Official statement from @Mer__edith: the new EU chat controls proposal for mass scanning is the same old surveillance with new branding.

Whether you call it a backdoor, a front door, or “upload moderation” it undermines encryption & creates significant vulnerabilities.

@signalapp @Mer__edith Time once again for the reminder of how little code is required to implement end to end encryption over an insecure channel and therefore how easily it is for bad people to evade stupid laws like this that cause immediate harm to everyone else.

@david_chisnall @signalapp @Mer__edith oh, they'll come via the app stores first. Then OS that allow side loading. Then OS that allow unsigned apps. Then compilers.

This. I have an OG Droid with a cross-compiled userland that runs an older gcc. I can not compile large programs though due to lack of ram.

But, useful for testing, especially to learn configure cache settings to use for the cross-compiler.

Cross-compiling is not for the faint of heart because configure will get things wrong very often.
