The Saskatoon Transit OnDemand app is dangerous, proprietary, unsafe software and shouldn't be used by anyone. Whatever manager in the city who has allowed this app to be advertised to the public should be fired. The developer, SpareLabs should be shut down, and everyone involved jailed.

Treat it like malware: do a factory reset to a known safe state on any device that has had this app installed

Reminder : if someone is telling you to install some app via the Google Play or Apple iStore ...that app is not safe and you should not use it

Telegram should *not* be enough for anyone. Telegram is #Unsafesoftware and should only be used as an alternative to abjectly terrible alternatives like facebook, and only if https://cwtch.im / other alternatives aren't an option.

@yustier Line appears to be unsafe, proprietary software and should be treated like malware. #unsafesoftware #line

#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.

censorship, mass survveillance, and the abuse of power

it's "free" only if the security of your computer system, your privacy, and the values of the freedom of the people around you has no value

“(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

"If medical treatments, say, were
decided on the spot by practitioners with no systematic evaluations,
no controlled experimentation, no
sampling to learn about populations, and no attempt at quality
control, we as statisticians would
consider this an ethical failing, or
at the very least a level of public
health malpractice revealing serious
ignorance of research design."

this is what I see EVERY GODDAMN DAY in the CS/IT world

#aptnlumi / #lumi is #unsafesoftware and shouldn't be used by anyone.

@schestowitz #tiktok being #unsafesoftware *should* be banned. The world would similarly be a better place if windows/MS office were banned in india/china/bangladesh, too
