Just because there are other things that are worse, or at least as bad, doesn't mean we shouldn't call put bad behaviour when it happens. And written MS it keeps happening.

Yes. If you turn off a computer it can't be compromised.

But I think the interesting question is if its possible have a system that does something useful, while at the same time be 100% secure.

The answer is probably yes, especially small systems that have been designed for a single purpose, but it would be incredibly difficult to prove it. Just because it hasn't been compromised yet doesn't mean it won't in the future.

Even doing a formal proof only proves things within the abstract model the proof works with.

Not only that. Backroom deals without public documentation has been done since the beginning of humanity.

Even if blockchains were widely used, these things would happen outside the blockhain and no one would be the wiser.

I had an account there. I never used, but I posted a few times just to see what it looked like.

The UI wasn't bad, and if they have any resources left they should repurpose that UI on top of Mastodon.

It's a mystery. It's a real shame it's impossible to explain.

Regardless of anything else, there are no circumstances under which companies like Uber would decrease traffic. This is because of two effects: Firstly, any regular car ride replaced with an Uber ride will result in more road-hours, since there is now a car travelling to your pickup point as well travelling on the road after dropping you off.

Secondly, the convenience of Uber can cause more travellers taking a car instead of public transport, again increasing the total number of road-hours.

Is there even a hypothetical scenario under which any of these private hire companies would reduce traffic? The only theoretical benefit is that less parking spaces are needed.

In Swedish it's called medsols and motsols. The iteral translation is with the sun and against the sun.

I fully expect that we will soon hear how Apple revolutionised the industry by pioneering repairability.

When replying with an LLM generated piece of text, I would suggest at least reading it before posting.

It's the likes by AMD on what is obviously an LLM generated post.

I think this highly depends on where you are. I haven't flown to the US since 2000, so I can't speak for how it's there, but I fly a lot in Asia and Europebamd the only major difference is that the security check is a bit stricter (but not by very much, you have to take the laptop out of the bag these days, but that's about it).

I remember seeing armed soldiers at the airport in Paris back in the 90's so that's nothing new really.

Same. I still use Kerberos, but I use kinit manually when I want to authenticate. It does force me to type the password more often but the benefits outweigh that.

I use KeepassXC and sync the database on my Nextcloud instance. It works really well, as long as you have Nextcloud of course.

I accidentally subscribed to it, and since I get a 500 error every time I try to visit it (problem with fedia.io I think) I cannot unsubscribe.

It's kind of annoying.

Are you still providing services to them?

In a way, the media hype was not completely bad. It helped ensuring there was budget to fix all those systems.

I'm going to as far as saying don't watch either the first or second season of Discovery. The first season is just bad, and the entire second season is them fixing all the continuity holes they created in the first one.

Then they send the ship away and let it do its own thing in a different timeline and all of a sudden it becomes pretty good.

Remember the Wil Wheaton drama? If you know, you know :-)

Matrix is probably the best solution. There is a bridge feature that allows you to merge a Matrix room with a Discord channel to the members can tack to each other. This allows for a smooth transition of communities away from Discord.

It's been a while since anything failed on Proton. I can't really see why anyone would jump through the hoops to run Windows on this thing.
