Translations in languages other than English are machine translated and are not yet accurate. No errors have been fixed yet as of March 21st 2021. Please report translation errors here. Make sure to backup your correction with sources and guide me, as I don't know languages other than English well (I plan on getting a translator eventually) please cite wiktionary and other sources in your report. Failing to do so will result in a rejection of the correction being published.

Note: due to limitations with GitHub's interpretation of markdown (and pretty much every other web-based interpretation of markdown) clicking these links will redirect you to a separate file on a separate page that isn't the intended page. You will be redirected to the .github folder of this project, where the README translations are hosted.

Translations are currently done with Bing translate and DeepL. Support for Google Translate translations is coming to a close due to privacy concerns.

MalNotch

The malicious notch software, adds NSFW/NSFL designs to the portions where you can't see that can get videos/images taken down online. Software activism piece on the problem with hardware notches.

---

About

See above. MalNotch is the dangerous variant of the @seanpm2001 Notchware series, where the area of the screen covered by a notch is replaced by patterns that will get you in trouble/banned/arrested (depending on what country you use this in) if you post it on social media without reviewing it. You typically can't see it if you have a notch on your computer until you record it and zoom in. It is a form of malware meant to protest hardware notches.

History

This project was thought of for a week prior to its creation as a private repository on 2022 June 23rd. I chose to go with both a safe and a malicious variant

I play both sides so I always come out on top

This project started as a private repository, and received minimal development until 2022 June 27th, where it received improved documentation, a new README.md file, a list of textures, and a list of notched devices (along with where to place the media on the screen, a selection of various devices with notches, and more)

Software status

All of my works are free some restrictions. DRM (Digital Restrictions Management) is not present in any of my works.

This sticker is supported by the Free Software Foundation. I never intend to include DRM in my works.

I am using the abbreviation "Digital Restrictions Management" instead of the more known "Digital Rights Management" as the common way of addressing it is false, there are no rights with DRM. The spelling "Digital Restrictions Management" is more accurate, and is supported by Richard M. Stallman (RMS) and the Free Software Foundation (FSF)

This section is used to raise awareness for the problems with DRM, and also to protest it. DRM is defective by design and is a major threat to all computer users and software freedom.
