I love that series. There is also Portrait Artist of the Year with the same presenters.

Agreed. My attempt at a quibble was foolish.

Signal Corp is doing just fine. Those donations would have a much bigger effect for the people developing Matrix and associated applications.

Another reason why those arguing against centralized messaging systems as opposed to de-centralized, federated were correct. Who wants Signal and their US-centric board to decide they can do anything. If Signal were really sticking it to t

No. Signal is not the solution. The position that they are taking publicly in this dispute with the UK vassal state is correct on the face of it. But they now have some people on their board that raise red flags for anyone interested in p

In some ways the faithful seeking the grail of "encryption" which will protect them from the Evil mirrors the belief of earlier generations that a Constitution is enough on its own. Nothing is meaningful without the physical and s

With the recent board changes in Signal (Katherine Maher and other people highly associated with the government of the USA) it is reasonable to assume that it compromised in some way. The UK probably recognizes this and wants to make it a

Corporations are legally recognized to have personhood in the USA. They are also legal entities. Anyway is a "person" not also a legal entity in some way? In short, I understand what you are saying but I don't think it is pr

There is no provable claim by GCHQ for any of this. They are professionally liars and deceivers. The first public, peer-reviewed publishers are the ones that get the credit. GCHQ claims are just unproven British government propaganda fro

Don't impute motives to strangers on the internet. I have no frustration. I am requesting a statement from someone that has been very outspoken on many issues around secure, safe, private communication in the past and is in a better p

Let`s be truly fair: the USA "federal government" is historically and presently one of the biggest committers of war crimes in the world. If you work for it you work for evil. I am sure it keeps the kids in Montessori and enab

Moxie the anarchist owes the rest of us a public statement about what he thinks Signal is now that the board has US State Department ghouls on it.

Katherine Maher? The US State Department definitely-not-a-spook one? The one that was at Wikipedia and "spent time in Syria and Lybia"? Sounds wonderful for a messaging system that is going to be definitely trusted not to be man

It strikes me that the effort that goes into trying to outright suppress disinformation is also a waste of time. It leaks through anyway and the consequences of being seen to suppress it leads to distrust. All that you can hope is that the

A formal ban on editors being members/volunteers/associated-with state-related propaganda outfits like the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) would be good. It wouldn't stop anything underhanded, but at least they would n

Well Ireland was made to vote twice on ratifying the Lisbon Treaty. The people's vote got it wrong the first time with a "no", but after suitable re-education they got it right the next go around. Luckily there was no need f

I don't care if the US "invaded anyone for territorial expansion" or did it for shits'n'giggles. It has done all the above and more which weakens any chance that calls for democracy, international order, peace, sta

I disagree. The advice to disable SELinux, like your assertion that it's too complicated for ordinary users, belongs to an older time. It's time to lay that myth to bed. Sure, if you're messing around with k8s and doing fun

Are there any Czech speakers that can help out? I have been trying to verify that "Prague Morning" story and cannot find references to it in their list of main newspapers in wikipedia.

Important note on this: "Fortunately, the default security hardenings in most container environments are enough to prevent container escape. Containers running with AppArmor or SELinux are protected. " So, all that hard work on SE

Two things on that: 1) that was somewhat my point: so-called liberal democracies are increasingly censoring and distributing information. Exactly the Orwellian-dystopia many of us fear. 2) If we are talking about the Czech and Slovak exam

This coupled with the jail sentences for "disinformation" are predictable in autocracies like Russia. They desire to shutdown information and steer their subject populations into the path of correct thinking. Very disturbing to s
