In my opinion, the takeover happened for three reasons: 1. unclear ownership 2. the only official structure being a for-profit, with over 50% owned by a single person 3. lack of transparency The first two are solved by being a non-profit wi

I don't understand how that's possible. When clicking a matrix.to link, there is a room name and a homeserver hostname, right? How does that homeserver not have complete control over what information about the room is sent to the

You can also run your own IRC server. Risks are the same either way.

To switch from Discord to Slack (or between any two protocols), you need to learn how to use the new app, set-up new integrations, rewrite your bots, and hope you did not depend on a feature Slack is missing.

There is OTR: https://otr.cypherpunks.ca/ but as far as I know there is only one implementation, and it's underdocumented. The protocol itself seems well specified, but it doesn't use "standard" primitiv

I don't know about iOS, but on Firefox Desktop, the right-click menu is emulated by the canvas, and it uses the clipboard API to copy it. > If the text wasn't available, it would also completely break any kind of screen reader

by progval 5y ago
No, I mean they would draw the selection themselves on the canvas. And they would get the event simply because the user clicked on the canvas.

by progval 5y ago
They probably reimplement entirely from scratch by getting the position of the mouse and listening to click events.
681.
by progval 5y ago
That's only for iOS and Android apps. (Desktop?) screen readers do not work at all on gallery.flutter.dev, because they can't detect text in a canvas.

This looks like it's targeted at webapp developers who want to use windows within their app. It does make sense for apps with a lot of modals, like an in-browser Gimp clone for example.

France also has an agency doing this, HADOPI, but it works by joining Bittorrent swarms to collect IP addresses. What they punish is the download itself, ie. the acquisition of a copy. Not copying something you acquired legally. For example
