Firefox accounts are becoming Mozilla accounts. I swear they move back and forth between Firefox and Mozilla branding like the tide.https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-accounts-renamed-mozilla-accounts

I only found this out because I was trying to figure out why the Login With Firefox option disappeared from Pocket. Apparently you just type in the email address associated with your Firefox/Mozilla account. Would have been useful to know!

Rolling my eyes at this. I've spent years listening to all levels of law enforcement claiming that everyday people having access to encryption creates crime, but when they want to "go dark" it's for our own good.#nyc #nypd https://hellgatenyc.com/the-nypd-doesnt-want-the-public-to-hear-what-they-say-over-the-radio

Additional context: city programs (schools, parks, libraries, etc) are being cut across #NYC but there's $390M for police radios to "go dark."https://gothamist.com/news/nypd-is-spending-390-million-on-a-new-encrypted-radio-system

If you look closely you can see that the Feitian MultiPass went into pairing mode after being run over.

Reading through @soatok's post on Signal. "If you walk away from it with more confidence in the security of Signal too, that’s cool, but I don’t think most people get their security advice from gay furry bloggers."Buddy...I'm on Mastodon.

Pavel Durov, the cofounder of #Telegram, has been claiming that #Signal is backdoored since at least 2017 and presented no proof. In fact, he seems to be making the same arguments today as he did seven years ago.https://www.pcmag.com/opinions/telegram-founder-pavel-durov-owes-me-a-million-dollars

I know my whole "Pavel Durov owes me a million dollars" thing is goofy, but neither he nor Telegram ever responded to my questions about Durov's claims or the Telegram platform.In fact, when I most recently attempted to get a comment from Telegram I found that my account (admittedly unused for some time) had been suspended.
