Though luck. Be more careful next time. That's how licences work (not only open source ones, or software ones).

Only Matrix is federated, like email. I really enjoy sending emails without opening an account for each recipient or being subservient to 1 stack provider for 50 years, with all the inbreeding that entails.

I wonder how a home assistant built with an Entity Component System architecture would look like.

At that point I would just call it a reimplementation instead of emulation.

Let's just build it in open source and out of walled gardens then.

Agree here. I long for an open source combat flight sim, and Bevy, with ECS, rust, wasm capabilities, thread safety, etc sounds quite apt.

Just gave a talk on Monday about it in containerdays.io, but the video is not in youtube yet! In a nutshell, with Kubewarden we strive to build the universal policy engine by: - Provide all personas (policy consumer, policy developer, polic

I'm also waiting for that :) See https://github.com/golang/go/issues/42372

It consolidates Go compiled to WASI as an alternative of doing containers. Linux containers don't "Run anywhere." as docker.io says. You need a specific architecture and kernel features, which is not obvious from afar. Ther

A good architecture for fully parallel, deterministic, thread-safe, serializable and extensible games is the Entity-Component-System pattern. I'm sure that Godot has one or a way to integrate a library that implements it. I think Unity

This seems like goalpost moving. You yourself say in a different comment that you are currently assessing Element: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34779070 . Either you have a formed opinion Matrix, or you don't. W

I wonder, how could one use SGX for remote attestation when they didn't publish the source code for more than a year just to get their insiders' knowledge cryptocoin deployed.

if they want it to work as you posit, they should not save all the date in Discords systems, but create a distributed chat system.

Signal is just XMPP implementing the Axolotl ratchet. XMPP is just SMTP and some protocol addons on top. SMTP is just FTP with RFC 469 and others. Etc.

Infrastructure is a natural monopoly [1]. The cost to enter the market is unfavourable, and the incumbent has all the margins. Privatizing it is always a bad move for the citizens, and a good move for the private company. At worst, countrie

I do the same, but in a Steamdeck. It doubles as HTPC, as I can use a Steam Controller as mouse, and the pop-up keyboard with it.

That sounds like moving goalposts: the OP mentions Arch's rolling release. And Arch doesn't rebuild the dependents when a package gets updated. On the point of Testing lacking timely security updates, it's fair. But I invite

it exists: either Debian Testing (a week or so of proven stability) or Debian Unstable (latest and greatest). If one follows the best practices for them[1] (installing apt-listbugs and apt-listpackages), one gets information of bugs and API

In addition to points from others: no middleman can tamper with the information being sent (e.g: see how Russia changes content of pages served via http to display war propaganda or ads).

One is not a better parent by controlling their kids for their foreseeable future. One needs to let them join the world and grow on their own, with their own friends.

That's analogous to the halting problem.

Why was it disappointing in them? Don't they need to compete with Chrome and Safari's UX, that just allow those cookies?

Gedit (and Gnome Builder, etc) do this.

I don't think vendoring helps at all. People can't review all the dependencies' code. And recursively, for the dependencies of the dependencies. At some point, you delegate trust. What helps is having provenance information,

part of the supply chain is your source forge and builders. On GitHub, you can point the builders to your own infra.. and then maybe check cryptographically that all source code that lands on the builder is correctly signed and trusted. But

The engineer building the bridge is liable. Hence, you get engineers with qualifications (instead of a random person with X years in Y), and those qualifications certify they know what they are doing.

The underlying issue to me is the different velocity of different conversations between the same people in a room. Conversation 1 can be fast, with short messages and informal, Conversation 2 can be slow, with long technical messages or att
