Is your B point properly addressed by Passkeys? With all this talk about export I presume not. Client certs seem abandoned, you can’t use it on mobile.

Client side TLS certs are basically the same stuff and it works nicely. Too bad they didn’t improve on that. My guess is that the big boys want to handle it at application layer.

People also don’t understand IP, TCP, DNS, TLS etc. and yet can use programs that use all of that. I find e2ee still pretty cumbersome in the long run.

I read the post, its very exhaustive and future seems promising. I might have missed the section but why it this separate mechanism needed in the first place? Is it just because of the key lifecycle management? If so, naiive approach of publishing public key on your profile falls short because of this and without public key management everything falls apart sooner than later?

I hope we see induced demand for labour in the end. Worst case would be higher workloads for everyone.

Android offers it in settings. Parental control and digital wellbeing says it on my phone. I have it set for all social apps.

labwc has it :) I use it with XFCE, integration is pretty rough but will hopefully get there over time. No crashes so far!

If I have to cross reference info from two windows I like to have one floating and always on top. In that case its nice being able to roll-up the window to see whats behind it. Minimizing would be similar but it feels more permanent than rolling up.

So there is no shading on KDE Wayland? This feature works in Labwc. Death by thousand papercuts…

GPLv2 vs GPLv3 matters. At least to corpos. You can’t just brush this away when they have a clear position on this.

Compare Ubuntu and MacOS. MacOS ships ancient version of Bash because its GPL2 which allows for coexistence with proprietary software on sold machines.

So if Ubuntu gets rid of GNU coreutils and sudo what else stays GPL3 on a barebones system? You can swap Bash with Zsh like Apple did. And just like that you got yourself a corpo friendly distro to ship proprietary software. Just like Android, and look where that got us.

Open Source won not Free Software. Author didn’t demonstrate that viral Free Software licenses lead to same undesired state as permissive Open Source demonstratably do.

Good points!

Cats darting under a car are almost daily occurence where I live. There are numerous situations and we humans adapt quiet well.

People get jail time, what do we do with machines?

yeah her bio looks like a lot of EU funds for various projects that are POC and then shelved. US big tech is basically her natural enemy in that regard.

That is true that these aren’t faceless corpos but behind there are men who are out in public.

If you as a consumer want to own software FLOSS is the only option.

yes the SSID database

Honestly I don’t know what would be the difference if this was a contract with Oracle, Microsoft, SAP etc. That is democratic stack?
