   Both S/MIME (encrypted email) and OMEMO (signal style encrypted IM for XMPP with keys generated and verified client side) have been around for quite a while. That your organization doesn't have one of these is a complete failure o

   I've worked on things like this before, sometimes it's more because someone at the top demanded that the app get built that way and everyone building it knows it's a terrible idea but aren't empowered to make fundamental

   I don't know about your parents but mine signed me up for Facebook when I was a preteen (thankfully I never used it and stuck to forums/IRC/wikis that all used psuedonyms.)

   So you're really trusting Cloudflare and not Mozilla but no one using the MUA is really told that. Why bother encrypting anything at this point of the connections are going to be terminated somewhere in the network anyway?

   That's obviously completely untrue. It doesn't matter anyway, end to end cryptography is meaningless if someone you don't trust owns one of the ends (and in this case, Apple owns both.)

   From what I've heard Facebook is one of the better places to go to groom children. Better would be educating people: don't use your real name or upload pictures of yourself to the internet, be very careful talking to strangers. Do

    I completed my move to the Pinephone and formatted my iPhone over this. I'm probably not alone.

    There's a difference a mile wide between moderating a service and moderating people's personal computers. Maybe the same thing that makes this hard to understand about iOS will be what finally kills these absolutely wretched mobil

    This pushed me over the edge to get the last remaining thing I use my iPhone for working on my Pinephone: maps. Marble (from KDE) is really good and even has offline routing support. I think I'll buy a GPS unit just in case (I was pl

    I'm really worried about everyone. Somehow I've missed this until now and I've felt sick all day since hearing about it.

    1) Not all countries recognize the public domain and will assume no one gets a license (France does this I think.) 2) I'm not entirely sure why you're against copyleft. There's no legitimate reason not to distribute source co

    Higher supply would mean lower prices. By definition affordability issues and supply issues are the same barring some kind of regulatory capture or abuse of credit.

    Everyone says not to write your own game engine but if you don't know another one it takes about the same amount of time to learn how to use it IMO. The main justification is when you're working in a team everyone can use the same

    I can't imagine not talking to my parents. My dad is definitely wiser than I am so I always go to him for advice. I also consider both of them very good friends. Then there's the whole culture thing. US culture is extremely divers

    There's no reason computers should mean you can't repair your car, I repair my computers. That's just a shitty bait and switch marketing trick like the idea that ARM computers cant run FOSS just because of the architecture.
