No. There are tons of platforms that don't come with FDE by default (e.g. Raspberry Pi).

Like I said, exceptional circumstances can be exceptions to the rules. We can define a separate RoE for dealing with clear terrorists, but most cops will never engage with a terrorist. It doesn't feel like you're trying to make a

Exactly, which is why I'm highly skeptical of someone whose political position is justified by supposedly listening to 911 calls. I listened to the local dispatch until recently when the cops switched to encrypted channels. Fire/E

Maybe you could start by why you think it's inappropriate?

I think your sentence is missing a "because" at the end. Why do you think that deaths are meaningless as an integer here but would be useful as a ratio? Usually I've heard this line by folks who want to minimize the perceptio

Then they can claim an exception to the rule caused by exceptional circumstances. The overwhelming supermajority of police activity doesn't require dealing with terrorists (including active shooters and hostage situations). Maybe SWAT

Where can I find a representative sample of 911 calls?

Can you explain why? You've offered assertions but haven't explained why you feel that way.

Counter-point: I've built a P2P social media application that doesn't use any client-side JS. There are challenges, mostly around composing rich text (how is <textarea/> the best we have?!) but it's entirely possib

Opinion: the 'perfect solution' is to keep up with upstream and avoid backporting. It takes more work, but it reduces the separation between distro and upstream.

How? Usually that would require a layer of virtualization that checks all syscalls to filter out the naughty ones.

FWIW I'm "vegan" and I agree that it's silly. At least for me, the point is that I'll try to make choices that reduce suffering. You can't reduce it to zero, but most animal products can be replaced with a simi

I have transcripts, but I still have to read them. You're right though, it's better than listening to the audio.

FWIW I get lots of spam voicemails, to the point where the 'new voicemail' notification doesn't glass any confidence that a human called me. I can, of course, listen to every voicemail, but that's not much better than ju

Have they complied with the AGPL though? They're required to share and improvements they made in their closed-source version.

Can confirm, after being blocked from the org I can't fork the project via GitHub.

The context is that someone asked for source and the maintainer lied: https://github.com/ovity/octotree/issues/1038#issuecomment-7... 1. That wasn't what was being challenged. The challenge was whether t

Yep, lots of them are still the most recent author according to git-blame too: https://github.com/christianbundy/octotree/issues/1#issuecom...

The problem is that many of the contributions are deeply intertwined with the current codebase, which is a derivative of those contributions. Example: https://github.com/christianbundy/octotree/issues/1#issuec

Fox News literally argued in court that Tucker Carlson is exempt from slander accusations because the show is purely entertainment and no reasonable person would believe that the claims he makes are factual.

Doesn't this completely break down if the device is rooted/jailbroken? Trust is not a cryptographic primitive.
