in the minute immediately following the clip in the tweet in this article, she jokes (while on stage with Erika Kirk) that JD Vance was the assassin

But you can turn off sealed sender messages from anyone, so they’d have to already be a trusted contact

The setting to mitigate this attack (so that only people who know your username can do it, instead of anybody who knows your number) is called Who Can Find Me By Number. According to the docs, setting it to nobody requires also setting Who Can See My Number to nobody. Those two settings are both entirely unrelated to Signal's "sealed sender" thing, which incidentally is itself cryptography theater, btw.

You can literally turn off read receipts in signal

But you can't turn off delivery receipts, which is what this attack uses.

those best practices don't mitigate the attack in this paper

 

This is a year-old paper but now there is an easy-to-use implementation of the attack: https://github.com/gommzystudio/device-activity-tracker

Signal developers' verdict is WONTFIX: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/pull/14463

i posted this here after being reminded of it by this (3 minute video)

The linked clip omits the awkwardness that follows; you can see more of it here.

And while you're on the Erika Kirk channel, see also her freudian grift slip

You think the Trump admin tells Larry Ellison what to do?

Many recent posts of his such as Keir Starmer appoints Jeff Bezos as his “first buddy”: Regulatory capture, right there out in the open make it clear that he isn't a fan of Bezos today, but he was once... as this post Cory Doctorow is wrong about the internet just reminded me, here is the opening of Chapter 2 of his 2008 novel Little Brother:

screenshot of text: Cory Doctorow, Little Brother, Chapter 2,This chapter is dedicated to Amazon.com, the largest Internet bookseller in theworld. Amazon is amazing—a “store” where you can get practically any book everpublished (along with practically everything else, from laptops to cheese-graters),where they’ve elevated recommendations to a high art, where they allow customers todirectly communicate with each other, where they are constantly inventing new andbetter ways of connecting books with readers. Amazon has always treated me likegold—the founder, Jeff Bezos, even posted a reader-review for my first novel!—and Ishop there like crazy (looking at my spreadsheets, it appears that I buy somethingfrom Amazon approximately every six days). Amazon) in the process of reinventingwhat it means to be a bookstore in the twenty-first century and I cantt think of a better group of people to be facing down that thorny set of problems.

Was there some point where he explicitly acknowledged his change of opinion about Bezos and Amazon?

Or was the shift in his public comments on the subject more gradual?

(if i tag @pluralistic@mamot.fr maybe he sees this and can answer himself? Cory, if you do see this, forgive me for linking to one of your haters... personally I am looking forward to reading Enshittification 😄)
