So…who hates those Google log-in pop-ups that are seemingly everywhere now? Wanna make them go away?

1. Get uBlock Origin (which you should have already been using):

github.com/gorhill/uBlock

2. Open the plugin and click the settings button.

3. Click on the “my filters” tab and paste this into the input:

||accounts.google.com/gsi/*$xhr,script,3p

That’s it! Worked flawlessly for me.

(Updated URL. Thx @IceWolf
and @emz!)

We need to re-think the tight association between maintainers and security work if we want sustainable open source security.

Getting started with XMPP/Jabber and PGP for federated, encrypted messaging

This is a short thread where I explain how I started using the XMPP protocol and PGP encryption for secure messaging. I am not a security expert, but I am a mathematician and I am confortable with the Linux command line. This guide is for people who want to use PGP for secure messaging easily. You will need to be okay with typing commands into the Linux command line in order to do this, but I will tell you exactly what to enter.

Part 1: XMPP

Mastodon is like email, but for social media. You sign up for an account with a server, and then you can talk with any other accounts that are signed up on other servers, as long as your servers are getting along. (No one wants emails from the sketchy spam server, and we want to be able to choose between Yahoo, Gmail, etc.) XMPP (a.k.a. Jabber) is the same thing for text messaging.

Just like signing up for an email/Mastodon account, you need to sign up for an account. You can find a list of servers at list.jabber.at/ and will probably at least need to provide an email addess when making an account.

Once you have made an account, you need a client. On Linux, I've been having a good time using Dino (dino.im/). You can then enter your account name and password to log into your XMPP account and start chatting! There are both public rooms and you can also message directly with your friends.

"Google refuses to deny it received encryption order from UK government"

The UK’s encryption-breaking order for a backdoor into iCloud isn’t a one-off.

The secret hearing happening RIGHT NOW is bigger than just Apple. If the government wins, our right to privacy and security falls.

Other services will be hit.

U.S. lawmakers say Google has refused to deny that it received a Technical Capability Notice from the U.K. — a mechanism to access encrypted messages that Apple reportedly received.

The UK government wants to be able to access anything, anywhere, any time — from your pics to your docs.

It begins with Apple. Other services will be next. That's why we must take a stand NOW!

Keep our Apple data encrypted

It is reported that the Home Office has ordered Apple to build a backdoor into its encrypted services so that they can get hold of content that any Apple user has upload to the cloud. Encryption keeps our private information safe and secure.

The message is clear across the political divide: let's hear it!

The UK government should argue in open court why they want to make us less secure by ordering a backdoor into Apple encryption.

A secret Tribunal would be an affront to the privacy and security issues at stake. It must be held in public.

Bipartisan US Congress Members want the secrecy around the UK's encryption-breaking order to be lifted.

"It is imperative that the UK's technical demands of Apple - and of any other US companies - be subjected to robust, public analysis and debate."

“Secret court hearings featuring intelligence agencies and a handful of individuals approved by them do not enable robust challenges on highly technical matters.”
