Yes that BRICS coalition is looking like a real powerhouse /s

Where I live the kids section is on a separate floor altogether. Not sure about this trend OP is describing, I don’t travel around visiting libraries though.

Trailer park boys. The only peaceful moment in any episode is the opening.

Reviewers getting copies a week before launch are generally netting like 40-50 hours of game time in a short timeframe. Combine that with the fact that it’d be more like hundreds of reviewers and you might actually have a decently active community.

Plex for porn looool

I once dm’d the maintainer of an open source project who got kind of upset at me for not posting an issue in GitHub. I got it, it made sense and the guy explained that it was all about visibility.

Name and shame!

Well that was a trash take.

Welcome to the court of public opinion.

First time?

Yep, I’m aware. It’s how that one guy hacked his airplanes wireless, by setting up a certificate with his domain and the airlines and then using that domain + port 443 as an ssh or vpn tunnel.

So TLS rollout is slow because the websites can still be seen with packet inspection? We’re talking about TLS 1.4 right?

I don’t use chrome but this is a whole lot of nothing. It’s basically saying if you save a file or an article to your reading list it’ll still be there…and that remote websites will still stuff your face with cookies and try to track you…but it’s not like they’re giving you a special chrome cookie to link your private and non private browsing. Server side tracking never goes away, not even with Firefox.

Anyways, who cares. Delete chrome and start using Firefox. But again, make sure you delete the files you download in incognito or they’ll still be there. And your ISP can still see which domains you’re going to if you use them as your DNS.

Starvation will make you do crazy shit.

Nope. That’s extremely misleading.

Cloudflare has 100 employees not counting her.

Candy company? These guys own major pet food brands as well as chains of veterinary clinics. This company is so fucking dystopian: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Inc.

Honestly it’s the uniform for me. It implies so much like maybe that kids gotta punch in with a time card of has their pay docked.

You really can’t tell the difference?

It existed and was popular and then poof…it’s gone. That model is kind of dead unless you count battle passes, which are optional…unlike a wow subscription.

I’m not judging, not sure how or why you think you’re failing but it’s not coming from me!

I’m like you, I use Bear for when I’m lazy and emacs for everything else. Two polar opposites but at least with Bear I can collaborate with my wife without complication.

I looked at their test app and nothing looks like zero knowledge to me in the settings. The closest thing I see is private vault but that just sounds an extra layer of password locking (and encryption too) but not in a way that would prevent the company itself to see its contents (confirmed here). The dev in that thread failed to disabuse the user of that notion will leads me to believe the term is being knowingly misused.

Zero knowledge is supremely annoying to implement and also very risky because if your users lose access to their private encryption key that they have to write down during signup, their data cannot be retrieved and it's gone forever. That means if you specifically were using that feature, you would know it from all the nagging during signup about those risks.

And again, there's a very simple way to test this. Just try logging in from a new device. You should not be able to see any decrypted notes without either entering in that private key or having another device be online to share it. If you're thinking maybe the private vault is a secret key only you have, just see the github issue above. It's not.

Having said all that...

I'm not advocating for zero knowledge in every service. I mentioned it because the marketing bugged me and felt misleading. I honestly have no idea if their app is good or not but it does look pretty. Just make sure you trust them with what you're putting on their servers.

/edit I'm sorry I want to make sure I'm not spreading misinformation and stumbled on this thread where the author claims they cannot read any of the users' data on their servers but then everyone else in the comments is debating whether it's just end to end encryption or some other derivative marketing term. Honestly I'm just gonna say it "I don't know". If it's zero knowledge and you didn't get a special string on top of your password then that means your password is your key and password resets should be impossible or come with a side of "losing all of your notes".
