I don’t see Danielle trying to compete in women only sports here, so this boils down to throwing a temper tantrum like a toddler and being rude because you (as in Lunduke, not you as a poster Im answering to) think you have a right to deter

The characterisation of systemd in this post really bothers me, particularly this: > 70 binaries just for initialising and logging It’s just not true. Those 70 binaries provide much more functionality than an init system, they can cover

Looks like they forked _a_ Matrix messenger (FluffyChat, which I haven't heard of before and which doesn't seem to be "the" official Matrix messenger, if such a thing exists) and are running a non-federated Synapse serve

That statement definitely needs some numbers to check out, it's a claim that needs backing up. The full nuclear power "pipeline" isn't CO2-neutral either and depends on resources we'll eventually run out of, probabl

I think it would make sense to provide sources with those quotes from March. I’m admittedly not from the US so I had different scientists talking about the pandemic, but around here 70% vaccination was never considered enough.

I think there’s a distinction necessary for institutions and private businesses here. Private businesses implement paper-based cancellations to make it harder for people to cancel, not because they‘re bureaucratic per se.

This, so much. Interviews are very stressful for candidates, everyone should remember what it's like sitting on the other side. I've been doing a bit of technical interviewing and I usually try to help people along so they reach t

I get what you're saying and I think it's a valuable discussion to have (I remain skeptical whether handing off your infrastructure design is a good idea or not; but as someone working in the space I might be biased), but that&#x2

I'm not sure I get your point - Terraform modules[0] are a generic way to encapsulate a set of Terraform resources. What variables you expose to the outside is up to the module developer - You can expose high-level variables like &quot

Please follow up with this, if Mozilla does not understand anything short of the law this might be the only way to make them believe they are actually doing privacy a disservice.

If Google does not respect my privacy, why is the proposed way to gather information based on Google's approach? And if the way Mozilla gathers data is much more considerate, what results can I expect from it? Better parallel requests

by embik 9y ago
My point is not the way you label gathering information from your users but rather that it is about implementing something Google proposed. If the mechanism works, fine, but why should I use Firefox over Chromium then? Opt-out data collecti

by embik 9y ago
This is ridiculous. I use and recommend Firefox for pure ideological reasons, because frankly, Chrome/Chromium is miles ahead of them. If they start opt-out tracking using the same approach as Google I do not see any reason to use it n

You're absolutely right, somehow I connected Chromebooks to "always ARM". My bad.

I'm not sure what they recommend, but the in-place upgrade path for Fedora works really really well.

As far as I know the GPL does not allow trial periods and asking for money later on, but feel free to correct me. That's why elementary cannot do such a thing.

So you don't believe there are blackhats out there? Because somebody has to be breaching online services and it's rather unlikely it's a godly entity doing that. Felonies exist and people still commit them. Should they? God n

I guess the point people (including me) are making is that it should pay off to do the right thing and report a bug that is capable of killing your (core) business. While OP obviously is a honourable person, others might not be and are more

To be fair, this bug is pretty nasty because it allows anyone to get all your stored passwords. That's like the core business of LastPass. LastPass leaking your login credentials for e.g. online banking is really not comparable to dele
