#Orbot lies brazenly to the user


Source: guardianproject.info/apps/org.…

Orbot is a very useful app for using the #TOR #network on #Android. With all due respect to floss and the achievements of the altruistic developers, I still think it's downright cheeky to lie so blatantly to the user.

The bridge functionality, which can be optionally activated, allows users from the censored Internet, where all TOR servers are blocked, to connect anyway.

Orbot is writing:

It will not drain your battery


This is wrong. There will be more background activity for this connections and this will cost battery power. This is a damn lie!

It will not slow down your internet


This is wrong. There will be connections from others and they will slow down your internet. With a big bandwidth you won't note it but not everyone have high speed internet. This is a damm lie!

🤥

Internet cable between Helsinki and Rostock has been "cut".

No further information about the incident than that the damage is in the cabling.

Marine cable scattered between Finland and Germany, is cut

According to the news published by Yle in 2022 , it is the only cable that runs exactly the same route as the Russian gas pipelines.

Does this seem like a good fit? - The #X algorithm at its finest!

It seriously appears to be going down the drains.

The other suggestions regularly change, but some #US generals & #BillGates keep showing up.

Is X trying to promote them or are those ads?

Furthermore the home page always shows #ElonMusk posts, even if you don't follow him.

With #Gaza deliberately being cut off, and sealed off, by #Israel, just about any form of #internet access, no matter how shaky and temporary, has become vital for

With most of the infrastructure in Gaza destroyed, mobile phone accounts in the shape of #eSIMs

are one of the last remaining means to communicate. They log into neighboring Egypt and Israeli mobile networks, wherever possible (mostly in the South of Gaza).

#ConnectingHumanity is providing eSIMs to the groups mentioned above. They're reliable and legit [**]. Consider donating to them.

An eSIM is a virtual SIM that can be sent as a QR code, rather than a physical SIM that is next to impossible to get into Gaza, at the moment.

I've just shared my story on why I've left other social media for the Fediverse at the Guardian.

theguardian.com/media/2024/nov…

Perhaps more people could tell them about this place? Maybe some of it will be published allowing more people to discover the Fediverse.

I ordered something in #China from a big shopping portal and I know the portal is a completely different company and only doing the global logistics but I wonder how small a small company can really be if sending their goods globally?

Invidious : Youtube m'a tuer


Youtube veut bien que vous regardiez ses vidéos à condition que vous puissiez être identifié·e, via un compte ou par diverses techniques moins avouables. Google a donc décidé de bloquer toutes les adresses IP de Gitoyen, et par conséquent de FDN.

Certaines instances invidious sont encore opérationnelles, elles sont référencées ICI et .

#Amazon confirms #employee data stolen after #hacker claims #MOVEit #breach


source: techcrunch.com/2024/11/11/amaz…

“Amazon and AWS systems remain secure, and we have not experienced a #security event. We were notified about a security event at one of our property management vendors that impacted several of its customers including Amazon. The only Amazon information involved was employee work contact information, for example work email addresses, desk phone numbers, and building locations,” Montgomery said.


If not even a company like Amazon can store its data securely, is there any security at all? Amazon doesn't lack money or experts, but it does seem to lack secure software.

Tensions have further escalated after authorities last week imposed a social #media ban until November 11, a day after the #elections. The unprecedented move provoked outrage from #opposition groups and citizens, prompting the #government to overturn it a day later.

Americans' #Trust in #Media Remains at Trend Low


Trust in political and civic institutions highest for local and state #governments, lowest for media and #Congress


Source: news.gallup.com/poll/651977/am…

In an age of #fake news, #propaganda, #maga, #Twitter #bots and Russian #troll factories, we actually need trustworthy journalism. I must once again explicitly point out that the principle of "trust nobody" does not mean no longer believing official sources and only consuming unfiltered news from Russian-controlled #Telegram channels and basing your world view on them.

"Trust nobody but don't stop thinking - if you belive the earth is flat you are far beyond a border no one should pass!"

This does not change the fact that the Bluesky app and the AT Protocol do not use #blockchains or #cryptocurrency, and we will not hyperfinancialize the #social experience (through #tokens, crypto #trading, #NFTs, etc.).


But taking #money from this swamp is OK? What's the color of money 💵 - don't tell me that it is green cause I know it's red. Dancing with the devil won't change the devil but you.
