I'm using Fennec F-Droid and can confirm this bug also affected me, and I really don't know if it can be solved without an update (which is not yet available, as it seems)

I once toyed with the idea of a machine-oriented spoken conlang similar to Lisp in "syntax" by reserving certain syllables for punctuation (brackets, etc.) One of the main problems of existing solutions is that they lack flexibili

I don't really care about Fitbit collecting all that data. If you don't want yours to be used, just buy another tracker from the tons out there. Privacy is all about choice, so it's not as bad as i.e. Google using your search

It seems to me it would require to hook the window procedures of all processes, which is an ugly hack at best.

That's the way to go I guess. But secure boot has obvious advantages in comparison. As a rule of thumb I do not trust any client-side "authentication" or passphrase input as long as there's no crypto involved. In legacy

And so can anyone with physical access to the device. I know there's no way to fully prevent evil maid attacks, but Secure Boot helps in that no one can simply plug e.g. a Linux Live USB and wipe my disks in less than 3 minutes

In most Secure Boot-enabled PCs you can manage keys and certificates on the firmware KEK/DB variables by using utilities such as KeyTool, so that you can safely boot any EFI-compliant OS with a custom certificate. I'm not sure how

Wouldn't that be great? If you think about it, it's surprising how GitHub's potential as a platform has been solely used for code up until now, taking into account that pretty much anything that can be represented as text ma

Is anyone working on this? I don't even use Slack but could be interesting to reverse engineer the protocol and all and implement at least an API library or something for Windows

But I think this is only a problem from a UX standpoint. IRC has DCC, for instance, but it's a matter of building a client which e.g. inlines DCC "attachments" or displays images beneath messages with links. If IRC is truly &

I read the Wikipedia entry and I immediately thought of Sibyl. It's horrifying and quite sad knowing that many people predicted this long ago and we did nothing but rejoice for the literary excellence of their works (e.g. 1984)

I can imagine some sort of "proxy instance" which takes Twitter data and presents it in an ActivityPub-compatible format. However I'm not sure Twitter provides an API for reading that much data at scale (rate limits). But in
