I thought Session(1), a signal fork, was ridiculous for adding a crypto currency, but now Signal is doing it too? I don't want this stuff in my messenger. It's supposed to send mes…

Companies in the US are people until it comes to taxes, then all of a sudden they're not. There is a lot to fix...

I doubt they'll opensource anything even after exiting the market, which is unfortunate. Millions of devices will stop getting updates in a few years.

Also allows for a lot of automation since everything is guided. The whole system could work seamlessly with little human intervention. Not to mention that rail has a much lower CO2…

Don't call them donations. Look at what reddit did: people can "give gold" to people for comments that they think were great. All it does is add some icon to a comment and put the …

Snap provides commands to pull from other snap stores. There's nothing preventing people from setting up their own snap stores.

It's not news. A female entrepreneur observed similar patterns and talked about it in a TED talk: Is Modern Feminism starting to undermine Itself? | Jess Butcher | TEDxAstonUnivers…

Remember that you are on an American website with a heavy, American audience. You have to learn to dissociate European (in your case German) discussions and experiences from Americ…

You critique his sources without posting any sources of your own. That's why your arguments (and those of chmod) can be simply waved away. > That which is asserted without evidence…

Why does it still take 7s to boot? I seem to remember a video of the librem5 booting faster than that. Is that possible?

Is there no open-source alternative to broadcom?

So basically reproducible builds with a dependency list and the CVE list could provide more certainty about the tools we use? What about websites though? Hash-summed files aren't g…

Mozilla is not very developer friendly. Gecko uses a two decade old method of RPC, the lib interface (XPCOM based on Microsoft's COM) is about the same age, the documentation hasn'…

So, which CPUs are actually open-hardware and available to consumers with mainboards that support them? Is RISC-V going to be this?

In the not so distant future, we'll neither need sperm nor eggs from humans. We'll need is at least one person and a lab. You could grow your own sperm and eggs from pluripotent st…

If somebody zoomed everything out on a 15 inch screen, would you be able to tell the difference? Have you done the test?

It really depends. Handling streaming video service that does any kind of reprocessing of the data would probably be better off with horizontal scaling.

Whatsapp is a company. Does anybody believe they will simply leave 80M customers out or principle?

Hmm.. How did Scotland solve storage? From what I can read in the BBC article (1) there's still lots of work to do: - cars still run on fossil fuels - heating accounts for 15% of e…
