@pmroman Are you saying that Muslims citizens of the #EU should be held to a different standard?

One thing that most impressed me about the culture of Brooklyn was how after the September 11th attacks, mainstream culture rallied to protect its Arab and Muslim communities because we knew they would be unfairly targeted https://web.archive.org/web/20210712204925/https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-2001-09-14-0109140289-story.html

Sadly, what I see now in Europe is the mainstream adopting the bigoted views of people like Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir, Likud, Shas, etc. and coding it nice sounding language. The #EU should protect and respect all of its citizens and residents equally.

@colincogle @guardianproject you could use the same hostname for both the "public_name" and the SNI in the inner ClientHello. That works, but then "public_name" is clear text, so this setup would not protect the hostname. The "public_name' is generally the CDN, then the encrypted SNI would have the actual hostname. For example, public_name as cloudflare-ech.com and inner SNI as rte.ie.

I wonder if #GooglePlay uses the deobfuscation data in the "mapping.txt" file in the app review process? It would bring the binary code a bit closer to being more readable like source code. Their documentation only mentions crash reports as a use case:

This is a really good sign for the #EU #DigitalMarketsAct: #Google is leveraging it to get #Apple to adopt #RCS in #iMessage:

@cryptgoat @guardianproject Thanks for the notification! They renamed the release files: https://gitlab.com/guardianproject/fdroid-metadata/-/issues/6

Looking into it now.

@vitriolix I think they are trying to shutdown all methods of getting around adblockers, including things like Vanced. They are also harrassing free software devs like the #Invidious and #NewPipe people.

Looks like #Google's keeping the #DRM "Web Integrity API" alive in the #Android WebView, despite widespread disapproval for the "Web Integrity API" as a web standard. https://arstechnica.com/google/2023/11/google-kills-web-integrity-drm-for-the-web-still-wants-an-android-version/

@guardianproject #Apple is a huge company, amazing how they could let something like that slip. I wonder how #Android's implementation of this is faring?

#Microsoft #Apple #Google etc have massive piles of "cash on hand". They are supposed to be innovative companies which hire as much talent as they can, so something is clearly wrong with this picture. Lots of skilled people also have morals, and want to build things they believe are beneficial and #ethical. So many developers would rather work on things they believe in and are willing to get paid a fraction of what they could earn: so they reject working for #BigTech

It makes me happy to read that #Amazon's #drone delivery program is barely functional. It would be such a nightmarish thing if it ever caught on. All that buzzing noise, drones falling out of the sky when they hit things like birds, ever more resources used for unnecessary delivery. Its like flying cars and space tourism; oligarchs like #Bezos keep investing in these ideas while ignoring the hard technical realities as well as the well being of most people on this planet
