This is pretty similar to the Brave browser model, except that Brave sells your browser history instead of asking you about your information.

how would that work edit: you seem to be implying that FB is stupid and likes writing kernel code for no good reason.

actually, from what I hear, this was the standard for Unix enterprise software distribution between 20 and 40 years ago. this was in large part due to the wide variation between Unixes meaning that one would otherwise have to ship several d

poor, because 1. fork exists, and 2. the application incurring OOM is statistically unlikely to be the one that should be killed on multi-application servers, and 3. 99.9% of applications do not correctly handle malloc returning NULL in 100

conveniently, almost nobody uses NaCl as-is due to its more or less never having been patched, and nobody uses TweetNaCl, so there is de facto one implementation.

Either ignore them (Ubuntu) or they just don't. For many years Debian and Fedora didn't have MP3 decoder installed by default.

actually it would be much less bad if it was. Gentoo GPG verification still doesn't work quite right, but most users of the kernel for critical purposes do GPG verification.

LineageOS has had this function since CyanogenMod.

even compared to MuPDF? PDF.js is well known to be very slow, and even poppler is pretty slow compared to MuPDF.

it's because you load a huge 2.4 MB JS file, and your web server is configured terribly so gzip is off so it really is 2.4 MB.

I highly doubt there are any devices that are capable of accessing the modern web, with all its JavaScript bloat, yet cannot decode a simple audio codec. Even when Apple was installing AAC hardware decoders, they were already almost obsolet

Ironically, despite complaining about the misuse of the word "complicit", you yourself misappropriate the word "theft". When someone watches a movie illegally they found via Google, the copyright owner is not forever pre

This is a safe, if slow, alternative for strncpy, but it does not safely replace strncat. The C standard does not define the behavior if the code "sprintf(buf, "%s some further text", buf);" is used.

In addition to tlb's point, the article's description of strncat is not correct. > As with strcat(), the resulting string in dest is always null-terminated. > Therefore, the size of dest must be at least strlen(dest)+n+1.

everyone is complaining about the accounting here, but I just want to say that 100 FONT WEIGHT AT #666 ON WHITE IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE CONTRAST RATIO FOR BODY TEXT, especially if you do not provide your own font. even on a 1920x1080 IPS displ

if you find yourself automagically pthread_joining, something is probably terribly terribly wrong. similarly, if you commonly need to release a mutex far away from where you acquired it, something is probably also terribly wrong.

you can , and it is still a valuable contribution to the Tor network, since it adds cover traffic. the catch is just that the website you're using will know who you are. I hope that the vast majority of users will understand that if t

sounds really useful, but to be fair, it doesn't really remove either. you're effectively just using the Tor network as freely available (but slow) signalling and TURN servers.

There are in fact some vague ideas floating around about using QUIC as a transport protocol for Tor. However, there is so much work to do and so few people that have the necessary skills (solid cryptography -- not at a "build the next
