It's not developed by Mozilla anymore though. It's a community project now. So yes, is is abandoned by mozilla.

I mean, doxxing Gamb wasn't really necessary, he was always very paranoid about being doxxed, and users of the site know what happened to cha0s when he was doxxed. So i understand that they want to think a bit about how to handle this

1. Yes but that doesn't answer the standalone question. 2. I do trust Mozilla to have the technical expertise to build a secure password manager. But just because they can do it, still doesn't answer why they're doing it the

This site doesn't answer the question 'why'. Keepass usage seems pretty widespread. Okay Keepass doesn't integrate too well into browsers. But then why not just fix Keepass? There have been way too many products pushed o

Yes, it means "crunchy thingy" basically. The name doesn't have any relation to the project. It's small pieces of fish fried in a dough mantle. I was jokingly complaining about the spelling because the previous names &qu

Unacceptable. Even though swiss-german doesn't have any spelling rules, I hereby declare a public vote to deport google from switzerland, because it's clearly spelled "Chnuschperli" in proper swiss-german. Edit: Sorry, I

Yup, things were different 10 years ago and Ubuntu really made a lot of things easier. Back then getting 3D acceleration to work was a real nightmare (for a linux newbie like me) at the time. Or WiFi drivers. Or getting your system to play

I'm not sure why you were downvoted. That title is pretty much the definition of clickbait.

I completely agree with you in general, even in Switzerland we're not safe[0]. You just picked a really shitty example, and in europe we're in general a bit more pro government than in the US. [0] https://en.m.wikipedia

Why not? In my friend circle only one guy has a facebook account, he created it to talk to a girl he met and i don't think he uses it anymore or even deleted it. Not sure why that's so unbelievable.

Ahh, PCI, the thing that tells you (told you?) you need to use AES and nothing more, so people use ECB. Great security theatre indeed.

While I mostly agree with this, I don't agree here. Maybe you need to connect your notebook to a projector and they hand you a thunderbolt to hdmi cable. They don't phsically own your device and yet you're possibly fucked.

They should probably hire some people from microsoft's xbox department, or sony's playstation department. A lot of money has gone into locking this hardware down, and I think for the xbox 360, which was released in 2005(!) there
