They don't even need to spin up their own channels, they can just continue to use existing channels and encrypt their messages. I mean, if youre in the business of CSAM surely you don't mind encrypting a zip and emailing it or put

The text editor is hilariously broken. Copy/paste eats formatting for breakfast... Unless it's Word, but only sometimes. But who the fuck is pasting a WORD document into teams?? Don't do that! Seriously, it's outlook lev

Maybe, but teams is really, really, really non-performant. Its actually kind of impressive of dog shit slow it is. To be fair, zoom is somewhat slow too. Not to start up, but joining a meeting is like 5-10 second delay. Lord help you if you

Gmail's magic algorithms are notoriously unreliable. When they work they work, but when they don't, they really don't. And you won't know, because them not working means you won't get any kind of notification they d

This is true, but I've also run into legitimate password fields on different domains. Multiple times. The absolute worst offender is mobile app vs browser. Why does the mobile app use a completely different domain? Who designed this th

A lot of these security measures have trade offs, particularly when we start looking at heuristics or attestation-like controls. These can exclude a lot of common systems and software, including automations. If your heuristic is quite naive

Yeah and dotnet is developed by MS. What matters is it's open source, and that's literally the only reason we're even talking about dotnet right now. Dotnet was on a slow roll to complete obsolence until MS saw the writing on

Um... yes? If you built your app around COM+, you're fucked. I would know, I worked on an application like that. Perpetually stuck in decades long gone. Or NextSTEP. Or DX 9. Or whatever the fuck. That shit sucked when it came out and

Much like parallel programming, distributed systems have a very small window of requirement. Really less than 1% of systems need to be distributed. Are you Google? No? Then you probably don't need it. The rest is just for fun. Or, well

Yeah most enterprise software barely works and is an absolute maintenance nightmare because they're sprawling distrivuted systems. Ask yourself: how does an enterprise with 1000 engineers manage to push a feature out 1000x slower than

The reason this happens is that greedy companies like Google have made apps the de facto way to get anything done. There's 0 reason you should need an app to fucking pay for parking. Why do you then? Because running mostly unsandboxed

Non-profits can make a lot of money, they just have to reinvest said money back into capital, labor, or R&D. Non-profits can absolutely charge a license as well, if they want. You can do that with OSS, too. Just make it GPL and then cha

IME it's the exact opposite. That iOS undo action is more or less theoretical - the apps that support that are some of Apples... And that's it. The android back action is universally supported. Its literally a button, still, to th

Yes and it sucked, and those companies who relied on that largely got conned into it and then saw their tooling slowly decay and their application becomes legacy garbage. Its not just that OS tooling is "free", it's also bett

That's just because oracle are assholes but not that big of assholes. If OpenJDK did not or could not exist, we would all be mega fucked. Luckily alternative Java implementations exist, are performant, and are largely indistinguishable

The two-swipe controls are truly evil and I can't believe it hasn't been fixed yet. The first screen shows you next to nothing if you have no notifications, which I never do. Its a lot of work to get to quick control. The 4 they l

Toasts on large displays are definitely an anti-pattern, they're just too far from where the action that triggered them actually happened. On mobile it's a bit different, because often you don't have the space to put an &quot

Protobufs are better but not best. Still, by far, the easiest thing to use and the safest is actual APIs. Like, in your application. Interfaces and stuff. Obviously if your thing HAS to communicate over the network that's one thing, bu

Computers use up extremely small amounts of electricity. Most people don't actually know this. Your washing machine is a good ~100 computers. A lightbulb? If it's not LED, that's a few computers. For one lightbulb. Of course

Are you going to expand on me being wrong or is "nuh uh!!" all you can offer? The reason I'm smug is that technical people think they're hyper intelligent and cracked the code. Ha! Those silly law makers! Don't they

Almost all of our laws fall into this categorizations. The idea that laws are clear-cut is largely a programmers fantasy. Related: there's a lot of people who think that if you don't technically break the law then you're off

Current desktop frameworks are quite good. KDE/Qt are incredibly mature at this point. GTK still has a decent amount of churn.
