It's unlikely that "they" can break TLS protected traffic at scale, however, it's likely that they don't need to. Usually, TLS is terminated on a load balancer and then the data in the data-centre flows in clear tex

It mostly goes to Mullvad though (which is great company) and to developing the client.

nope, this doesn't go to development, only to their community and outreach programs. Mozilla Foundation != Mozilla Corporation

I used to give money to Mozilla Foundation, I stopped when I realised it actually wasn't going to Firefox development, which is done by Mozilla Corporation. I even reached out to their support, and no, there is no way to support FF but

On top of everything you're saying, all the press about how close we are to achieving usable nuclear fusion is a huge distraction from the real problems we are facing. Energy production is but a tiny problem to solve to keep our planet

Yes, again, I'm talking about PCs here, where it's usually implemented in shaders.

The usefulness of hardware acceleration for video decoding is highly debatable. 1) It's not always much more energy efficient, but it sometimes is, but less than you'd think, GPUs need power too 2) It increases greatly the complex

For me what you write reads like "we need to focus on treating the symptoms rather than the cause of our problems." Are we so attached to always having more and more? mostly to the benefit of a handful of super wealthy? While our

Not only that but the West must also regress, that is correct. That is pretty much obvious once you have accepted that current growth is unsustainable and has been for a long time. But we can (and probably will) keep pretending, that's

What a great distraction from the real problems! If we had that free limitless renewable energy, and we used it as we do now to fuel "growth" building malls and car parks, extracting ores from the crust, and produce pesticides, th

Doing load balancing at the client level if you can for example is not something that's going to significantly increase power usage but it has the opportunity to reduce infrastructure cost at the expense of complexity. That's the

As with everything in software architecture: everything is a compromise. At large scale, and for application running on end-user devices, I try to keep as much as possible complexity in the software because you don't pay for its execut

darktable does very close to zero file management, or library management, they are purposefully staying away from this. Also, they don't want to be seen as a clone as feature parity is not their goal. Basically it just happen that the

Despite wayland allowing a much tighter security model, the implementation is left to compositors. Here mutter developers have decided just to not care and hide behind the fact that it can be mitigated with flatpak. Of course, not everybody

yes, the exodus of young people is a big issue. also, communications are very limited and wireless / mobile broadband is excruciatingly slow.

Benefits play a large part, and many of the costs for logistics (such as bringing in materials by helicopter) are subsidised. As far as industry goes, there is none. Activities are limited to tourism and hospitality (it's a famous dest

Pardon me if it's a stupid question, but a backdoor to what? I don't really understand what it's about. In my mind a backdoor is hidden feature built into another _useful_ piece of software. Is this "just a backdoor&quot

Also, with many trillion dollars of money printed recently vs 0 CNY, it is very likely that the value of the USD will slide significantly compared to RMB. It is not that far-fetched to think that in a not so distant future China consider th
