How does merging have the same problem? By definition, merging only requires you to resolve the conflicts once, at the point of the merge commit.

YES. I've been saying that for years. The fact that it doesn't work this way is really pretty braindead.

So if we package up AI into an autonomous loop, so that it can file for a patent unprompted, that is sufficient precondition to allow patents to be assigned to such a loop?

A bit off topic, but when did "compute" become a noun? It is extremely grating to my ears.

Well definitely, but as a net benefit, we'll have less proprietary Matrix code than before. Or the people needing to use Synapse in a proprietary setting can contact Element for a proprietary licence, in which case Element will be able

If this is truly frightening, you should reduce your reliance on Google since too much of your life is tied with them.

The user should not write down a PIN then, or at least not write it down somewhere easily reachable by someone malicious. Attempting to hide data from the device owner is a non-solution to this problem and does nothing but frustrate and dim

Let's not pretend to be daft. The user can prove ownership by providing a PIN. They can also delete their data before transferring ownership to a new owner. (Not to touch at all upon the fact that selling devices is really uncommon to

It absolutely matters how often it happens. Otherwise we should start imprisoning everyone in the hopes of getting that one serial killer by the same principle. Some cures are worse than the disease.

It most certainly doesn't have to be intentionally insecure but it almost definitely is accidentally so. There should be no OS nor network stack running in the firmware, period.

I think this is a silly framing, to be honest. Of course they're allowed to earn money, but they surely aren't entitled to that money.

How does this follow exactly? It sounds like a non sequitur.

I'm not saying it's good, I'm just saying it is to be expected.

Don't buy a new Toyota. Make it widely known why you're not buying it. Remove the modem and publish instructions on how to do so. Start or join an initiative to legally punish this. Literally anything is better than sitting and so

How will this happen if we don't accept it?

Well yes -- it's not words, it's tokens, which are smaller than words.

Federation is the only viable choice unless you want to submit to a central power. If you want strong safety, you shouldn't be broadcasting publicly into the aether.
