#moesmalware — Public Fediverse posts

@sneeden @crunklord420 the presser they had yesterday was long and nonsensical and i couldn't even make it to the end I was so livid

1) The end of the COVID passport is a good thing...however there's a provincial government tender for an identification system so although we're getting rid of #moesmalware we're just replacing it with something else later once we spend a few more million$ on it, it'll probably be integrated into our drivers licenses or something.

2) Shahab's reasoning as far as what the public is supposed to do was disgraceful and @Eris -level wrong: basically arguing that to excuse @scottmoe 's endangering the public that the changes won't have much of an effect because no one was actually following the rules and so it's plausible that removing them won't make things any worse https://shitposter.club/notice/AGH6UhT44pmyEmMfFg

3) The changes are not, otherwise a good idea, and there is an active movement, more than anything else in the pandemic so far, to push back - the NDP, FSIN, Sask federation of labour, CUPE and Allah forgive me even Liberals, are starting to get on the same page of being willing to push back.

4) Scott Moe's historical illiteracy would be stunning if he weren't so consistently ignorant of so many things before that point : when he says that saskatchewan has never had 2 classes of people, he completely misses that we *still* have 2 classes of people, thanks to the Indian Act and have since Saskatchewan started always had divisions that are much, much stronger than covidiot vs genpop. The best example of this kind of division is how much police / court BS that Tristen Durocher had to deal with vs the glowing support of the #truckersforcovid had from the sask party.

Someone needs to tell OPC that there is effectively no informed consent to proprietary, unsafe software like #moesmalware.

You cannot be 'informed' of what it is doing.

in the meanwhile

so far I haven't seen anyone else complaining about the lack of source code of #moesmalware

seems like i'm the only one voice out of a million who's calling out for such a thing

"it's everyone's being constantly carded" - friend in yqr on the situation in north central, post #moesmalware

#moesmalware : the SK Vax Verifier App is #unsafesoftware and should not be used by anyone. The source code does not appear to be available, and is certainly not linked to at the google play store.

@SneedsterSpeedster Also worth mentioning:

it *normalizes the use of similar software*, just as using Photoshop publicly raises the social acceptableness of engaging in unethical behaviour (using unsafe, untrustable, unethical software), using #moesmalware encourages other software to be used that is even more terrible with the following argument "What, you don't want to use $G_TERRIBLE_APP_29038423? But you use #moesmalware! I am very clever.", regardless of what $G_TERRIBLE_APP_29038423 is or does.

“(It is) security best practice to not disclose technical details of any nature or issue,” Church said.

in other words "our security is so shitty we can't even talk about it in public"

This is #securitybyobscurity, which is exactly the level of incompetence I expect from the #saskparty government

I've been trying to tell people: #MoesMalware is #unsafesoftware, and it shouldn't be trusted to be secure enough to install on your device
