Pretty sure the French far right straight-up ripped off this conspiracy from the US alt-right. Same as the trans hysteria.

What do you use? I rooted my phone precisely for this, but google pay and my bank still see I’m not on the stock ROM : (

They have to call, mail or physically go to the bank I guess.

Unfortunately it will, if I want to add a new transfer recipient or make a payment on a 3D secure website, the app is mandatory, even on desktop.

Sadly most French banks use a custom validation process which requires you to use their app to validate a transaction. And my main bank’s app has warned me that it will “soon” stop working on custom ROMs…

Yeah but banking apps are starting to check integritynet, and (in France, at least) they’re pretty much mandatory to do anything useful with your bank account/credit card online… I think Uber does too, I boycott them but others might follow suit…

Currently running lineageos, but I think I’ll just give up and go for a Pixel for my next phone… Sucks to let google win but I like to do useful things with my phone…

I guess it depends on your country, but he’s not obsessed with immigration and Islam so as far as French people are concerned he’s conservative but not far right.

Well he’s not really far right, but he sure is far-right compatible.

Even more hilarious is the amount of people who believed Macron when he said he wasn’t right wing.

Same as Windows and MacOS, really. You can follow best practices and conventions, or just install your software wherever you want.

I mean US did it, twice, on civilians, no sanctions

There are of course a lot of reasons why these two situations can’t really compare, but an obvious and major difference is that only the US had nukes at the time, so no MAD.

I guess it could, as we have to take meta’s word for it, and a quick google search hasn’t turned up any independent security audit.

I liked it a lot, although the DLCs were far more memorable than the base game.

They don’t want to ban encryption, they want to block encrypted chat apps, precisely so they don’t have to build backdoors. AFAIK it’s not possible to break signal/WhatsApp encryption without access to the targeted device, and once you have access you can get the messages directly without having to break the encryption.

something like “massive attack set to release new album” would be fine IMO. “Massive attack in Bristol:” is downright irresponsible.

Thanks for checking us out :) We had an audit done by quarkslab a few years back, and another one coming up this year since we’re currently implementing verified relations (signed SDPs). I’ll edit my comment with a link when I get back to work next week.

If you want a simpler solution than Matrix and don’t mind using a non-opensource app you could try twinme. You only need a username and a picture to create an account (could be anything, “Jane Doe” and a white square if you want). It has a couple unique features like multiple identities and click-to-call links, which you can share with people who don’t have the app so they can call you using only a web browser (e.g. on craigslist, lost pet flyers, …).

I work on this app as a full-stack dev, and for what it’s worth we only upload/store data that is strictly required for the app to work. We’re lobbying to open source it because we have nothing to hide and we know how important it is for the privacy/security minded folks, but it will take some convincing before management agrees to it…

Yeah, “western RPGs” from a couple decades ago were mostly made in the US. Then Bethesda bought interplay and it all went to shit.

And thanks for reminding me of Child of Light, I’ve had it in my library for ages, installing it to my steam deck right now :)

It definitely is, look at the fingers.

Google Lens seems to do better, and the bottom line makes the whole thing even more dumb.
