I don't know, I view capitalism mostly as a way to allow people who have money to make more money without providing work or value from people who do work. I feel that intellectual property (which in my language, French, is simply trans

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for DRM-free purchases where most of the money goes to the artists. BitTorrent is a way to handle the fact when there is no such option (and put economic pressure so that options exist)

I feel capitalism here is the problem, not the solution. The solution is file sharing (via BitTorrent & co), which is very much not capitalism.

Who spoke of having a problem with free speech? I just think they are obvious a*holes and don't want to have anything to do with them, and I'm just wondering why people are still tolerating them when they don't really have to

Why do people still have accounts on Twitter and Facebook already? Those reactionary billionaires are clearly offensive to humans and we should collectively tell them to f*ck off

There seem to be some correlation between large population size and higher deployment. Maybe there are too few internet connections to be really worth it.

I have been working on a code base that is now 14 year old for many years (almost since the beginning), and is now well over 1M LoC of typescript (for Nodejs) - we are only 20-30 engineers working on it, rather than the 100-1000 suggested o

Measuring value by what stays the longer is tempting, but sometimes it's just that the mess is such that no one can touch it :)

In France, for very small business with only you in it (and revenue cap), you can create a micro entreprise (aka micro entrepreneur / auto entrepreneur) and it's free.

The mentioned company above (Exacompta) also make some without BPS (they say "sans phenol"). No idea what they use instead, for all I know it could be worse ^^ but I think the made in France is encouraging, we tend to have safer n

It's because they don't trust the OS not to leak the decrypted bytes, but they could thanks to TPM (the OS would have to have a memory memory chunk not readable from admin/root etc). In this scenario the OS is part of the DRM

I don't know, maybe because not everyone has the right GPU with DRM, while the TPM is conveniently mandatory? :)

The TPMs are already provided with boot and OS measurements for secure boot purpose which would allow DRM to confirm you use an approved OS kernel, so I guess the computer is already conspiring. And the conspiracy could be enforced by video

Doesn't the article forgot to mention that TPM allow to do trusted boot and remote attestation ? It sounds like to me that could very well be used to make software DRM more efficient (by making sure you run a DRM friendly OS for exampl

Yes, my point of view is that using a password manager with unique and strong passwords everywhere is bringing most of the benefits you get with TOTP, and then you can have TOTP for compliance with security policy only.

I agree, people don't realize the value of not depending on a single company to do their work. We can see this problem even more with LLM code generators.

Ah yes, they have ARM binaries indeed in the download section. I got trapped by the "minimum requirements": Intel Core 2 or AMD Athlon 64 processor or newer, which made me think it only ran on x86

Is this needed because recent x86-64 processors / hardware are not able to run older 32bits binaries anymore?

Excalidraw is free & open source software though, which IMO makes it deserve more attention
