Suddenly I'm a developer




I can write down about a third quarter of this accurately and am realizing I need to lean in a good deal harder into my non-operational responsibilities if I want to grow my career in a positive direction

there’s no one to really root ( :nsa: ) for, but outside of apple just straight up blacklisting facebook from the app store, the best thing i could think of is apple popping up an android-esque permissions dialogue box for every facebook and facebook subsidiary app that’s just a list of times they’ve gotten caught with their hand in the cookie jar over the last 5 years

The public isn't going to give a poo poo.

lol at getting this design irb approval at any real research organization

The approach many researchers take here is
(1) write an extremely abstract proposal & application
(2) actively mislead the IRB in follow-up clarification and committee

if a permission is "usually malicious", apps should probably be banned from even asking for it

What is malicious? Most people respond "meh" at the slightest hint of inconvenience. "Malicious" seems to be publicly defined as anything more than a few clicks between a live smartphone camera video and automatic puppy dog overlays in streamed video.

"Hey I need to read your location briefly to do the thing you wanted me to do just now" and "Lol I'm going to track you forever" are the same permission prompt in mobile platforms.

Not knowing what action apple took here specifically, it would make sense that entities that existed before FB acquisition have their own apple certs.

Hello I'm the father and what my son says is true, he did not cheat, it was his brother on my account. Please unban him valve

sincerely the father


Pls unban

Like people at Apple had to look at each other and say "Yes we will hand over iCloud encryption keys to a PRC owned organization" for this to happen.

At least Facebook and Google said "no thank you" to operating in PRC over the exact same concern Apple seems to not give a poo poo about.

Friend, Facebook marketing reps have been literally holding seminars on using data exfiltration loopholes as added value of their ad products. They can burn in hell and are at least as bad.

i was shodan surfing and came across someone with an unsecured NAS that has enormous amounts of personal information on it. i kind of feel like i should contact them and let them know, but i also don't want to creep them out by being some random guy contacting them about computer security. thoughts?

You have no surefire safe way to report this to the owner.

Two months weeks days from now, there will be more discovered script-kiddie-level exploits against it anyways.
