Probably because they got slashdotted

Not a fan of the marketing speak on that page, as a cryptography nerd there’s a lot of questionable stuff.

SAS authentication is stone cold dead in the LLM age. P2P with friends is trivially trackable by the ISP and can easily map who knows who. ECDSA isn’t “industry leading”, that would be EdDSA or something based on Risetto, or a pq algorithm like ML-DSA

Depends on how repressive.

Often your main method of staying safe is appearing harmless.

You can find dedicated Mastodon and lemmy hosts more receptive to VPN users.

Anonymous use is hard due to stuff like timing attacks and writing style recognition, etc, especially if you post publicly. You want to mimic another style, for example. And create plausible deniability around timings (like say scheduled posts)

Technically stored encrypted, but they also have the keys

Don’t just tweak deadzones, you also want to tweak scaling on joysticks (how large numbers a given angle corresponds to)

EU has similar laws and Dutch law allows for striking illegally collected evidence if the infringement was severe

Just give it a grill faceplate

Just realized my post could be read wrong.

I meant that the above would be forced onto candidates as they sign up for an election.

Move all control of all business into a fully independent trust, or something. Maybe even one controlled in a different country if you’re really paranoid.

Both

They extended Proton with instruction translation (FEX)

Yup, FEX to translate x86 to ARM.

Most of those things would only be possible by hiding them in a system update

It’s possible but complicated.

Since apps have access to the TPM API they can encrypt their own data in such a way that only the app’s own authorized processes can retrieve the decryption key from the TPM chip

There’s measures they could use in theory, but if you switch keyboard app away from Google’s and set private text mode, enable screenshot protection, etc, then you should be good.

For sites you visit occasionally, it’s better to enable tab isolation (use the containers feature) and then enable JS only for that domain (note the difference between allowing JS from that domain in any tab, vs only allowing that tab with that domain to use JS, you should do the latter)

If you’re switching to a different browser you may as well use the same browser but a second clean profile and use private tabs so it doesn’t retain history. Using private tabs in your main browser profile does also help but isn’t perfect because there’s still some metadata leaks occasionally.

Using a different browser could ironically make you easier to track - how unique you are is the main signal used to track you (user agent, OS, language, etc), and going for an even more rare config will help their tracking even if you delete session cookies. Especially if they have a tracker across multiple domains you visit from different browsers from the same IP, with similar device fingerprinting results across browsers. That’s a strong signal those sessions are linked. You want to NOT stand out to maintain your privacy.

Forbidden snacks

Probably the combination of having a controller and touchscreen but NOT having a keyboard. Or recognizing the CPU series (SoC type). Or both.

[Windows subsystem] for [executable environment] is the naming scheme. The default is Win32, there’s one for POSIX (practically never used), and Linux runs in another.
