exactly at the time governments are looking toward full control

Isn’t it all the time?

Probably Windows.

Pretty sure everyone understand it’s not about the age.

I hear here a lot that the AI bubble will burst. And I wish this was true. But is there any indication for it? Crypto and GPU bubbles didn’t burst. I worry that it’s just another Lemmy circlejerk.

You don’t see a problem with automating a thing against automation? It can be done but in principle the less forced human interaction you get the more privacy invasion it requires.

Have you ever been ddos’d?

Regularly.

In your ideal world it means that you are tracked between websites. It’s mostly how it works now.

How are you planning to do it? It’s typically used as a defence against bots which are becoming more of problem not less. What you describe is Cloudflare’s managed challenge, most of the time it doesn’t even need you to click anything because you already clicked somewhere else.

How will it help against ddos?

More infuriating than captcha?

Can you expand on it? How do websites block vpn? Do they just block all the other countries? Why would you want to visit such websites?

Can you give an example? It seems their power and influence were not enough against Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Iran, Russia. They even lose their grasp on Africa. China and India don’t look like they care a tiny bit of that mythical power. So we have plenty of examples where their power does not stretch far enough, can you give an example that shows how powerful and influential the West is?

By most of the world you probably mean what is called the West that’s actually only 14% of the world.

Do you need to? I think it’s safe to assume all of your billionaires, politicians, role models, famous people, like all of your pantheon, either sent such email, or wanted to send it but wasn’t invited, or knew of it but kept quiet, which is not a tiny bit better.

That’s actually some very interesting discussion down there.

Again, that’s not some theoretical topic. They can block most VPNs, they do so in China, Russia, Iran. And there are no riots on the streets, their corporate overlords don’t do anything against it. One of the reasons is that they do allow ipsec for corporate clients. Are you a corporate client? Do you use ipsec for vpn? Are there riots on the streets for this censorship instance?

It’s not some theoretical topic, it’s the reality for China, Russia, Iran. They do block commonly used VPN protocols, so people now use VPN with obfuscations. Some work, some doesn’t, some stop working as time goes. So when people say “Ha-ha, I’ll just use VPN”, it will help you for some time but the trend is they will make it a problem for you, better start preparing before it happened.

What vpn obfuscations do you use? Because you know they’ll block vpn next.

Remember subreddits going dark and people leaving reddit. Hahaha how did that work out ?

We are on lemmy now, so I don’t get your point here.

None of this has anything to do with Signal itself, which is as secure as it gets.

Didn’t I say that at the start of my questions? What’s your point?

server would catch and reject it if it’s fingerprints don’t match the previously known good copy, or a public version

If I understand you correctly, you mean that Signal app checks itself and sends the result to the server that can then deny access to it? Is that what Signal does and what makes it difficult to spoof this fingerprint?

I don’t think you answered any of my questions though since they weren’t about Signal.

Now you’re just coming up with weird things to justify the paranoia

I’m just asking questions about security I don’t know answers to, I’m not stating that’s how things are.
