Ciao, giusto un aggiornamento veloce, visto che volevi menzionare il mio articolo altrove e non vorrei finire per pesare negativamente sulla tesi che vuoi sostenere: dai un occhiata all'errata corrige.

I wonder how many people who CANNOT code are working as #MachineLearning experts out there.
#AI demystified: a decompiler
To prove that any "artificial neural network" is just a statistically programmed (virtual) machine whose model software is a derivative work of the source dataset used during its "training", we provide a small suite of tools to assemble and program such machines and a decompiler that reconstruct the source dataset from the cryptic matrices that constitute the software executed by them.
Finally we test the suite on the classic #MNIST dataset and compare the decompiled dataset with the original one.

Today I explained special relativity to my eldest daughter.
At her age (12 years old) I was struggling to understand it by myself, because nobody was able to explain it to me.
It took 2-3 year to really understand it despite reading anything I could about it: I remember the day when I was trying to explain what I did understand about it to a schoolmate and pieces finally went all in place.
Now she grasped the implications of c as a constant despite the reference system in roughly an hour.
Her smile was... amazing.
I feel so proud...
(I had to tell this to someone)

@Shamar Good thing than you plan to move your articjes to your personal site. centralised shit like medium is a part of the problem .
Lately, medium annoyed me a lot¹, so… 😅
1. Been looking at @PINE64 PineTime Wiki for a few days, it has a lot of medium links… many dead links cause many have been written by the same author, and medium suspended their account because of some "under investigation" BS. I hate medium. Which I usually call "merdium", from the term "merde" meaning shit in french.

“The hacker ethos once championed as a method of subverting prevailing power has become at last its greatest lieutenant … I am not hoping for programmers to organize as a class, not anytime soon – you dudebro losers haven't got the guts – but good software simply won't be possible until we accomplish at least that much. There will never be the time or money to satisfy the guarantees our ethics require until we demand them with all the power we possess.”

In 2014, I gave a talk called Free is a Lie at a run-of-the-mill, dime-a-dozen, Silicon-Valley-worshiping Big Tech/surveillance capitalism conference in the Netherlands.
Yesterday, I learned that they unlisted my talk on *spit* YouTube and that it might be removed.

I wonder how I can be surprised to learn that #Mozilla's #Thunderbird collect telemetry infos (including your mail domain) and share them with partners such as #Amazon.
It's obvious they spy on your mails! 🤦♂️
Indeed, in case of crash, they even send to "their" #AWS servers a memory dump that contains sensitive data crash reports.
This likely include, your emails in clear, your private encryption keys¹ and everything else the program has loaded and kept in memory.
What does this means for an hypothetical attacker that can access such reports?
I mean... like a #USA agency arguing that you might be a terrorist or something.
Oh but sure... they shall do no evil...

1) Since version 68, Thunderbird does not use the #GPG suite via #Enigmail, but directly do encryption "to avoid licensing issues" 🤷♂️

🦠🌍 Volete la prova definitiva che i #vaccini ci stanno salvando?
Eccola.
A sinistra, 8 paesi che hanno vaccinato molto.
A destra, 26 paesi che hanno vaccinato pochissimo.
Trovate le differenze.
E #vaccinatevi.

It's not that simple.
In the article you liked #OCCRP explains
```
This is normally done through the target’s mobile operator, which some governments can access or control.
```
How many CA are state-run agency? How many CDNs (behind HTTPS) can be subject to similar impositions?
If a state can impose to a mobile operator to track a citizen, why do you think it cannot impose to serve certain DNS records, certain TLS certificate and so on to certain people only?
Also, HTTPS leaks a lot of information about every visitor to the site owner (IP, cookies) and you are assuming the hosting/cloud provider is not malicious, while often it is.
And these leaks apply to everybody, not just to targetted victims.
You just need to control/compromise a single hosting/cloud provider and attract the victim on one of its HTTPS websites to install the same malware without the website owner knowing anything AND without the victim suspecting anything (it's HTTPS, so it's safe, isn't it?)
On the other hand, HTTP proxies can cache requests and hide you from the server.
It's dumb to blame http website owner for the victims killed by criminals and governments: it's the whole Web that is broken and insecure at heart, HTTPS or not.
We need people to understand how it works in depth so that they can foresee the risks.
A false sense of security is MORE dangerous than a known state of insecurity.

It was hard for me to tell how serious the Audacity stuff was
but the original version of this comment (see edit history) is a threat of deportation and insinuation that if they don't comply with a takedown you hope they'll be imprisoned, killed, or tortured by their country of origin https://github.com/Xmader/musescore-downloader/issues/5#issuecomment-882450335
and so yeah okay thanks for making that clear
(also thx for the link @Claire)
