They can request additional compute time through the browser's standard permission request system.

Then I'm afraid you're just wrong. Open source is a well-defined term with a well-defined meaning. In fact, it was coined precisely because "Free Software" was considered to be too…

I'm more interested in knowing how they determine where I am. Do this feature require a GPS-enabled device to activate?

Not to turn this into a contest but Rust officially supports windows 7. In fact I believe Rust fully supported windows XP too until very recently when they decreased platform suppo…

I still have a hard time accepting this happened. Sovereignty doesn't seem to exist anymore: We have a single government, 10% privileged human beings that have some rights and say …

You're being uncharitable in your reading. GP is rightfully pointing out that political discourse is far often centered on identity politics to the exclusion of more important topi…

If citizens don't have a say, then that's not a democracy.

Which will encourage courts to render these "agreements" invalid. I think there was a study that showed that it would take the average user 40 man-years to read and understand each…

No, sir. They don't lie. At least not wittingly.. There are cases where they may inadvertently.. perhaps lie, but not wittingly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwiUVUJmGjs&t=402

What do you mean by PGP "not [being] as secure as the people using it thought that it was"? Can you mention something specific?

This is only necessary because the company has been honorably mismanaged for so long and lacks any sort of consistent vision. Maybe Mozilla should also look into reducing leadershi…

This is an interesting interpretation of what he stated. What I got from it is that the strength of PGP is in its flexibility and that it gains that flexibility from being standard…

With the rate that video-based deepfake projects are progressing, video/image-based verification likely won't remain useful for much longer.

Any usecase forwhich no specialized solution already exists. Source code signatures and Apt/RPM packages are good examples of this.

People in this industry use OpenPGP because it's flexible and amendable to almost any usecase you can think of. "Better solutions" are usually indeed better but are also so special…

> and no commmercial vendor. So it's about liability. Makes sense.

The specs are really good for the price and clean design is aesthetically pleasing, but I won't be able to enjoy it knowing that facebook is behind it. I can wait for their competi…

It doesn't even have to be the US government itself doing this; US companies are becoming large and strong enough to do as they please without regard to what lesser organizations a…

> You access the the developer's webpage (via a browser and https) and read the installation instructions. They tell you to curl in (over https) some pgp key and some (https) endpo…

This discussion was about your false assertion that PGP "has virtually no adoption". If you want to change our discussion to be about replacing PGP instead, then I completely agree…

Yet MOBAs MMOs continue to thrive. Perhaps toxicity isn't as negative as often portrayed.

Our disagreement here is on your claim that PGP has virtually no adoption. I brought up the monstrous amount of packages that get verified by CI/containers/OSs as an example where …

The fractal surface area of PGP is why it has continued to enjoy such widespread adoption. People need to secure their messages and other systems are far too ridged or specialized …

Being a giant blob of byzantine implementation details and layers of accrued crust doesn't take away from PGP being a standard. Take a look at BMP or Postscript/PDF or even Email a…

> It has virtually no adoption. The sheer volume of gpg-signed apt/rpm/tar packages downloaded and verified everyday cast doubt on your claim. I bet the number of packages download…
