Is it even christian to force a sermon onto people

Well historically Christian denominations have been quite pushy to say the least.

That… is not a study by anyone who knows what they are talking about. It also does not mention fingerprints at all.

They seem to believe that the app can use permissions undeclared in the manifest file because they obviously think it’s only for the store to show the permissions to the user. Android will not actually allow an app to use undeclared permissions. The most rational explanation is the codebase is shared with different version of the app (possibly not released) that had different manifests.

It also makes a big deal of checking if running as root. That is not evidence of having an escalation exploit. If they have an ability to get root before running the app why would they need to use the app to exploit it? They could just do whatever they wanted and avoid leaving traces in the app. Though I doubt they would root phones to just brick them. It’s the kind of mischief you would expect from a kid writing viruses, not an intelligence agency or criminal enterprise.

Users who root their own phones are very unlikely to run temu as root. In fact a lot of apps related to shopping or banking try to detect root to refuse to work as your system is unsafely. In any case it’s a very niche group to target.

To keep things short, that ‘study’ does not really look credible or written by actual experts.

In service of their country? Did the US make them US citizens?

Because most US informants were working against their countries in some cases even after the US invaded.

With the context of piracy in mind sites located beyond your own country’s authority are a better choice as they are less likely to cooperate.

Of course unless you take measures your isp will know you 've been accessing that site. Additionally even though the domain is normally under Russian control your country’s authority can actually order your ISP to have it’s DNS direct you elsewhere.

Awesome 👍

Robots and automation have been cutting ‘mundane’ jobs for literal centuries.

Artists are frankly out of touch and callous when they imply other people’s jobs should be replaced.

Librewolf’s extension store has refused Russia’s request?

For xpis that are on the store it’s absolutely correct. Which is the case here. It can be downloaded once and redistributed in any way (sneakernet) and installed offline.

Myself, just installed soundfixer via .xpi on windows 10 Firefox.

There is also no such thing as a “retail” Firefox.

I hope their values are not “get some good press”.

Firefox being banned (or even chrome) won’t change the outlook of Russians more than… fighting a friggin war (and doing badly).

You can still get the plugins via other means (getting them from somebody who already had them, getting a non flagged vpn to access the store).

In this context it’s better for Firefox not to be the illegal unpatriotic software.

They don’t block them. They stopped distributing them in Russia.

They are not disabling installed addons and you can always install addons from a file in Firefox.

Yes it will be more difficult to install and more risky to get a tampered version of the extension but if they did not comply the same problems would exist and extend to the actual browser.

Which is better than bricking a machine

Frankly " injecting a command after shell-metacharacters" makes it sound much more mystical and arcane than"just use the normal one liner syntax to run 2 commands"

… Do you think I can just keep the last comment in mind or something?

The discussion takes place in a post linking https://lemmy.world/post/16211417 . Surely that brings it into scope? The linked post begins

I feel like we need to talk about Lemmy’s massive tankie censorship problem

That does seem hostile to me. As does the drive to try and split communities

Also, me calling you out is not “blackmailing”, just me ensuring that downvotes like yours don’t become a pile-on.

You have to be kidding me. Why would tagging people who downvoted a post prevent a pile-on of downvotes? Is it a lemmy bug? Or is it that some people who would want to downvote your post would be intimidated by being ‘called out’? Maybe my English is bad but vote->get called-out seems to fit ‘blackmail’ just fine.

Do you think I will somehow be blackmailed because you tagged me dude?

I am downvoting all participants in this grassroots campaign against lemmy developers and diverse political opinions.
