I looked at some info for reporting this to the kernel developers but the process is too complicated at the time. I’m currently a bit short on time but I did report it to libinput, maybe they can give pointers where exactly to report this.
On Mastodon they said there will be a blog post outlining the changes. That will probably be out tomorrow because that’s when alpha 2 officially launches.
!helldivers2@lemmy.ca just dropping this here to help growing smaller communities :)
Yea but many of them were involved. The Audi CEO at the time was on the board making the decision and the first to be convicted.
Don’t worry, I don’t think you are. I just think there’s a reason they admitted so easily. Probably just another calculated fallout to save all their other brands from their own mini backlash which would ultimately cause more damage.
But yes, the whole industry is a dumpster fire when it comes to regulations and also lobbying.
I mean they also own like half the industry. So, I don’t feel particularly bad for them to be honest.
I mean if they’d use the backdoor no one would know. It’s not like they would declare ah ye we used our secret Signal backdoor.
That’s not how it works. All metadata is also E2EE with the same protocol. Even if they control all servers it wouldn’t change much.
I think we can be pretty damn sure that the encryption is not backdoored since the Signal Protocol is the gold standard in encryption nowadays and thousands if not more highly skilled cryptographers without tied to the US govt looked at it thoroughly. Also Snowden calls Signal the best messenger on the grounds on him using it daily and still being alive so that’s also a pretty good sign.
Also, do you have a source about them being mainly funded by the US govt? In their blog they talked about mainly being funded by small donors and a few initial loans from people who care about privacy.
I mean they did also inject affiliate links without the users noticing which is really shady behaviour from a browser because it has one job, open the link I click and nothing else. But that’s just IMHO if that is acceptable for you personally then there is no issue with that.
Just leaving this here for everyone! This browser extension saved me a lot of hassle so many times. We need to stop paying where possible and this is the convenient legal way for a lot of papers out there: https://unpaywall.org/
I’m not sure that Proton can fix your problem. However, I feel like this project would love your help with capturing the USB traffic to get it supported and hopefully upstreamed in the kernel some day :)
