@mrgrumpymonkey depends...

• We've already seen shit that cracked #Windowy8Bing, #Windows10S and #Windows11Home wide open with #Adware that also disables #WindowsDefender.

Next logical step is some #PowerShell script that downloads a #Linux distro image, repartition the system drive, add some unallocated space at the end, put a #CloudInit config in it and then do an #UnattendedInstall of said system with bcd by calling up #bcdedit to #chainload said partition.

• I jist have neither the time nor spoons to do that shit myself, but in theory a #NetInstaller image of ~ 100MB should suffice...

@GossiTheDog @signalapp it merely prevents #Screenshots by claiming it's #DRM'd content.

• It's a mere ask and #Microsoft could specifically close that #API and make it subject to contractual agreements (as they did with their #Antivirus API calls to disable #WindowsDefender!) if they decide this is against their wishes.

• It also doesn't prevent the #Keylogger nor works against the known #CryptoAPI #backdoor affecting all #Browsers (except #Firefox and @torproject / #TorBrowser) which can be triggered by a single #HTTPS request.

The correct solution for #Signal would be to alert all their users and specifically block #Windows in general or at least #Windows11 simply because it is a #Govware and empirically cannot be made private or secure.

But that would require them to actually give a shit, which thed don't, cuz otherwise they would've stopped demanding #PII like a #PhoneNumber and moved out of juristiction of #CloudAct.

• I mean, what's gonna prevent the #Trump-Regime from threatening @Mer__edith et. al. with lifetime in jail for not kicking the #ICC (or anyone else he and his fans dislike) from #Signal's infrastructure?

Since they are highly centralized.they certainly are capable to comply with "#Sanctions" (or whatever bs he'll claim!)...
