I wish. Every fucking bank has their own shitty app for 2FA instead of just using standardized and proven TOTP, no way around that.

Same about school apps the article mentioned since it’s connecting to their (one of many) proprietary system, no website for that.

And recently got into the home automation rabbit hole. Lots of devices that require their fucking app, sometimes with mandatory cloud account, just to connect! And people in reviews even praise how easy it is, it’s infuriating! I don’t need light bulbs connecting to the internet, thank you very much.

I have already ramped up on that one on their last ad ramp up.

got highlighted in a horse industry publication

Wait what?

Edit: duh, he was a jockey. I should let the moment of confusion settle before replying.

Hey now, it was carefully designed and thoroughly trained on Tinder dickpics

Probably don’t know how to get it to run.

Thanks, that’s good to know. I wasn’t up-to-date since I currently don’t run a Debian machine.

Maybe they meant of the box. You have to add additional repos to get non-free drivers installed on Debian or install them manually.

Especially not discord you mean.

I’ve been using Linux as my main driver for a couple of years now but I didn’t know the list of reserved file name characters is so short.

I didn’t believe ‘*’ is allowed. That alone is so error-prone, it’s insane. Backslash is allowed too - how do you escape that? Sometimes I think they giggled while writing the specs.

Only the early ones. By definition millenials are birth years 1981 to 1996, so the last ones were 11 when the first iPhone released.

I think every generation has their percentage of nerds and that just was a little higher in late Gen X and early millenials because computers were so new and you had to tinker to get anything working.

Funny that you chose an architect. Since they are basically document producers (also software architects), they tend to be able to type pretty proficiently.

That’s like 80% autocorrect anyway (I didn’t write a single word correctly in this sentence).

Not sure how this is a crime… breach of TOS, sure, but a crime?

What law is being broken here?

Not curious enough to actually read the article, eh?

Indicted on three counts involving money laundering and wire fraud

One may argue about money laundering but it’s pretty clearly fraud.

My wife is T1 too and I wholeheartedly agree. The development in that area is outrageously slow and locked down (and then there’s healthcare providers with whom you have to fight tooth and nails to get your ancient pump upgraded - another story and country-specific).

What about that trunk though? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

But now we have AI! Both and many more problems will be solved any time now…

With new possibilities due to new tech user demands rise, too. People asked for features like group or video chats or coupled devices (not trivial with E2EE) and since good companies listen, they developed those and still do.

Also, I don’t think there’s a single IRC client still in use that hasn’t been updated since the 80s. I wouldn’t be surprised if your favorite client got an update in the last couple of months - and that despite it being a trivial protocol.

Why isn’t it on F-droid if it’s FOSS?

That got me interested and apparently, they fear forks running out of date.

Concerning F-Droid, we already providing an auto-updating APK directly from our site, and we really don’t want forked versions of the app maintained by other parties connecting to our servers. Not only could the users using the forked version have a subpar experience, but the people they’re talking to (using official clients) could also have a subpar experience (for example, an official client could try to send a new kind of message that the fork, having fallen out of date, doesn’t support). I know you say you’d advocate for a build expiry, but you know how things go. Of course you have our full support if you’d like to fork Signal, name it something else, and use your own servers.

While that statement got plenty of thumbs down, I hate to admit that F-Droid is indeed out of date quite often. I currently can’t find a source for this but I once read this has something to do with their signing process.

Well, hardly any consumer actively buys Windows since it comes pre-installed on most PCs.

I swear it’s always Adblock Plus in memes about ad-blocking. Who makes these memes?
