I think it's time the kernel hosts its code on something else than Github. I suspect MS will fuck the kernel like they did youtube-dl?

We need more distros with ARM architecture support, especially ones without systemd

@jrballesteros05 @Tutanota Surely there must be a way to mitigate these attacks? Why are you struggling for so long? Are the attack types constantly changing?

@mike Or this one:

I am asking you to do this task, but I actually wanted it done and dusted yesterday already. Hurry up!

@Gina Oh no!

Look at all the wonderful people in the fediverse :)

@Gina what about newpipe?

I was never a fan on Windows and Microsoft products, but Microsoft's turn towards Surveillance Capitalism is truly a big blow.They have access to a LOT of information.

@Gina Surveillance Capitalism is everywhere! It's really concerning.

@emacsen This is possible and probably the correct methodology. I am speculating and thinking "what would FB do?"

How?!

You know how WhatsApp is "end to end encrypted", meaning that FB can't read your messages as a result of the encryption?Now you know how WhatsApp compresses image quality?Now when is compression possible? Before or After encryption?It can't be after encryption, because they can't access an encrypted file or it's details.Which means, the compression happens before encryption, which means Facebook scans/uploads every single image you have ever sent on WhatsApp.
