    which does not mean, that he unlocked any keystores on that notebook.

  2. Re:Which law prohibits distributing such software? on Social Fixer Falls Victim To Facebook Legal Threats · · Score: 1

    yeah, thats the point i am making. You do not need to agree to facebook TOS to create the program or to distribute it (okay, to develop it, you may need an facebook account (which agreed to the TOS) to test it). So then the program has no legal connection to facebook, only someone who is using it may have. So i do not get, why the distribution should be illegal.

    why not just use an older version?

  5. Re:ABP is easily blocked. on Social Fixer Falls Victim To Facebook Legal Threats · · Score: 2

    a good reason not to visit them again.

    If the site is important, there will be adblocker plugins for them. disabling their adblocker checking JS. Of course there may be a blocker-blocker, but in the end there will be more enthusiasts, which block the ads, than efford in blocking the blocker.

  6. Which law prohibits distributing such software? on Social Fixer Falls Victim To Facebook Legal Threats · · Score: 1

    Using it may be illegal, especially if you're facebook user and accepted their TOS, which may forbid it. But writing software and distributing it without having a contract with facebook, should not be subject to anything facebook can do?

    And in source code form, it think, it was proven that its free speech.

    Please read something about scaling and on demand instances in the cloud. This is how stuff is done at the moment. If you do not need to process much visitors, you can shut down some AWS instances, for example.

    Of course the manager does not know Blowfish, Twofish, AES ... you just tell him: We now use a more secure algorithm, and he goes "good, this will protect our customers. Continue to have such good ideas, please!"

  13. Re:The real problem with BSD on Feature-Rich FreeBSD 10 Alpha Released · · Score: 1

    the problem is not, that you're not able to do it. The problem is, its fucked up. You need to do it the one and only way, while GNU tools are much more flexible. Of course, you can install GNU stuff. I only talk about the default installed stuff, which are really old unix tools.

  14. Re:Obama needs to pardon Snowden on FISA Court Will Release More Opinions Because of Snowden · · Score: 1

    I read this online. There are many news sites and much more commenters there, who emphasize, that not only strangers, but AMERICANS are targeted.

  15. What's new? on The Dash Is Now Anonymized In Ubuntu 13.10 · · Score: 1

    AFAIR, dash sends the requests to canonical, and canonical relays them to amazon. Maybe not from day one on, but a long time before this "news". Sending them (when no explicit online search is requested) is a bad thing anyway, but this kind of "anonymity" were already provided.

  16. Re:He is not an expert... on German Data Protection Expert Warns Against Using iPhone5S Fingerprint Function · · Score: 1

    yeah. because having multiple hashs of the same data (and multiple stolen) increases security.

  17. Re:Also it stands to reason on German Data Protection Expert Warns Against Using iPhone5S Fingerprint Function · · Score: 2

    yeah. So what? Other security features may copy this method. And then your "tissue under the skin" will be stored on a phone, maybe stolen by apps, and used on other security systems, maybe to identify as you on a ATM.

  18. Re:Obama needs to pardon Snowden on FISA Court Will Release More Opinions Because of Snowden · · Score: 5, Insightful

    why the fuck, does every american citizen say, that surveilance is okay, when its sure, that no american citizens are targeted? Are you really that hostile to foreigners? Here in germany, everyone against surveilance, is against surveilance everywhere. We hate your oppressive laws as much as ours.

    Chrome is a Problem, because its closed source.
    Chromium is okay. And you did not understand the concept of a keystore. When chromium requests access to kwallet, you can give it access to an own "chromium" wallet, which only contains data from chromium. You can have as much wallets, as you want.

  23. Their privacy features ... on Epic: A Privacy-Focused Web Browser · · Score: 1

    ... at least their top 11 are just annying chrome functions disabled. So use firefox (disable some annoying functions as well) and be happy.

  24. Re: Interesting on Epic: A Privacy-Focused Web Browser · · Score: 2

    rotating on each request is a bad idea. Your ip remains valid for 12-24 hours, so the website can assume that two requests from the same ip are the same user. When the fingerprint is rotating, they have a good criteria: You're the only one with the paranoia plugin.

    Better rotate it on browser start. New session, new identity.

  25. Google Play is dangerous on Google Play Services Supplants Android As Google's "Platform" · · Score: 1

    Play updates itself, in the background and without asking the user. Even when you configured, that you need to confirm updates, the play store updates itself silently in the background.
    You may lose features of old versions, get annoying new features, but the worst is, Google is part of prism, and can execute any new code on your phone, anytime they want.

    F-Droid is cool, but missing the commercial apps.

    Amazon appstore could be an option, because it needs to use the android "install APK" Function with a confimation dialog, while google play can not only update itself, but even other apps without showing this dialog.

    Maybe ROMs like cyanogen should alter Android, such that the play store has the same restrictions as other apps.
