I hope the average person will soon understand the importance of security and will be OK with making the necessary sacrifices to achieve it. Almost everyone has something to protec…

It seemed for a second that the top security firm auditing Proton's password manager was Proton.

In one of the languages I read, journalists do this when quoting someone and it pisses me off. Instead of "said", they'll cycle through the same 6-7 synonyms. Instead of just quoti…

There's almost nothing written about Haiku's security [0]. Am I missing something? I also don't understand this: > Our infrastructure contains sensitive personal user data, and we …

Could a case be made not from a free speech POV but from a antitrust one?

While the EU currently offers more privacy than the US, the best solution would be to use services which no one could have any meaningful control over, as much as possible, except …

Can you elaborate on how that would work exactly? What would the flow be - which party would request what from whom? Would there be technical assurances that no list is stored by t…

Sorry for the late reply. Right now I don't use Android (in any form) or iOS. I have a dumb phone for calls and SMS. I'm fortunate enough that I can keep it on mute for days. I don…

Sorry for the late reply. While that's a good example of a vuln that's not "owned" by the affected party and mitigation would be hard to create and distribute, IMO we should still …

The company can almost always shut down their service until they fix it. They'll lose money and their customers could also lose money if they depend on the service. That's the pric…

> On the other side you have "bugs are bugs" culture. This is especially common in Linux, where the argument is that if the kernel is doing something it shouldn't then someone some…

I don't use Android right now and haven't used Google'd Android for almost a decade. And I won't. If this is the hill I die on, so be it. I'm not going to use any sort of hardware …

From what I've seen no such solution guarantees privacy to the user if the signing body (or the government) and the website collude to deanonymize the user.

3) micropayments There are many issues with those, like the wildly different standards of living across the globe. OTOH anyone can acquire Monero if they want to. But someone from …

I absolutely want to increase or decrease the font while keeping the whole width unchanged. This is not possible with PDF. Or maybe it is, but I've never seen a PDF file that suppo…

I get "Keine Leseprobe verfügbar" which is "no sample available" according to DDG. I'm downloading a 101 MB EPUB from Anna’s Archive. I'm not sure if it's an official EPUB or someo…

I understand your point that you want a fixed presentation layout and pagination. I prefer to be able to responsively resize the document and to follow the ToC instead of pages. I'…

My issue with EPUB readers is about features a PDF reader wouldn't even have. Small and annoying things like how much freedom I get when changing fonts and whatnot. I haven't had a…

But you can actually edit PDFs if you're into pain. For immutability there are hashes, signatures and so on. I've seen rendering differences on different readers over the years. Ra…

> correct behavior on windows size change Except the PDF is not responsive at all and you can't increase or decrease the font size without increasing the whole width of page. > Som…

The "figures that are deliberately placed close to the relevant section in the text" is something I've heard often, and I'd agree to an extent. But the figure is never 10 pages awa…

> It would be amazing if we didn’t have to have this conversation on every single thread about anything related to Firefox. If Firefox starts acting maturely, we can stop having th…

Maybe if Mozilla focused less on new useless features and redesigns, they would be able to focus more on writing secure and bug-free code. I'm not only talking about big things lik…

PDFs should be only for printing or maybe for keeping scanned versions of things. For anything else they're just not the right tool for the job. Not for things meant to be accessed…

> All they'll have is higher property taxes, water, and electricity bills. How would the datacenter lead to higher taxes and bills? Genuinely curious.
