Oh, I thought they wrote the *removed* text verbatim… My bad.

“I’m afraid that’s not a choice…”

Yeah, ♡♡♡♡♡ian princes will be mad disappointed.

BTW, cool meta-use of removed internet censorship to illustrate your point.

It happens to the best of us 🙂

Also, could you please update the title of your fediverse post? The article now says 21k 🙂

Glad to learn that HTTP/0.9 is still “in use globally” then. A bit surprising, but since it’s all about stretching definitions past what is reasonable, for the sole purpose of having the last word, let’s shoehorn anything into anything to the infinity and beyond!!! 🤡🚀

Thanks.

It is one of the most private implementations of AI that I’ve seen though.

Based on what information/criteria?

This is the way. And I might add, Unix desktop. Let’s not start bikeshedding between FOSS Unix distributions out of dogmatic reasons (I’m sure you didn’t mean to specifically single out “Linux” here, but I wish we would stop opposing “Linux” and other Unixes like BSD, Illumos, etc).

The point is, voting with your data for software that is defending your interests, and respecting your rights.

Edit: Dang, I didn’t expect to get so much slack for “Unix as opposed to Unix-Like”. I absolutely meant “Unix-Like”, but my point is that it shouldn’t matter. Most software is trying to be compatible, these days, and Linux isn’t (in spite of all that marketing material) an OS. It is a kernel. So semantics for semantics, can it even be compared to something it is not? I merely tried to be inclusive.

With a 52% percent mortality rate, this might well be the last such opportunity. One way or another. 😬

Her lawyers

That’s assuming she can hire any. Her case is far from clear cut, I’m not convinced anyone would take her case for a proportion of a potential settlement.

She probably has no recourse.

I personally don’t think we’re getting anything. I always saw the “it takes time” point as a way to duck the issue until the community would forget about it entirely.

So, all in all, if you really want to get some answers, maybe wait enough time to give LMG more than enough time to investigate; so much so that using the “this wasn’t a reasonable amount of time” defence strategy would be impossible, and then try to get the community to care again. And ask for answers. I personally do not see this happening, ever, but I hope I’m wrong.

I would not call that a “privacy proxy”, it is very disingenuous. It is a normal proxy, which replaces the technical metadata from your connection, so that automated tracking is harder. But it will not replace or remove any of your input. And you can easily be tracked that way too.

Yeah, I find the puzzle sliding JavaScript captchas the best as a user. Cognitively better than “training neural networks to recognise protestors”, and still fast enough that it doesn’t feel like a forced ad. Reliability might however vary a lot between implementations.

Plus, that way, you have a trail of invites. If something goes wrong, you can prune entire branches and mitigate most abuse.

Seeing that I’m a senior dev, take it any way you want.

Junior dev:

Straight out of uni, know the latest developments while having also studied long established standards and specifications (like POSIX, LSB, SQL, etc), full of energy, and ready to speedrun burning out any %

Senior dev:

Hasn’t learned anything substantial in decades, uses outdated specs because “who got the time for that, and legacy stuff works just as well anyway”, copy pastes most of their work from stack overflow, is only still employed because of their inside information knowledge and the utter absence of documentation leading to a bus factor of one, and has perfected the art of gaming the system to the point of photoshopping a sloppy IDE screen over their WoW game whenever a picture of them “working” gets taken.

Yeah, checks out.

¹ Repudiation in SimpleX Chat will include client-server protocol from v5.7 or v5.8. Currently it is implemented but not enabled yet, as its support requires releasing the relay protocol that breaks backward compatibility.

² Post-quantum cryptography is available in beta version, as opt-in only for direct conversations. See below how it will be rolled-out further.

Some columns are marked with a yellow checkmark:

• when messages are padded, but not to a fixed size.
• when repudiation does not include client-server connection. In case of Cwtch it appears that the presence of cryptographic signatures compromises repudiation (deniability), but it needs to be clarified.
• when 2-factor key exchange is optional (via security code verification).
• when post-quantum cryptography is only added to the initial key agreement and does not protect break-in recovery.

Usually that’s about when I strace the process before running it through gdb…
