Ah yes I am in fact stupid. Sorry about that. My incorrect statement was based on half remembered information. They do try to avoid saying accident though. Here’s a random link I found on the subject: https://www.vox.com/2015/7/20/8995151/crash-not-accident
Signal is too darn secure. Much better to have one dude who probably knows how to use a crypto library build the whole thing over again with a coat of ActivityPub on top
pro tip: they still leave cookies, even when you “opt out”. You’re American, you don’t have a right to not be tracked. Use Firefox Focus, purge your cookies regularly.
This is America and KOMO/Sinclair is an American company, serving American users. What “rights” do you think you are being tricked out of? You don’t have a right to not be tracked.
Yeah that’s the problem here
Look at OPs other posts. They’re just spreading hate.
You can also just lie about your current salary.
This isn’t really specific to federated software. The client can go offline but the server can’t. Same applies to all centralized services. The only place this really applies is for decentralized (as in, no central points) systems, and those tend to have a lot of special sauce to make other people being offline less painful
It’s down to 3.5k out, maybe this isn’t as big a deal. Most of QA seems back, and a small part of Magnolia is still out.
Yeah to be clear I don’t think it would good, but the article was saying to either do the proposed UBI or make the stores pay for the cops.
Or make the stores pay for the cops
They’ll just sue them.
Yeah that claim seems fairly unsubstantiated by the rest of the article. It’s probably bullshit.
Please don’t blame the people who were forced to implement this. There are engineers to blame behind all shitty tech in the world. They’re just trying to work a job. There aren’t exactly a lot of jobs in the tech industry where you don’t work for some of the evilest motherfuckers alive building unimaginably evil stuff. I’m all for directing as much hate, vitriol, credible threats of violence, etc at the people on top, but let’s leave the poor sap who they forced to do their dirty work alone.
And now you can’t even buy a chromecast workout an always on microphone. It’s like Google is doing a mass advertising campaign that says “please get off our platform and pirate everything”
Encourages users to just add a rotating number or other not too secure thing to their password. I know that’s what I did when I worked somewhere with that dumbfuck policy.
It sounds like you’re slightly mis-remembering this oft-cited Hacker News comment from Moxie from 2015. I’m going to quote the main bit here because honestly a lot of people in this thread could stand to think about it:
If we were going to rank our priorities, they would be in this order:
Make mass surveillance impossible.
Stop targeted attacks against crypto nerds.
It’s not that we don’t find #2 laudable, but optimizing for #1 takes precedence when we’re making decisions.
It’s Saturday, only losers leave before the man burns (Saturday night). If this keeps up through late Sunday then it might start to be a problem. If anything this will keep out straggling weekenders.
