Do you have more than one ISP?

Wait until you find out about internet service providers

The Constitution was written in part by white men who owned slaves/supported slavery. It does not reflect what America is today.

The two-party system has held American with a tight grip since the early 1800s. It has done nothing but cause arguments about how much power the federal government should have or not. That argument will continue (and probably get worse) until the USA can embrace having the full support of all of its people. Elected officials are not the answer to this. At the moment, they are people who have time/money to participate in political activities. They generally aren’t aware of what this country is really going through. They only focus on a certain set of issues that they have the passion for. Rarely are they able to properly address other issues, so they end up taking their own party’s stance.

America was never designed to have parties. In fact, it was said that we should avoid having them at all.

Its truly an absolute shit system and it keeps itself propped up this way. What will it even take to see blue and red completely removed? Theyre both terrible options for the future of our world, but when November comes around, they’re still on the ballot.

Until a revamped Constitution is written by people of all genders, colors, faith, wealth, and education, this will never end.

We can do better than this and it needs to happen now. Its already too late, but we can help slow the damage to our planet if we act quickly.

Tired of these popularity contests when we’re literally living in a mass extinction.

Did it get leaked or something?

Yeah the way I remember it, they put a lot of effort into masking that social graph. That was a while back too, not recent.

Whats the vulnerability with Signal and phone numbers?

Yes, verified boot will have out-of-bands alerts for you by design. Without the online component, you will risk not being able to detect tampering.

If the hardware is tampered, it will not pass the attestation test, which is an online component. It will fail immediately and you will be alerted. Thats the part of verified boot that makes this so much harder for adversaries. They would have to compromise both systems. The attestation system is going to be heavily guarded.

Compromised hardware doesn’t know the signatures. Math.

If the hardware signatures don’t match, it wont boot without giving a warning. If the TPM/Secure Enclave is replaced/removed/modified, it will not boot without giving a warning.

Thats correct. Thats one of the many perks.

Its more about protecting your boot process from malware.

Why exactly am I re-reading your post? Im in complete agreement with you? Should I not be?

Updates to secure the operating systems are worth it. Apple has a fantastic track record of supporting the older phones. It shows they’ve really planned ahead and thought about the entire lifecycle of their device. They will also accept your old phone after its life is complete and responsibly recycle it.

Pay wall

It’s in the draft phase from what I can see.

Having Signal fill in gaps for what the OS should be protecting is just going to stretch Signal more than it already does. I would agree that if Signal can properly support that kind of protection on EVERY OS that its built for, go for it. But this should be an OS level protection that can be offered to Signal as an app, not the other way around.

If your device is turned on and you are logged in, your data is no longer at rest.

Signal data will be encrypted if your disk is also encrypted.

If your device’s storage is not encrypted, and you don’t have any type of verified boot process, then thats on you, not Signal.
