Does that contradict what I said? Sure, HTTP 1 is still widely used, but without TLS you can’t use anything else.

For SMS we don’t have a choice, but if you configure your own web server you do have a choice.

It’s my understanding that https provides encryption for the data sent between you and the server. If you’re not sending any sensitive data, then the encryption shouldn’t be necessary.

As others have pointed out, everything can be sensitive. If I’m self hosting nextcloud instance with chat that under British law should check for age… self hosting is now sensitive.

In addition to that, without a secure connection you’re stuck with HTTP/1.1 from 1999 instead of the modern 2 or 3 versions.

I also believe it’s possible to set up HTTPS encryption without a domain name, but it might result in that “we can’t verify the authenticity of this website” warning in web browsers due to using a self-signed certificate.

It’s used for cooling, so in the atmosphere.

Alsup allegedly failed to conduct a “rigorous analysis” of the potential class and instead based his judgment on his “50 years” of experience, Anthropic said.

The judge didn’t apply critical thinking but instead just did whatever was the most likely decision based on all the information it was fed in its training? That must be very inconvenient and it would be a shame if we had companies advertising exactly that as a world changing technology.

Why would anyone eat scientists?

It was already a pretty attractive target because of servers for everything. I’m not sure reaching 5% desktop market share will really make it more attractive for malware.

Af an attack can escape a container a lot of companies worldwide are going to need to patch a 0-day. I do not expect that to be part of my threat model for self-hosted services.

I’m not the developer, but I do also write app backends for a living so I know there is some nuance that you’re skipping over in your response. But if you have a way to do this completely anonymous on android I’d suggest offering help to the developer who made this.

Something that… links it to the device? Like, a unique ID that Apple can identify?

APNS tokens are linked to the app install and renew on a certain timeline. Already making them not exactly the same as a device identifier.

Edited for further clarification. It’s not about Google, it’s about what Android needs to receive notifications: https://www.iceblock.app/android

Apple notification identifiers are unique to an app install and regularly change though, so it’s hardly a device identifier.

And the developer needs a device ID for that. Which is their objection: https://www.iceblock.app/android

Thanks, but I’m not the developer of the app so that’s not really relevant for me.

This is IOS only owing to Android play store collecting a device identifier; the creator wanted complete anonymity

Quote from some other place people were discussing it. Unfortunately no source on it.

Don’t threaten me with a good time

We clearly read very different stories, in mine the computers are usually more competent than a 30% success rate.

Imagine if the internet at its inception failed to connect you 70% of the time. It’s not as impressive as most other inventions.

It can complete coding tasks. But that’s not the same as replacing a developer. In the same way that cutting wood doesn’t make me a carpenter and soldering a wire doesn’t make me an electrician. I wish the AI crowd understood that.

I’m pretty sure the users risked a lot too for this one

Feel free to send them directly to Russia instead

Given the EU has a mutual defence agreement that I understood to be stronger than NATOs. An attack on the Baltic states would be an attack on NATO. Even if they were not in it.
