What point are you making by saying "they're just like the average Joe" followed immediately by saying they have so much more money that they can outbid the average Joe at any price point. If someone can dump 100x the money t

I find it incredibly funny that the comment shown (to me) right above this one is: > This is one of the most lucid pieces of writing capturing the current state of play I’ve read. Who is the author?

The web client definitely lacks features, but I fail to see how this is a client feature? You can share your screen and have your camera on at the same time. It's the recording server that decides how to composite those together.

I really don't get why redhat decided to kill SPICE. It was the only thing that got using a VM on open source virtualization (e.g. proxmox) close to the experience of using one on vmware. VNC is truly the worst remote desktop protocol

I'm not sure what you mean... In OrganicMaps/CoMaps I click "edit place" > "Business hours" and get a nice vidual editor with checkboxes for each day it's open and boxes to put in times. Same in OsmAnd,

The only time I "needed" a credit card is when I tried to sign up for some US company's service. It rejected my debit card because it wanted credit, so I just took my business elsewhere. Other than that, I've rented cars

These vulnerabilities only get fixed because they're used by public rooting tools. If blackhat hackers found them instead, kept quiet about them and used them carefully, they'd never be fixed.

Compared to every person owning their own car, but now it has a bunch of extra sensors and a cloud subscription? And the city still needs to build and maintain the roads. Or a bunch of robotaxis, which reduce the up-front cost and amount of

Well yes, SNI will be removed, when ESNI reaches far enough adoption. That's my point! ESNI does what SNI does, but securely. You fix an insecure implementation by replacing it with a secure implementation, not removing the feature com

I generally like it, but am I seeing right that the new event window is now a modal dialog? Why?? Composing a message is a normal that you can manage with your window manager and have multiple instances of - why not the even too? The use-ca

New versions of encryption suites don't remove core functionality. This is like TLS removing SNI because it leaks information. It does, but the solution is ESNI, not removing SNI all together. It's not "please stop looking at

Removing capabilities is not progress towards better security. Putting them behind opt-in permissions, making permissions more granular, more robust... those are security upgrades. Removing capabilities is a feature downgrade.

Your browser does prevent random extensions from reading web page data - it prevents all of the ones you don't install! More seriously: if you don't want X to do Y, the solution is to not give X the permission Y. The platform over

Compared to any normal hosting provider, you'd be paying 50 €/year for what Oracle is handing over for free. Plus you don't need to use the absolute trainwreck that is the OCI web console. "Cloud" providers are not

Given the nature of the problems with OM, this makes sense. The dispute is about governance and money, which is something that only the people involved in development will deeply care about. It makes sense they're the main people talki
