Checkout passage: https://github.com/FiloSottile/passage which has done part of this by using age instead of pgp. I used it for a while, and last I checked there was sadly no android app (the pass android app hardcode

Not even curl can connect... seems whatever this is on about isn't important enough for them to let people even try to read.

It appears that the public side of X is sent as the first part of the handshake, without any login info yet, and can be verified as part of B, thus a varying X would be easy to detect... I think.

looking at it from a high level, it doesn't appear the final token ever leaves the client till it's being redeemed. There's a middle step that does get signed, but this part is not what is sent.

Assuming the cryptography does what they say it does (am not a cryptography expert, so I can't verify that part), this would completely disjoin a search request from any account info. The account generates several "search tokens&

Part of a library's primary purposes is the preservation of history and culture. In the modern cycle, one of a company's largest competitors is their own history and back catalog. Destruction of historical artifacts is becoming

As I mentioned in a sibling comment, the entirety of IA's existence is a "critical failure of risk assessment" now. Their existence forces companies to deal with the one competitor they can't beat, their past selves. T

Probably they're thinking "This person brought us something that is about to be extinct, our job is to keep things from going extinct." The entirety of IA is the idea that culture and history are to be preserved for future ge

I think maybe it's easier to realize you don't care when working apart from a company structure. I suspect most people don't care nearly as much about the company as the company would like. There's a constant push for

I'd argue the line gets drawn when the driver is barred from stopping the distracting element themselves. Everything else can be stopped, disabled,refused, or removed by the driver. If an element is designed to be another source for

Why is digital scarcity a good thing? Why is scarcity at all a good thing? Is there any reason for this, outside of trying to sell them at an ever higher price? And how does sharing a read-only e-ink card benefit over a regular card, o

You're not entirely wrong, but often these AI systems need some pretty clear audio to work. It's kinda shocking how good we are at working around bad audio when it comes to conversation, and I'm certain most people know how

Oh it definitely is, it's just also a requirement for reasonable living in most of the US too. It's not a good combo.

Thing is, we do have that "document API". CAN bus has been a thing for a long time (and is still in use even today), and has documented ways of communicating with everything modern Body Control Units and Engine Control Unit

Exact source is a bit convoluted, because most US law is convoluted, but is covered in multiple subsections of section 1201 of Public Law 105–304 (the technical name for DMCA). There are exceptions for things like making things interoperab

Good news on that front, FreeCAD is working on adding an official Assembly workbench as we speak. They added OndselSolver as the core back in november, and seem to be working to add the workbench by the next major version. https:/&#

Two years ago I spend nearly a month hunting for a decent electric vehicle. I had plenty of funds, and could theoretically afford a lower-end tesla. I was, at the time, driving a 2002 Honda Civic Hybrid, because to me, going electric make

I was about to type up a message about how this affects private services too, buuuuut... section 22680 pretty summarily removes self hosted instances. I doubt any of them are making $100,000,000 profit per year.

Given it can run on other engines as well as self-hosted or local models, I don't think "calling someone elses API" is a major issue in relation to the reddit situation. If anything I'd argue this being both open choice

Exactly. Steam can, and honestly must, block them. People don't seem to realize that, of most of the large tech companies out there, Nintendo has figured out that they can easily outspend anyone in legal fees, and no one will care.
