Fair, I missed the word inevitable in their prediction. I do personally believe it to be an inevitability, hence my investing my free time, energy and money into being a part of shaping that future. Ultimately any prediction in technology i

I think you meant to reply in thread to me since I was the only commenter that said “inevitable” before your post. That being said, I said this was the inevitable state of full decentralization, not that full decentralization was an inevita

I don’t doubt this at all, but I suspect it will extend to all aspects of software, including the OS — it is the inevitable state of full decentralization. However, I expect also that the usage of software in being metered will also be coun

This seems advantageous for straight male users, but how would you draw straight female users who benefit from having multiple options on other apps? Asking as a female user of other dating apps.

I don’t think there’d be significant objection to the notion of transgender folks being recognized as transgender if it weren’t for the fact that trans people experience significant amounts of discrimination explicitly associated with that

This doesn’t sound like it preserves privacy at all — hashes of interest will still be catalogued and monitored.

C# isn’t what it used to be — it’s astoundingly good even for high performance code.

But prison for children. I say this as a woman — I am currently the sole income earner, and will swap roles with my spouse when it is time to have kids. Kids need a lot of attention, it’s a real job, and having a parent home is essential.

PAKE isn’t about preventing compromise at the serving of the front end. That’s still the responsibility of the server maintainer. PAKE is about reducing damage potential. The responsibility of keeping your servers secure applies regardless

Wouldn’t it be risky to perform TCMS in a region unknown in impacts of TCMS?

Ok, but hypothesizing a future where a social media platform is not holding a legal or property presence in Australia, I fail to see how they can enforce it without censorship. And a future in which that platform is fully decentralized and

Most people aren’t wearing N95s, and to my understanding, no jurisdiction has a mask policy that requires them.

Right, but that’s kind of the irony — the collection of atrocities that stain the tapestry of America’s history are readily accessible, actively acknowledged on repeat on social media (ad infinitum at times, even), and (mostly, depending on

Please cite a source where discussing American historical atrocities on social media gets you whisked away by the secret police.

That’s not the point. OP tried to draw a comparison that private enterprises in the US do the same thing — they do not. The false equivalence ends at the point where the CCP actively controls what these companies do in terms of enforcement,

There’s a huge difference between a private company banning someone from their platform and a government that has a secret police which takes you away at night to a labor camp because you didn’t simp for the People’s party.

Right, I guess what I was more critical of wasn’t a hash confirmation of associated data — it’s more the trivial bypass of this when the key is compromised in the first place. Theoretically, a user doesn’t export their key, or if they do, i

It can effectively be the same. Consider ECDH as key agreement, passed into a KDF such as a hashing algorithm, potentially with additional input, then using that value as the private key — the security assumptions then become the Square Com

The names don’t change one has a subvariety: the falsehood that last names might change, but first names don’t. Transitioning showed me firsthand how many common products make changing specifically the first name impossible.

The question that follows would be: how do you know what was intended to be less performant versus optimized on-demand? The intentions can be easily inferred when the query at hand was a simple join, and to no surprise, many cloud database

That infamous case was the result of poor password use followed by an unguarded login page with no retry limit. This isn’t meant to victim blame, but it’s to also point out Apple too was a victim on this, they have a far stronger commitment

The way I understand it is that the spirit of Free Software is _user_ freedom - they are free to use the software in any way they wish without restrictions. SSPL meets this bar no differently than any other license with provisions requiring

I’m not really buying the notion that SSPL isn’t open source, and the more I read the discourse around free software and the intentions thereof (_user_ freedom), I fail to see how it doesn’t count. I know a lot of folks love to quip that th

This is why messaging apps need to be decentralized and built on top of protocols that cannot be censored or meaningfully monitored.
