Good things are happening in the fediverses! What's on your list?
I'm working on a post for @thenexusofprivacy@infosec.exchange highlighting positive things happening in the fediverses. Of course there's also a lot of stuff that isn't so positive, which (not unreasonably) draws a lot of the attention ... but Mastodon in particular can be a very negative place, so it's useful to notice that hey, it's not all bad.
Here's some of the things I've got on my list of good things happening ... what's on yours?
- The Website League is a great example of focusing on the social aspects of social networking, and I'm really impressed with how they're starting with the right priorities from the beginning, learning lessons from the past, and doing their best to avoid common pitfalls (including anti-Blackness). Just as exciting to me is the network topology they're using: an "island network", taking an allow-list approach to federation. Consent FTW!
- @gotosocial@superseriousbusiness.org release 0.17, with interaction controls and a lot of other improvements. I've been consistenty impressed by GtS's focus on smaller instances, privacy by default, and security; I also think they've made some great decisions including not providing their own web UI (there are plenty of great UI's out there) and having a flagship instance. This is their first beta release, and i'm excited enough that I made the jump and am setting up my own instance -- in fact I think I'll even tag @jdp23@gotosocial.thenexus.today to see if it works.
- DAIR Institute's PeerTube page, including videos of their Data Workers Inquiry and Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000 (hosted by @emilymbender@dair-community.social and @alex@dair-community.social) is a great example of a fediverse presence from world-class researchers taking an anti-oppressive approach. Today's fediverse lets them provide surveillance capitalism-free access to this anti-oppressive work, and interact with people in multiple languages (thanks to Mastodon's easy-to-use in-app translation), how cool is that?
- And speaking of world-class researchers, @bonfire@indieweb.social is working with Nibö and others on Open Science Network. Bonfire's also some very doing interesting work on Prosocial Design Patterns, and the combination of their flexible framework and a focus on the social aspects of social networking opens up all kinds of possibilities.
- Bandwagon, an open community for musicians and fans, has a chance to fill a major void as Bandcamp continues to deteriorate – and is built on Emissary, one of several new platforms and toolkits that could potentially make it easier for people to build ActivityPub-based applications
- #Letterbook is continuing to make progress, and their recent moderation survey -- shared broadly with the moderator community -- is also a good example of starting with the right priorities from the beginning. As Letterbook's @jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io said last year, "Tools are also reciprocal with culture. We build tools, but we are also shaped by the affordances of those tools. There's no magic to this, either, and nothing changes overnight. But when you change what's possible, what's easy, what's visible, you can change behavior. Changing behavior changes culture. And everything is downstream from culture."
- WEIRD is making a prosocial network based on personal websites and the combined principles of local-first and peer-to-peer. They're using the LEAF Protocol (based on Willow), and it's great to see explorations of alternatives to ActivityPub.
- And speaking of alternatives to ActivityPub, things are hopping in the ATmosphere, the fediverse based on Bluesky's AT Protocol. FrontPage, a link aggregator, is now open to the public ... hmm, maybe I'll try posting a link to this article there. (Update: it worked!) Over the last few weeks @laurenshof@indieweb.social's Last Week in the ATmosphere on @fediversereport@mastodon.social has covered chat service Picosky, linktree alternative linkat.blue, and audio space app Bluecast, which is big in Japan and has recently added karaoke. Plus, all the Brazilian Portuguese in my feed is definitely flexing my language muscles kkkkkkkk!
There's a lot more going on of course ... what's on your list?

So you meant to say "Cincinnati will literally compose people without a shred of evidence" ?
Is that correct?
A collection of symptoms is a syndrome. Once there is a known definite cause, reclassification as a disease can take place. Lay misuse of the terms and reluctance to adopt updated designations have aided in a loss of distinction in what they refer to.
There is something else entirely to be said for how quickly one can progress from the disbelief of a particular diagnosis as anything beyond a punchline to descanting over the marvels of modern medicine as they relate to futher study of the mechanisms. If nothing else, it's a great reminder of how much information is available to us on a whim.
It's absolutely ridiculous how hard the school systems make it to get on a bus route.
You basically have to stay at the same residence and at the same school for their entire education. Even just moving within the district and they use it as an excuse to "put you on a wait list".
Add in the shortage of drivers (who wants that job) and any excuse they can use to change boundaries or cut a route.

Very possible. There was a group of podiatrists who wanted to add athletes foot as a primary symptom of COVID. I can't seem to find their letter right now. Google really sucks these days.
It's a serious virus. People don't realize. Just because most people fight it off like a flu doesn't mean is was as easy on your body for it to do so. Imagine if we had a president that didn't treat it as a joke. Might be a few million people still alive.
okay, got it. thanks.
that is a heck of a development, I now understand the cause for the hullabaloo.
Dropping this question here because I'm lazy. I have a Bsc and like to read peer review stuff sometimes so I feel like I didn't waste my education entirely. Has anyone read any good meta studies of mrna or covid vaccines in general? Even some of the peer review stuff (pubmed) appears to be tainted. Feeling curious, learny, but also lazy.

I’m sorry I really shouldn’t be giving medical advice. It’s been a long time since I studied neurology. I’ve spent the past decade only on post viral diseases like ME.
But please please find yourself a doctor that listens and cares if that is possible. Because it clearly sounds like you need tests and you need a doc thats available for you. Maybe join some local MS support groups and ask if anyone has docs that do a really good job and try from there.
I’ll tell you this as a doctor. I would stay the hell away from some of my colleagues. Not every doctor is anywhere near good at their jobs. Some don’t care, some barely passed and don’t want to learn anything new, some like to always assume their patients have psychological problems. Find yourself a good doctor who is proactive and cares, and everything will be so much easier. Sending you good luck.
For me to be a better friend by better understanding his new limitations...
He already has a good support network, they organised a fundraiser to get him an electric wheelchair, which is awesome! But at first I didn't understand why it was helping him, because I don't know enough about the condition. 🫣
Let me break it down so you see the point I was making - in case the bold wasn't enough:
Using high-resolution scanners, researchers at the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford have shown microscopic, structural abnormalities in the brainstems of those recovering from COVID-19.
Signs of brain inflammation were present up to 18 months after first contracting the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Here, they refer to people recovering from COVID-19, thus clearly indicate that patients are alive.
[…]
In living brains of those with long COVID, however, conventional MRI studies have shown no structural abnormalities in the brainstem.
This paragraph immediately follows one that talks about autopsy(!) results, and here, they start a sentence with "in living brains [..], however", setting the sentence up as a contradiction to the previous one, with an emphasis on the word living in the article itself.
Here's an example how the sentence should be written to not seemingly cause a contradiction / misdirect the reader:
However, previous studies conducted with conventional MRI had shown no structural abnormalities in the brainstem in living brains.
They put emphasis on the change in observation from autopsy to living brains, linking this paragraph more strongly to the preceeding one, when they should have put emphasis on the conventional studies, building the context for the subsequent paragraph.
This channel has a bunch of short (5 mins long videos) about ME to educate people.
There’s also a slightly outdated (but still worth the watch) oscar nominated documentary about it, which has been made free and put on youtube recently It’s Unrest by Jennifer Brea
One of my patients also runs this excellent website with a bunch of resources about the disease.
That is crazy. I didn't realize how bad it is in some areas. I live in a red state and have moved every year or two, and was able to get bus service with very little issue.
However, that does sound like the struggle with getting after school care. You pretty much need to get in the back of the line for every school and hope you'll get a spot so you can continue to work and pay rent.
It is honestly necessary sometimes. My daughter was eventually taken out of school by us entirely and put in a (public) online school because of how severely she was being bullied, but before that, we had to take her to school because she could handle getting on the bus with all the kids being horrible to her every morning and afternoon.
For a while, she was allowed to listen to an mp3 player with earbuds, but then they started just shouting over the earbuds. And bus drivers barely give a shit considering how low they're paid.
So yeah, sometimes people drive their kids to school for a reason.
It helps to check whether or not the things you say are true before you declare them.
In this case, it is not true that they are "pretty much useless for COVID."

Thank you for your answer and empathy.
Luckily I am already in good care in general and also medically treated (luckily it's in Europe otherwise I'd be broke and dead).
So regular checkups are there already. However what I miss is the deeper investigation, which might even provide data to research.
As someone with long COVID, I can vouch the debilitating mental effects. I was teaching math to 4th through 8th grade students when I got it. I can remember standing in a classroom talking about a lesson and just having my mind go blank in mid sentence. I couldn't function. Not knowing what I was talking about or even where I was. Thankfully the students where very understanding and someone would finish my point I was making. I still suffer from it yet today, nearly 2 years later.
I have respiratory issues despite every CT scan showing nothing more than a couple of small pneumonia scars form long ago. I should be able to breathe just fine with no reduction of lung capacity. It stems from a lack coordination with my diaphragm - It runs backwards when I exert myself causing shortness of breath. Another sign of probable brain injury. And despite using a therapy tool to try and fix the issue, at best it just helps a little.
The upshot is I have pretty much stopped doing a lot of things I used to do because of the difficulties breathing and I spend a lot more time away from people due to an unreasonable fear of COVID.
It has caused me to retire earlier than I wanted to. And my life has greatly changed - and not for the better either.

First, thank you for your concern. You are a good person and a credit to yourself.
I suppose mental therapy might be a path I could follow. But it's more a concern of getting COVID yet again and I'm old and in the high risk age group. And despite being vaccinated and getting boosters as needed, there is frankly no guarantee I won't get it again. It's not that I shun contact and interaction with others, I certainly don't. But minimizing contact with crowds is medically a good thing for me. And messing around in a town/city a lot is asking for trouble. I'm close enough to the end of life that I don't need the extra help in getting there - it's coming soon enough as is.
I did do therapy with a Speech Therapist, it's where I got the breathing device. They are oddly well qualified for issues like mine. But, evidently COVID can create a short circuit in the brain that physical therapy can help some but really can't fix according to my Pulminologist and the Speech therapist. And as far as just getting plain exercise goes, I live in a very rural part of a very large forest. And between daily chores, I spend copious amounts of time in that forest foraging until the snow flies and at this time of the year hunting. In fact, if it stops misting and the fog lifts this afternoon, I will be out with a dog doing some grouse hunting chasing after supper. I don't quit because of limitations. Quitting brings on death much faster. And I've seen that enough during my many years as a medic.
I hate the changes that COVID has forced upon me. But I acknowledge it's existence and I'm fighting it as hard as I can.
I don't really understand what the difference between the fixed and og version is.
The fixed version is slightly is better, I agree, but I wouldn't call it a necessary fix.
You are judging a field specialist(s) on basically their communication skills. We can't all structure sentences well, brainholes work differently, wording thoughts is hard.
It's a bit like bitching how a perfectly working shovel isn't ornate enough since if it was it would have been more pleasant to work with - it's prob true but it's such a low gain 'nice-to-have' feature people generally don't bother with it.
Imho narratives need to be pleasant and/or artistic, eg I expect a novel to be written good (tho absolutely not a huge point for me), I don't expect that from a game theory book, I expect it to be correct. (Another example might be how stupidity convoluted laws/contracts/t&a are written.)
What I kinda demand (only slightly irrationally or at least to an impractical extend) is that the subject is conveyed in an exact manner. I expect exact communicating overall.
And the og text you quoted is exact.
Oh ... and at both ends it's literacy - their (+to some extend whoever proofread it) literacy levels shows how eloquently they conveyed their data & thoughts, your literacy level shows how you though they are contradicting themselves.

This article is from before they dropped droplet theory later in 2020. In the section titled "Factors to Consider when Using Cloth Masks to Protect Wearers and to Prevent Spread of Infection during the COVID-19 Pandemic":
The primary transmission routes for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are thought to be inhalation of respiratory droplets and close contact; therefore, WHO recommends wearing medical masks during routine care and using respirators during aerosol-generating procedures and other high-risk situations (17). However, SARS-COV-2 is a novel pathogen, and growing evidence indicates the possibility of airborne transmission.
They then go on to explain that cloth masks are the option of last resort and are not very useful. Surgical masks with proper fitting around the face and a certain minimum rating for water resistance will help, but most of the "surgical" masks we were all buying do not have enough layers and no water resistance ratings, and who among us got training on how to properly fit a mask to our faces?

On 15 October 2024, the US baselessly designated the Samidoun Palestinian Political Prisoner Solidarity Network (Samidoun) as a Specially Designated National (SDN) by summarily adding it to the Treasury Department’s list of sanctioned organizations and individuals. At the same time, Canada designated Samidoun as a “terrorist entity” under Canada’s Criminal Code. Samidoun, a longtime target of state repression and liberal zionist counterinsurgency from within the movement, is a principled and unyielding international voice for thousands of Palestinian political prisoners. We categorically reject this illegitimate “terrorist” designation, and we call for international progressive forces to stand with Samidoun.
Imperialists have always weaponized “terrorist” labels to delegitimize liberation movements, but the designation of Samidoun, an unarmed solidarity movement, is a qualitative escalation. Whether it is Cuba being designated as a “state sponsor of terrorism,” Stop Cop City protestors facing domestic terrorism charges, or material support to terrorism (MST) charges being weaponized against anti-zionists, these terror lists and designations must be totally rejected and abolished. The US, Canada, and the zionist entity are the real “terrorists,” the genocidal settler states built on mountains of corpses and rivers of blood, at this very moment burning Palestinians alive in hospital tents, and slandering as “terrorists” those who dare to resist them.
As the US-backed zionist genocide intensifies in Palestine and Lebanon, the counterinsurgency intensifying against the anti-imperialist movement is no surprise. Make no mistake, fascism is already here. This attack on Samidoun is an attack on the entire anti-imperialist movement, and marks the beginning of a wave of broader criminalization and repression of pro-resistance speech, weaponizing laws like MST and RICO to break solidarity. Anti-imperialist forces must rigorously adapt our strategies to this new phase of repression. It is more crucial than ever to voice support for the resistance because the more of us that do, the harder it is for the state to divide and disorganize us. By cowering now, by withholding critical solidarity, by allowing the state to isolate organizations through lawfare and phony “terrorist” designations, we only relinquish our collective power. We must affirm the righteousness of the Axis of Resistance, and also the righteousness of militant resistance in the imperial core.
As Samidoun’s international coordinator Charlotte Kates said in 2023, “We should understand that the reason why terror laws exist, is to maintain imperialist domination in the region and to provide a criminal mechanism of undermining the connection of the diaspora to their own liberation struggle, of cutting off any form of meaningful international solidarity to those who are on the front lines confronting and making a fundamental political change in the way that people advocate and speak about Palestine and other liberation movements…
We’ve got to fight to get resistance organizations off the list, but we’ve got to fight to bring down these structures altogether because the only reason they exist is to extend imperial power. They don’t exist for any other reason. They exist to destroy our movements. They exist to demobilize us, they exist to separate us from one another, and we have to resist that separation, that splitting, that attempt to create an acceptable alternative of the future within imperialism.”
As Samidoun said in their statement, “We Keep Resisting: US and Canada sanction Samidoun,” on 16 October: “As Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, we reiterate our support for the Palestinian people, the prisoners and the Palestinian, Arab and Islamic resistance, who are confronting the genocide and occupation on a daily basis.
At the same time, we want to stress that Samidoun does not have any material or organizational ties to entities listed on the terrorist lists of the United States, Canada or the European Union.
We reiterate our words upon German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’ announcement of the demand to ban Samidoun: In Arabic, the word “Samidoun,” means those who are steadfast. We use this name to refer to the Palestinian prisoners, who remain behind bars, struggling for freedom. Today we affirm that we shall remain steadfast and committed to the Palestinian people, until victory, return and liberation.”
An attack on one of us is an attack on us all. Unity of the Fields
We are all Samidoun!
Abolish the “terrorist” lists!
Let repression breed more resistance.

Scott M. Stolz is back at developing his new third-party themes which we expect to improve Hubzilla's UX. On top of that, he plans to launch a bunch of new public hubs, also so aspiring users in North America won't have to resort to overseas hubs.

It’s a pity about the name. Cultural appropriation of native Americans is an ongoing problem and this is just tone deaf.
The article goes in a direction I like: plurality and to allow different communities to develop alongside each other is great. However, I still think we should push for establishing universal human rights. I'm not a fan of moral realitivism. I think every community should be able to get onto the Fediverse, but we don't need to applaud every community to do so, and can also take actions against communities that do bad things (e.g. by defederating).
I would recommend "The Dawn of Everything" by David Graber and David Wengrow, which shows how humans managed to live in different forms of community already throughout history. Maybe in the Fediverse, this could become more easy on the internet, too.

A change queued up last week by AMDGPU driver maintainer Alex Deucher will now default to the fullscreen 3D workload profile for discrete GPUs. AMD APUs with integrated graphics will continue to use the default "bootup" power profile but discrete graphics cards will be running in the "fullscreen 3D" power profile by default.

Those are called checks and balances, and are there to make sure power is distributed. It's good that you need buy in from lots of different people.
You don't want to make a system where a few people can go drastically against the will of most people. So you'd first need to build wide support across the majority of the country or state. That's the whole point of democracy.

America is not a functional democracy, and needs to be overthrown and replaced with a functional democracy. The State needs to be entirely smashed and a new one built on top of the ashes.
One of the features of a functioning democracy would be ranked choice voting, or something like it, right? So I'd hope we could agree that that would be a good place to start.
As for other factors, what other sort of inherent structural issues to the system do you see, other than that the people currently in those balancing positions don't agree with you?

We have very little chance of getting that just by trying to vibe it into existence, and even if we got it it wouldn't suddenly mean that parties would cease accountability to the ultra-wealthy donors.

Outside of the fact that Capitalism will always mean the interests of Capital, not people, are going to be represented, there exists no real direct line from the workplace to the region to parliament, the will of the masses is not upheld because the masses do not have democratic participation that matters outside of local elections. The entire system needs to be restructured.
interests of Capital, not people, are going to be represented
Though campaign donations for advertising? Or bribery?
no real direct line from the workplace to the region to parliament
Why do you think voting in national elections doesn't matter?
Though campaign donations for advertising? Or bribery?
Both, and more. The US State is designed against change, and the only parties of any federal relevance are the DNC and GOP, who are aligned in service to their donors, and maintain close business ties to the defense industry and banks.
Why do you think voting in national elections doesn't matter?
Because the US is designed in a manner where you choose which of two far-right parties to support. The DNC always positions themselves as not quite as right wing as the GOP, so no matter how far right the GOP swerves, the DNC trails just behind.
Combined with major issues such as the electoral college, most votes don't even have an influence on which of the two far-right parties wins, only those in swing states. The only election that matters for the vast majority are local elections.
Electoralism has been a dead strategy for Leftists for centuries, it's an answered question and the answer is no, Revolution is necessary to enact change.
Advertising can be controlled, and the US is more the exception rather than the rule.
the only parties
Because of first past the post. Ranked choice would help greatly.
two far-right parties
Ranked choice would help. But do you think a large majority of voters are significantly further left than the DNC? Really?
I think the average opinion is between the two parties. So a socialist revolution would be against a democratic consensus. That means you wouldn't be able to set up a democracy post revolution, because it would be unpopular.
Plus getting rid of the checks and balances is really dangerous in letting people like Stallin, Mau, or Kim Il weasel their way into power and consolidate it to stay there.

Not in a Capitalist dictatorship. You can't vibe beneficial policies into place.

There can be no revolution without the support of the masses, are you talking about a coup? Who suggested that?
Plus getting rid of the checks and balances is really dangerous in letting people like Stallin, Mau, or Kim Il weasel their way into power and consolidate it to stay there.
Nobody argued against checks and balances, but against a Capitalist state designed to not fulfill the will of the masses.
That's why you set up the org that carries out the revolution in a democratic manner with checks and balances to begin with.
Please read theory.
The USSR and PRC did not have dictatorships, this is a misunderstanding of the Soviet structure and the concept of the Mass Line. Not even the CIA believed the USSR to be a dictatorship. The USSR had a more democratic structure than the US:
I recommend reading, among the other books linked, Blackshirts and Reds.
Elementary Principles of Philosophy, by Georges Politzer! Extremely straightforward and fantastic introduction to Dialectical and Historical Materialism, in a manner that builds from the beginnings of Idealism, Materialism, and Dialectics, and how over time these changed and built off each other alongside science, technology, and Mode of Production.
Great work, by the way!
China’s infosec leads accuse Intel of NSA backdoor, cite chip security flaws
cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/21476364
from The Register:
A Chinese industry group has accused Intel of backdooring its CPUs, in addition to other questionable security practices while calling for an investigation into the chipmaker, claiming its products pose "serious risks to national security."The Cybersecurity Association of China (CSAC), in a lengthy post on its WeChat account on Wednesday described Intel's chips as being riddled with vulnerabilities, adding that the American company's "major defects in product quality and security management show its extremely irresponsible attitude towards customers."
The CSAC also accused Intel of embedding a backdoor "in almost all" of its CPUs since 2008 as part of a "next-generation security defense system" developed by the US National Security Agency.
This allowed Uncle Sam to "build an ideal monitoring environment where only the NSA is protected and everyone else is 'naked,'" the post continued. "This poses a huge security threat to the critical information infrastructure of countries around the world, including China," the industry group claims.
The infosec org also recommends the Cyberspace Administration of China open an investigation into the security of Intel's products sold in the country "to effectively safeguard China's national security and the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese consumers."
Intel did not immediately respond to The Register's inquiries.

Frequent vulnerabilities and high failure rates. Intel product cybersecurity risks should be systematically checkedChina Cyberspace Security Association October 16, 2024 09:02
Frequent vulnerabilities and high failure rates
Intel product cybersecurity risks should be systematically checked
- Frequent security vulnerabilities
In August 2023, Intel CPU was exposed to the Downfall vulnerability, which is a CPU transient execution side channel vulnerability. It uses the Gather instruction in its AVX2 or AVX-512 instruction set to obtain sensitive data such as keys, user information, and key parameters previously stored in a specific vector register buffer. The vulnerability affects Intel's 6th to 11th generation Core, Celeron, and Pentium series CPUs, as well as 1st to 4th generation Xeon processors. In fact, as early as 2022, researchers reported the vulnerability to Intel, but Intel, knowing the existence of the vulnerability, neither acknowledged it nor took effective action. It continued to sell products with vulnerabilities until the vulnerability was publicly reported, and Intel was forced to take vulnerability repair measures. Five victims have filed a class action lawsuit against Intel in November 2023 in the San Jose Branch of the U.S. Federal District Court for the Northern California in the name of themselves and representatives of "CPU consumers across the United States".
Coincidentally, in November 2023, Google researchers disclosed that Intel CPUs have a high-risk vulnerability, Reptar. Exploiting this vulnerability, attackers can not only obtain sensitive data such as personal accounts, card numbers and passwords in the system in a multi-tenant virtualization environment, but also cause the physical system to hang or crash, resulting in denial of service for other systems and tenants it carries.
Since 2024, Intel CPUs have successively exposed vulnerabilities such as GhostRace, NativeBHI, and Indirector. Intel's major defects in product quality and security management show its extremely irresponsible attitude towards customers.
- Poor reliability and indifference to user complaints
Since the end of 2023, a large number of users have reported that crashes occur when using Intel's 13th and 14th generation Core i9 series CPUs to play specific games. Game manufacturers have even added pop-up processing in the game to warn users who use these CPUs. Dylan Browne, Unreal Engine Supervisor and Visual Effects Manager at visual effects studio ModelFarm, posted that the failure rate of computers using Intel processors in his company was as high as 50%.
With concentrated user feedback and no way to cover up, Intel finally had to admit that there were stability issues with its products and issued a so-called preliminary investigation report, attributing the problem to the motherboard manufacturer setting too high a voltage. However, it was immediately refuted by the motherboard manufacturer, who stated that the motherboards it produced were developed according to the data provided by Intel for BIOS programs, and the cause of the crash was not the motherboard manufacturer. In July 2024, Intel issued a statement to explain the frequent CPU crashes, admitting that due to the incorrect microcode algorithm sending too high a voltage request to the processor, some 13th and 14th generation processors became unstable.
Frequent crashes occurred at the end of 2023, and Intel only identified the problem and provided an update program half a year later, and the mitigation measures given within half a year did not work, which fully reflected that Intel did not actively and honestly face the problems when facing its own product defects, but simply ignored, shirked and procrastinated. Some professionals speculate that the root cause is that Intel has actively sacrificed product stability in order to gain performance improvements and regain competitive advantages. It is also reported that the US law firm "Abington Cole + Ellery" has begun investigating the instability of Intel's 13th and 14th generation processors, and will file a class action lawsuit on behalf of end users.
- Under the guise of remote management, the real purpose is to monitor users
Intel, together with HP and other manufacturers, jointly designed the IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) technical specification, claiming that it is to monitor the physical health characteristics of the server, and technically manages and controls the server through the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) module. The BMC module allows users to remotely manage devices, and can realize functions such as starting the computer, reinstalling the operating system, and mounting ISO images. The module has also been exposed to high-risk vulnerabilities (such as CVE-2019-11181), resulting in a large number of servers around the world facing great security risks of being attacked and controlled.
In addition, Intel also integrates third-party open source components with serious vulnerabilities in its products. Taking the Intel M10JNPSB server motherboard as an example, this product supports IPMI management and is currently out of after-sales service. The last firmware update package was released on December 13, 2022. Analysis shows that its web server is lighttpd, with version number 1.4.35, which is actually the version of March 12, 2014. At that time, the latest version of lighttpd had been upgraded to 1.4.66. The difference between the two is 9 years, which is surprisingly large. This irresponsible behavior puts the network and data security of the majority of server users at great risk.
- Hidden backdoors endanger network and information security
The autonomous running subsystem ME (Management Engine) developed by Intel has been embedded in almost all Intel CPUs since 2008. It is part of its vigorously promoted AMT (Active Management Technology), allowing system administrators to perform tasks remotely. As long as this function is activated, the computer can be accessed remotely regardless of whether the operating system is installed. Based on the redirection technology of peripherals such as optical drives, floppy drives, and USB, it can achieve the effect of physical contact with the user's computer. Hardware security expert Damien Zammit pointed out that ME is a backdoor that can fully access the memory, bypass the operating system firewall, send and receive network packets without the operating system user's knowledge, and users cannot disable ME. Intel AMT (Active Management Technology) based on ME technology was exposed to have a high-risk vulnerability (CVE-2017-5689) in 2017. Attackers can bypass the authentication mechanism and log in to the system directly to obtain the highest authority by setting the response field in the login parameters to empty.
In August 2017, Russian security experts Mark Ermolov and Maxim Goryachy found a hidden switch suspected to be set by the NSA (National Security Agency) through reverse engineering technology. The switch is located in the HAP bit in the PCHSTERP0 field, but the flag bit is not recorded in the official document. Dramatically, HAP is the full name of High Assurance Platform, which belongs to the NSA-initiated project to build a next-generation security defense system.
If the NSA directly shuts down the ME system by turning on the hidden switch of the HAP bit, and at the same time all other Intel CPUs in the world run the ME system by default, it is equivalent to the NSA being able to build an ideal monitoring environment where only it is protected and everyone else is "naked". This poses a great security threat to the critical information infrastructure of countries around the world, including China. At present, the software and hardware on the ME are closed source, and its security mainly relies on Intel's unilateral commitment, but the facts show that Intel's commitment is pale and unconvincing. Using Intel products poses serious risks to national security.
- It is recommended to initiate a cybersecurity review
According to reports, nearly a quarter of Intel's global annual revenue of more than US$50 billion comes from the Chinese market. In 2021, Intel's CPU accounted for about 77% of the domestic desktop market and about 81% of the notebook market; in 2022, Intel's x86 server market share in China was about 91%. It can be said that Intel has made a lot of money in China, but the company has continued to do things that harm China's interests and threaten China's national security.
Previously, the US government passed the so-called "Chips and Science Act" to unreasonably exclude and suppress China's semiconductor industry. Intel is the biggest beneficiary of this bill. Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger successfully tied Intel to the US government and became the largest partner of the US chip strategy. It not only received $8.5 billion in direct subsidies, but also $11 billion in low-interest loans.
In order to please the US government, Intel actively took a stand to suppress China on the so-called Xinjiang-related issues, requiring its suppliers not to use any labor, purchase products or services from the Xinjiang region. In its financial report, it even listed Taiwan Province on a par with China, the United States, and Singapore, and took the initiative to cut off supply and service to Chinese companies such as Huawei and ZTE. This is a typical "holding the bowl to eat, and putting down the bowl to smash the pot".
It is recommended to initiate a cybersecurity review of Intel's products sold in China to effectively safeguard China's national security and the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese consumers.

We need widespread adoption and innovation in OPEN ARCHITECTURES like RISC-V. Anything else is just citizens and companies being used as pawns to do the dirty work for rivaling nation states that spy on and stifle the liberties of their own citizens.
The US government has most likely hidden a back door in Intel chips and China has most likely hidden a back door into ARM, ESP8266, ESP32, and other chipsets. No one can ever prove this conclusively without violating NDA’s because these are closed architectures.

I keep mine only attached to ad-hoc networks with no outside signal, but there's literally no saying whether it has its own modem
Given the measurable power output, I'd think not, but who's to say what it does when connected to stable power node after X hours.
The CSAC also accused Intel of embedding a backdoor “in almost all” of its CPUs since 2008Hmmm They couldn't be referring to the extensively researched, reverse-engineered, and years-documented Intel Management Engine, could they?
CSAC is only just now coming across this information? Better late than never, I guess.
Edit: Having now finished the article, yes they are.
I don't understand what you mean. I'm suggesting that China could be making a big deal of old news now that they are offering a viable alternative to Intel chips. Possibly to drum up more business globally, or to have an excuse to ban Intel chips domestically.
It could also be to make that threat in the face of increasing trade war escalation from the United States, as a sort of "watch what you're doing" warning.

But yeah even if another fediporn popped up it'd still have the same growing problems lemmy does (with the exception that the murderous "re~~action~~volutionaries" wouldn't be scaring the normal people needed for normal content away from the site, naturally). Frankly at the moment it seems lemmy's the best chance for growth in that regard.
Why not join efforts then?
I think Manyfold could be adapted to be a bit more generic for things like game art or render movie assets sharing as well.
