Completely terrifying. Is anyone, like immigration activists, following up on this? Or is everyone just sort of shrugging and moving on?

How is it possible that 1300+ people have disappeared and there’s not more awareness? Are the news channels not covering it or investigating it?

Oh no! Not Microslop! They’re my favorite! What do I do?

My concern is that there is enough documentation on who isn’t calling people, who has no connection to anyone…

If there were racist genocidal people within the system and they were able to recognize each other (via tattoos, memberships) and then assign each other to certain duties, if certain people were put into cargo planes and dumped over the ocean, I’m not sure anyone would know.

It’s very hard for detainees to communicate with anyone in places like that if the detainee doesn’t have money or anyone willing to accept a call. If someone who was a racist genocidal person was put in charge of putting people into groups (based on lawyers, family contact, etc), people who were completely disconnected could be put into a unique group, put in a certain part of a facility, and flown in cargo planes together.

I just don’t know how likely this is. CECOT is a facility that holds people in a way that many international organizations would consider torture. If people were being killed in there, including people deported by the USA, I am very sure people would not know.

If we don’t know where 1200 people who were previously detained have gone as a society, and if there’s no record of where they were sent, it’s hard to fathom the state didn’t kill them, although I don’t know.

I’m very ignorant on all of this. 25% was just a randomly chosen number. But what about 10% or 5%? I just don’t entirely understand the purpose of making immigrants being deported untrackable unless the point is to make it easier to kill them, because if the purpose was just to make it harder to legally contest deportation, the system could just be very slow but have slow tracking built into it… but it doesn’t have that, right? I really don’t know the answers to any of this.

that’s a brutal hack. so they hacked the hosting update server, made it monitor incoming IPs, and then selectively uploaded a compromised backdoor update based on IP only to certain computers so it would go undetected longer?

it’s awful, but technically impressive that someone could remotely hack the server like that and set up such a complex system to target IPs… unless it was a state actor that compelled the server company to provide local access, in which case it’s less impressive.

shoutout to evilsocket! nothing like this ever gets access with opensnitch

She has kids. Maybe she is actually such a good mom she’s trying to hold it together for them. To me, it’s crazy people are judging this woman… She’s the mom who is choosing to keep being happy after something awful happened to her, showing her kids how to keep the faith and keep carrying on. I don’t agree with her policies or religious views, but everyone being judgmental of her is shocking to me.

If she’s actually a Christian and believes in Christianity 100 percent, she would believe her dead husband is now in heaven. Why would she be sad about that if she really believes? She also has kids. Is she supposed to be sad and mope around all the time? Would it be better for her kids if she constantly was crying and not talking to anyone and staying in her room all day? Should she have thrown herself on a pyre after?

It’s fine to be critical of this woman for disagreeing with her political views, but it’s outrageous and gross for criticizing how she responds to her husband’s death. Some people like to put on a happy face in public and we have no idea what she is going through in private.

They constantly measure DomRect using javascript, which is a unique hardware-based metric that can be used to track individual users.

Imagine the cost of running duck.ai. What exactly is the revenue that it brings in?

Of course, if it were some honeypot, using DomRects to track users (and DomRect is not protected by Tor Browser or Mullvad Browser etc), well then it doesn’t really matter if it’s not bringing in much revenue since it’s value is in being a honeypot.

Yes, DomRect can be used legitimately in coding without tracking users… but why does ddg need to use this when they know that it CAN be used to track users and users have no way to audit the servers?

It’s really interesting they measure DomRect and not Canvas when privacy-aware users often block canvas fingerprinting but don’t block DomRect.

It’s sus

It’s a honeypot, so of course making it so anyone can use it, even without a phone number, even with a mobile device, is not a priority.

I can’t fathom that Signal is not a honeypot.

Back when I tried to register, not only did they want a phone number (which usually links to IRL KYC stuff) but they also wanted me to complete a google captcha that took different metrics (canvas, etc) of my device.

Why is that needed? They say it’s to reduce spam, I just don’t believe it it.

Not only that, I can’t register using a linux system. I simply MUST register with a mobile device (that I will likely have on me) that can potentially track me through the cellular modem in the device and also likely has listening devices inside the device and a camera attached that is very hard to cover (because it’s embedded into the glass and and covering it with anything messes with the swipe up function).

No organization would create something that is so incredibly hostile to people who don’t want mobile phones and don’t want numbers unless they were a honeypot. I even think that Signal was created in a large part to try to siphon popularity away from XMPP before it could reach mass adoption.

I don’t understand what venv is or why this would work better. Will this make the compatibility issues go away? I could also just create a virtual Ubuntu environment that’s fresh if that would be easier and try to give that environment access to my GPU but I don’t know if that would work.

because it’s encrypted by https and my VPN has a decent reputation. Yes, it’s possible that the VPN is secretly selling everything they can to big data, but if it were exposed then it would ruin their entire business.
