And it was a huge step back from GTK2 at the time, taking ages to mature. Yes, the GNOME project is stagnating rather badly. Compare that with Qt, which is much better by comparison.

This is something I was actively resisting. It turns out that for me, I find GTK3 to be less aesthetically pleasing than GTK2. There are far fewer themes for GTK3, and they aren't as nice as the GTK2 ones either. Sad to see a step back

They were warning of this for a long time, due to modern cars being so much heavier than in the 1970s and 1980s, when these garages were built. And this is especially so for electric cars due to the battery pack. https://www.busi

I think the pendulum will swing towards that way eventually. It's cyclical. Once the novelty of social media wears away, as it has done already, and the harms start being worse than the benefits. However not being on social media can h

It's the same intuition that tells me something's wrong when I read things that end up being conspiracy theories or pseudoscience. I trust it, because for me, it seems to have a track record of being correct in the end. Well every

Yes, I'm likely wrong there.... As a side note, one important change in the modern times is the ability to cross check information from a wide range of sources easily.

But I think it's the primary way the state finds out what we are doing, so it then can exercise it's violence, if it finds us doing something that it doesn't like. The first thing police do nowadays is check social media acco

It might actually get better over hundreds of years, the current problems are decline over a couple of decades, which will likely result in a backlash eventually. We abolished slavery, torture, blasphemy, heresy, witch hunting, etc. over th

A totalitarian police state in the making there. Yes, with ChatGPT (and its successors) they will be targeting politically subversive conversations that threaten state power, in 20+ years time. It's happened before and we are already s

It's quite shocking when you think about it, that your "friends" here are in effect not allowing you to be yourself. And will potentially socially ostracize you (i.e. punish you) if you do something, that is harmless, but i

What about spoofing IP addresses (bittorrent DHT / IPFS / deliberately faked Tor IP leaks / etc.) or a combined technique, so that the police think illegal material was shared from that IP, and when they come to investigate

Yes, quite possibly overgeneralization there. Thinking on it....

It appears to me that fears over catastrophic climate change are yet another moral panic. Amplified by social media this time. As with other moral panics (e.g. child abductions, pedophilia), the problem exists, but is blown way out of pro

And in order to compete with the other channels, news started becoming more and more sensationalist. Those channels contributed to the moral panics behind "Stranger Danger" and "Satanic Ritual Abuse", which resulted in p

Likely because that generation was raised to believe everything they were told, starting from an early age with school, religion, then with television and newspapers, etc. The younger generation were raised with media that spread obvious un

I think it's the total visibility that's causing mental illness. There is no space where you can be with your friends, screw up, and not have it become known to everyone in your peer group. There's little space to make mist

Yes, if used as a root filesystem. My computer is setup to have immutable read-only root filesystem, any changes go to RAM. Except for the home directory. There is no swap either. It shouldn't be a problem if you use it to store infreq

And they'll just infiltrate your open source project, in the name of preventing petty "harassment" of developers. That way they will allow weaknesses in the protocol to arise, due to attrition of the best developers. And ther

Yes, the Murdoch owned newspapers use moral panic to get these draconian laws passed. And it's been going on for decades. That is how our civil liberties are destroyed here in the UK. It's an almost symbiotic relationship with the

And you can set someone up by just filling their hard drive with random data. Now all you need next is a fake tip off for child porn or something similar. The police will ask to "decrypt" it, but nobody has the key. Absolutely in

Use the TPM as an additional layer of protection. In combination with other things as well, heck even the encryption built into an SSD. So if any one fails, it's still better than nothing. All with separate, uncorrelated passphrases.

In theory you could store it both offsite (using a hidden Micro SD card) and on your phone simultaneously, with a special key combination, e.g. pressing Vol Up + Vol Down + Power causing the phone to be rebooted, and the key erased from RAM

Maybe using two layers of encryption, so if one fails, then we at least have another one to be bruteforced as a backup? Also two implementations, from different operating systems (!), e.g. why not store the data encrypted on a server runnin

And that cost cutting is likely due to the rise of Chinese STM32 clones from companies most of us have never heard of such as GigaDevice, CKS, Geehy, MindMotion, APEX Semiconductors, etc... Some die photos here: https://mecrisp-s
