I've always believed it is Nick Szabo.

Of course we are. Just not good at marketing, nor willing to take big leaps of faith.

We often speak broadly like this, just like you speak about how Russia and China (everyone living there, apparently) are bad. It doesn't mean we're saying that every single person in that country is to blame. I say that the USA is

Thanks, USA. Globalization was only good as long as they thought they could come out on top and make everyone else dependent and obedient. We should have continued to strive for globalization, and left the USA behind to implode into its own

Not sure if it's related or just Apple's data-greed and malice, but on a previous iPhone, iMessage and FaceTime would turn on by itself every time the phone was restarted, again 24 hrs later, and one final time 48 hrs after that.

Do these mythical hackers actually exist, though? North Korea has been demonized for so long that you can accuse them of anything, and everyone will believe it without question. A game that the USA in particular plays often and well, not on

Surprised that he got a longer sentence than Holmes. She really must have made him out like the devil during interrogation and trial. No doubt the nasty old US American racism factored into it, too.

"E2EE" is probably more like it. I have no doubts there will be a data, picture, movie or some-such leak eventually that proves that the encryption keys were in the hands of Apple all along.

Considering what the US has done to countries it has declared enemies in both recent and distant past, I imagine they are already hard at work to make this happen, with no consideration for anyone or anything other than how it benefits thei

I remember several of these featuring inside and on the covers of programming books for the 8-bit home computers of the 80's.

The article states that the US even denies it and interfers when the local government wants to investigate. Absolutely despicable, well on form for the US.

"This allows laptops to perform small house-keeping tasks while they're asleep" - or to be remotely logged on to and operated, without your knowing. A computer system that is on and connected the internet while you thought

You cannot be serious. Why would Russia blow up their own pipeline instead of just saying "no"? Did you even listen to the US in the weeks leading up to the invasion of Ukraine? They were agitating more about Nord Stream and their

What a boon for the US conglomerates this would be.

While the US is urging a ban on TikTok, I'm curious why the world at whole is not waking up and banning US-owned and operated social media - obviously it's an even bigger risk.

These types of systems are interesting, but I wonder if there's any use case where you would prefer them over the one you're browsing from. FriendOS is arguably also the most advanced and complete of these systems: https:/&

I'm literally waiting for the day Apple attempts to take a cut on people's income via their banking app.

First, it's NY, the dirtiest city in the world and planet earth's own asshole. Second, if the city hasn't realized they need to introduce containerized and properly sealed garbage collection city-wide by now, they never will.

Stick around. The world and things in general will get better.

Stay the heck away from these small-time CAs. In particular if they are based in North America or have any ties to the US Goverment.

With iStuff and generally Apple things, I keep getting the feeling that I don't actually own and control the device, I rent it, and it is Apple who ultimately controls it.

Sorry, I can't recall in detail.

I've had problems with exFAT on macOS where both files and disks become corrupt. I can't nail the problem down exactly, but it appears to me that if you delete files [using the macOS FS drivers] then it may also overwrite other, r

I'm not sure about the way-over-the-top name of the product, but it does look useful. Also, how much data is collected, and can people trust pasting in sensitive stuff there?

I love stuff like this. People sticking it to the man after being victims of abusive business tactics for years, if not decades.

Drop in the ocean. I recall reading an article several years ago on how they publically announced job openings at a US Airforce base for _1000_ people, and they made it clear that the job was to maintain and operate multiple online accounts

It always amazes me that all types of nutrition are folded into the single "calorie" in these discussions.

Good. The sooner this data-siphon is cut off from the EU the better.
