Jesus Christ... So Brazil gets to dictate some sort of hostage/cold-war scenario and you're suggesting that this is a good solution?

[citation needed].. But it’s absolutely homemade by math PhDs (not crypto specialists). And if you search for ‘telegram security’ you’ll find any number of articles pointing out a bunch of weaknesses. It’s also only half open source.

For me it took a loooooong time of mostly failing to get out of bed, but occasionally convincing myself to get up and do something. Like half a decade. Once I get up and start there is almost always plenty of energy and it feels good, but t

Elementary is Ubuntu trying to be OSX. Deepin and tails are Debian. A Tetris is Arch. Void is it’s own thing and xbps was really good when I used it. But since the thing where the one guy with sole control over their resources disappeared,

Endangering people who work for you is waaaaay different to endangering the general public.

So then we focus on fixing corrupt and/or useless regulators, which as a nice bonus of fixing a bunch of other issues too. Deleting accounts and telling people why just disconnects you from those people that still use those services (s

I don’t know how you expect that happen ‘organically’ when nearly nobody outside most of our little bubbles don’t even know that this is a problem. Regulation is pretty much the only way to really stop user data misuse, with the minor probl

Then you just find a random stranger and don’t bother paying for a service which ostensibly exists partly to guarantee some level of trust.

That’s that’s not the point of that paragraph - the advice there is still just as useless for anyone who might actually need It. It would also probably be worse getting those instructions from someone who totally ignores how difficult it is

Except that “uBlock origin” is maintained by the OG developer and “uBlock” (of ublock.org) is a now filthy ripoff owned by some greedy dickhead who OG developer trusted with control over the original repository. So yeah you only need one of

I mean... A quick search would show you that masks can work. But I’ll bite. It’s really precise 3D with a greyscale non-thermal IR image. Could be inaccurate masks? Missing details around the eyes and mouth and other important areas? Do m

The IR camera and the dot projector they use it with are in the near IR range (as in wavelengths near the visible part of the spectrum). It’s mostly only used to get depth data, and it’s near-IR so that you don’t get a bunch of visible dots

Have you used Firefox since Quantum was released? I switched back to Firefox around version 57, and the only 'performance issue' was initially having to re-learn stuff that was muscle memory in Chrome. Once I got up to speed the u

Nobody asked for a +1 button, and I'm pretty sure you don't need 3rd party cookies to make it work anyway. Also pretty sure a company whose bread and butter is pervasive tracking doesn't break a user opt-out method by acciden

So... People shouldn't use drugs that work for them because the bacteria will develop drug resistance to the drugs which are already useless because you can't use them otherwise the bacteria will become resistant?
