    Caspian report is crap opinions passing as geopolitical knowledge and analysis. I have watched a few of his vids. and the guy doesn’t know what is really happening in other foreign countries, but it doesn’t stop him from writing 30 mn long bullshit videos and impressing an audience that is just as uneducated about those subjects as him. i.e Any one who claims to know everything about every other country in the world is a FRAUD.







  • If you’re not that familiar with the language, it’s likely you won’t be contributing to the project.

    You can still borrow and implement features developed by project x into project y , but I do understand the time limitation.

    because I am more of a visual learner I wondered whether developers don’t use diagrams and flow charts, or just don’t include them in the docs.









  • Briar shares your hardware’s Bluetooth MAC address with your contacts even if you haven’t added that contact or connected with that contact using Bluetooth. meaning all your briar contacts even those on groups are storing your MAC address ( a unique device identifier) which makes plausible deniability virtual impossible. I remember reading the devs themselves acknowledge that briar isn’t a anonymous chat app (somewhere in their git repo or the wiki or the blog, can’t remember where exactly), so beware of this aspect.


  • Unlike most privacy concerned people. I don’t believe that privacy is very useful without anonymity. metadata is at the heart of surveillance and tracking. In this regard I was a little optimistic when tor came out and hoped that many technologies will be build around that. that didn’t happen because you can’t build a business and make a profit by providing anonymity. now half websites are systematically blocking tor exit nodes. it can’t be used safely with torrents. and even briar the messenger built to use tor has been compromised by its developers so that you can’t be anonymous on briar . All in all I share the same frustration and can’t see a brighter future for privacy and anonymity .
