All you need is for the two instances of the app to use separate sets of key pairs, where the keys have been generated on the device itself and the private keys never leave the devices, to share the private key for the conversation between

What I mean is that new phones which have a headphone jack are the exception rather than the norm, and their number seems to be diminishing. Maybe if people voted with their wallets it would stop the development in this direction, but it se

People will get it or they won’t, the HN crowd is probably a fairly small demographic compared to who Apple is trying to gear this towards: people who want an affordable, new iPhone. For my part (SE user of 2 years, and before that a 5s use

The response of governments around the world doesn’t look like it’s been informed by Austrian economics, and in places which have implemented some kind of policy derived from MMT (esp. Australia) things have been looking pretty good. What w

You can't tell me that $5 a month for a VPS is more expensive than the administrative overhead of self-hosting in your own house. The average person on this website probably earns that in less than 10 minutes. On the other hand, it&#x2

I really want to know what other languages large enterprises are using that have, or are on the track to getting, the kind of volume Java has. Especially languages that don't run on the JVM.

Likewise. It hasn't been that long since I finished my undergrad (<5 years), and if I remember correctly, we didn't start using Eclipse until second year, and even then it was considered 'optional', i.e. as long as yo

Serious question: unless some company is keen on getting commercial support for Java from Oracle and using Oracle’s tooling (in which case, you do you, good luck and Godspeed), what is the difference between using Java with an open source i

Ill keep my SE until Apple stops supporting it (which I believe it’s supposed to once iOS 14 comes out), and at that point this new device looks like the natural progression unless I can find a modern iPhone which is cheaper. I like the siz

Time Machine is one of the best features of macOS in my opinion. Apparently your mileage may vary, but I’ve never restored a backup to a new computer with such ease as I did when I swapped a MacBook Air for a MacBook Pro last year. I’ll be

You may be absolutely correct and it would still be legal slavery. This is also generally not labour for the community in the general sense - there is an entity drawing a profit from prison labour (the state if it’s a publicly owned prison,

This is legal slave labour.

There’s ‘normally’ and ‘normally’. There might not be as much English-language content, but the Internet exists outside of FAANG.

Not that it makes it okay for Apple to allow this, but it goes without saying that any app that does this, paid or unpaid, is getting immediately uninstalled.

There’s a recent WIRED article [0] where this is discussed in some depth. I wasn’t a Facebook user at the time, but it’s interesting how everyone was against this and then ... wasn’t. Facebook called their users’ bluff and won. This really

I’ve never been a SeaMonkey user but I’ve always been impressed that it’s still being developed and used, it’s really cool in a time when we’re moving to a new age of browser engine monoculture.

In that case the best option might be to use the bank’s mobile website is it exists. In any case, the point is that this is a problem with the application, not the network, and a more trustworthy network doesn’t resolve the issue.

If you’re worried about Google knowing, you shouldn’t use Google’s browser. While they might not mark searches like that, we don’t know what Chrome does when we tell it to search for something we’re sensitive about.

I think one of the interesting use cases for IPFS is having a distributed build store for tools like Nix and Guix. It sounds to me like almost the perfect case for it: an immutable datastore of hashes of reproducible builds is well suited t

A few +40C days in high summer (late Jan/early Feb) are not that unusual, but days of consistent +40C days in mid-December should be sending alarm bells ringing. This is the new `normal', but wasn't like this before a few yea

That shouldn’t be necessary though, better regulation of a limited resource is preferable to no regulation.

The embryo of this idea is in Software Heritage [0]. It's a great project, well worth supporting. Of course this doesn't include the requirement to store and maintain hardware, and even though we can store well-written documents d

If you’re not saying that Cloudflare has done anything wrong or illegal, then I don’t get the point of what you’re saying. What are you trying to say?

by kdtsh 7y ago
There's nothing in the GPL about compensation or saying thanks. This is part and parcel of licensing your software in a way that respects user freedom. Also, I doubt Cloudflare forked WG, because 1) that could very well violate the ter

It’s very debatable that that’s what the ‘civil’ means. Frankly, the term is ambiguous, and really that ambiguity seems to be intentional - it can mean many different things to many different people. I haven’t read Letter From An Alabama Ja

Civil disobedience doesn’t necessarily require rolling over when a power you’re standing against assets itself. He can maintain his legal innocence and moral standing if he wants to. I’m sure he is fully aware that his actions have put his
