[05:08] thought it felt too easy, look over and it's using gigabytes of memory to iterate a list. [05:22] * JesseW is reading over https://github.com/LibreSignal/LibreSignal/issues/37 [05:25] I was very struck by (my understanding of) a comment of moxie's about how OWS's goal is to make mass surveillance *technically* infeasible, rather than other possible goals (e.g. making a tool resistant to targeted surveillance, or furthering the development of communication standards). [05:29] And I can see how making a single-source, closed development team product (which however, makes its code available, and encourages verification that it works the way it says it does) and aims to get massive adoption (by satisfying as many of the tastes, habits and preferences of the widest possible user base, even if those opinions have various other bad effects) -- could be a sensible way to achieve the goal (which again, was making mass surveillance [05:31] The point of releasing Signal's code under a FOSS license *wasn't* and *isn't* to participate in the wider FOSS ecosystem -- it was to participate in the far narrower *security verification* community, and using a common FOSS license was merely a convenience. [05:44] *** balrog has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 260 seconds) [05:53] JesseW: my problem with that is twofold; 1) they have presented themselves as "open" in the past, which implies quite a bit more than that, and 2) opening themselves up to the 'security verification community' requires either reproducible builds (which, afaik, they do not have) or the ability to build and install your own version (which, afaik, you can't) [05:53] as you cannot otherwise be certain that the binary you are using is identical to the code you're looking at, functionally [05:53] As I understood, they were actively working towards reproduciable builds? [05:53] "actively working towards" is not enough [05:54] another contradiction is in requiring google play services; this seems contradictory to "making mass surveillance technically infeasible" given that installing that on android requires you to bundle several other applications that could carry out precisely that mass surveillance [05:54] Not enough for confidence, certainly -- but enough to support my theory of what their goals are. [05:56] And regarding previous claims of additional "open"-ness -- moxie makes it clear that his views on what compromises of openness he needs to make to achieve his goal have changed -- that would certainly explain the difference from previous presentations. [05:57] JesseW: I'm sure it does, but that does not take away that it's a bit of a stab in the back towards the very community that has supported his efforts [05:57] I'm not sure they can do reproducible iOS builds even if they wanted to. [05:57] the fact that his reasons for avoiding openness are shaky at best, don't really help with that either [05:57] for example, he gets the concepts of federation vs. open protocols mixed up [05:58] and bases half their policy on that mixup [05:58] I am not at all impressed with OWS'/moxies decisions, *even* in light of the goals you are sketching [05:58] As I (partially) understand, the use of Google Play Services (that doesn't abbreviate well) don't get into the crypto parts, so wouldn't be able to undermine them. Am I wrong about that? [05:59] murk: I'm not clear whether Signal even *works* on iOS or not. Do you know? [05:59] *** balrog has joined #archiveteam-bs [05:59] *** swebb sets mode: +o balrog [05:59] JesseW: yes. the problem with Google Play Services is that you cannot legally ship them on an Android system without also bundling several other Google applications, due to Google's licensing scheme. [05:59] those Google applications - especially given Google's tendency to collect all the data from everybody all the time - are a significant vector for surveillance. [05:59] whether with assistance from Google or not. [06:00] (there are antitrust investigations into the above licensing deal, btw, but that's how it is now) [06:00] it isn't terribly relevant whether Play Services can affect the crypto because it opens up other vectors [06:01] OK, so we agree that the use of GoPlSr can't change whether the code distributed by OWS does or doesn't do what it is claimed to do, right? [06:01] creative abbrevation there :) [06:02] but yeah, that in and of itself sounds correct, as I understand it. [06:02] Rather, the problem is that installing the GoPlSr's makes the *whole device* more vulnerable to survilence than it was otherwise. [06:02] correct [06:02] https://twitter.com/nixcraft/status/741606457620062208 [06:03] JesseW: it works. [06:03] I strongly suspect moxie's view is that, while that it is certainly deplorable, Signal avoiding the use of them isn't going to make much of a dent in how many devices have them installed (and *will* make a dent in how many people use Signal) [06:04] whatsapp using the signal protocol makes a bigger difference. [06:04] murk: ah, interesting -- and why are reproducible builds impossible there? [06:04] JesseW: that's a questionable assertion [06:04] and very geographically dependent [06:05] so that's another bit I'm confused by -- what's the interoperability situation between WhatsApp and Signal? [06:05] tl;dr re: twitter: 7,618 out of approximately 383,000 emails (1.9%) were leaked by let's encrypt [06:05] in Asian countries, for example, it is not *at all* a valid assumption that a mass market device will run Google Play Services [06:05] JesseW: and even if that weren't the case, it ignores the network effect. [06:06] JesseW: actively privacy-conscious people are unable to use Signal to talk to their social circles that might be using it, due to this requirement. [06:06] I also suspect moxie may not be aiming at an Asian userbase (or combating the mass survilence applied to them). [06:06] something that could have easily been resolved by light-weight interoperability processes (eg. automated changelog mailing just before rollout) with the LibreSignal team [06:07] in agreement that LibreSignal bugs are handled first and foremost by the LibreSignal team [06:07] so that OWS never gets to deal with itr [06:07] it* [06:07] but instead, moxie throws gasoline over it and sets it on fire [06:07] the entire assertion that the existence of LibreSignal will cause problems for OWS is just plain false [06:08] Let's switch over to the point you brought up about moxie getting "the concepts of federation vs. open protocols mixed up" [06:08] Can you expand on that? [06:08] JesseW: he wrote an entire rant about how federation is dead because it's too hard to keep implementations in sync [06:08] yes, I read it [06:08] but this is a problem of open protocols, not of federation specifically [06:08] and specifically for federation there are solutions for that. [06:08] how do you federate without an open protocol? [06:09] you don't, that is not what I am arguing. [06:09] I'm arguing that he is pointing at federation as the cause when it isn't. [06:09] ANY kind of open protocol will have these issues. [06:09] that includes federation-less open protocols. [06:09] the fact that he cannot accurately pinpoint the cause of the problem puts the rest of his arguments on shaky ground [06:10] especially since it now demonizes the entire concept of federation in the public perception [06:10] despite it being a decision that he made individually, specifically for Signal, in light of their goals [06:10] OK, but I thought he was arguing against open protocols, and merely pointing out that *because* open protocols can't change fast enough, *therefore* federation is a non-starter, *too* [06:10] that's definitely not how I read it, nor anybody who I've talked to about it [06:10] and the entire concept of federation has taken a good hit [06:11] he has single-handedly fucked up a large part of what open-source communities have worked for over a decade on building up [06:11] Eh, I wouldn't be surprised if I read it in an unusual way, certainly. [06:11] Ha. I hardly think he was alone in that. People (including prominent FOSS people) have done such things before (and likely will again) [06:12] JesseW: I have seen a distinct shift since this article came out. [06:14] ok, so what you meant by him mixing up "the concepts of federation vs. open protocols" was him claiming that *only* federation, rather than open protocols in general, evolve too slowly to compete against single-source products? [06:15] JesseW: correct. [06:15] (aside from that mixup, the entire assertion is also questionable to begin with) [06:15] (given that basically the only baseline is XMPP and XMPP is *extremely* poorly designed) [06:15] ... I need to sleep [06:16] OK, I won't keep you. Thanks for the discussion! [06:16] *** Eloquence has joined #archiveteam-bs [06:16] Hi Erik [06:16] JesseW: perhaps continue later :) I have a bunch more thoughts on the topic and specifically why federated protocols have had trouble so far [06:16] I'd be interested to hear them, yes.
