"The cause of the recent crash of flight ADZRUS-666 has been determined to be a badly scheduled ad impression which covered all screens in the glass cockpit to show aan ad of a dan…

Wikipedia lists whatever narrative the editors who have colonised that section of the site want to push. It is not a reliable source, this is something you learn in primary school.…

Matrix is overly complicated for the purpose and XMPP/OMEMO already are interoperable between many different clients. Just like all other communication systems it is the network ef…

Conversations on Android and forks thereof are comparable to eg. W/app. This is not a problem, at all.

We're not there yet, by far. Should that ever happen it will be circumvented just like nearly all technological measures are.

Just run your own XMPP server in your own domain, use OMEMO for encryption and you're set. You can communicate with others on other servers, none of them 'publically available' and…

Time to change your laws and/or prosecutors I'd say so those 'minor thefts' can and will be prosecuted resulting in fines which need to be paid - no ifs and buts. Get them early an…

Could you give some examples which refer to the activities you accuse him of? Examples of actual violations of the Constitution of the United States, that is, not just examples of …

You Grayscale people have it easy, at least you have contrast. As a person of Transparency I end up overlooked everywhere all the time.

Gott ist tot! Gott bleibt tot! Und wir haben ihn getötet! Wie trösten wir uns, die Mörder aller Mörder? Das Heiligste und Mächtigste, was die Welt bisher besaß, es ist unter unsere…

...and as if on queue the narrative around climate "crisis" is woven into an article about a plane experiencing turbulence: experts say the issue is getting worse in an era of clim…

Certainly XMPP is not perfect but then again, nothing is. The extensibility does make it a bit of a gamble whether any specific server - which can be used for all kinds of purposes…

A lot of that time was spent chasing the ever-changing "standards" which describe what a browser is supposed to do. It is easier for a new project to implement the distilled essenc…

No Chrome, no problem. Just remove it or - better still - never install it. Use an AOSP-derived distribution like Lineage, use Cromite as system we view and all your browser engine…

It is both fruit factory fanboyism as well as anti-EU sentiment and it has nothing to do with 'capitalists' not liking 'consumers' having choices. Without capitalism the problem wo…

Repair your current device? If that is really not possible get a "smart" one and dumb it down - don't allow any network access or - if it insists on being connected or you want to …

Sounds like a good use of "spare" time to me and not that different from many a lab I've been part of: someone gets a hunch, sets up an experiment to follow it, proves poor disprov…

Approval poll numbers seem to indicate a plurality of US voters agree with much of what the current government is implementing and for the first time in a very long period the majo…

You don't need GrapheneOS or any other specific AOSP derivative for that, any of them will do. Just don't install any Google-specific bits on the device - use microG if you need to…

Not to forget SpaceGoat/2000 , my usual go-to when building something which does browser-like things. I've been using that one since before the year 2000 so maybe it is time for an…

One thing seems odd: it takes an 800W LED to double the light output of a 250W halogen bulb. Normally LED is far more efficient than halogen so I wonder why the opposite is true fo…

There is so much scaremongering about running mail servers that it almost looks as if interested parties are trying to dissuade people from running servers using this well-known op…
