Article from 2015.
I think that’s the point…
And? It’s somehow less relevant now?
It’s not that it’s less relevant, only that it’s not generally considered good form in terms of web etiquette.
You can disagree if you wish (you are entitled to that right), but that is how it currently is usually.
Etiquette trumps having an ever-looming reality. Smh
Let me introduce me to my lord and saviour: #airplanemode
“Excuse me Mrs. we cannot pick up a smartphone signal near you. Could you please turn on your smartphone for us ?”
“Ah it’s on. But in AIRPLANE MODE !” “oh no !”
You should look up “baseband radio vulnerabilities”.
It is still unknown how many radios have code that might allow a back door similar to Intel’s mgmt engine. But the firmware blobs are all closed, and very few ppl know what they actually contain.
If you don’t want to be tracked, get an open platform device.
And in light of the tools out there that can fingerprint you by a lot of metrics, if you truly don’t want to be tracked, at all, don’t use connected technology.
Hell yeah
All smartphones can be infected, and surveilled/controlled without pressing/downloading anything malicious. Israeli “security” companies (NSO among others) have been selling this malware for many years, to intelligence depts. Around the globe. Probably what got Khashoggi back when.
https://bdsmovement.net/Global-Day-Action-Against-Spyware (I don’t have any dog in the Palestine/Israel conflict, and am very poorly informed on the matter).
no dog in the “conflict”
very poorly informed on the matter
I somehow struggle to believe that you can possibly be poorly informed on the most livestreamed genocide in the history of humanity
And we instantly switch to political bullshit. I also have no fucking clue about the Palestine situation. Yeah, I hear people mention it, and I find stuff about it while going over completely unrelated stuff, and I choose to remain ignorant in the topic because I refuse to add more stress to my life unless there is no other option. You choose to care/follow the topic? Good for you, enjoy OT, I don’t.
Imagine calling a genocide simply political bullshit, lol. How privileged you must be.
I’m so proud of you
Lmao
I am privileged, with a will that allows me to remain away from bullshit if I choose to without caring if anyone gets offended by choices I make that happen to mine to make anyway.
I feel sorry for the crowd that has to ne policing anything different than what they think because their lives are so empty they have nothing to fill them with so that is all they can try.
That’s a very sad way to live, so yeah, I guess I am privileged to not live like that.
I feel sorry for most of the people in your life. Willful ignorance and selfishness sounds like they’re a running theme in your existence.
Our ability to think twice about an ongoing genocide is exactly the privilege being pointed out.
This comment makes me think you might not be aware of that, but I get you probably feel attacked by people’s reactions. Just know that everyone giving backlash is thinking that if you were well informed on the matter, you would think very differently.
I guess, you may be right. In my defense, I have mentioned in all my comments that I am not well informed.
talk about a sad way to live, how cold can one be.
Go barn somewhere else.
Not the same person. I don’t read the news, and I try not to watch genocides. I’m poorly informed about most politics and pretty happy about it to be honest. Sounds like they should probably stop genociding, that’s usually a bad thing to do. But I’m not going to pretend I know what’s actually happening over there or that I can do anything about it.
… Jesus Christ dude 🤮
You got a problem, mate? Or you just going to be passive aggressive via emoji?
The problem is your disgusting privilege.
Nice username by the way. Bonus points for irony
What are you on about lol
You got a problem, mate?
The problem is your disgusting privilege.
I’m conflicted whether I should up vote or down vote your comment
Downvote
Dude is oblivious to a genocide and has no sides on the matter
This is as evil as one can be
Yeah, not being against genocide is pretty damn evil.
How the fuck did you come to that conclusion??!
Time and place, this wasn’t it. Bibi needs to face the ICC and Israel are commiting genocide.
But don’t forget that Hamas are a terrorist organization, and the Palestinian state oppress their own people by social control.
Does that validate oppression and crimes against gumanity,? Of course not.
Are you happy?
When you grow up, you will realize the world is not black and white.
Would you call the Warsaw ghetto uprising a terrorist organization?
This ain’t it chief
Nice straw man, though
Hahaha, explain to me what you think a straw man is.
What I did was called “comparison”. It’s used to help explain a situation using a similar historical event. The events I compared are one to one.
Hamas has many problems but that’s all they have. Israel helped to create Hamas.
There, your so beloved nuanced take. But one that doesn’t disarm the oppresed people being systematically erased by evil colonizers and their critical supporters like you.
How fucking dumb are you , thinking i support Israel? We could nuke the levant and be better off as earth citizens for all I care.
So Israel is a terrorist country, and the resistance group that formed to fight it is… Also a terrorist organization??
Add your downvote to help the people in Gaza! 1 downvote = 1 prayers and thoughts for the victims!
Your cynicism is another form of evil.
And your insistence of downvoting is complacency. You don’t get to feel better about Gaza just because you clicked a button online. How the fuck do you not see that.
Lemmy’s a free country. Go ahead and do both lul
exactly, upvote with one account and downvote with another. lol
Why?
a genocide was being live streamed on social media to millions of people and you’re one of the people who somehow can’t recognize it.
How about “you’re one of the few people that took it as yet another fucked up thing going on in the world, together with RAM chip shortages and kids with cancer, and decided to go on with your life?” Or is that an entirely infeasible event in your mind?
The foundational problem seems to be the willful ignorance in refusing to learn why we have RAM shortages and learn why we haven’t cured cancer because it’s all dismissed as “tankie nonsense” and instead ignored because “too stressful” or “too complicated”.
Then the doubling down makes it worse because the smugness about how well brainwormed they are by the global north echo chamber – an echo chamber that’s officially refuted by the government that’s causing those RAM shortages and hasn’t cured cancer because it’s sending those resources to Israel to maximize oil an AI profits for the Epstein class.
Probably this bit:

October 2015 article. I guess he was still leaking knowledge at that point. A different time in some ways, but theres been little progress in others.
Posting old-ass articles like this without a disclaimer should be against the rules.
BREAKING! SECOND PLANE JUST HIT THE TOWERS!
On these communities and the source articles themselves. I bloody hate when the only way to find a date for reference is to find another article (or maybe dig through the site’s code).
A snowden article what is this a time machine. I bet snowden Knowles next to nothing of any relevance anymore. He’s been out of the game for over a decade.
not much has changed since then
