Honestly, for people who value privacy and security: What exactly is the plan? It seems like we're going from a reasonably acceptable option (GrapheneOS), to nothing.

Aren't there only two rules that all groups follow in the animal kingdom? - don't lie too often - don't kill members of the in group Seems like these would be required for any group to survive, which makes sense why they are

True, but the original sin was using phone numbers as proof of identity. The fundamental problem is average users cannot use passkeys, manage their own crypto keys, or understand that for identity to work, there cannot be an authority based

I'm not trying to disparage the attempt, just thinking of a way to make it's end goal more agnostic and efficient.

Sure, I think it's an awesome effort. Just trying to think of an agnostic approach that's more efficient.

Alternatively, you could make a Nix flake that can generate an immutable microVM image based on Solo5, running a MirageOS unikernel that implements NAT traversal with UDP hole punching and relay fallback. This image can be deployed to Fly.i

I don't get this. If paint is causing the problem, why not just stop painting the caps.

One super annoying issue I've found is that if you enable Smartthings on Samsung TVs, and you try to use your phone app as a remote, they ask for microphone access EVERY TIME I USE THE APP. The options are "Enable" and "

Miracle seems to imply that the outcome is not what one would expect when pricing rise. Demand goes down when prices go up, and alternatives get used more frequently. This is precisely what anyone who understand economics would think. Why i

While your point has value, there's also value in the perspective that people should take more responsibility for the damage inflicted on others under their watch. For example, it is my perspective that too many people stood by idly wh

While it is possible and very cool to do PCI pass-through for GPUs, a huge problem with this approach is that online games have anti-cheat that checks to see if the game is running in a VM. So games without that mostly games that are single

One correction: Change "Build more housing" to "Increase supply of available housing". Those are distinct. There is a LOT of unused housing that sits empty. If you changed the incentives a bit, that housing would not sit

Yes, you can absolutely add a middle man to sort through the spam for you, and that "solves" the problem in the sense that you are trading money for time. It's no different than paying for a personal assistant to collect your

This is a spam problem. Spam problems are easily solved by simply charging for attention. Job postings should pay me to view them, and I should pay job postings to apply to them. The only reason why ghost postings exist is because the margi

As workers become more productive and earn higher wages in a given area, landowners can charge higher rents since workers must live within commuting distance of their jobs and land in desirable locations is inherently limited. The fixed sup

Congratulations to the Matrix team. I look forward to trying out everything this release offers and seeing how I can implement in the organizations I work with.

I'm very confident this just isn't possible. If you want something with 4G/5G, you just cannot get open hardware. Without open hardware this is a moot point. There are a number of projects where you can use RISC-V hardware wi

From a security perspective, this is a good idea. People intuitively trust Google links. URL shorteners hide what you're clicking on. Sometimes even informed people click on links.

I have to disagree. He is a fault. Ultimately, you are the only person who really should care about your own security. When you delegate that responsibility, you are still the one who made that choice.

For an opposing view, look at what happened during the freeze in Austin, Texas for an example of policies that allow for minimal tree pruning. It was a significant issue that caused the city an incredible amount of damage. Electric was shut

I think the issue is that most people don't have co-morbidities and most people aren't old. So when you're told to get the vaccine, and it turns out you're actually worse off due to potential heart complications, it feel
