Use FreeTube?

I didn’t know this app existed. Anyway, the project was discontinued.

That’s true, all devices are hackable, there’s no 100% protection.
No tool is perfect, but if that’s a security improvement, it might be worth enabling.

I know of at least one instance where lockdown mode protected a user from NSO spyware.
A Citizen Lab’s research confirmed it:

For a brief period, targets that had enabled iOS 16’s Lockdown Mode feature received real-time warnings when PWNYOURHOME exploitation was attempted against their devices. Although NSO Group may have later devised a workaround for this real-time warning, we have not seen PWNYOURHOME successfully used against any devices on which Lockdown Mode is enabled.

It is encouraging to see that Apple’s Lockdown Mode notified targets of in-the-wild attacks. While any one security measure is unlikely to blunt all targeted spyware attacks, and security is a multi-faceted problem, we believe this case highlights the value of enabling this feature for high-risk users that may be targeted because of who they are or what they do.

Can any of them prevent a Pegasus-style attack?

If I understand correctly, Apple does it by disabling common attack vectors, remote fonts for example.

~43% of all Lemmy’s monthly active users are on lemmy.world .

Yeah, that’s even worse.

The instance has too many people registered. It has ~27% of all Mastodon’s monthly active users.

A huge part of the network was down. People should be encouraged to migrate to smaller instances, so we can have better decentralization.

The update seems to be bugged. I tried to upgrade version 0.0.57 to 0.0.58, and it seems like nothing have changed. I’m still on 0.0.57 after a “successful” install.

I’m glad you’ve edited you’re blog post so now the country of Qatar is mentioned, which was not the case before. At least there’s some progress here.

But I believe that your description of the situation is currently still misleading, especially the title “Israel funded Hamas”. Again, it might just be a language issue, but It seems like your claim is that Israel took money from its own budget, and gave it to Hamas (directly or indirectly). If that’s actually you’re claim, there’s no source you’ve cited that actually says that. Is that your claim? Please correct me if I’m wrong.

It’s hard for me to tell if you’ve actually addressed the point I was making, because all you did is adding quotations. So I don’t know if you’ve accepted my correction that it was not Israeli money nor US tax payers’ money, but in fact was Qatari money, just as your sources say.

So to be clear, I’m not arguing about the fact that Netanyahu’s strategy was to allow Qatari money to be handed to Hamas in Gaza, for the purpose of preventing peace talks with Fatah’s Palestinian Authority. That is obviously true.

[11] Haaretz:

It’s important to remember that without those funds from Qatar (and Iran), Hamas would not have had the money to maintain its reign of terror, and its regime would have been dependent on restraint.

In practice, the injection of cash (as opposed to bank deposits, which are far more accountable) from Qatar, a practice that Netanyahu supported and approved, has served to strengthen the military arm of Hamas since 2012.

I support the idea of the use of Monero as digital cash. So obviously I’m against the attempt to ban Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

English isn’t my native language, but I find that your description of the Israel-Hamas situation is misleading. In the same article that you cite, it clearly says that Hamas received money from the Qatari government, that’s where the suitcases full of cash came from. It was not Israeli money nor US tax payers’ money. The ones funding terror are Qatar and Iran.

If you’re willing to share, have you tried the service yet? If so, did you get what you wanted? How was the user experience?

Good to know. Thank you for your answers!

Cool.

And what about identifiable and personal information? Such as physical address, phone number, full name etc? Is there any requirement to provide it to you or them?

When you say there’s no KYC, does it mean that you don’t require it or that both you and the card provider don’t require KYC?

Yes, I’ve never used it with Coinbase. I don’t live in the US, and I don’t think Coinbase is even available in my country.

Moon/PayWithMoon was way better, convince me otherwise.

You mean Pixel 5.

If an app on one device connects to an app on another via Veilid, it shouldn’t be possible for either client to know the other’s IP address or location from that connectivity, which is good for privacy, for instance. The app makers can’t get that info, either.

Is that considered a new thing? I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a P2P service/protocol that also masks IP addresses.

When you hide read posts, are my own posts hidden? Is there a distinction between read posts on my feed versus read posts on a specific community page? Or maybe it just hides everything?

Relatively high number of RCE vulnerabilities.

IMHO that’s a highly requested feature.
