Here's the actual relevant part

These are security risks to be sure, and while these permissions are (mostly) on the surface, possibly defensible, together they do clearly represent an app trying to gather all of the data that it can.

However, a lot of info from this report is overblown. For example code compilation is sketchy to be sure, but without a privilege escalation attack, it can't do anything the app couldn't do with an update.

Also, there's some weird language in the report, like counting the green security issues in other apps (like tiktok) as if they were also a problem, despite the image showing that green here means it doesn't present that particular risk.

All of this to say, if you have temu, probably uninstall it. It's clearly collecting all the data it can get.

But it's unlikely to be the immediate threat that will have China taking over your phone like this report implies.

So things are working out for you, specifically. Great, nothing needs to change.

What the fuck is a metaphor?

MajinBlayze ,

X is the w

MajinBlayze ,

That makes more sense

Probably worth noting that this bot uses LSA and, at least as I understand it, is quite different from gpts and the current wave of "AI" as discussed in this article.

My reaction when when

Who needs a personality when you've got guns

This was me last year. I didn't get so much done

MajinBlayze ,

Whatever you have to tell yourself to avoid sounding like you're using the same transportation method as the commoners.

MajinBlayze ,

It's been a wild season, I'm sure

MajinBlayze ,

At least we've all got reasonable unemployment measures to make sure these people are able to transition to better work.

MajinBlayze ,

It's an authorization to give the executive branch the authority to ban. Completely different.

MajinBlayze ,

I'm not sure "Open Home Foundation" was the best name to give a privacy focused advocacy program. It kind of sounds like the opposite.

MajinBlayze ,

If AI is outlawed, only outlaws will have AI

Something that I don't see mentioned, is that gaben is a mortal being, and there's no plan as far as we can tell what happens to the company when he retires.

Even if he runs the company "perfectly" until the day he dies, at some point it gets sold off to the highest bidder, and whoever that is will want a return on their investment. Someone will slaughter that golden goose, it's only a matter of time.

MajinBlayze ,

I don't think hoping so makes it likely.

MajinBlayze ,

Time is a flat circle

MajinBlayze ,

I've found a lot of people are legitimately more interested when you sell stuff this way because terms like "union" or "socialism" have been heavily stigmatized "for some reason"

MajinBlayze ,

makes software for pirates

please avoid pirated versions

Good luck with that.

MajinBlayze ,

You should update your kernel at least once every 10 years

MajinBlayze ,

At least YouTube is recommending videos by color now

MajinBlayze ,

Those are two different repositories, one hosted by GitHub, the other by linuxserver.io. both are published by linuxserver, so there shouldn't be a practical difference between them.

Hello fellow Cracking the Cryptic enjoyer

MajinBlayze ,

I used unraid for a long while. I recently switched to opensuse microos for a better desktop experience, and it's been fantastic

That's the fun thing; go far enough left and find that guns become an important tool for the proletariat to protect itself from the ruling class.
