Fortunately, getting killed by the CIA by means of predator drone strike is not everybody's threat model. For others - certain French judges for example - a real threat can be getting sanctioned by the US government and completely locked out of US services.

So yes, know your threat model when picking between #Signal and #Conversations_im.

If getting killed by means of a #predatorDrone strike were among my realistic #threatModels, I'ld avoid owning a #SIM card in the first place. Which is one of the prerequisites for a Signal account. #Jabber ftw.

Pour ceux qui disent qu'ils n'ont rien à cacher et donc à craindre quand on leur signale la quantité d'informations qu'ils partagent sur internet, voici le swapping :

"Après avoir recueilli suffisamment d'informations, le fraudeur contacte l'opérateur téléphonique en se faisant passer pour la victime...Il prétend généralement avoir perdu son smartphone..., et demande que son numéro soit transféré sur une nouvelle carte SIM...

"Comment reconnaitre les signes...?

-perte soudaine du service mobile,
-recevoir des notifications de connexion depuis des appareils inconnus...

@netopwibby OFC #FirefoxOS would've been a success if people exited about it (like me) and #developers (like @fuchsiii) were ever abke to legally obtain any device with FirefoxOS on it.
  • AFAIK the only Firefox OS #phone offered in the #EU was a #SimLock'd / #NetLock'd #Prepaid device sold in #Spain, where they demanded #KYC for the #SIM, making it impossible to legally obtain it back then without having to fly down to #Spain, ID at a store, fly back and then be overcharged for #DataRoaming!

IMHO, @Mozilla / #Mozilla cannot be trusted at all!

This basically confirms my suspicions that:

— Firefox OS would've worked
— Mozilla leadership has always been interested in chasing fads
— Letting smart, motivated people work on cool shit is necessary to create the future.
