Commented in Shim vulnerability exposes most Linux systems to attack
I think that not using network-boot is a good solution, but not in a work-environment. Another, and way better solution that fits the Linux (and open source) mentality is using computers that are built to run Linux.
My experiences with Secure Boot are, at best, really bad unless it was truely possible to turn it off. IMO Secure Boot has hardly anything to do with security, but more with enforcing products on consumers and reducing options and choice. -
Commented in Reddit Says It Was Hacked But That You Don't Need to Worry. Probably.
Reddit reported a security incident earlier this month that compromised some company data, but user data is believed to be safe. The incident was caused by a phishing attack. Reddit has reassured users that their data was not impacted, at least to the company's knowledge so far.

Commented in Rocky Linux offers code security patches and info in real-time.
But, on a serious note, it can never hurt when someone tries out new types of security or wants a better transparancy with sources and downloads. It's not the distro itself that counts in this story, but just how it gets handled. I am happy with the distro I use, but it's always good to see where experiments like this will go.

Commented in An FCC commissioner calls on Apple and Google to remove TikTok from their app stores, saying it's a national security risk
National security risk: an uncontrollable outlet for dissent. And, of course, a popular non-American business that undermines their own (financial) interests or that of their lobbyists (like those from Meta, for instance).

That's all. For the rest: let the world go by, motherfucker. Nobody's waiting for some colonial asshat-idea of how the world should be. It's organic, like everything else. Enjoy the ride!! :-)

Commented in SolarWinds security fiasco may have started with simple password blunders
"The bottom line: We may never know the full range and extent of the damage, and we may never know the full range and extent as to how the stolen information is benefiting an adversary."
Okay, so an intern leaves the password "solarwinds123" on Github and then the Russians, a thousand of them - AT LEAST - "hacked into their servers" to obtain a not specified amount of information that can do not really specified damage. Or not. The password was on Github since 2017, which is four years ago, and nothing was done about it, when those bloody Russians (or Chinese, or Dutch, or, god forbid, some (1000!!) people from a non existing country) picked that password up and used it to undermine national security, or so, in the US.
Why not blame everything on a non-specified intern every time something like this comes in the (already a sewer of a) news-feed? That saves a lot of time, money and, most of all, head space. Or is the world doing so great that bull-shittery like this becomes the new standard for politics and is common sense passé?
I don't know how other readers on this very high standard website think about this, but somehow this reeks as a shitty story so bad, that even artificial intelligence doesn't want to have anything to do with it. Or, as we call it here in this household: propagande merdique.

Commented in Amazon and Apple 'not playing their part' in tackling electronic waste
They should exempt them from or give them a discount on the recycling program if they are willing to actually support their devices for a longer amount of time. I'm not saying you need to update the ios version for 10 years, but maybe patch for security flaws so finance apps and others that require up to date security will stick around keeping devices out of landfills, I have an iPhone 5c sitting in a drawer that still turns on, can make calls and receive texts, but it's no longer updated so apps have moved on because it's on too old of software so I had to move on. They could also maybe offer more than a dollar of trade in value on these things, it's not worth the time to mail my old device back if they are only giving me 10 bucks for it.

Commented in New Windows 10 update permanently removes Adobe Flash
By doing that, they'll remove quite some security issues. Not that it really matters when the rest of the software still sucks, but hey, let's be optimistic. :-) Ah, a small note: it's 2020.

Commented in Netflix Indicted in Texas Over "Cuties" movie's "prurient interest in sex"
moral panic hysteria
people who play LPs backward and find Satanism in Chris De Burgh's "Lady in Red" or Harry Potter clearly have too much time on their hands to be outraged by what is clearly, in this case, nothing more than fiction inspired by contemporary culture
Cuties is clearly a film about widespread cultural nymphomania driving little girls into being sexualized from a young age in the same way it pressurizes women into being oversexualized past the age of consent. which is to say that film is every bit about pedophilia by way of societal norms as it is about gender biased chauvinism by way of societal norms; societal norms laid bare and discovered by young people who merely mimic behavior in order to seek attention and find acceptance in a continuing and self-perpetuated cycle
and the movie is hardly subtle on this topic. it really hammers the audience over the head with the theme. to the point where it becomes utterly unenjoyable as a drama about a character. i struggled to finish it; i only didn't assume presentation morality lesson déjà vu because of controversy surrounding it so i watched till the bitter fucking Hollywood end - where the protagonist inexplicably abandons all behavioral momentum, and, for reasons yet to be determined, mid Act III climax, does a complete 180 reversal and gives the audience the proverbial "happy ending"
the movie is more akin to an after-school TV special; a moral lesson with clear-cut, black/white message. there's virtually no theatrical nuance, no sub-themes, no character development, no suspense or drama to speak of all reflected in the film's cinematographic style, ham-fistedly made to look to be documentary-like; observational, not dramatic
it is a single-perspective film, with all other characters made to look as either 2-dimensional cardboard cutouts or, in the case of father figure, absent altogether (the protagonist's father, a major plot device is spoken of frequently but is only ever spoken of and makes an appearance as a phone voice for a sum total of 10 seconds of "screen-time")
on a personal note - compromising the material in order to have moral alibi on the publicity tour is not an approach i particularly value artistically. im more inclined to applaud thematic subtlety and direct, confrontational publicity rather than the other way around (it is in my view, if nothing else, braver to chose to defend oneself from accusations of sensationalizing a topic over offending the religiously extreme but that's just me)
in spite the production team's effort to make their case that this movie should and could never be interpreted pornographically even more obvious than it could possibly be by hit-you-over-the-head plot constructs, those who are most guilty of sexualizing minors with actual sex abuse, deliberately chose to ignore these material compromises (presumably made in order to avoid the very politicizing of media to fabricate public concern by feigning it) and the filmmakers now appear to be in the midst of discovering that, as the saying goes, those who trade liberty in exchange for a little bit of security receive, in kind, ample amounts of neither of those; a most unfortunate and foreseeable set of circumstances
be that as it may, to set aside the interpretation of Cuties as something other than a critique of the very hypocrites whose scrutiny it was inevitably to fall under and to interpret the backlash against it by deliberately ignoring the painstaking effort ...

Commented in Michael Sandel: 'The populist backlash has been a revolt against the tyranny of merit'
“I had prepared a long list of what I thought were very tough questions,” recalls Sandel, now 67, via video-link from his study in Boston. “On Vietnam, on the right of 18-year-olds to vote – which Reagan opposed – on the United Nations, on social security. I thought I would make short work of him in front of that audience. He responded genially, amiably and respectfully. After an hour I realised I had not prevailed in this debate, I had lost. He had won us over without persuading us with his arguments. Nine years later he would get elected to the White House in the same way.”
Such an extraordinary difference to modern US politics.

Commented in TikTok may be 'data collection service disguised as social media', Liberal senator says
And open to any government. Keep in mind, how China uses information is a bit more aggressive than other countries. I know, I live in Hong Kong. Think about this, the security law they just passed says that even if you are not a citizen of China, if you write about anything that is in non compliance with that law anywhere in the world, like Taiwan should declare independence, you are subject to arrest if you enter Chinese territory. Out of control.

Commented in Adobe Flash Cut-Off Will Kill Millions Of Websites
When using several techniques/languages/coding with the (open source) W3C-standards as guideline, Flash could be obsolete for many years already. If I'm correct this has been going on for about 10 years, especially after the discovery of many security-holes in the "software".
Good use of HTML, CSS , plus some jQuery/AJAX, and Flash is not needed. Ah, Flash is also proprietary. Less plugins make better webdesign. ;-) -
Commented in New AI Can Make Blurry Photos 60x More Sharper
The researchers clarified that the new AI tool doesn't have the capability to make an out-of-focus, unrecognizable image from a security camera into a high-resolution photo of a real person. But, it can generate new faces, which doesn't really exist, that is plausibly realistic
mhm-k
The report stated that although the AI tool's concept is focused by the scientists in faces, it can also be applied in medicine and microscopy, also in satellite and astronomy imagery to take low-resolution shots of almost anything and transforming into realistic-looking, sharp pictures
???
Wait... what? How would it ... wut?

Commented in California’s statehouse is considering a controversial facial recognition bill
what's the problem? OCP and RoboCop ftw. if surveillance is good then automated surveillance is double plus good
jokes aside - automating CCTV footage analysis makes it cheaper so it's the inevitable next step. a harder thing to do would be to even out Gini coefficient to decrease demand for surveillance (well harder without tax reform but that is virtually impossible to get American public to vote in their own interest on the count of media being privately owned and whatnot - to my knowledge neither presidential candidate in the upcoming national election has indicated they have any intent on closing the offshore tax loophole for the multinationals and they are both furiously supported by each of their respective would-be electoral college)
anyhoo - before we go all the way to the bottom of that rabbit hole - surveillance to prevent crime is inevitable in societies with inequality off the charts. technology doesn't drive the demand for surveillance but demand for surveillance will put tech for surveillance into GDP
thus making it profitable and interweaving it into the economy as well as giving lobbying political power to security companies with the effect compounding over time (see military-industrial complex for another example)
imagine when security companies start mergers and acquisitions until you get to the subsidiary conglomerate version of Disney in security - Corpolice Inc.
now imagine Corpolice Inc. being taken over by Comcast-LockheedMartin
yikes
come to think of it - imaging Comcast-LockheedMartin. double yikes

Commented in Facebook spent $23.4 million in 2019 on Mark Zuckerberg's security and private air travel
Is this really a surprise to anyone? I suspect he needs the security with all the whacko's out there ready to take him out because their page was taken down or censored.

Commented in Are ad blockers doomed or have we already won? A history lesson
As recently as June of 2019 Google was actively planning to break ad-blockers by creating and implementing their Manifest v3 changes, which would change how the API's that the blockers use work. source
In November, they started implementing the change in the development branch, Chrome Canary. source
Google's Response to the public outcry in June was to claim, No, Chrome isn’t killing ad blockers -- we’re making them safer So much like politicians like to scream for the kids, Google plans to scream for security! Despite months prior claiming it was to increase performance.
If you are thinking well I'll just use Firefox or Microsoft Edge, well Firefox likes to remain compatibility with Chrome so it's easy for extensions to work on both, they don't want a scenario where extensions aren't available for them because most people use Chrome, but they have said they have no plan to implement or make mandatory that specific part of manifest v3. Microsoft had originally come out against the change but then decided to go all-in with Google by making Edge a chromium-based browser so who knows. Mozilla's page on Manifest V3
So to answer the posts original question, we haven't won and the battle rages on with King Google ready to strike a decisively bad blow to adblocking. It really was a bad decision to let an advertising company become the creator of the world's leading internet browser, we should have known one day they would come for the extensions that hurt their bottom line. Much like the ISP owning the Cable companies.

Commented in Why We Should Ban Facial Recognition Technology
It is not a matter of if, it is a matter of when it will become more widespread (or at least more openly known about). Those pushing homeland security will win out over privacy and wrongful use advocates. The next major U.S. terrorist event will push the scales past the point of no return.

Commented in Amazon suspiciously says browser extension Honey is a security risk, now that PayPal owns it
So it was ok when Amazon hooked up with it but now it has security issues because PayPal now owns it. I can only imagine the "behind the scenes" nastiness that goes on between big biz.

Commented in We’re approaching the limits of computer power – we need new programmers now
Also, I think it's important to distinguish inefficient code, bloat, and helpful abstractions for other humans to read (separate things in themselves) from important features. For example, I feel that there shouldn't be so much of a focus on lean code that important but non-end-user-visible things like security features are omitted or weakened.
