typically, Apple bent over the gov't requests, as I feared. possibly the next step will be to force Apple into working with the gov't like how China forces.

few lessons from here:

1. Apple are not your friends when it comes to privacy, and they never will be

2. encrypt and backup with your own keys and independently of the big tech platforms

3. campaign against such surveillance requests by govts

Headline: Trump Guts Crucial OPM Team as Elon Musk Gains Even More Power

The Office of Personnel Management has just limited access to certain government records on Elon Musk and his DOGE minions.

Text: The Trump administration has fired members of the “privacy team” at the Office of Personnel Management, a move that will hinder public access and scrutiny over government records related to the security clearances of Elon Musk and his team at the Department of Government Efficiency.

CNN discovered the terminations when it made a freedom of information act (FOIA) request to OPM looking for those records, particularly regarding DOGE workers who were granted access to classified or sensitive information. An OPM email address responded to CNN’s request and said, “Good luck with that, they just fired the whole privacy team.”


Android's new Feature blocks Fraudsters from Sideloading Apps during Calls.

A new security feature for Android blocks device owners from changing sensitive settings when a phone call is in progress. The in-call anti-scammer protections include preventing users from turning on settings to install apps from unknown sources and granting accessibility access.

I tried to find when #Signal has published the most recent #security audit, and it turns out they either never published an audit or their code was never audited at all.

The closest thing I found is the list
https://community.signalusers.org/t/overview-of-third-party-security-audits/13243
which only cites research papers and some evidence that in 2018 Signal paid Doyensec, but nothing got published as the result. Even then, it looks like the apps were not audited for more than 5 years since then.

Microsoft and the United States Government have a working partnership. You should consider try using Linux.

For a newbie, I would suggest Ultramarine Linux (KDE Plasma) or MX Linux (KDE Plasma). But ultimately, your goal should be to try using Linux.

If you need to keep a copy of Windows for gaming, that's fine. But still try using Linux too.

"What he's doing is illegal, if you care about #law... It's a #NationalSecurity crisis, if you care about national #security. It's unconstitutional, if you care about the #Constitution.

Text from article (edited for length):
...the richest man in the world fired off a couple Nazi salutes for the delight of the voting base and then he and his gang of pimple-faced digital stoßtruppen started firing everyone else...

It's smash-and-grab looting of our entire shared life together as human society, enacted by a guy who needs none of it, a man who has fattened himself in time of slaughter, who eats long after he is full to bursting, who grinds other humans between his strange teeth just for the love of chewing. And one thing I know about Republicans is that they either love it or they don't give a shit, and you'll know it too, if you ask them.

What he's doing is illegal, if you care about law. It's massively expensive, if you care about expense. It's a national security crisis, if you care about national security. It's unconstitutional, if you care about the Constitution. It's likely to be devastating to the economy, if you care about the economy. It's burning the future for us and for our children, if you care about children. It's the most corrupt activity in the history of our country, if you care about corruption. Republican Americans claim to care about these things. They observably do not.

No Republican with any power to do anything about this is doing anything to stop any of it, and almost all Republicans at whatever level of power are either monumentally complacent or actually happy about what's happening.
