They can request additional compute time through the browser's standard permission request system.

Then I'm afraid you're just wrong.

Open source is a well-defined term with a well-defined meaning. In fact, it was coined precisely because "Free Software" was considered to be too ambiguous.

Words have meaning. You can't just change the meaning of a well defined term to suite your views.

I'm more interested in knowing how they determine where I am. Do this feature require a GPS-enabled device to activate?

Not to turn this into a contest but Rust officially supports windows 7. In fact I believe Rust fully supported windows XP too until very recently when they decreased platform support to supported-but-unbuilt-and-untested.

Another benefit of a community-driven language as aposed to a corporate-controlled one.

I still have a hard time accepting this happened. Sovereignty doesn't seem to exist anymore: We have a single government, 10% privileged human beings that have some rights and say in what it does, and 90% who don't.

You're being uncharitable in your reading.

GP is rightfully pointing out that political discourse is far often centered on identity politics to the exclusion of more important topics such as human rights.

No one is saying that one precludes the other except you.

If citizens don't have a say, then that's not a democracy.

Which will encourage courts to render these "agreements" invalid. I think there was a study that showed that it would take the average user 40 man-years to read and understand each software or serive legal agreements they "agree" to.

Software legal agreements are a farce, and it's only a matter of time before governments step in and regulate the shit out of it.

No, sir. They don't lie. At least not wittingly.. There are cases where they may inadvertently.. perhaps lie, but not wittingly.

What do you mean by PGP "not [being] as secure as the people using it thought that it was"? Can you mention something specific?

This is only necessary because the company has been honorably mismanaged for so long and lacks any sort of consistent vision.

Maybe Mozilla should also look into reducing leadership compensation or at least have it reflect the performance of the company.

This is an interesting interpretation of what he stated.

What I got from it is that the strength of PGP is in its flexibility and that it gains that flexibility from being standardized and open.

Of course you can extend PGP (or any protocol really) to include cryptographic handshakes, but that's besides the point.

With the rate that video-based deepfake projects are progressing, video/image-based verification likely won't remain useful for much longer.

Any usecase forwhich no specialized solution already exists. Source code signatures and Apt/RPM packages are good examples of this.

People in this industry use OpenPGP because it's flexible and amendable to almost any usecase you can think of. "Better solutions" are usually indeed better but are also so specialized for their purpose to the point that they can't be easily used for any other purpose.

OpenPGP is used to secure everything from simple messages and email to authenticating OS updates for most servers today.

Should they use something more specialized now that it exists? Sure, but that an argument for PGP not against it; PGP is useful in situations where no specialized solutions exist or are inadequate.

Until something comes along that can cover every situation where OpenPGP is useful, I can't see people stop using it (much to the dismay of the 5 vocal crptologists that keep arguing against it).

and no commmercial vendor.

So it's about liability. Makes sense.

The specs are really good for the price and clean design is aesthetically pleasing, but I won't be able to enjoy it knowing that facebook is behind it.

I can wait for their competitors to catch up :)

It doesn't even have to be the US government itself doing this; US companies are becoming large and strong enough to do as they please without regard to what lesser organizations and even countries have to say.

Perhaps governments around the world should do what the US did (and still does) to foreign companies before its too late.

This discussion was about your false assertion that PGP "has virtually no adoption".

If you want to change our discussion to be about replacing PGP instead, then I completely agree that people should replace PGP with modern properly-standardized alternatives if such exist.

Yet MOBAs MMOs continue to thrive. Perhaps toxicity isn't as negative as often portrayed.

Our disagreement here is on your claim that PGP has virtually no adoption. I brought up the monstrous amount of packages that get verified by CI/containers/OSs as an example where PGP is widely adopted. No one is claiming that dedicated tools can't do the job better.

People use PGP because it is standard, widely-adopted, and does what people need it to do. From where I'm standing, people who argue against these three facts are underestimating PGP or overestimating their own favored solutions.

The fractal surface area of PGP is why it has continued to enjoy such widespread adoption. People need to secure their messages and other systems are far too ridged or specialized for their needs.

Is PGP/GnuPG's horable to use or develop for? Absolutely. However, unless your friends are willing to step up and build something that's flexible enough to cover all our usecases, PGP will continue to see adoption and projects like this will continue to pop up.

Being a giant blob of byzantine implementation details and layers of accrued crust doesn't take away from PGP being a standard. Take a look at BMP or Postscript/PDF or even Email and tell me they're not the same.

Parent's point still stands: PGP is a standard (with widespread adoption, mind you) whereas Age is not. Whether it is a good standard or not depends on how you're using it.

It has virtually no adoption.

The sheer volume of gpg-signed apt/rpm/tar packages downloaded and verified everyday cast doubt on your claim.

I bet the number of packages downloaded for CI alone would invalidate this claim.

I think it's an excellent standard and its widespread adoption demonstrates this.

Can you explain why you think it isn't?

Namespaces are not Rustic

why do you think that?

Umatrix seems to do such a good job at messing with these sites dependencies that I usually don't see sticky videos at all. It allows you to block/allow individual classes of resources for each domain.

It will require some fiddling on first visit through.

All these are just allegations. If his alleged misbehavior is as frequent as it is being famed, then it should be relatively easy to provide some evidence. The man was filmed eating stuff off his toes ffs!

He was forced to resign for expressing his opinions and not for anything he did himself.

I'm afraid your opinion of RMS is not universally shared, as evidenced by FSF's latest membership drive.

Despite his numerous and off-putting shortcomings, many people (incl. myself) still believe RMS to be the best person for leading the free software community. His unyielding stance on how software should be used and shared is exactly what the FSF needs in its leadership. All the issues you and others list to justify RMS' dismissal are orthogonal to this task. Yes, this also includes the toe thing.

I have personally stopped supporting the FSF because of this incident after about a decade of support, and I no longer include the "or-later" clause in my GPL software.
