Sure, but, meh. A few dozen RAW picture files take more space. Storage is cheap nowadays and KDE applications generally are of such high quality that it's definitely worth it. Other examples are Digikam (hands-down the best picture org

It's indeed strange and definitely against the spirit. There's an excellent open source project which does this and much more: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kde.kdecon...

The reason all of those incompatible chat protocols pop up is that all of the popular federated protocols lack features like inline image transfer, a usable backlog, persistence, live previews or gimmicks like code formatting and editing an

Wow, this is pretty cool. Reminds me of the performance optimizations Facebook has done with Mercurial: https://code.facebook.com/posts/218678814984400/scaling-merc... Mercurial was designed to be easy to extend,

Does it support hardening flags by now? (ASLR etc.)

Other protocols are probably just as broken, we just haven't found the vulnerabilities yet. Few protocols (if any) get as much scrutiny as SSL/TLS.

The NIST curves also have constants which may or may not be manipulated. Bruce Schneier recommends against using them.

Zulip ( https://zulip.org/ ), a recently open-sourced Slack alternative, has a clever solution for this. They have a light-weight threading model which ensure that discussions stay within context. That way, you can just ignor

Google Hangouts is a great alternative. It only needs a browser, too.

That's certainly a risk, but it's less likely to happen than the alternative and all serious distributions have a QA process in place which is designed to catch those issues.

The author also seriously recommends Arch Linux and Tumbleweed as alternatives. Anyone who ever maintained a server in an enterprise production environment knows how valuable the kind of stability that the author criticisms is. Not everyone

It's easily the most secure Linux distro. It has SELinux enabled by default (and it actually works!) and compiles binaries using most of the available hardening features, other than basically any other mainstream distro. They have an e
