with cookies you can restrict them to HttpOnly so that they are not exposed to client-side scripts. This reduces the chances of XSS to access the long-lived access tokens (JWT or session ids).

was going to say this.. open sourcing Chinese models will enforce Chinese dominance instead of reducing it. When an open Chinese model becomes the best alternative to inaccessible closed US models guess what everybody will start to use. And that same open model may embed certain narratives and values that please the Chinese government.

I wrote a short University essay on Freenet in 1998 I think it was... I may still have the document somewhere. Good stuff, very pioneer!

it's not the choice, it's the argument: OP seems to be happy to give up freedom (he or she initially cherished) because everything now is crap anyways, so let's just bathe in shit and celebrate it...

I used to own a house, I could decorate it the way I wanted. It was hard work, but it was mine!

Then they locked it, so I went to live in a luxury hotel, it's more expensive, I can't decide how I want it and I don't own anything, but it's such a superior experience!

the issue is with jupyter notebooks because they keep some of the data in the output (typically a few rows, but still). They should strongly recommend to use regular python scripts, and keep the jupyter books just for verification, which is a very sane thing to do also from a SW engineering perspective.

> In the Summer of 2016, the United Nations Human Rights Council released a non-binding resolution condemning intentional disruption of internet access by governments. The resolution reaffirmed that "the same rights people have offline must also be protected online." [1]

it's institutional corruption at all levels, legislative, executive and judicial. A systemic failure that favour abnormous private profits over basic rights of the citizens.

The effort required to change the situation is massive.

these things need to be brought to an international court who would require the government to act. Otherwise nothing happens, because institutions are completely corrupt.

It takes time, money and a strong legal team, but maybe IT companies maybe can put this together?

it's not complicated at all, it's how operating systems present them to the users.

not even the older generations. My parents save files on the Whatsapp chat, and my father is one who bought the first IBM PC when it came out, so someone who has touched these things for decades (tho very superficially).

I think that the software industry, especially operating systems, have completely failed to provide a balanced product between the overly bloated and messed up (Windows), the overly complicated (Linux) and the overly simplified (Android/iOS).

Maybe some Linux distros are now at the right spot, I was positively surprised by PopOS to give an example, but it's too late. With AI this is only going to get worse.

> While Louis Mosley, the executive vice-chair of Palantir in the UK, maintains that such campaigns are ideologically motivated and could harm patient care,

this is EXACTLY why it is of outmost importance to own those critical systems, and not delegate them to foreign companies, especially if from a country explicitly hostile towards Europe

passkeys are a great idea, but poorly implemented
