That's why you need a server. e2ee does not help with any of that.

I'd prefer to guarantee they don't lose access, despite their key management practices.

You do want to have things encrypted in transit and at rest. e2ee means server admins (I) cannot access the user's (mine) photos.

The Ente self-hosting proposition seems strange. Why would I want to e2e encrypt my photos that I self-host? Sounds like it will only make life more difficult.

“Child friendly output” is not a solution. It is the problem . I trust my 9-yo to avoid porn or violence; I don’t trust him to be able to resist the hours of inane content on YouTube Kids &c. Using AI to facilitate access to more of th

TIOBE can be, ahem, unreliable. On the other hand — defence budgets are increasing all over the world.

Nix cache does provide old versions. What they seem to want is old versions built with new versions of dependencies. That's also possible, but you will have to build things.

It also didn't have working fsync, and corrupted SQLite databases. I think that's more important.

Zero economic profit for the marginal producer; i.e. investors could as well work for hire and buy an ETF. In the long run. My point on regulation shifting capital allocation away from a sector stands, regardless of detail.

My impression is that people are motivated by solving problems and filling gaps in the existing landscape. Popularity is not a goal, usually. Why would it be?

> assuming their goal is to get more people to use their software. That’s rare, and is a very difficult motivation to understand. Such projects are also usually a mess.

In perfectly competitive markets noone makes a profit. As a result, capital is only allocated to imperfect markets, defined through various inefficiences: barriers to entry (monopolistic practices), information asymmetries (cheating), … If

This is a very arrogant take. Linux users don’t live in isolation, and are exposed to Win/macOs daily.

Ironic that the text is unreadable on the website (bad font choice, no capitalization), and I had to use an AI summarizer.

Yes, “large distance” implies that many in-between options exist. Folk dances, however, were a whole thing with Stalinists (“culture that is national in form, and socialist in content”), so an outright ban would seem out of character. I wou

There is a large distance between “removed from curriculum” and “banned”. I suspect that it’s not in the current school graduation requirements either. The “cannon hidden in the flowers” quote comes from Schumann, who wasn’t Russian. Chopin

And the de facto Russian national anthem at the time was a polonaise.

The article’s title is “Once banned by communists, Poland’s stately 18th century dance garners UNESCO honors”. Imperial Russia also never banned the polonaise, obviously.

Can someone give a source for communists banning polonaise? It sounds implausible, and googling did not produce a satisfying result.

Seems like an interesting feature. It’s not easy to see how this is immediately useful; people in this comments section are complaining that this is not a feature they’d pay for, but it looks like something that becomes seriously useful onl
