As a long time Linux enthusiast and engineer this needs to be said and it's been overlooked for way too long. We need to figure out how to move past some of the traditional UNIX ways of doing things like apps keeping plaintext password

I was curious and looked that up because your post sounds strikingly similar to corporate marketing material. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but it seems Comma couldn't find a buyer and just open-sourced the product. And Geohot s

But that doesn't address code licensing. GitHub is attempting to dance the around licensing issue by reframing the argument as a pure copyright issue. There's is no such thing as 'fair use' when it comes to licensed code

I'm just going to collectively answer this current thread in this comment. You all may want to Google that. And maybe avoid investing altogether. Just some friendly advice because how does everyone not know this? It's been plaster

Wall St. is just a game of smoke and mirrors and all it takes is one crisis to expose this. They're not anticipating a crisis, they're not prepared for one. The system isn't built for long term stability, it's built to m

To Microsoft, by my reckoning, DR DOS was an imitator of MS-DOS. In assessing Microsoft’s reaction to DR DOS, I must think what would be own reaction if I had designed and implemented something, and someone copied my design into a distinct

But throughout this journey, we’ve discovered that it is one thing to build a search engine, and an entirely different thing to convince regular users of the need to switch to a better choice. I really get tired of companies blaming these

No. They couldn't if they wanted to. There is no legal or constitutional basis for a state to secede. How would that even work? It's not like they can force people to leave the US and strip them of their citizenship. Are they just

Honestly I think it's gotten to the point we need to start asking these hard questions about Mozilla. And yes Mozilla's c-suite pays themselves far above what they deserve and far above industry norms for an alleged open-source pr

It seems VICE like many media outlets in the age of social media couldn't decide whether to just shovel clickbait for easy profit or become a real news organization. It's actual news coverage was pretty good but you had to wade th

It should be required for vendors to unlock the bootloader on hardware devices that have reached EOL. Think of how much e-waste we could reduce if we were able to repurpose hardware we already own instead of it just going into a landfill

Yup. Tumblr banned adult content after Verizon bought it. Turned out that's what most people were using Tumblr for. Pretty much killed it overnight.

I don't think it's so much Hollywood stopped making feel-good comedies, Hollywood stopped making good movies. Major studio movies have become overly profit driven to the point everything is derivative, formulaic and repetitive, mi

I was basing that on what I've read so far about WebAuthn. How does Chrome handle key management? For example this is what the Wikipedia article says: On the client side, support for WebAuthn can be implemented in a variety of ways. T
