But that would miss out the large amount of government control over the masses! Think of the kids, not of your rights being trampled on! /s

Very interesting technique to get the widths of the glyphs uniform without them looking ugly in most cases. OK, one can make it look bad if you know the “pain points” of the system, but in normal flowing texts, the fonts do look good.

The sane choice would be to leave.

Then it is high time to change this. It won’t get any better - it will get worse.

Well, your decision to finally leave that hellhole is overdue then.

Of course, no backdoor is secure, but among them, there are the just plain bad and the even worse.

Both shitty, yes, but an unsecure backdoor is opening the door to every hacker on the planet, not just one group.

And spyware for free, and I would not be surprised if they included an insecure backdoor at no extra cost.

Well, they already left the EU, now they want to leave the internet, too.

I’ve read the documentation on that feature, and still don’t get over it. How can anyone with knowledge of computers be so dumb to even consider such an idea, lest implement it?

This feature is just a BIG flag waving “AbUsE mE!”

Ah, ok. that clarifies it.

The article is quite vague on how this is implemented. Does it require JS to be activated to work? That would be a big NO for anyone really looking into privacy, but could work for those who use TOR basically as a free VPN to escape stupid geoblocking rules.

And what will prevent DDOSers from just creating dummy requests without the intention to ever wanting to solve any PoWs? It will still allocate resources on the other side.

“all those COBOL developer jobs” nowadays probably fit in one bus. That’s why every company that can afford it moves away from COBOL.
