It's a password manager. It must never, under any circumstances, add any additional barriers to getting in that aren't explicitly configured by the user. This is going to lock out many users. They will not realize this new arbitra

Reminder: Dump your password manager database into cleartext backups regularly. Store them on encrypted media (eg. USB stick with FileVault, VeraCrypt, or similar) Then you will not be totally screwed if your password manager does a rug pul

Trudeau needs to call an election now. His government doesn't have the support to take any action. Him and his Liberals are finished, and it's totally inappropriate for them to negotiate this issue.

I understand these arguments, which is why I'd just kill the accounts if I were Twitter or Facebook or even HN. It's not in Twitter's interest to allow these handles to be property. It's not in the interest of Twitter to

The namespace on Twitter is not property owned by the user. It's just namespace which is owned by Twitter. The use of it is at the sole discretion of Twitter. If Twitter doesn't think that it's appropriate that this group be

You can support people's right to say what they want, while also saying it's against the house rules to impersonate other people. Doesn't seem that unreasonable.

Yeah, I agree. It's not the place of a social media platform to judge. There's no such thing as unbiased, neutral fact checkers. Readers will have to judge the truth of it for themselves. I was trying to say that it shouldn't

I think the censorship of this JD Vance document is positive for the Harris campaign. The actual document is run-of-the-mill opposition research, but when some people unfamiliar with the contents hear about it being censored they will assum

If it's in the public interest, and it's true, then it's news and should be published regardless of who came up with it or their possible motives are for doing so. The PDF link posted by moneycantbuy in this thread appears

Classic. Remember, the BOFH is no longer the "operator" of some systems at a university. Now he's your ISP, your search engine, your social media services, and many other important things you rely on. "Well, the answer

You're right, looks like Apple has a form for it if you public an app in the app store that supports encryption other than what is provided by Apple. I see posts from app developers complaining about it and debating whether to check th

"Import of a cryptology means that does not exclusively perform authentication or integrity control functions without prior declaration." Wow, so me and everyone who has entered France with a laptop or phone in the last 15 years h

No, you miss the point. If HN decided to ban all posts about Donald Trump that is moderation. Users voluntarily submit to this policy by participating in the site, and if they do not, they will be banned. If the State of California required

Those comments were absolutely correct. That PGP failed as a viable solution for securing email communication isn't even debatable. And you're missing the point of the argument. It is a technical argument: The UX of PGP is so bad

It depends on whether the parties to the communication want that or not. So let's say a few child molesters create a chat service and use it to send the worst, most horrible child pornography amongst themselves. Removing it is censorsh

Terrorist recruitment and selling drugs is conduct, and whoever engaging in that illegal conduct can, and should, be prosecuted. The problem I have is with requiring the chat service to police that or making its operators liable for the ill

I use it a lot, and I run some large groups on it. I don't see any of that stuff, I've never gone looking for it, and I'm not even sure how to look for it. Can you tell me some examples of what to search for to see what you&#

No, it's definitely not. Moderation means I can run my group how I want, you can run your group how you want, and others can decide if they want to participate in either of our groups or start their own groups. Censorship is when someo

Telegram is great for large groups. It's better to compare Telegram to Reddit than Signal. Signal is excellent for tiny groups of known participants. I prefer it over anything else for this use case. The group permissions Signal intr

This doesn't make any sense. Either the author of the article is confused, lying, or is drawing conclusions from source material that is untrue. In the US case, there was a phone where data was encrypted at rest. Though Apple was capab

Let's stop repeating this word "moderate" when what we're talking about is censorship. Moderation is what happens here on HN: Admins have some policies to keep the conversation on track, users voluntarily submit to them.

It can do that too, as it supports essentially unlimited accounts.

Funny, Google has just locked me out of my work email. Endless loop of "verify it's you" demanding a phone number, even though I use a security key. Entering a number results in "you have tried too many times, try again

It looks like it enables people who don't understand tech to use natural language to deploy resources on AWS that are billable, so I bet the engineering resources Amazon put into this won't be wasted at all.

I wish all 7-eleven stores worldwide were like the Japanese ones. The stores in Asia generally are okay, like same concept as the Japanese ones, just varying degrees of less good. The stores in the US and Canada are just useless. Terrible.

I won't even look at it until I see many years of track record of excellent support on non-Apple systems.
