I find it interesting that the BBC published this at a time they are already under heavy criticism for their coverage of the war in the Middle East (where they didn’t blink at Trump’s genocidal threats and published an article claiming that

Interestingly, I think 3 or 4 out of the 5 bugs would have been prevented / mitigated quite well using https://github.com/anthraxx/linux-hardened patches... (disabled io_uring, would have crashed the kernel on UAF

A lot of AI generated horseshit.

Yes, if you count the Drax power plant as renewable, sure. If you add to that deindustrialization and buying everything from abroad and not caring where that energy comes from, it’s super easy.

yes, I do mean Firefox specifically. Mozilla fundation is not Mozilla corporation. The money you give to the fundation is for their charity work, none of that goes to the development of Firefox.

We have no idea what is in that contract with Google. They get to be the default search engine, but what else? Does it prevent Firefox from accepting some sources of funding, like donations? It would be great to get transparency on this…

They lost me at Vista lol In all honesty, it was easy for me to switch to Linux because I was always more interested in the computer itself rather than what useful things I could do with it, so I actually never missed a particular applicati

Facebook would start listening on port X and and then their embedded SDK in other websites or app would query that IP and port, get their unique id, and track users much better. Sounds farfetched? https://www.theregister.com&#x2F

They have an absolute monopoly on a very niche market in developed countries. 5G beats satellite in both speed and convenience IMHO. It's a completely different story in countries with crappy networks (looking at you Philippines), remo

As mentioned in the article, every bug is potentially a security problem to someone . If you know that something is a security issue to your organization , you definitely don't want to paint a target on your back by reporting the b

You can’t fix censorship with tech. The only solution is booting the facists out.

I still can’t give them money, so what’s the point? Just like with Mozilla, they rely on sponsors and you are the product.

ProtonVPN clearly marks these “virtual locations” in their UIs as “smart routing”, so there really isn’t any deception here https://protonvpn.com/support/how-smart-routing-works

So what? Of course it’s stupid and it’s never going to work. The same is true for Carbon Capture and Storage, blue hydrogen, etc. It’s nonsense from the start, but it didn’t stop governments around the world to spend billions on it. It work

OpenAI created this problem all by themselves. If the intention for private chats is that they should be private, then they should be e2e encrypted.

This is just corporate greed! I live in a EU country in an apartment and 5GHz is completely crowded and pretty much unusable because of DFS (making your WiFi AP unexpectedly stop to do a complete scan and choose a new channel), so 6GHz is t

While I truly admire how much progress they’ve made, and respect that everyone should pursue whatever they feel like doing with their time, it still feels to me like such a waste that it’s not written in a modern memory safe language. I fea

Yes, but they would be immune from a legal point of view, they would still have to use the same backdoored software.

I really don’t think this has anything to do with pressure from the 10% of the public that can afford to care about this. Politicians, and more importantly influential people, also rely on the same tech as we do and they have infinitely mor

I don't think its dumb from a business point of view. You've got to make promises to the editors that the platform is going to drive the sales up, not down. Is it hostile to customers, absolutely.

This is an excellent starting point, I have just tried it on "The Origins of Totalitarianism" by Hannah Arendt, and maybe it's because of the numerous bibliographical references, or the the occasional diacritics, but the end

Fairly usual stuff, I can relate to that! I was born in France, I then had my last name changed to add my mother’s maiden name to my last name, and I can legally use either, my French id shows my name and my “usage name”. Fast forward a few

I’m in favour of also avoiding misleading names for meat products. Beef -> cow, pork -> pig, steak -> muscle. Otherwise it’s too easy to mislead children (and adults) to think they’re not consuming something coming from a killed an

Also we definitely trust that the Brits just gave up, right? They had nothing in exchange, no guarantees to be able to access the data in other ways… Also, the tweet is only about protecting American people. I personally still don’t feel ve
