. Not really much people can collectively do about it, either, at this point. It'll be interesting watching how the headlines change over the next couple decades as people figure that out.

Kicking the can down to the endpoints -- but really, haven't you always had to trust your app / OS? Unless you coded or audited it yourself from top to bottom and built your own hardware (hah), there is always a level of trust required in the code/device.

It is proven! I am digicana on Keybase: https://keybase.io/digicana/sigchain#1a84117cfd89dc7f691b2d4d1c625f534fb637ff584de4a21eeba6227b3f06360f

@codewiz Pretty sure corporate middleboxes aren't going away, one way or another -- enterprises don't like the idea of all the traffic entering and exiting their networks going opaque.
