Not at all true, there are many services I pay for where I am not the product. I also use much OSS software where I am not the product. If you disagree say why.

I'm guessing they won't change the name. It's a similar branding strategy as ikea, with "funny" nordic (specifically swedish, but other brands have done it with norweigan and danish too) names that for some people m

I'd love to have proper webauthN support in linux. It's one of the blockers for me fully switching to webauthn for my own services, since firefox users on linux need to have a FIDO USB key, and for resident credentials you have li

So you are saying that the parts of for example MIT or similar licenses that in clear terms say: "THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES

Didn't mean to be negative, just wanted to ask about some of the interesting edge-cases that I've heard of.

I'm guessing this does not try to handle things like terra nullius (Bir Tawil, Marie Byrd Land, etc.) or where there might not be a "correct" answer over which timezone is in a place (like https://www.972mag.com&#x

So you've managed to unlearn the last decade of security learnings in regards to zero-trust and similar concepts?

Most of them? You trade off a lot of features, but you have the choice and can install/do what you want. Sure, I don't like the reliance on google play services but at least there is more choice.

I strongly disagree. The difference is "I control my phone vs. my phone is controlled by the vendor". Or "My phone is a computing device vs. my phone is vendor-specified use-case tool".

Stationkeeping is not free, satellite monitoring is not free, and any replacement to any component is now a multi-year, at least 1+ million dollar affair (or most likely a complete replacement, since not many satellites have done in-situ re

> The Xenolab Rasp Pi Monitor is a cutting-edge, semi-autonomous biosurveillance module engineered for the precise care and observation of exotic carnivorous flora. This sounds very solarpunk mixed with cyberpunk. I love it.

So can't you disclose it anonymously? I'm pretty sure most people who are savvy enough to find zero-days know how to get an email address anonymously.

How does that even work? By definition the code is "exported" to every country since it is open source. It could be argued that you could ban imports from russia by not allowing them to contribute code, but an export ban is basica

Sure (which is why I included it as an example of an alternative to learning HTML), with a few caveats. The problems with it are that the HTML output is usually very bad, it'll probably not be well parsed by google or others (for SEO,

My general stance is that the fewer things I need to trust the more secure I am. That goes for services, companies, dependencies, programs, etc. Besides that there is also all of the transitive points, like what does apple trust? What does

Well, first of all I think if something is open source it will tend to be more privacy-focused since it will disclose what it tracks. People will either find that acceptable or fork and change. > Does this mean that open source is more i

I'm usually wearing a simple double-williams wrap with a D-battery on top for charge. Keep safe from those 5G's, friend.

A lot of privacy fanatics (myself included) are also open source fanatics. I like to be able to wrap my own tinfoil hat even if it is harder and a bit more uncomfortable.

Could you let us know how you know the technical details? Is there some public info the rest of us haven't been clued into?

Just link the article if you have nothing more to say. If you absolutely insist on posting AI-generated stuff be extremely clear that it is AI-generated instead of hiding that it has been ghostwritten by a LLM.

I don't think most people in the weights-vs-source debate misunderstands this, it's just the the current "open-source" models for the most part do not even meet the bar of source-available, so talking about if the licens

You can also include a hash of the contents in the CSP, which plays well with caching.

Besides that there it's also them choosing to roll their own crypto instead of using established cyphers and protocols.
