> Rune is a native graphical application built around a character grid, not an application running inside your terminal. So it has the visual limitations of a TUI without the portability benefits? Why??

I really don't get why redhat decided to kill SPICE. It was the only thing that got using a VM on open source virtualization (e.g. proxmox) close to the experience of using one on vmware. VNC is truly the worst remote desktop protocol

I'm not sure what you mean... In OrganicMaps/CoMaps I click "edit place" > "Business hours" and get a nice vidual editor with checkboxes for each day it's open and boxes to put in times. Same in OsmAnd,

The only time I "needed" a credit card is when I tried to sign up for some US company's service. It rejected my debit card because it wanted credit, so I just took my business elsewhere. Other than that, I've rented cars

These vulnerabilities only get fixed because they're used by public rooting tools. If blackhat hackers found them instead, kept quiet about them and used them carefully, they'd never be fixed.

Compared to every person owning their own car, but now it has a bunch of extra sensors and a cloud subscription? And the city still needs to build and maintain the roads. Or a bunch of robotaxis, which reduce the up-front cost and amount of

Well yes, SNI will be removed, when ESNI reaches far enough adoption. That's my point! ESNI does what SNI does, but securely. You fix an insecure implementation by replacing it with a secure implementation, not removing the feature com

I generally like it, but am I seeing right that the new event window is now a modal dialog? Why?? Composing a message is a normal that you can manage with your window manager and have multiple instances of - why not the even too? The use-ca

New versions of encryption suites don't remove core functionality. This is like TLS removing SNI because it leaks information. It does, but the solution is ESNI, not removing SNI all together. It's not "please stop looking at

Removing capabilities is not progress towards better security. Putting them behind opt-in permissions, making permissions more granular, more robust... those are security upgrades. Removing capabilities is a feature downgrade.

Your browser does prevent random extensions from reading web page data - it prevents all of the ones you don't install! More seriously: if you don't want X to do Y, the solution is to not give X the permission Y. The platform over

I don't get it. They can get access to all of our shit through vulnerabilities, but nobody knows about it. In the author's hypothetical world, they get access to all our shit through backdoors, which they have to introduce through

Compared to any normal hosting provider, you'd be paying 50 €/year for what Oracle is handing over for free. Plus you don't need to use the absolute trainwreck that is the OCI web console. "Cloud" providers are not

Well yes, but those won't get Google's new updates either. Open ADB on 5555 was a problem we solved almost a decade ago and these devices are still vulnerable. Even further restricting ADB in the latest version won't do anyth

A large part is also how much you read back what the model writes. The good models generally write quite secure code, but they also often implement temporary solutions that they tell you to fix later. For example, if secret storage methods

Given the nature of the problems with OM, this makes sense. The dispute is about governance and money, which is something that only the people involved in development will deeply care about. It makes sense they're the main people talki

Cool, then they can train their proprietary models on their proprietary data only. Even if the other models were trained on the same data, which is unlikely, since they had less time and money to scrape it and fewer lawyers to be able to do
