Et voilà, ce connard de Google marque la *totalité* des applications sur le magasin alternatif IzzyOnDroid (similaire à F-Droid) comme malveillantes.
C'est censé être du "Safe browsing" pour vous protéger, mais Google vous ment. Ils censurent ainsi la concurrence.

France is rolling out Visio, a homegrown secure videoconferencing platform, to all government employees by 2027.

The move aims to replace American tools like Teams, Zoom and Webex that currently fragment public administration communications and create security vulnerabilities.

The platform already has 40,000 regular users and is being deployed to 200,000 agents. Major institutions like CNRS are switching over this quarter, with CNRS replacing Zoom for its 34,000 staff and 120,000 affiliated researchers by late March.

Visio runs on French sovereign cloud infrastructure certified by ANSSI, uses AI transcription technology from French startup Pyannote, and will add real-time subtitling from French AI lab Kyutai by summer 2026. Beyond security and digital sovereignty, the switch generates real savings of about 1 million euros per year for every 100,000 users leaving paid license solutions.

Minister David Amiel frames this as essential to protecting sensitive government data and scientific exchanges from exposure to non-European actors while supporting French tech companies.

New, from me: Who Operates the Badbox 2.0 Botnet?

The cybercriminals in control of Kimwolf -- a disruptive botnet that has infected more than 2 million devices -- recently shared a screenshot indicating they'd compromised the control panel for Badbox 2.0, a vast China-based botnet powered by malicious software that comes pre-installed on many Android TV streaming boxes. Both the FBI and Google say they are hunting for the people behind Badbox 2.0, and thanks to bragging by the Kimwolf botmasters we may now have a much clearer idea about that.

krebsonsecurity.com/2026/01/wh

A web-based control panel, allegedly for the Badbox 2.0 botnet, at the ip address 45.134.212.95. This users panel lists seven authorized users, all but one of which have email addresses ending in the chinese email service qq.com. Two of the users on this list map directly to domains tied to the Badbox 2.0 botnet.

If you're in the US and you want to reduce the risk the vendor will fuck you over on behalf of the government without looking suspicious? Much as it pains me to say it, Apple's track record in refusing to assist the FBI in the San Bernardino case is a strong signal there

@mjg59Matthew Garrett This only holds true if you blindly trust & the security level of their software.

Their policies may change any time as we've seen in many cases of big corps already.

Their ability to provide secure software is mostly a myth from old times. They pushed extremely embarrassing security bugs multiple times which not only means that their testing processes are insufficient.

karl-voit.at/cloud/ has a few of their failures with respect to & .

Having absolute trust in a shareholders obliged company, you may face massive backfire some day.

If you are *really* looking for maximum level of protection, there's nothing better as a 8 or higher (also from 2nd hand market) with flashed (it's very easy via web browser + USB cable and a 2nd device) and a self-chosen level of integration.

You may go without any Google service at all or you can opt in for a sandboxed version of them.

“ met 38 times with MEPs from the ECR, the Patriots and the Europe of Sovereign Nations Group.

has also not shied away from meeting far-right MEPs. A few days after the launch of the digital omnibus, the Head of Public Affairs of Google France joined a dinner party in Strasbourg hosted by six French MEPs from the far right Rassemblement National.”

Developing a new Web browser is by now an endevour comparable to the Apollo missions - and probably even more complex.

There are 1191 W3C specifications and recommendations out there right now (actually a bit less than the time when that article was written in 2020).

That’s about ~110M words.

Put togeter the C11, C++17, UEFI, USB 3.2, and POSIX specifications, all 9580 published RFCs, and the combined word counts of the 10 longest novels, and you still won’t reach that many words.

Even building a fully POSIX-compliant operating system is by now 1-2 orders of magnitude less demanding than building a fully W3C-compliant #browser.

I guess that’s probably why both #Google and #Mozilla feel free of enshittifying as much as they like and get away with it.

The reckless, infinite scope of web browsers

So, if you don't want Calibre to have an LLM, I believe your point of no return is version 8.11. :NoAI: Luckily, since Debian Stable is reasonable, the repository still has 8.5.

The thing I would recommend is if you use Calibre regularly and do not want any "ai" garbage, mark your version now in APT and hope that the @grimthorpeLisa St.John 's Clbre fork project continues to advance (I have hope) so that it will make a newer version of Calibre without LLM's easy to install.

For the time being, my Debian (and Debian based distro) friends, you can mark the current version to be safe.

Just run:

sudo apt-mark hold calibre

And to check that it worked, run:

apt-mark showhold

A snippet of a screenshot showing text in a terminal. It reads: "sudo apt-mark hold calibre calibre set on hold. apt-mark showhold"
