Won't your device holding the passkey still take passcodes to unlock itself?

> trying their best to do a job they care about I would not take that as a given for Mozilla's upper management. Many of their decisions seem to ignore what users want in deference to Google or other motivations.

How does Opera have 3-4x the market share of Firefox? Is it installed by default anywhere?

by Ridj48dhsnsh 3y ago
As an alternative, you can get a stable release with about:config by installing Firefox (or Mull) from F-Droid.

Not being indexed by search engines is a fatal flaw in my opinion. There might be some interesting discussions taking place on Mastodon, but I would have no way of knowing.

Have you tried deleting your profile and starting fresh? Something is clearly messed up. Launching takes a fraction of a second for me on NixOS with a years-old profile.

Have you ever visited Vietnam? The people I've met there are highly motivated to build successful businesses, even more so than in many western countries.

Racism definitely is based on race, hence the name. Maybe you're referring to some other kind of out-group bias based on tribal or familial status?

Because perceived race is a big factor in how most people treat strangers, so having that information would likely be useful in identifying unfair bias in enforcement.

I think it'd be impossible to anonymize data in such a way that it's still useful but not easily identifiable with public or partial private information.

Quoting from the article's update: > I got a Nitrokey3 to use as a hardware token, and ended up not being able to access my country's e-gov facilities, because L1 certification required. What will likely happen is that many ser

I could not disagree more strongly. Giving large corporations (and governments effectively) the power to control my access to 3rd party resources is totally unacceptable.

That's a depressing viewpoint. The text chat version of Omegle could have easily been hosted on a single server with some kind of automated spam protection. Donations could have more than covered the costs to run it. The positive val

It is possible (and likely quite common) for a layman to only have partial knowledge of how SARs work.

One could argue that cryptocurrencies solve these issues (while creating some of their own).

Are things like Operation Chokepoint [1] still a conspiracy theory? It appears to me like a sophisticated and coordinated operation, not the accidental result of bureaucracy. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operatio

Is it by accident though? Aren't US regulators intentionally (but quietly) pressuring financial institutions to do the enforcement of policies that they know wouldn't stand up to public scrutiny?

Why are you so stuck on whether the utility is "lawful"? Is the law really your barometer of what is valuable and just?

The answer depends on how your specific state defines tax residency (for example California is notoriously difficult to escape). Generally the rules will be something like you remain a tax resident of your old state, regardless of how long

> take a close look at Strike. Could you clarify what you find interesting about it? I skimmed their website and looks like just a lightning wallet. Am I missing some key feature that helps one interact with fiat systems?

This depends highly on the country. Cash doesn't work so great in most of the EU anymore. In Spain and Greece for example, it's illegal to buy anything with more than 500 euro cash I believe.

What exactly did they tell you? I've been doing it for the last 7 years without any problems.

It's not that simple. There are a lot more details, but at a minimum you will still need to pay US taxes to the extent that the foreign government taxes at a lower rate. You'll also often still need to pay state income taxes.

You mean when the ICOs started? Wasn't that just a cash grab? Everyone threw some buzz words in a white paper and made a pretty landing page hoping to take advantage of the hype. I don't understand what you mean by "waste&qu

There is little to no lawful utility. The value of crypto has always been in its ability to take the power to control the financial freedom of individuals away from government and put it back in the hands of people. Whether you agree that i

> whoever orchestrated this whole thing holds them on a tight leash What makes you think there is coordination rather than natural incentives that drive individuals to act in similar ways?

Yeah.. I remember hearing from some other big HFT firms who wouldn't touch FTX (yet were active on other crypto exchanges). They didn't elaborate on why, but we had our own concerns about their preferential treatment of Alameda&

Is diversity of thought and culture not a good thing? Sure it could make politics more polarized, but hopefully that will result in greater diversity of governments under which one can choose to live. Anything that gets us away from a mono
