it’s always either a hit or a miss. The player UI really needs to show if the instance you’re streaming from is online and working or not. Otherwise, you just keep waiting for the loading to complete, but it never does and you go the the preference to check and the instance isn’t up anymore. You change it back to another instance, go back to the player, check again and change instance again until it works. Then sometime later the same thing happens again.

Newpipe mostly always works and is good enough for me.

the bot is just posting old news again. 🤦‍♂️

These articles are very easy to write and you can see how emotional people get. You don’t need proof and it always works.

Everytime there’s an article about what “China/Russia/India/North Korea/or Whatever Says”, social media goes:

haha, so fake!

fake news

imagine believing this

propaganda bs

where’s the proof?

we only believe in hard facts

no credibility

chinese/russian bots brigading lmao

astroturfing

And then whenever there is “US Says”

so true

I know someone who knows someone who was doing this

I had a gut feeling about this

The boogeyman is real

They’re stealing our tech

They’re coming for us

We have to renounce them

They’re destroying our economy

Enemy #1

They’re ruining our western values

US is numba 1

NO FUCKING PROOF REQUIRED!! Anyone questions?

why would they release the evidence, it’s classified

I mean fuck all authoritarian regimes, but it’s funny to see how social media (especially in US) reacts to these articles and riles them up. Also great for election season.

Standard hypocrisy from propaganda rotted brains at work

I’d rather not use iOS at all. Android is infinitely more customizable, powerful, and privacy friendly (with the right OS).

On the topic of your braindead take in this. Make iOS open source first. It’s almost like opensource breeds interoperability and closed source breed cultists who think they’re better by default.

And helps US keep its military complex rolling.

With how US and Israel carry out their strikes as “affiliated”, it just comes off as “I felt like it”. Did we forget how they just bombed civs for fun in Iraq/Afghanistan with no repercussions at all.

did you read the article?

I’m convinced though that if we want Linux on phones to become an option for everyone, there’s no way around the need for well-integrated support for Android apps

I’ve documented the reverse engineering work on this Github repo, including a very rough step-by-step manual of how to run things.

I was looking for the same thing when I accidentally deleted a video from Google Photos app a month back. I didn’t find any opensource ones, so I ended up using one from the playstore. Tried a few and turned off wifi before opening them, because I was sure they were going to have a lot of ads and generally don’t want anything uploaded without me knowing.

One app worked (I don’t even remember the name), then deleted it right away.

They weren’t lying when they said “Might makes right”

In this age of Internet, they still control the narrative, even with so much evidence brought to light. If you don’t seek it out, it seems like nothing noteworthy is going on.

History is still mostly written by the victor, with truth waning in the distance. The victor being evil never mattered. “Human rights” these countries exclaim so often doesn’t extend when their kins are doing the killing.

This is essentially some good PR to lower the bad PR they’re getting. The damage is already done, whatever narrative they were pushing worked. Now they get to say “We did bad things and we’re aware of it. We have an oversight board and we have a system in place. We pinky promise we will continue to improve how we handle these things in future.”

Until next time it happens again.

Sorry about what happened to your friend.

I don’t think you see the difference, Aaron was downloading the data off of MIT servers himself, he was not facing charges for writing the scripts.

From your link:

The Justice Department’s press release announcing Aaron’s indictment suggests the true motivation for pursuing the case was that Aaron downloaded academic literature from JSTOR and planned to make it available to the public for free as a political statement about access to knowledge.

Tools that can be used maliciously are generally allowed because they have legitimate uses, using them to gain access or otherwise harm a computer system or network without authorization is criminal.

As I said before, Beeper users are gaining unauthorized access, not Beeper. It is E2EE, they’re not the middleman.

Apple reverse-engineered Office to release iWork. So Apple isn’t new to reverse-engineering others proprietary shit when it benefits them. something, something, history lesson, hmm…

I don’t know laws in the US but my limited understanding in the case of Beeper is that its users are the ones that grant themselves unauthorized access to the Apple servers. Beeper is a tool that packages pypush to accomplish it. So Apple should sue all the Beeper users?

As an example, there are tons of tools to exploit vulnerable systems in Linux. Metasploit is a penetration testing software and can execute exploits on old unpatched systems. I don’t think anyone is suing Metasploit developers for Computer Fraud and Abuse aCt. The users who use it are responsible for the access of unauthorized services and broken ToS.

If Apple thinks Beeper users are exploiting its servers, they should patch them (which they did).

Beeper did try to monetize it, so i’m not sure how it fairs but Beeper is not forcing anyone to gain unauthorized access. Beeper even welcomed Apple to audit Beeper mini code.

And I’m sure Beeper has a legal team that analyzed these scenarios better than anyone of us. And Apple has sued companies for less. They’d have done it the moment the app landed on appstore. They could have crushed it before gaining any attention.

Again, I have no idea how legal it is. I have both Apple and android devices and never use iMessage. But you gotta hand it to Beeper devs. That’s some old school hacker shit and I’m here for it.

I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

That is even worse, they knew they were compromising privacy and still boasts about being privacy centric. It’s like Saudi Arabia claiming to be a utopia while actively using modern slavery in the background.

Apple and Google are both guilty of this. Frankly, however, neither of them are particularly “guilty”,

Google doesn’t claim to be a herald of digital privacy, nor its users claim Google is a saint.

Elizabeth Warren sends terse letter

“We’re getting a bad reputation for facilitating the war against civilians, time for some positive PR. someone pass this on to the guardian”

Thanks a lot for the thorough explanation. This is going to be real handy for users on Windows Home. I’m guessing once the server is installed, one can connect to it from any RDP client, without needing the wfreerdp client, right?

I use Remmina on my Linux Mint setup.

So this is an open-source server implementation of Windows RDP which I could install in Windows home builds and access it through RDP access client elsewhere?

I checked through their site and repo, binaries are built here. https://ci.freerdp.com/job/freerdp-nightly-windows/1439/arch=win64,label=vs2017/

But i’m not sure where to start. which one should I download?

Redirector works perfectly on Android.

In fact I don’t have a better news source to offer you

Have you taken a look at lobste.rs? Not saying it’s better, but there are alternatives.
