There was a guy, Snowden or something, who got some first party reports. They stated that no magical quantum crypto breaking happened at global scale, keys were simply stolen, or backdoors were used to access clear text on sender or receive

This sounds like a job for named pipes. You get the temporary file, but nothing is actually written to disk. Or maybe unnamed pipes, if bash command redirection is suitable for creating the list of options. Looking back, it's unfortuna

You don't really need a critic to see that it has spread everywhere. People not just adore, they demand to be given a three paragraph summary and a moral of the story for everything, no matter which era, which genre, or how much magnif

It certainly looks like it is compiled by a neural net or human that has no idea how people they talk about actually live. Places of actual discussion of censorship circumvention tools are full of much different talk on how to fool the exte

Even 20 years ago the so-called “geeks” were reacting to those news with “We can fix that!”, and indeed were making the tools. They were often primitive, but modern ones are based on those developments and collected knowledge. Today's

All of you have joined an argument that is completely fictional. I am amazed that someone can still fall for “Apple is a hardware company” bait. Both Google and Apple control enormous number of devices, the data on them (or data collected b

Sure, that has been done since the late '90s release of the source code, both by converting visible objects to triangles to be drawn by the accelerator (glDoom, DoomGL), or by transplanting game data and mechanics code into an existing

Those discussions are a bit misleading. Original Doom updates its state only 35 times a second, and ports that need to remain compatible must follow that (though interpolation and prediction tricks are possible for visual smoothing of the m

Google and Apple are owning their whole operating systems. They can do tracking directly in 50 different ways. Other corporations routinely renegotiate deals on sharing the user surveillance data with them, for big big money. So it all has

For starters, there was little to be shared between unique programs in space industry and products for general public, they belonged to different universes even when being made by the same factories. In fact, it was quite common to point to

There seems to be a misunderstanding. Yggdrasil is not a single network, it's a tool to make such networks. So if you have some computers with some ability to connect them, you can set them to peer in Yggdrasil, and instantly get an au

No, those people (or sometimes groups of people) go to great lengths to camouflage themselves, especially after repeated bans. This is not the case of “all accounts registered to the same e-mail” or “10 different posts from the same IP addr

Mods of any decently sized forum can point to very special users participating in intense sockpuppetry, flamewars, getting back after being banned 20 times, and so on. It's not specific to 4chan.
