Average days to fix: Linux at top, Oracle at the bottom. Why am I not surprised?

Dude, you are completely missing the point. All I am saying is that replacing a simple and well tested system with a complex and barely evaluated system is bad for security. And for the record, ALMOST ALL recent high profile hacks were rela

Zero security in what sense? Is confidentiality of your messages the only thing you care about? Even that you won't get to keep once hit by a WhatsApp vulnerability.

Well, with this move they simply will have to. Thankfully, it's not driven by Google, just "approved" by them. You don't want to use a Google technology for thinga you want to continue to exist 4 years from now.

Yeah, no end-to-end encryption and all that. But how many 0-days have been discovered in MMS? WhatsApp is starting to look like a TLA backdoor in comparison.

For me it was FreeCAD->OpenSCAD->Fusion->back to OpenSCAD. Some tasks are extremely easy in OpenSCAD. Fusion is not that hard either, but it is a commercial tool with a free-ish version where they keep your designs hostage. It does

Until you are in a situation where it doesn't. Anyway, last month the Swedish truck maker Scania tested an electric vehicle in -29C (-20F), making your initial point irrelevant.

Why are you still there, with the job market being what it is now? I mean, you fairly quickly see where this is going to lead. Why stay in a sinking ship?

You realize that many breakthrough technologies have been created at war time, or during a military (or space) race? Besides, it makes sense to not depend on resources controlled by your enemy.

I don't understand why everyone - including the normally thick-skinned and business-minded HN crowd - is buying into this fake protest. Facebook is simply trying to score some small victory out of a bad situation, probably a time exten

Those small businesses could also include digital businesses that FB is more or less killing. For example, Sweden has two digital markets. One was bought by eBay but the other one continued until FB introduced its own market which unlike th

What kind of backward logic is this? If you hate GDPR, just say so. Consider this: if EU did the opposite of what did they here, would G/O Media still find an angle to call it failure? You bet they would

These are internal soc components, for this very reason. Not sure if we are agreeing or not...

Or, and here is a crazy idea, maybe they use a dedicated security chip to improve isolation and achieve better security? Don't know about apple, but the AMD security firmware has been reverse engineered and no backdoors have so far bee

Sweden? That can't be right, we have pretty huge taxes on fossil fuel and the government just increased them.

Thank you for your answers. Reading between the lines, is it correct that at this point you are mainly interested in corporate participants rather than individuals who want to work on this a few hours per week?

I hear you, and as a FOSS maintaineryaelf I agree that it is frustrating to see all complaints but no volunteers. But, many issues in Inkscape are due to bugs introduced by changes that were not properly tested. If you have resources to cha

Can anyone involved in this tell me about their experience with the project, and also and how to get involved? (Yes, from a practical pov. I know there is a "get involved" button. I just can't connect that to technical work)

To avoid the extreme slowdown (and crash after a while) on win10, close the document property tab (!!) Anyway, inkscape has really disappointed me with multiple serious regressions. This + UI issues + layout problems + zoom buttons disappea

Scandinavian here. It's not a political thing, maybe more as a side effect of living in a society that promotes well-thougth actions and good planing and gives you the tools to achieve things. That being said, I consider the the Scandi

While I like this project, freecad is badly in need of a UX overhaul. For example things being split into X workspace that you have to constantly switch between (each with their own toolbar layout) is not a good workflow.

You realize store evaluation is just a PR and is mainly used as a control tool. I mean, how could something like this happen if there was any real security? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/XcodeGhost
