Disappointed to see this on the front page.


Correction.

SKS is semi-automatic.

So don't need the $200 ATF machine gun stamp.


I was gonna say something about phone numbers and network analysis, but the link above said it better.

>>1 Mobile number

>>Unlike obsolete encryption systems, we require mobile phone to register in our system. Your account is tied to your phone number. Never mind that in many countries around the world SIM-cards can be bought only after presenting a legal ID, and that mobile networks themselves have all-encompassing LI (Lawful Interception) interfaces by design. Also let's ignore the fact that mobile networks still heavily rely on SS7 protocol stack from the 70s, with the security model based on gentlemen's agreement. Some people claim that words "mobile network" and "secure" can't be used in the same sentence, but our security experts think it's very safe. Do you guys not have phones?


Can't believe this wasn't mentioned sooner!


MacOS only.

SavedYouAClick :)


It works on linux too -- I just downloaded it to test it out.


The 40+MB download tells me this is Electron(?)


The recent trend of terrible introductions is very annoying.

The first sentence on any new app should be...

App is a (what it can do) for (Windows/Mac/Linux) written in/with (languages/libraries/frameworks)

And FFS if it's an Electron app, SAY SO!!!!! Some people do avoid those on principal.


Thank you for the TLDR.

Terrible writing and Twitter is a fatal combo.

Since you are name dropping projects:

Tox, a P2P Skype alternative.

Unfortunately it is not well known outside of tinfoil hat community.



It's worth mentioning that 7.62 ammo weights about 3X more than .223. It's my understanding most US military units use .233 largely for this reason.

The whole concept of .223 is to put more propellent behind a smaller projectile. This gives the projectile more speed which makes it exceptionally lethal and accurate at very long distance. Unlike handguns that basically poke a hole, .223 generates a shockwave when it strikes at a multiple of the speed of sound.
