Luduke tells the truth about the Linux Community

Discord is rolling out end-to-end encryption,

Do you trust it?

Before you rush to say no,

It's designed and audited by the same auditors that SimpleX uses (Trail of Bits)

So do you trust Trail of Bits to say SimpleX is secure, but not design Discord's encryption?

You know I actually wrote Trail of Bits to ask on pricing to audit my own app (which isn't a messenger btw). They use Gmail, so I used PGP.

The guy at Trail of Bits apologized that he didn't have his PGP key anymore, since he never gets encrypted emails. Aren't you guys supposed to be receiving code to audit or emergency 0-day flaws? That's going naked over Gmail? So he directed me to a web browser app that had third party Google JavaScript and claimed it was end-to-end encrypted. This might be true, but he has no idea what that JavaScript was doing.

So without even looking at the details of Discord's new thing, I can tell you they don't give a rat's ass about privacy. All this is doing is trying to remove legal liability in a post Telegram-legal world. But we can remove legal liability for them, by not using Discord.

Chrome’s new Digital ID is a power grab and a sign of what’s to come!

❗️Chrome devs rolled out a new digital ID feature, that they are touting on their blog. This corrupt power grab is an attempt to legitimatize Google being the overseer of all identification through their browser and mobile platform. They are rolling it out for mobile first via Chrome.

🚨 Their propaganda even admits to collecting information completely UNRELATED to a web browser, such as driving a car.
