Real competition only works in the fairy tale of the free market, where users have all the time and money they want to make a selection and do the transition. It's not the reality. People use MS products because they have to, not becau

Sending an encrypted message to someone is a problem solved for decades: get their public key, encrypt your message, send it. The real problem with encrypted communications is: how do you properly distribute public keys, make sure they rece

Most houses are owned by people who do not work for it. It's the rent from their other houses that give them even more money, effectively doing nothing. Let's not think those people deserve our praise for their parasitism.

How can that be worse than "there are millions of unoccupied places, most housing belongs to the same people who don't need it, and yet there are millions living in the street" It's not just about you

When people rent the place you own, do you not charge them ?

It's not so much that nobody cares, it's mostly that nobody has real agency over their os. Replacing it with linux still involves a lot of steps that make it impossible at scale

I had to make it through 3/4 of the article before realizing that "Copilot+" is not, in fact, Copilot, or an enhanced version of it, but a line of computers. The marketing department also has some work to do.

I'm still waiting for the revival of Google Wave. But I don't think we were simply naive: as we grew up we understood the social and political aspects of it all that weren't taught massively, unlike Google's niceness. We

It's "own your condo" vs "rent a condo" safe. You aren't safe from standard stuff going out, but you are safe from your landlord evicting you.

Ok, that's a good thing. I'm more interested in arguments than in "it's just for testing", because the latter doesn't indicate what's the problem (and what prod-ready solutions solve)

I think the message is not clear. Mobifree is not a software stack, or a consortium, or that kind of thing. TFA and the official site make a poor job at explaining what it is. Mobifree is a grant from the EU to any open source maker. This m

I might be lucky enough to have online banking work with sms and a pre-shared secret. My bank (also in the EU) didn't tell me I could do it automatically, they only mentioned it when I told them I lost my phone (it was true) and that I

You said you're in the EU right ? SEPA works. The only moment I need to confirm identity with my bank is when I buy frivolities, not for my bills.

Yes but talking about not solving the underlying problem, just putting it all behind a third-party that is known to have issues , which is not just malevolence because it's bound to happen at its size, is the point: you want to solve t

When so many replies say "just use cloudflare" I disagree: it means our way of resolving this problem is to rely on machinery that costs millions if not tens of millions to build. That's like saying it's ok to build citi

I think it's generally a poor idea to require spending multiple hundreds of dollars to have your website on something you control.

I don't like this approach: it means that instead of fixing the problem, we just put the problem under the rug and let a third-party centralize always more of our communications, giving them absurd power over our infrastructure. That&#
