Actually, yes. Because it’s just data. It might change system behaviors in annoying ways when programs read that data, but it’s just data.
Executing curl | sudo bash because docker said so, or some flavor of the week python packages manager says so, or because you want to run tailscale and your distro doesn’t have a package…any of those scenarios relies much much much much much more on trust and is a major security flaw in how applications are distributed on Linux.
Sounds like what NAFTA did until some Cheetos gummed up the works.
You seem like you aren’t a super nice person.
No I think he clearly said he’s disappointed by the low quality content.
The original, while disgusting, was not low quality content.
How…do you think chat systems with storage are supposed to work? They store data. In a database
What specific fields are shared by matrix but not xmpp?
Wowww that’s bad design
Why do you claim simplex has the “most secure” crypto? Why is it more secure than the standard double ratchet everyone else uses?
Yep, the number is still required as a bs “are you human” check, but signal doesn’t stop you from using gvoice or other voip services like twilio.
Element X is pretty easy to use. I honestly don’t know why anyone listens to tech illiterate people about security and you have to be tech illiterate to think setting up element is hard.
They could just be older than 30, it’s predominantly considered a slur by the young.
Who is this clown “jwz” and why does his opinion matter?
you’re absolutely insane I don’t want to talk to you
So you are defending advertisers against users by calling it a choice? You think tracking is a net good that any informed person would opt in to?
You’re defending immoral practices by saying it’s the law.
To be clear: you agree with France that advertisers should have free reign to track you because some app developers are small businesses?
If you didn’t read the article and are just being a little jingo right now, that’s what you’re defending. A fine that says you can’t protect users privacy if it interferes with small businesses, but also we have no specific requests for how you should change the tool.
It’s probably fine as long as it’s nonporous and has a flared base.
I sincerely hope you are at least in your early 50s 😶
Why stop there? Go back to the breakdown in feudal times! Which duke do you owe fealty to?
How do you expect to get tracking results if USPS isn’t actually doing tracking?
It seems bizarre to me you think that. Europe clearly has fascitis in the same way most of the world does – trump may even help pull you back from that by being such a flaming turd. But it’s not irrational to wonder about what level of control a new financial system might be able to exert.
I don’t see anything in the first post indicating they think come November you’ll have social currency systems, just a healthy level of skepticism about the new thing.
