What’s next? Windows renamed to Windows Copilot?
- Comment on Lightweight and flexible: Bitwarden lite self-host deployment is now generally available | Bitwarden 3 weeks ago:
I’m realistic and know I won’t do it any better than Bitwarden. I could make regular backups of my vault and store them on different locations. That won’t hurt, but I also have a life.
If you trust them so less, do you trust them to write software which won’t silently your data? Do you have several offsite backups at different locations? Do you test your backups?
- Comment on Lightweight and flexible: Bitwarden lite self-host deployment is now generally available | Bitwarden 3 weeks ago:
It’s not worse than any other self hosted system, the fact your vault is on every device might be useful if you don’t have a connection, but IMO it doesn’t really add any value in terms of backup.
I’m glad the option exists, but I don’t self host and pay Bitwarden €12 per year. For that price I can’t set up a more reliable system than they can even if I would consider my time free
- Comment on Lightweight and flexible: Bitwarden lite self-host deployment is now generally available | Bitwarden 3 weeks ago:
If you don’t do off-site backups there’s no recovery from your house burning down.
Exactly my point and exactly the opposite of what you said earlier.
- Comment on Lightweight and flexible: Bitwarden lite self-host deployment is now generally available | Bitwarden 3 weeks ago:
What do you mean? If my house burns down the chance all my devices went up in flames is high. This is one of the reasons I’m not self hosting Bitwarden.

Unless your phone also burns down together with the house, which is not unlikely

- Comment on China solves 'century-old problem' with new analog chip that is 1,000 times faster than high-end Nvidia GPUs 2 months ago:
The thing which makes digital chips so much better than analog chips is something both you and the article are missing: noise. A digital chip is very robust against noise, as long as the noise in one step isn’t too big so it causes a bitflip immediately the stable configuration will pull the voltage level back and no information is lost. Not so with analog logic, since the information is continuous every step which introduces noice (which is basically every step) will cause loss of information. Go a few levels of logic deep and all you’ve got left is noise.
- Comment on v2.0.0: Stable Release of Immich (complete with Merch and DVD) 2 months ago:
It does immich.app/blog/immich-product-keys
But as far as I understand the key doesn’t really go anywhere, it’s just a fancy way to suggest a donation. (And there’s nothing unethical about using FOSS without paying or contributing back in any way)

- Comment on Last year China generated almost 3 times as much solar power as the EU did, and it's close to overtaking all OECD countries put together (whose combined population is 1.38 billion people) 6 months ago:
Last year China installed more solar than the rest of the world combined, but they have less than 1/5th of the worldpopulation 🤷
There are lot’s of things you can criticize China about, their commitment to renewable energy isn’t one of them.

It’s mathematically proven that no voting system is perfect, so you’ll have to choose what you value most in a voting system. There is no clear best system.
I think the arguments for approval voting are strong. It’s simple and easy to understand, no need for complex multiple rounds of counting. Since you can’t rank candidates it doesn’t suffer from the spoiler effect.
In your hypothetical scenario you’re forgetting the Trump voters who will vote for Sanders again after they see Biden nearly beating him. RCV has a bigger problem which is called the spoiler effect where, without strategical voting a loser can influence the election results. And am I missing something or should the numbers in your RCV list add up to 100%?

You guys shouldn’t complain, you still have saldering (net metering) ánd get money for the electricity you have left which is still a huge subsidy.
- Comment on Syncthing Android app discontinued 1 year ago:
Why go through all the hoops if they are instead just could refuse patches? Open source doesn’t mean open to contributions, look at SQLite for example.
If they had the idea to release this open source they would have said so in clear words by now. They didn’t so I don’t have much hope, unless maybe if they get enough negative publicity to change their mind.
Why does VC need to ruin everything…
- Comment on Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-Source 1 year ago:
How is it fake news? They are moving functionality into a proprietary SDK and have a whole framework ready to get around the GPL.
- Comment on Syncthing Android app discontinued 1 year ago:
Stable bindings doesn’t mean open source, so I don’t see how that tells you it’s still on the table
- Comment on Syncthing Android app discontinued 1 year ago:
It doesn’t make sense for an internal library for an open source application, it that case it’s not open source.
- Comment on Syncthing Android app discontinued 1 year ago:
To be fair? Nowhere are they even suggesting they would release the SDK as FOSS, but they do say their password manager is open source. It seems like they just want a FOSS shell so they can claim it’s open source for but keep their business logic closed source.
- Comment on Syncthing Android app discontinued 1 year ago:
It says the build error is a bug, not the inclusion of proprietary code.

I think that can be explained, but tell me how someone can be in favor of the death penalty but be against assisted suicide.
