…Apple does not.

Talk is cheap. Show me the code.

I really like to get some feedback. Have fun everyone!

Remove the “MILITARY-GRADE” stuff. It doesn’t relay any useful information and has been used as a phrase in countless crappy products.

…saying what newsom or allred said.

I don’t know about allred, but if this is the Gavin Newsom statement you’re referring to:

I think it’s an issue of fairness, I completely agree with you on that. It is an issue of fairness — it’s deeply unfair…

Then I don’t understand how it goes from that to:

…cheering on as trans people are murdered in camps…

Different variation of the Sorites Paradox.

I am very intelligent.

5. Remote didn’t work as well for the company.
6. Remote didn’t work as well for any number of people at that company.

3. Tradition.
4. Belief that work-from-home is less efficient.

…that proved that the algorithms/protocols work.

You can use a perfect algorithm and still be insecure because the implementation was bad. You are trusting the SimpleX Chat devs to a degree.

I wouldn’t trust encryption made by anti-vaxer more than…

Important to note: SimpleX Chat has gone through two security audits.

The SimpleX Chat is AGPL. If the founder is problematic, one can fork it and avoid reinventing what has already been made.

It is forkable if necessary. I do think SimpleX is a great piece of software that shouldn’t be reinvented because of the founder.

There was this recent attack to XZ utils, which shows that more attention is needed on the code being merged and compiled.

XZ was made possible largely because there was unaudited binary data. One part as test data in the repo, and the other part within the pre-built releases. Bootstrapping everything from source would have required that these binaries had an auditable source, thus allowing public eyes to review the code and likely stopping the attack. Granted, reproducibility almost certainly would have too, unless the malware wasn’t directly present in the code.

Pulled from here:

Every unauditable binary also leaves us vulnerable to compiler backdoors as described by Ken Thompson in the 1984 paper Reflections on Trusting Trust and beautifully explained by Carl Dong in his Bitcoin Build System Security talk.

It is therefore equally important that we continue towards our final goal: A Full Source bootstrap; removing all unauditable binary seeds.

Sure you might have the code that was input into GCC to create the binary, and sure the code can be absolutely safe, and you can even compile it yourself to see that you arrive at the same bit-for-bit binary as the official release binary. But was GCC safe? Did some other compilation dependency infect the compiled binary? Bootstrapping from an auditable seed can answer this question.

…has a message for protesters in Brevard County…

You mean the “kill” message is for protesters who:

…throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun at one of our deputies…

Gay Breakfast is a legendary name.

There is a fairly all-or-nothing-security group of people within the GrapheneOS community. They will defend using a Google device on the claim of enhanced security.

Security is nice, but I’ll take a hit to security if it means I get to support the growth of an ecosystem that respects the user.

Malware would explicitly have to be executing a terminal for a window to popup. They can just call a shell directly.

The solution is to have stronger privacy laws.

Many people have the power to make certain privacy attacks impossible right now. I consider making that change better for those people than adding a law which can’t stop the behavior, but just adds a negative incentive.

I wouldn’t wait around for the law to prosecute MITM attacks, I would use end to end encryption.

Choosing an esoteric system for yourself is a good way for a free people to protect their privacy, but it won’t scale.

If this is referencing using a barely-used system as a privacy or security protection, then I would regard that as bad protection.

Everyone using GrapheneOS would be a net security upgrade. All the protections in place wouldn’t just fade away now that Facebook wants to spy on that OS. They’re still in place; Facebook’s job is still harder than it otherwise would be.
