The only thing more powerful than a small crypto-munitions, logic-bomb
by professor rat 03 Jan '22

03 Jan '22

As the holders of such immense power - power that dwarfs all previous H-bombs combined - its incumbent on anarchists to manage such power responsibly moving forward. The power to self-police via APster is inextricably entangled with this. Call it ' state-like', Call it oppressive- but it is what is is. Anarcho-hegemony is not for everyone. Many self-described anarchists even complain about the anarchic net - to this day! Some of the eco-fascist fringe attack internet infrastructure without reason or excuse. This aggression will not stand, man. In line with our awesome responsibilities - ' heavy lies the head that wears the crown " - I propose a baby DAO be assembled with a mandate to seek out and harness all forms of righteous-war-fighting power - such as hypothetical ' primordial black holes ' - for the collective benefit of all space-faring, trans-humans. If my own ' Split-Key-Cosmology ' is correct PBH's may turn out to be concentrated crypto-munitions anyway. All these concepts will become clarified as we approach CYPHERPUNK 2027 and the early onset of singularity. They are an integral part of the cryptoanarchist narrative that is rapidly evolving globally. Five years to go at full warp - ENGAGE!

Android Privacy Report
by zeynepaydogan 02 Jan '22

02 Jan '22

The privacy of mobile apps has been extensively studied, but much less attention has been paid to the privacy of the mobile OS itself. A mobile OS may communicate with servers to check for updates, send telemetry and so on. We undertake an in-depth analysis of the data sent by six variants of the Android OS, namely those developed by Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, Realme, LineageOS and /e/OS. We find that even when minimally configured and the handset is idle these vendor customized Android variants transmit substantial amounts of information to the OS developer and also to third-parties (Google, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Facebook etc) that have preinstalled system apps.

Finland may join NATO
by professor rat 02 Jan '22

02 Jan '22

Both president Sauli Niinisto and prime minister Sanna Marin used their new year addresses to underscore that Finland retained the option of seeking Nato membership at any time. “Let it be stated once again: Finland’s room to manoeuvre and freedom of choice also include the possibility of military alignment and of applying for Nato membership, should we ourselves so decide,” Niinisto said.
