1:5 gender ratio. Perfect for incels.

Is your B point properly addressed by Passkeys? With all this talk about export I presume not. Client certs seem abandoned, you can’t use it on mobile.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Client side TLS certs are basically the same stuff and it works nicely. Too bad they didn’t improve on that. My guess is that the big boys want to handle it at application layer.
- Comment on Announcing Key Transparency for the Fediverse - Dhole Moments 3 weeks ago:
People also don’t understand IP, TCP, DNS, TLS etc. and yet can use programs that use all of that. I find e2ee still pretty cumbersome in the long run.
- Comment on Announcing Key Transparency for the Fediverse - Dhole Moments 3 weeks ago:
I read the post, its very exhaustive and future seems promising. I might have missed the section but why it this separate mechanism needed in the first place? Is it just because of the key lifecycle management? If so, naiive approach of publishing public key on your profile falls short because of this and without public key management everything falls apart sooner than later?

I hope we see induced demand for labour in the end. Worst case would be higher workloads for everyone.

Android offers it in settings. Parental control and digital wellbeing says it on my phone. I have it set for all social apps.

Open Source won not Free Software. Author didn’t demonstrate that viral Free Software licenses lead to same undesired state as permissive Open Source demonstratably do.
- Comment on Is self-hosting becoming too gatekept by power users? 1 month ago:
I think its rather expectation management. At some point you are going to see a wall of errors in command line. Even local hosting without exposing to internet will for typical user mean configuring routers because each wifi router creates NAT-ed subnet by default. Installation might be trivial but accessing your basement server from living room might not be.

Good paper! It confirms my bias therefore it is great :)

yeah her bio looks like a lot of EU funds for various projects that are POC and then shelved. US big tech is basically her natural enemy in that regard.

That is true that these aren’t faceless corpos but behind there are men who are out in public.

yes the SSID database

Honestly I don’t know what would be the difference if this was a contract with Oracle, Microsoft, SAP etc. That is democratic stack?
- Comment on The Authoritarian Stack 2 months ago:
To me this seems like any other big gov procurment. Which is bad of course but isn’t anything new. And I fail to see how this leads to authoritarinism especially in Europe. We have our own local home grown cliques that capture gov contracts.

When you open the maps indoor you get immedieate location. This is not from GPS but from Wifi and cell tower data. This is only possible because your phone constatly transmits your location and network data. You can also call it surveilance because its 24/7 logging and processing of your location data.
- Comment on ‘There isn’t really another choice:’ Signal chief explains why the encrypted messenger relies on AWS 2 months ago:
They are serving 1on1 chats and group chats. That practically partitions itself. There are many server lease options all over the world. My assumption is that they use some AWS service and now can’t migrate off. But you need an oncall team anyway so you aren’t buying that much convenience.

All my friends are on Messenger. It’s garbage app. More garbage is only Viber where I have my relatives. Pure suffering.
- Comment on Hackers can steal 2FA codes and private messages from Android phones 2 months ago:
they did something similar with JS timers in browsers iirc
- Comment on Hackers can steal 2FA codes and private messages from Android phones 2 months ago:
Never ending side channel attacks. Stallman was right, only 100% FOSS gives you control over your device.
And given that a lot of this stuff is relying on timing the only reliable cure is to make everything slow. But no one wants that. Or maybe getting rid of precise timers in userspace. It would be funny if stopwatch precision was bound to screen refresh rate.

I agree that Trump crossed fascist line, however I haven’t seen DHH do the same. Atleast not in his London writing for which he is getting criticized.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 2 months ago:
To me arguing for changes in visa quotas and border control is not equal to advocating for forceful expulsion of people already living somewhere. To me that seems to be difference between moderates/fascists. CDU/AfD difference if you will.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 2 months ago:
I would say basic respect of human dignity. Fascism/nazism was always violent and unlawful. I care because fascism/nazism is really really terrible with horrible consequences for real people in real world and would thus like to now what are even talking about.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 2 months ago:
I really don’t know if people actually mean fascism/nazism or is this just a term applied to xenophobic nationalism. I see this all around fedi and I genuinely can’t tell which case it is.
