Fortunately Google thought about this, so government ID and banking apps usually check that they are running on a sufficiently locked down and officially blessed phone through the …

Is there any person or organization out there doing significant work against remote attestation being a thing? I'd love to support them.

So if I understand the last comment correctly... It's possible to get unauthenticated streams if you know the media paths. Media collections, at least in my experience, usually adh…

Well, I've been using NixOS for a while now, and it's by far the most "integrated" feeling distro I've ever tried.

I'm not sure what you mean by "invented", but as far as I know the Chinese lab leak theory is still widely accepted as credible and supported by many facts.

Just... get the TGZ then?

Any target date for open-sourcing it? :^)

Foot would be beyond perfect if it had ligature support.

Exit node or relay?

I agree, "tech-literate" was a poor choice of words on my part. Tech enthusiast or tinkerer would have been much better options to convey my opinion. I feel like there used to be a…

I'm always surprised when people speak highly of Apple devices here. While they do have certain advantages, there are some issues that should be dealbreakers for tech literate peop…

I'd never use anything less than completely open source and self-hostable for this purpose! Which is why I'm having trouble with finding a viable alternative to KeepassXC. I intend…

Not having a built-in syncing mechanism is the #1 reson I'm looking to move away from KeepassXC as soon as possible. Making users kludge together their own makeshift sync methods u…

It's only a matter of time when it's this easy. Some essential service, most likely a bank, will inevitably turn it on in the future. And it only takes one of those to make all fre…

I'm sure the Mastodon complainers will build a much better browser!

I'm also curious about this. When it was just a toy project it made sense to write everything from scratch. If it's supposed to eventually be usable by people, a hard fork of Chrom…

Anyone who can perform the arcane incantations and rituals required to uninstall, disable, defuse, and circumvent all the user hostile anti-features ( which are only increasing in …

People will ask me why I'm 'torturing' myself with Linux while their preferred OS requires inputting the Konami code just to install properly.

The main trade-off is that you don't get to enjoy the benefits of upgrading to Linux instead :^)

What do you mean by 'legitimate software' exactly? If you described what a modern anti-cheat solution does to someone without telling them what it is, they'd automatically call it …

I'm sure this is all a part of Putin's grand designs. I'm so happy that every single person living on the other side of the Russian border is ontologically evil so I can hate them …

I might sound jaded, but I'd be more excited for a Chromium fork that focuses on hackability instead of a brand new browser that'll take somewhere between years to ∞ to be even rem…

I think the Firefox hate is completely justified. At this point the only positive thing about Firefox is that "at least it's not Chrome".

Stop participating in the housing game? How? By becoming homeless?
