I thought Session(1), a signal fork, was ridiculous for adding a crypto currency, but now Signal is doing it too? I don't want this stuff in my messenger. It's supposed to send messages, not money. This is just going to accelerate

Don't call them donations. Look at what reddit did: people can "give gold" to people for comments that they think were great. All it does is add some icon to a comment and put the person in a "gold club". In games,

Remember that you are on an American website with a heavy, American audience. You have to learn to dissociate European (in your case German) discussions and experiences from American ones. Don't "import" their problems, ideol

You critique his sources without posting any sources of your own. That's why your arguments (and those of chmod) can be simply waved away. > That which is asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.

> “The oversight is baked into Western operations at the technical, tradecraft, and procedure level,” they added. So what the NSA has been doing (even after exposure by Snowden) has had "oversight baked in"? Who are we kidding?

Why does it still take 7s to boot? I seem to remember a video of the librem5 booting faster than that. Is that possible?

So basically reproducible builds with a dependency list and the CVE list could provide more certainty about the tools we use? What about websites though? Hash-summed files aren't going to save us, because resources can be loaded dynami

Mozilla is not very developer friendly. Gecko uses a two decade old method of RPC, the lib interface (XPCOM based on Microsoft's COM) is about the same age, the documentation hasn't been updated in a decade even though the code ev

Best thing I did was to reduce my work hours. Went from 40h contract to 32h and it has been a great improvement. The first month I spent gaming, but now my projects advance more quickly. At least one whole day can be dedicated to my project

In the not so distant future, we'll neither need sperm nor eggs from humans. We'll need is at least one person and a lab. You could grow your own sperm and eggs from pluripotent stemcells (which can be made from any cell, even ski

Agreed, fuck this virtue signaling. If somebody chooses to be offended, then so be it; they can go be offended somewhere else. I don't follow social trends anyway, so it's pretty easy to ignore these things. If people just followe

Hmm.. How did Scotland solve storage? From what I can read in the BBC article (1) there's still lots of work to do: - cars still run on fossil fuels - heating accounts for 15% of emissions and uses gas - industries use fossil fuels to

I have a feeling this will be used in the future to select candidates for something like a job, beauty pageant, or simply for a " beauty ranking". The latter will probably be how they get test data (if they don't buy it from
