Well, not quite. The containerization still has advantages. For one you have a solid and predictable baseline system regardless of what distro the user installed. Next you have sandboxing (if properly applied) protecting the user until they

I've brought up issues beside tone because of this. In case those aren't enough; I think the issues brought up aren't issues with flatpak. The first issue is with a GUI application on top of flatpak and the second is a packag

This could be reasonably expressed. Flatpak can sort of do this via portals, you have a filepicker that can see the host system and the picked file is transparently mounted into the app container. For multiple files per document, the soluti

The text-editor case is somewhat solved by portals and could be expanded upon. The texteditor gets no FS access. Instead the call the portal to request the user to pick a folder (for projects) or file with a specific ending (the compatible

Apps simply need a solid CI pipeline so that when dependencies have security patches, the app is automatically rebuilt and pushed out with the patches as soon as possible.

My issues with the post start with the tone. It's not a respectful tone, rather aggressive and always flashes me back to people who write similar blogposts about systemd or something else that is new but not accepted by greybeards yet.

In 2018 they had about 1.1 billion € profit after tax. 35 million € of that isn't quite a small number and that is basically a warning shot to stop. The maximum fine would be 720 million €, which would eat into the years profit quite a

Well, no, if the company doesn't stop and doesn't seem to stop the fines can be high enough to sink a company and I don't doubt that if it comes to it, the agencies involved are ready to sink a company over data protection.

The fine will certainly hurt, it's not exactly a small fine you can just book as part of your coffee budget. But it's not going to sink the company. If they do it again the fine will certainly be higher and sting a lot more. Possi

Betelgeuse, the only star that I know of within the range to produce a supernova dangerous to us, has scientists looking at it closely. Mostly because it's a closeby giant and those are interesting. I think most estimates range between

Unless you know the true ratio, you can't claim that open source projects are better either. Or that one has advantages over the other when it comes to cryptographic security. I'm not GP and I'm not arguing for either side, j

I've been to the US and no matter the place I've been, the tap water is terrible compared to what I get from my own tap at home. Maybe this is different in some very rural and remote mountain regions in the US. While the US has a

Barley isn't used much in my region, historically because while beer initially contained barley, the taxes were expensive so people lobbied for wheat. So nowadays, my region is largely wheat-based beers and barley isn't as common.

In germany, being allowed to call yourself "beer" has quite a few legal requirements. Imported beer is largely exempted on account of EU law if they don't write "brewed according to german purity law" on the bottle,

I don't think it's entirely true in the south either, there is plenty of breweries around here, though granted a lot of them sell their own brew + brew from a distributor to balance their sheets. Many small towns have their own br

There is about 25 local breweries in my area in germany. Half of them predate WW1, some are almost as old or even older than the United State of America. The town I was born in had a "micro brewery" run by monks since around the 1

1K is not absolute zero, 0K is. 420K is 150°C, barely above boiling. In space, your temperature may range from 0.01K to over 2000K depending on solar radiation levels over the spectrum. You're exposed to higher levels of radiation and

SMART tells you what the disk knows. Clicking in HDDs is usually caused by the head not moving fluidly over the platter. When the firmware detects this, it tries to reset the head, usually by parking it for a moment and then unparking it. M

Reentry develops sufficient heat that any complex organic molecules are torn apart by their thermal energy. And the impact is severe enough that it would likely destroy what was left.

As noted in the HN article on that blog post, this is because FB shadowbans articles if they get organic growth for too long until they buy FB ads. This isn't specific to Assange's hearing but simply a reality of blog owners.

Correct yes, I thought that was fairly obvious. Generally if A or B are true, then C and D don't matter but if A or B can't be proven then there is very little formality in this kind of hearing.
