Currently working on a way to help folks setup a signal account without requiring a smartphone. It's in rust with egui, and should help folks to do that without the cli. Not ready for prime time yet, but available at https:/&#x2F

(Hi, disclaimer: I'm one of the current dangerzone maintainers) You are correct: that's basically what Dangerzone is doing! The challenges for us are to have a sandbox that keeps being secure and make it possible for non-tech folk

(Hi, disclaimer: I'm one of the current dangerzone maintainers) That's a good question :-) Opening PDFs, or images, or any other document directly inside your machine, even with a limited PDF viewer, potentially exposes your envir

(Hi, dangerzone maintainer here) There is indeed a dangerzone-cli tool¹, and it should be made more visible. We plan on updating/consolidating our docs in the foreseeable future, to make things clearer. Also, plans are here to make it

I'm not sure the ratio of comments to LoC is a sign of good quality code. Too many comments might actually be a bad thing. It's more lines to maintain, and sometimes the comments just tell what the code is doing where there is no

I'm not sure it's not do-able, actually. What about having an execution sandbox and a way to check the calls made during the execution of the install script for instance? I worked a few years back on something like this but it wen

I still have a hard time understanding what's going on with startups : the power of money makes it too attractive to sell and "call it a life" I guess. That's why even if they don't plan on doing this, startup might

It's still the same story : PyPI still doesn't have a way to automatically detect interactions with the network and the filesystems for the submitted packages. It's a complex thing to do for sure, but that would be a welcome

Aren't startup made to be bought by the tech giants? Until there is a shift in their goals, I can't see thé gafam losing here.

Is DjangocCon US still worth it in 2022? I've been to some PyCon US in the past and it was really a great way to meet the community. I wonder if it's still playing the same role in 2022, or if the community is harder to approach?

The only thing that bugs me with Proton is that it's still very complicated to integrate with thunderbird (or any mail app?), which makes it practically unusable for my needs. Having a tab always open in my browser for my mail seems so

Thanks for stating this. It's still good to have people working on tools to help us have better usable solutions though. Depending who is your enemy (threat model), I guess proton tools can help you protect your intimacy though.

In french we say GAFAM, I naively though it was the same in the US. Gasp, I'm still too focused on my culture =D

It's frightening to see how the nuclear power debate is done nowadays. Yes, nuclear energy is generating less CO2 than some other forms of energy, but saying it's saving lives seems sketchy at best, and to be used as a "hamme

This is a mathematical approach to music, and lacks (from my point of view) what is the mere essence of music : choice. I understand why they want to take back the copyright on music, but they do so in such a geeky way that it seems compl

Does it really pays better? I thought that cooks aspired to own/operate a restaurant because they think they'll be able to do the stuff they want the way they want.

It really seems they're trying to get things right, but are afraid of the competition. In my opinion this is because the company and the product is new to the market. Once they know that their income isn't tied to them being close

Resonate is nice and I like the fact that it's a co-op, but there is something missing that was present on band-camp, unless I missed it: the possibility to pay for real albums that will be shipped to you, or for you to download the .f

It's really sad to see these almost "public goods" platforms be acquired by other companies, which will probably turn them in something else at some point because their vision isn't the same. This could probably be avoid

Thanks for the info and the work done. I don't quite understand how this fits in the picture of other package managers. If it's capable of being a multi-platform package manager, that would be great, but I suppose it's a comp

Might be surprising to some, but the fediverse has good uptaking in France, and the name sounds good to French people I know :-)
