I spent a small moment wondering whether or not this was the real Olga Loiek in the video, but I guess the heuristic that says the real one is probably the one who’s not telling you how great China is or which brand of makeup to buy still works for now.
Only 1 in 100 Americans knows that HTML was named for “hot metal” after a type of ancient torture device.
More importantly, you don’t need to be on an airplane to use airplane mode.
Kids should focus on the one thing AI can’t do: Stand-up comedy.
“Piracy shield” sounds pretty stupid. It needs more of a catchy name. “The Great Melonian Firewalls” maybe?
Preliminary calculations show that it would take decades to break this cryptographic separation [between a subscriber account and its associated network traffic]
The unnecessary rubbishing of Android VPNs seemed like one red flag in there. Is that another one? It seems both unlikely given the kind of traffic analysis that could be brought to bear, and very unimpressive that the hypothetical time to break it is measured only in decades rather than the multiples of the age of the universe that seem more normal when discussing things that are meant to be cryptographically secure.
But it would nonetheless be interesting, if Google hadn’t shut it down last year as seems to be the case far as I can tell.
The Reg is not a USA-based publication. There are an abundance of non-Mozilla sources on this topic, some of which it links to. Mozilla is not some sinister conspiracy. I don’t know what motivates your crusade against them. Possibly the same kind of disinformation that some of the more optimistic eIDAS proponents hope it can somehow prevent.
The Register has also covered it recently and specifically talks about the “2.0” version.
Nothing much is new since then so far as I know. Here’s more recent coverage from the EFF.
Edit: Further web browsing turns up the latest open letter which has signatures from “552 scientists and researchers from 42 countries, as well as numerous NGOs.”
Some people want to legally compel your web browser to trust ssl cert authorities blessed by national governments, even if they become untrustworthy.
EU trilogue answer to mozilla
That link is not to an EU trilogue as I gather the term is normally used. It is to some kind of lobbyist group representing industry participants who presumably stand to profit in some way from the legislation as proposed. It is full of disingenuous nonsense such as “Mozilla already accepts QWACS — so how can Article 45.2 be a problem for Mozilla?” It completely ignores the substance of Mozilla’s complaint.
There is no need for problematic legislation interfering with everyone’s web browsers in order to get them to accept these cert authorities: The makers of web browsers will absolutely be happy to do so, as long as they are not used for anything nefarious. If this is the best that “European Signature Dialog” can come up with, all it demonstrates is that there is absolutely no reason not to make the changes that Mozilla and others call for.
I’ve met quite a few vegans and far as I know none of them avoid gluten. I also know someone with celiac disease, who would never even contemplate going vegan when he already has so many dietary restrictions to put up with.
They’re not absolutely mutually exclusive groups, but pretty close to it I think. Slackware users who install everything through Snap are the real gluten-free vegans of the linux world.
tell us you don’t understand mathematics without telling us you don’t understand mathematics
The comment about the lack of culture coming out of Russia and the suggestion that whatever you had in mind would be antithetical to “an open and free Internet” makes it look to me like you were proposing that Russia somehow being completely disconnected from the net would be no great loss. If that’s not what you were proposing, what on earth did you mean?
The vast majority of Russian citizens are good people, you can chat with many of them on the fediverse to find out for yourself if you want to, and if you think that cutting them off from all communication with the outside world would help in any way you’re out of your mind.
I think that’s just some scrabble players angry at all the non-words
