Of course there are legitmate use-cases; I enable a few myself. BUT--I also know exactly where to go in my browser settings to edit my preferences, should I ever accidentally click "yes" on a bad prompt that starts blasting me wit

5 Centuries is a long time for a cipher to be un-cracked. One could say it did a better job than modern ciphers!

Everything I have seen and read would seem to indicate that China's Government is drunk on the extra power and control their "Zero-COVID" policy gives them; they don't seem keen on giving that power up. COVID doesn'

That could be said of anything one does with a computer. The point is that if it's stored locally YOU have responsiblity over it, rather than trusting to some other party to hopefully protect it (and not sell it or expose it or what-ha

Old software from yester-decade should always be open-sourced. And the fact that it isn't is a darn shame.

Ok, this is a pretty big deal.

That's a sad commentary on relationships.

Wasn't expecting this release to be 1.0! But I suppose I should've seen it coming.

Based off one of the sponser links I followed, methinks the writer's first language might not be english? Not to deride the site, or any writer.

I relate to this so much. I probably should build a morning routine. There's so much I want to get done.

This reminds me of a meme. > PS5 User: hey can I install a SSH server on my PlayStation? > Sony: NOOOOOO YOU CAN'T DO THAT THAT'S' ILLEGAL WE'LL SUE YOU FOR VIOLATING TOS > Steam Deck User: hey can I install a S

It comes from the idea that certain products are "locked down" to where you cannot do anything else with it but what the manufacturer provisions. Jailbreaking means you gain complete control over the device, so that you can do any

Not to discount the research or its usefulness, but I feel uncomfortable with sterile language that, to me, implies that humans are nothing more than accidental automatons that can eventually be replicated and replaced by AI. Aren't we

Security can be used to create both a safe, and a jail. Remember that. --- I think Microsoft feels threatened at this point about Linux becoming more popular on PCs; what with hardware like the Steam Deck. Can't have Linux dominate the

I really like when he points out his own Standards for Technological Innovation. They are very good points regardless of the current age. Particularly to me, are the points of repairability, and interfering with real-world relationships. Th

This is probably why Linux has been such a large success. For all the submissions, suggestions, filtering by those lower down the chain...at the end of the day it's Linus that says "Yes" or "No". (And/or chews

This comment might come off a little off-topic but I think it's pretty related. The Gnome Project has always struck me of having this Apple-Like attitude of "We know Best", and subsequently ignoring/shrugging off user co
