The app is back on the store. The issue was pretty simple, the privacy policy link was dead and I didn't notice it... Anyway I should have the app update ready soon with compatibility fixes for newer Android versions, etc play.google.com/store/apps/det…

Many custom kernel users are now seeming to fail device attestation checks, and the cause appears to be that the Play Integrity API is checking for blacklisted strings in the kernel version name. For example, kernels with "sultan" or "lineageos" in the uname are reportedly

Google humbled me in the weirdest way possible ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is both awesome and absolutely ridiculous.

Finally, someone cracked it. The ChatGPT system prompt. If you were wondering why GPT became so bad in the past 6 months, its because "laziness" is part of the system prompt: 1. "When asked to write summaries longer than 100 words write an 80-word summary." 2. "DO NOT list or

Lots of analysis of the xz/liblzma vulnerability. Most skip over the first step of the attack: 0. The original maintainer burns out, and only the attacker offers to help (so the attacker inherits the trust of the project built by the maintainer). Read their words👇🏻 1/

Microsoft engineer: 500ms lag in liblzma? Something's up. Also Microsoft engineer: 45 minute lag in Microsoft Teams? Perfect.

Gonna keep reposting stuff because it's just so simultaneously fascinating and terrifying for the world we live in. This can't have been the only op they were working, they had to avoid moving too fast so as not to appear sus, so how many other crucial projects are infiltrated?

just got diagnosed with a rare form of tourette's where i do `git status` after every command

I can't believe a paid OS needs a tool like this. Here's a GUI tool called OFGB (Oh Frick Go Back) to remove all the ads in Windows 11. It's understandable if a free OS or app needs ad support, but this is just crazy.

matchboxbananasynergy Wang Han Husson Pierre-Hugues; eu/acc; LVT-pilled Mishaal Rahman John Wu Daniel Micay We have had some discussions with makers of high-quality ROMs about getting them to pass CTS, then establishing some kind of relationship we can use to trust them. This is a promising direction, but it will require a lot of work on both sides, including by lawyers.

matchboxbananasynergy Wang Han Husson Pierre-Hugues; eu/acc; LVT-pilled Mishaal Rahman John Wu Daniel Micay So we have to approach this incrementally, to build a better future. In a few years, we want only devices with RKP and recent patchlevels to pass. And I hope we'll have a program for certified third party OSes, too! All of our designs take care to leave that option open.

A growing number of apps are using the Play Integrity API to enforce installation from the Play Store. This is clearly highly illegal anti-competitive behavior. It doesn't impact GrapheneOS users installing apps with the sandboxed Play Store but does impact other install sources.
