A Letter to #Discord for not Supporting the #Linux Desktop
theevilskeleton.gitlab.io/2022…
I rewrote the whole article because I sounded extremely rude before. It's not nice to be rude to developers, whether you like them or not; whether the application is open source or not. Hopefully this revision is respectful and doesn't sound like I am shaming them.
Discord is popular among the Linux desktop community. Thanks to Electron, the framework that Discord uses, it was possible for Discord to port the client over to Linux very easily.TheEvilSkeleton
Case it point, the text in my image was revealed by @janale about fifteen minutes after my original post.
Warning: There’s an app for blurring out sensitive information in images called Obfuscate being featured on #GNOME Software right now.
Please be careful.
The default blur setting can easily be reversed.
The default should be to replace the areas with a solid colour or a pattern not derived from the underlying information.
This really should not be a featured app in its current state.

Glad to see npm has a security holding package for save-dev (it’s what you end up installing if you forget the dashes before the --save-dev flag) :)
(And here’s hoping, despite what it says on the site, that they never give that package to anyone.)

One side of the equation is r and the other side is multiplied by r and a value derived from s. So it would obviously be a really bad thing if r and s were both 0, because then you’d be checking that 0 = 0 ⨉ [a bunch of stuff], which will be true regardless of the value of [a bunch of stuff]! And that bunch of stuff is the important bits like the message and the public key. This is why the very first check in the ECDSA verification algorithm is to ensure that r and s are both >= 1.
Guess which check Java forgot?
