Well, they forked wireguard go… I say their seriousness will depend on:

• how well they maintain their fork
• whether or not they continue to offer their self-hosted tier

I’ve been burned too many times by startups who gathered up some initial money from investors and then went all corpo once the money dried up.

The author has a Master’s in informatics. That’s pretty much like an MBA. I wouldn’t expect more than buzzword-bingo from someone like that.

Python? This will require “specialized hardware” just due to the interpreter overhead taking continuous screenshots of everything you do and indexing/storing them. Why bother implementing something like this using an interpreted language??

The only way to combat this is to vote the assholes out at the end of their term.

Extreme leftists are getting a little too comfortable all over the world it seems.

Only if he uses Linux and insists on anal as a form of contraception. 😂

I’ve been using them to report spammers (including companies who can’t be bothered to fix their mailing list unsubscription mechanisms). It works by parsing mail headers, identifying the origin of the email and submitting email abuse reports to the operators of the relays that processed the unwanted email.

Well, as a feminist, I’m choosing the wolves.

That’s a decent workaround for a laptop with a broken keyboard.

400ppm? That’s pretty hard water. Your espressos must taste awful. 😣

Wow, beautiful analogy! I’m going to use that in my professional career if you don’t mind. Also with your permission I’d like to give you credit with a link to this comment, if that’s OK with you, of course.

I wonder if this has anything to do with Apple’s CSAM scanning. You know, hang on to the photos as evidence, and, for an added bonus, sell more iCloud storage because the “System Data” now exceeds the free iCloud data storage quota. Win-win!

If it is indeed a boneheaded mistake, then it’s probably because of over reliance on RPC-type calls from the front-end that displays the data, to the back-end that actually handles the data. User deletes photo, and the front-end, instead of actually deleting it, tells the backend to do it… and then hides the photo from view, maybe updates its index of photos marking them as “deleted” regardless of whether the backend actually deleted the photo.

Then an OS update comes along, and rescans the filesystem, and report a bunch of new photos to the front-end, that then happily add them to the GUI to the user’s surprise.

Modern APIs and software architectures are a bloated, unnecessarily complex mess, and this is the result.

Whoah, isn’t FUTO the non-profit that Louis Rossmann works for? This is great news!!

Actually the ad matches the article. To me the ad is “fringe” and it has infested the “mainstream” (CNN).

The ability to walk at 40km/h speeds.

His analysis and analogies are actually pretty good, except he ruins it all with his cringy intro and outro. That’s disappointing.

Wasn’t Google Plus used to be called Circles? Man, I feel old!

If this is their attitude to a clear self-inflicted fuckup, then that’s plenty reason for me to avoid them and their services. It’s not like their services were distinct in any way… just a dime in a dozen cloud provider.

At work, if you have the option, consider using KeePassXC or similar software. That will give you a properly encrypted file with secrets and also password-manager features.

Hear hear!
