Hier, à la #Gendarmerie, je n'ai pas pu m'empêcher de sourire intérieurement en voyant tous·tes ces gendarmes équipé·e·s d'ordiphones.

Celui qui m'a reçu m'a dit ne pas connaître #GrapheneOS ni aucun autre système blindé…

En clair : il est certainement très facile d'accéder à pas mal de données sans trop se fouler.

La mouture d'#Ubuntu (#GendBuntu) qu'ils utilisent est durcie (standard Armée française), certes. Mais cela ne suffit pas si les voitures, les ordiphones, les montres et le reste (dont les imprimantes et photocopieuses) ne le sont pas.

🙏
