Sounds like a regular PhD student project.

Nah. It turned out that one of the callers dialed in using a regular phone number and there classic wiretapping was used.

Still wouldn't surprise me if it would've actually been the software.

Echt so schlimm geworden? Meine gentoo-stage-2-LFS-ich-hab-zu-viel-Freizeit Tage sind 20 Jahre her, damals war der 2.4 Kernel noch überschaubar :).

Also worth mentioning that there's gonna be a movie based on another one of his graphic novels in 2024:

Thanks. Much appreciated.

Sync for Lemmy

What I can tell you is that Google was extremely detailed in their monitoring of my apps - even looking up e.g. rate limits of the steam api to check if I properly deal with those. And I pick that example since I don't want to talk about the ways I mishandled user data out of negligence or ignorance.

Back then I perceived it as harassment. Today I will certainly not install any apps that didn't pass their testing.

And we're not even talking about deliberate malware but simple incompetence. I would consider the average hobby app project to be borderline malware and a proper QA needs qualified personnel. I don't see how F-Droid can ever reach those standards.

You should take a look at the Gentoo logo. That's an international hate crime of a logo.

Nah. It's tons of people crying about the Sync app - they just pretend there's other content.

Do you know why they stopped producing Worst Year Ever? Never seen a notice...

How is running Sailfish, Copperhead or Ubuntu "being a data mule"?
