It doesn’t exist without other resources either. What I’m trying to say is, “companies are people” is not true - decisions made by companies are not the decisions it’s employees would normally make if they were not selected - or forced by

Individuals are just company’s resource, like hardware, or IP. They are not the company itself.

Isn’t pledge(2) trivially easy to escape anymore? This used to be one of the differences compared to eg capsicum(2).

Daily reminder that Chrome (and Chromium) is not unlike other Google projects: users are its cattle, not its clients. It’s naive to assume good intentions here.

It's also the only scenario that guarantees long-term stability. Also, it's not like we've hadn't been through this twenty years ago already, and the result was quite good.

I suppose it might look pointless if you need to jump through the hoops to get it running. In FreeBSD ZFS is properly integrated, and ZFS is a perfectly fine default root filesystem; there's no reason not to use it, except eg very mem

Note that, thanks to capsicum(4), this vulnerability is not very exploitable.

Being able to get around doesn't matter - what matters is whether it's inconvenient enough to make the propaganda business unprofitable.

FWIW, Coinbase Wallet hasn’t been very useful simply because it’s owned by Coinbase, and thus cannot be trusted.

“Sink a carrier” is, in terms of how hard it is, somewhere around “bomb White House”. It’s absurdly hard to do even for a well-equipped nation state. Also, a huge problem with modern Russian hardware is that it’s largely vaporware. That’s

Western countries don't have so much hardware, but they have much better hardware. Simply put, if NATO entered the war, Russian air force and land bases would get eradicated from safe distance, thanks to aviation and missiles Ukraine

Note that in FreeBSD, ping is sandboxed using capsicum, so the impact of this is rather low - you can get ping to crash, and send arbitrary packets, and write arbitrary stuff to the terminal, and I think that's it.

Interesting story, especially the part where the Canadian scientist got assassinated by (probably) Israel.

Note that this is about the _second_ witch trial, a civil case between two members of a weird pseudoscientific cult. Also, regarding the first trials, the really inappropriate thing would be some Christian stall, as it would glorify the per

There are two fundamental differences. One is that Russian invasion and genocide is happening now, not couple of decades ago. Second is that the fact we can’t punish US doesn’t mean we shouldn’t punish other offenders.

Not “millions”, as FTX barely had a million customers. And most of the money belonged to entities like Sequoia Capital and SoftBank and not actual people. Also, given it was a crypto exchange, ie a ponzi scheme by design, I’m not sure if t

The problem with operators is not only that they often delayed fixing critical bugs for no good reason; they also liked to add maliceware. I remember a Nokia phone with one key dedicated to trick users into starting it by accident, which o
