It’s a tough job keeping us safe from cookie memes but thankfully the gov have got their best guys working on it.

Perfection

Sadly I cannot view Imgur links because it might be non-state-approved imagery. God bless his majesty and our lords and parliamentary members for saving my doe-like eyes from seeing … er, what is it exactly?

Quick get the stars get the get the star no over ahhh you missed it it’s ok

Christian therapist who will probably confirm their world view.

There’s probably a word for this, but it ain’t therapy…

Show me that butthole

Wait, what the hell is that dude

Dude, call a doctor

Lemmy android app. Not sure if it’s on iOS tbh

Yes why would he knell when he can stand up strait

I’m using Boost, so I’ve been using tagging a lot. It’s useful to remind yourself whether someone routinely behaves in a way that you don’t want to interact with.

I’ve probably untagged more people than I’ve blocked at this point. People are complicated, moods change with the weather.

Also helped me to correlate that the majority of my tags were on ml users. I’ve filtered that instance and, can’t lie, using Lemmy is much nicer now.

Well? We’re waiting!

Here’s what my glaring personality disorder taught me about B2B sales.

I asked my wife to turn the hoover off once but it turns out she was just chatting to her mate from NI and they’d gotten a little excited.

Yes you’re right. If they knew, it would likely come with the knowledge that, if someone asks you to do this, you’re probably being scammed.

That’s what makes them most vulnerable to these kinds of scams.

Most people don’t know what a bootloader is. They still turn their devices on and off every day.

This whole conversation is about adding obstacles to prevent non technical users from doing things they don’t fully understand.

No, the certificate can be invalidated preventing future installations for other users. If you already have it you’re SOOL

Because it can be invalidated. That’s the difference.

It’s absolutely not foolproof, but nothing is. Most actions corps take for this stuff only slows down the spread. Hackers and bad actors innovate way faster than companies can keep up with. So companies cast a wide net with their solutions. And the cycle continues.

The vast majority of malware isn’t delivered via play store because of the existing measures and protections they have. Same reason you see very little app-store-based malware on iOS. DISCLAIMER: YES MALWARE EXISTS ON APPLE HARDWARE PLEASE DON’T SHOUT AT ME. Talking specifically about anything installed via first party stores on both platforms.

Their main issue is this: dumb people install apks from spurious website and infect their phones. The least controllable and most pervasive factor here is the intelligence and knowledge of the user which cannot be controlled for by Google. So by eliminating the ability to exploit this entirely, it will eliminate that specific vector.

It’s a sledgehammer solution that naturally comes with many downsides like disrupting intelligent and knowledgeable users that just want to hack around with FOSS and such.

Google is relying on It being too expensive for malware creators to have to guide each individual user through adb installation and usage process just to get access to their phone. Most scammers only do that level of interaction to extract actual cash/gift cards from the target.

I am personally and directly affected by their decision in many negative ways, but I’m not so dense as to not understand why they’re doing it.
