My dad one time told me that the reason he married my mom was because they were opposites. He's antisocial and she is a social butterfly, he thought it would be a good idea... 27 years later, ¯ \ ( ° _ o ) / ¯
I've been struggling with what a touch based IDE for my galaxy tab4. Right now I'm thinking about showing a drawer with token suggestions written on color coded chips. Right now I'm struggling with packing an LSP into an Android app.
Is the horror of this situation the fact that biometric security is less secure than a memorized password, or the big-brother-esq coercion tactic they used?
I feel like if we as the open source community would require commit signing we would be in a safer position. Crypto signing doesn't block malware from being introduced, but it would make it harder to sneek under our noses.
Currently in open source, you really don't know where your code is coming from and who worked on it. Git's "commit author" fields don't require any proof of identity, that's what GPG is for.
Why can't we get these kinds of policies in the US? Is it because Europeans are banding together to poke at us? I feel like they're doing this against us, even though we don't profit much from these tech companies bc of their tax dodging. Who are they winning against? Are we winning? Whats going on?
> 2. Substitute "Palestinian" for ANY other nationality, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, or other adjective describing a group to which YOU belong.
Well they're not just any other "nationality, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, or other adjective". They started their movement and created their identity for a specific reason. I kinda feel like we should look into the reason for their identity and factor that into how we look at this law.
> is also more or less dependent on assuming no malevolence by the certificate authorities
It doesn't have to be. Nothing's stopping you from signing your own certificates, just like nothing is stopping you from trusting the certificate your friend gave you, whether its by printing out the certificate on paper and then "handing" it to you, or sending it in an email. You're also 100% welcome to trust that your friend isn't a moron and lost control of his private key. AT THE SAME TIME, nothing stops you and abunch of your friends from trusting one or 2 dudes to be a certificate authority for your group.
Cryptography wasn't (and never tried to be) ever an alternative to not being stupid. Any 2 people can setup maximum 100% encrypted end-to-end communication using tools older than I am (or about my age). I feel like we let security and centralization blind us to solutions that we already have because those solutions are hard to onboard too. IRC is free, GPG is free, TOR is free, Email is still free.
> But what really rubs me the wrong way is when people who have chosen to steal start moralizing their position like they're standing up for some vague rights or principles
I feel like these are the same people that haven't learned how to shut up in highschool
Webapps are already protected with the same privacy and security protocols the browser imposes on webpages. What can a native app possibly do that's such an egregious invasion of privacy that a webpage can't do? Filesystems are encapsulated, hardware apis require permission, and cameras now have a nice active indicator. What can anything possibly do anymore that hasn't been fixed in all of web2?
I use accessibility features, they're not enough so that I can sit a proper distance from my laptop and work all day.
My whole issue is that light isn't getting scattered properly inside of my eye, right? Hasn't anyone looked into a display technology that focuses the light I want to see into my eye anyways? I feel like this is the kind of ground breaking research that changes the world, not how to pack 10 different cameras onto the back of an iPhone, guess that's just me.
Why even do that in the first place, I thought the whole point of cryptocurrency is to have possession of your money. What's the point if you let some exchange do it for you?
