Your Phone Is Vulnerable Because of 2G, But it Doesn't Have to Be

EFF, once again, explains privacy flaws and how to protect against them. We think 4G could solve the problem of 2G but, in fact, phone cells can always downgrade our connection to 2G

Hi folks! 9 years ago (to the day), the late Aaron Swartz made the first commit to SecureDrop, which was then called DeadDrop. Today the project is used by >70 media orgs around the world.

It's an open source whistleblower submission platform that uses the Tor network to protect source anonymity. We're also working on a next-generation integrated workstation for journalists based on Qubes OS:

Yeah.

Ugh. This is a thing with the new Android update. Turned on by default.

Hey folks, does anyone here on Fosstodon have a shared hosting package that I would be able to point a test sub-domain at and install WordPress on for a few days please?

It's for a post I'm working on.

Note: it HAS to be shared hosting, I have a VPS of my own, so although I appreciate the offer, I don't need a VPS.

Thanks!

- Some people have been warning about its consequences for years
- Most people don't care because they don't feel concerned, they can't see it affecting them
- A few companies are making a lot of damage with the help of governments
- When we will face the consequences it will be too late
- We can still do something about it, and the sooner the better
