You should "trust, but verify" and not shoot the messenger. If raising valid concerns that were not addressed by the linked website is FUD for you, so be it. Sourceforge was also a major brand back in the day and nowadays it raise

Thanks, you're correct. The cookie banner script at [1] was blocked and somehow it crashes the whole site. I only see the black background. [1] https://qnx.software/scripts/global/cookie-consent.js

The footer of the website just says "Join the Discord Community - Reddit: r/qnx - Instagram: qnx_devrel - Powered by Ghost". There is no imprint and the "about" link also does not give any info.

Their main website is a black page. No idea if someone bought the brand or if it is the original people behind this 40 year old project. Both the wikipedia and the website only mention "canada" in passing but no information is giv

Marketing looks nice, but why do they make it so hard to build trust? If it's a software focused on developers it's really important to establish trust. The page on https://devblog.qnx.com/about/ does not sho

Facebook has a track record of abusing security vulnerabilities to snoop up information about other apps installed on your phone. It might be as simple as Instagram reading leftover temp files created by the TikTok app.

So where is your book? You gotta spill the beans.

In the book "careless people" it is highlighted that Facebook embedded spyware in their app which tracked other apps that were installed/used on the phone. This allowed them to figure out that so many of their users were inst

That's called "intervention spiral" where you need to put even more regulations on top of existing regulations because market forces are always leaking through. They should fix the underlying reason which is too restrictive z

A "vacant storefront tax" would easily be circumvented by a legal entity with a vending machine business or the "owner" themselves putting one of their "offices" there (a table).

If you read "Careless People" you'll notice that Andreesseen was prioritizing cash over morals for a long time, and his Facebook investment/involvement was also producing highly unethical things

Also regarding "comparison of suicide numbers", in many religious regions suicide is a problem for your soul and therefore a problem for your still-living relatives. So there is a huge incentive for religious societies to let a fa

Thanks for elaborating. Is there an extension to the protocol so it frequency hops once jammed?

Yes, the trust and content moderation needs to be a central part for the social network to be successful. The P2P aspect is a technical detail but in order to invest into yet another thing, it needs to have certain attractiveness. Why are H

Such a bad comparison. The correct picture would be 10.000 people from St. Petersburg whose main job it is to drive through my street with a local number plate a million times per day, just to demonstrate to me that there is so much traffic

I feel projects like nostr ignore inherent human requirements for social networks. This is a striking quote from their landing page: "Nostr doesn't subscribe to political ideals of "free speech" — it simply recognizes th

Not really convinced by your argument. If you want to achieve your scenario you just take a sysadmin from the Tesla shanghai plant and next time they go to the US HQ they gain access to a coworkers laptop and deploy an OTA update to the tes

Inhowfar were you able to harden such a legacy protocol against state-actor attacks on critical infrastructure? Is it a legacy protocol in the sense of simple & robust or spoofable & floodable? Edit: To clarify, if the frequency is

All of the things you mention are interdependent, as resource and service management is the core of it all. I'm convinced that they set out to design somethign that has a scope which is as small as possible, but then noticed that inter

I'm vocal critic of microsoft but systemd/wayland was one of the best things to happen to linux. If you can improve upon it, then feel free to implement a better solution.

The problem with dbus is also that all these nice browser extensions that integrate websites with gnome/kde talk over dbus. These dbus APIs had several DOS vulnerabilities, some of which could be triggered by visiting any website. It i

Cloudflare deploys stuff on Fridays, and it directly affected shopify, one of their major ecommerce customers. Until they fix their internal processes all writeups should be seen as purely marketing material.

Thanks for your support. I also find these dark patterns unacceptable and even as a technical person one needs forums to figure out why it only shows the 26.2 update very prominently and not the relevant one. x
