I think the world of secure messaging is in an odd-way at the moment. It feels a bit like competing standards at this point[1]. I'm personally still using signal as the metadata shared by Wire is way too much imho.
Even more interestingly the EFF has stopped trying to recommend the best one and instead is encouraging the users to do their own reasearch (even redirects old urls[2])
Just as some feedback, it saw that I was based in London, auto-selected Heathrow as my base airport and the first trip it offered me was a $800 trip to London. Don't think I'll be taking you guys up on that offer.
Seriously Bloomberg, automatically playing a video? I just woke up my wife by accident thanks to your poor UX.
I like the idea of more democratic film-making but am apprehensive about this as it seems just like crypto is hitting fever pitch and people are trying to make it fit in every paradigm they can think of
I was under the impression that lineage doesn't come with this anyway and you had to flash whatever google binaries you wanted. This just seems like they've removed one step. See bullet point on Step 1. on the wiki: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/cheeseburger/install
I've been trying to install onto a flash drive for a week now. Neither a 2015 MBP or a custom pc with an nvidia card seem appropriate intermediarys for what I've been assured is a "Simple process"
Very handy tool. Might I suggest indexing some values too. Searching for gradient returns nothing, but a suggestion for background-image might make sense.
That's a major source of anxiety I've had this past week. I have on three separate occasions had to let tech-savvy folks know it has passed. They have also shared my absolute disgust and want to protest.
Based on the HN thread about the snoopers charter last week, I was spurred on to try do something about it. I searched and read so much about activism but I honestly feel, without a semi-large scale protest in the streets, all this is a) going to proceed unheard of and b) be trivialised by the media.
Any pointers on effective social change at scale? Particularly the scale part.
Limiting access to porn is a parents job, not a governments. As long as we keep allowing an Orwellian government to do things like this, then things won't change.
We can make our tech impervious to tracking time and time again. Follow best practices, etc. It absolutely does help.
The shortfall comes in with backdooring and just getting access. There's nothing stopping a government that strongarms laws like this into law, from strongarming a company into giving access to data.
As a UK resident, this irks me beyond belief. It's a sickening invasion of human rights[1]. To echo u/rubberstamps sentiments, it's such that there's been little to no coverage of this in the media.
But it's the same everywhere, introduce an encroaching bill, have uproar from those with the heads screwed on (the minority). Let it grow a little stale in the publics eye and keep reintroducing with slight alterations it until it passes into law.
There's a definite sense of helplessness and hopelessness when approaching the subject with the public. Even within IT there's a sense of 'who cares'. I had a conversation about it just last weekend. I asked for my roommates phone so I could look at all his emails, sms, etc. He gave it to me and said he doesn't care.
How do those who want to maintain privacy reach out to people and let them know it's not OK? Because this is not OK.
Comment sounds like you didn't actually read the post. He explicitly says he's against the book. I can't fault someone for trying to earn some credit with Amazon.
Exciting and innovating as this is; this particular idea seems like it'd be more apt in an AR setting. It could address the issue of non-touch typists, those of us that use notebooks on our desk, also working in an office, being able to see people can be quite handy.
The thing that bothers me most about this as a European is; I have zero say in this, in the US you can strike out against surveillance, you can write to senators, protest against terrible legislation. Actually have a voice, however faint it is. Whereas I don't get a say but the exact same treatment from your country. The Five Eyes have made me paranoid and the only escape seems to be downgrading your phone to a brick and carrying it in a Faraday cage. We may as well just go back to plain old telephones.
Obviously your threat model informs this.
