                                                          Zulfi Alam thinks his team doesn’t need to “prove” they engineered a new state of matter in their bid to reinvent computing. Science would disagree.

                                                                Finding out what a program is doing on Linux often means remembering several ps options and piping the result through grep.

                                                                With px, it can be as simple as:

                                                                The -t option displays threads as well, making it easy to see which one is using CPU and how long the process has been running.

                                                                px does not try to replace ps, top, or htop. It focuses on one common daily task: finding a process quickly and getting useful information without memorizing complex options or using grep.

                                                                px firefox

                                                                                                                                                                  Dla lepszego, szerszego zrozumienia przypomne historię Proton Mail. Firma kiedyś ujawniła adresy IP swoich użytkowników.

                                                                                                                                                                  W październiku 2021 roku ProtonMail ujawnił adres IP aktywistów. Po incydencie ProtonMail zaktualizował swoją politykę prywatności, aby wyjaśnić, że nie przechowuje domyślnie logów IP, ale musi przestrzegać szwajcarskiego prawa i może zostać zmuszony do gromadzenia i udostępniania adresów IP, jeśli użytkownik jest podejrzewany o złamanie szwajcarskiego prawa.

                                                                                                                                                                  To wywołało oburzenie, firma która zapewnia prywatność, przekazała informacje o użytkownikach!

                                                                                                                                                                  Kto był oburzony? Nie tylko użytkownicy GrapheneOS, Ci właściwie byli oburzeni najmnjej! — Myśląc trzeźwo rozumieją że istnieją takie możliwości techniczne, oraz prawne.
                                                                                                                                                                  Nie, nie popierali tego, natomiast rozumieją mechanizmy które mogą potencjalnie zostać wykorzystane.

                                                                                                                                                                  Do dziś dzień ludzie wypominają Protonowi, że ujawniał numery IP. A, to dawna sprawa jest! Chłopie, to jest z 2021 roku, stare! Czemu więc ludzie wypominają, czemu ma to jeszcze dziś znaczenie? I czy ma znaczenie?

                                                                                                                                                                  Proszę zauważyć że problemów z e/OS jest więcej, nie mówimy tutaj o jednej funkcji i pojedynczym przypadku.

Znaleźli swoją nisze, wybrali sektor rynku do którego kierują swoje produkty, składając przy tym wielkie obietnice.

                                                                                                                                                                  Całą otoczka marketingowa leży, to jak działa system również leży.

                                                                                                                                                                  Sam kiedyś używałem LineageOS, inne tak zwane ROMy bazujące na nim.
                                                                                                                                                                  Instalowałem i testowałem MicroG na LineageOS, okazało się że po instalacji i aktywacji, trzeba się upewnić czy to działa, weryfikować. Później miałem też OmniROM, z domyślnie wbudowanymi MicroG, możesz sprawdzić stronę. Projekt nadal istnieje, mały projekt (nie polecam).
                                                                                                                                                                  Mają wsparcie przez Telegram, kiedyś szukając informacji dotarłem na grupę MicroG na Telegramie.
                                                                                                                                                                  Zadałem kilka pytań, odpowiedzi mnie zszokowały. Jedna z nich odnośnie było MicroG Signature Spoofing, było: aktywuj to, otwórz drzwi dla malware. Serio, tak napisali...

                                                                                                                                                                  Teraz objaśnienie: MicroG Signature Spoofing - Sfałszowanie podpisu, krytyczna funkcja na poziomie systemu, która umożliwia otwartemu frameworkowi microG maskowanie się jako oficjalne Usługi Google Play. To oszustwo jest konieczne, ponieważ aplikacje innych firm sprawdzają, czy usługi, z którymi się komunikują, są podpisane oficjalnymi kluczami Google; bez tego aplikacje odrzucałyby usługi microG.

                                                                                                                                                                  Głównym zagrożeniem jest to, że fałszowanie podpisów osłabia model bezpieczeństwa pakietów Androida, umożliwiając aplikacjom omijanie weryfikacji podpisów.

                                                                                                                                                                  Wtedy zacząłem szukać dalej, to właśnie część mojej historii poszukiwań które prowadzą od lat. Kiedyś nie używałem GrapheneOS, oraz nie chciałem, ze względu na negatywną opinię, oraz fakt dostępności jedynie na Google Pixel. Natomiast szukając zacząłem słuchać, co druga stroana ma do powiedzenia. I tak oto jesteśmy tutaj.

Po ostatniej aktualizacji: opcja wysyłania głosu do OpenAI, jest domyślnie aktywna w ukrytych ustawieniach, czy domyślnie przetwarza głos wyłącznie na urządzeniu?
