This release makes diaspora* a OpenID Connect provider. This means you can authenticate to third parties with your diaspora* account and let them act as your diaspora* account on your behalf. This feature is still considered in early development, we still expect edge cases and advanced features of the specificiation to not be handled correctly or be missing. But we expect a basic OpenID Connect compliant client to work. Please submit issues! We will also most likely still change the authorization scopes we offer and started with a very minimal set. Most work still required is on documentation as well as designing and implementing the data API for all of Diaspora's functionality. Contributions are very welcome, the hard work is done!
@drymer what? Why is an illusion to keep my notes private from people I don't follow? I understand that there's nothing 100% private, but if I own my server, no one except my followers and theirs servers will know about what I wrote. cc/ @echosa @thomask @zoowar
I've got my Android device entirely torified. Should I use i2p then? Instead of taking care about our !security on the Internet they're just imprisoning us.
According to the updated rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, judges might be given powers to issue search warrants to remotely access devices that use privacy tools like TOR across the US.
As reported, this Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure define the rules for criminal prosecutions. This update in the federal rule might bring an enhanced expansion in law enforcement’s ability through which remote using privacy tools can be engaged to gather evidence, with zero public debate on the new powers.
On the TOR and VPN side, this change in rule might enable the government surveillance team to track people who reject location tracking by apps on their smartphones.
