@fribbledom That's how they make sure old people get the vaccine first. They sign up on paper, while young ones try online 😅
Request for donation solution recommendations (KoFi, buyMeACoffee, Paypal, Liberapay, etc)
@FiXato
Liberapay is nice

So services will either not serve Poland at all, or else will need a capability of inhibiting access to content on a per-country level (which means identifying the country from which a user is visiting the service)?
A good way of entrenching the richest companies.

@kawaiipunk Interestingly, in the video the guy who demoes the bug says the assembly has been very sloppy, especially soldering to the battery.
I was thinking about checking but with three pentests going in parallel I decided the world of OSINT will survive without me :)

An interesting wiretapping implant found in an iPhone of a Russian opposition activist. Equipped with an independent SIM and GPS tracker, it was discovered because whoever installed it also broke speaker and FaceId.

@Gargron Polish gov is generally very supportive towards US GOP, and especially the diehard wing of it. I don't think it's anything more than a nice gesture to talk about in the Polish and US conservative media, although it's possible that it's going to be a way to secure social media fake news operations from Poland for the US market.
Just found a great #NHS resource where they critically comment on popular #health related news stories about supplements, alternative therapies etc. Most of these stories are click-baits that get the #statistics completely wrong even if the underlying research was perfectly sound.

@GNUxeava Someone once proved phone numbers used for 2FA could be used to target ads at people.

Me: "How about you switch to a decentralized alternative?"
Normie: "Fuck that! I'll just make a mock account on Facebook!"
Me: "That won't do anything. They'll still know who you are through your phone"
Normie: "Then I will make a WhatsApp mockup account! They won't know it's me!"
Me: "Oh, really? Will you also provide a fake, probably stolen phone number too? Will you use a proxy, TOR, I2P, or at least a VPN to hide your IP address? Will you also route your DNS queries through TOR or at least a safe enough DNS server over HTTPS? Will you also root your device and spoof your MAC address, as well as your IMEI, phone brand, model, serial number, OS version, AND your WLAN SSID? Will also ALL of your contacts do the exact same thing, so that they don't know who is who and who is contacting who? Will you at least give a fake name?"

I'm facing the same dilemmas with my "normal" friends and relatives I've just really given up, and the most advocacy I do is to recommend switching to Signal or Telegram or, with more tech-savvy people, to Matrix :)
You can bridge Signal to Matrix using its desktop app API but you still need a Signal app installed on an Android phone (or emulator) because they block any independent client implementations.
I agree, mixing up CIB with instances of individual content removal devaluates the former.
At the end of the day this is all about business. The ultimate goal of Twitter is to make money to its shareholders, that we can chat there is just a business service. Businesses come and go, but people always find a novel way to satisfy their need to socialise.
We had all that AOL, MySpace and dozens of other services that are now forgotten, and they all had their own little "who blocked whom" dramas back in their times.
And we had Usenet, IRC or Wikipedia all that time.
