IT #security often fails due to the #carelessness and #incompetence of #users.

Probably this time too:
n-tv.de/politik/So-kam-der-Jou

Unfortunately, prematurely unsettling #headlines appeared on #ntv, among others: @ntv ‘How secure is the messenger service Signal?’ (n-tv.de/technik/Wie-sicher-ist).

Dear stubborn #BigTech users: ‘This incident would also have happened if you had communicated via Pony Express or fax.’

Too bad the #press isn't communicating this clearly!

Apple ID Hack — New Warning For 2 Billion Users

Apple has long since had an air of invulnerability about it as far as users have been concerned; be they iPhone, iPad or Mac fans, the ecosystem has been thought of as pretty darn secure. Like most security assumptions, however, it is wrong. […]

Big question, Why ATProtocol from #BlueSkySocial #PBC’s mouth instead of Mastodon and ActivityPub?:

“Why not use ActivityPub? #ActivityPub is a federated social networking technology popularized by #Mastodon.

Account #portability is a major reason why we chose to build a separate protocol. We consider portability to be crucial because it protects #users from sudden bans, server shutdowns, and policy disagreements. Our #solution for portability requires both signed data repositories and #DIDs, neither of which are easy to retrofit into ActivityPub. The migration #tools for ActivityPub are comparatively limited; they require the original server to provide a redirect and cannot migrate the user's previous data.

Another major reason is #scalability. #ActivityPub depends heavily on delivering messages between a wide network of small-to-medium sized nodes, which can cause individual #nodes to be flooded with traffic and generally struggles to provide global views of #activity.”

Short version, WE CANT CONTROL YOU.

“#Mozilla is made up of several organizations, one of which is the #MozillaCorporation, which develops Firefox and other technologies, and another is its nonprofit and tax-exempt #MozillaFoundation, which oversees Mozilla’s corporate governance structure and sets the browser maker’s policies. Much of Mozilla’s work focused on advocating for #privacy, #inclusion, and #decentralization of #technologies, and “to create #safer, more #transparent online experiences for #everyone,” which ultimately benefit the #browser maker and its #users.

Announcing the layoffs in an email to all employees on October 30, the Mozilla Foundation’s executive director #NabihaSyed confirmed that two of the foundation’s major divisions — #Advocacy and #GlobalPrograms — are “no longer a part of our structure.””

There you go. One side of Mozilla builds the tools of the Internet, the other does… I can’t for the life of me see what. It’s the #MozillaFoundation who cant engineer the tools that are doing “deals” with others to make things safer.

The power to make change for the better of the Internet is being moved from direct impact, ie: basic technology and applied applications TO soft corporate influence through manifestos, papers, jobs and pay for influencers and collaborations with third parties…

I know what is more effective. Basic engineering and applied products because it scales.

A splendid initiative by our youth!
Go, go, #CtrlAltReclaim ✊

But what's this whole fetishism with #users again? You are #People! Keep remembering that, people. It is only bad tech that makes you a user in weird dependency relationships.

> "We’ve got plans for a world where we - the users - come first, not tech bro’s profits."

Consider: We already had true people-based social before internet. Techies added this leaky abstraction, the User. It leaks #Humanity.

As the first generation to grow up online, we understand all that the internet can bring: community and connection across continents and cultures, participation in movements that can change the world, instant access to information and services on a scale never dreamed of in history. But a tiny group of CEOs have taken this gift, this product of collective creativity – and claimed it for themselves. They’ve commandeered its networks; walled in its profits; built vast, opaque monopolies that answer to no one. And in the process, they’ve put our lives at risk. Here’s how:

#Meta’s #betrayal of #LGBTQ+ #users goes even deeper than we thought.

We’re all still reeling from the news that #Meta—and by extension #Instagram and #Threads—will commit to turning a #blindeye to #antiLGBTQ+ #hatespeech for the foreseeable future. But a new detail found on the site’s “#transparencycenter” shows just how worrisome the new #change is.
