I don’t see it catching on at all… I think forcing people to record themselves is asking way too much, and not everyone uses the command-line or the same application/machine for everything. Plus they acknowledge that it can be faked and that LLMs can/will get better at faking it.

Proving a request came from a human is a many-billion dollar task right now, and nobody seems close at all to coming up with a workable solution. The only thing even remotely feasible (IMO) that I’ve seen so far (and which still doesn’t actually prove anything) is charging money for accounts. But tons of people still don’t want to do that, even though it would lessen the amount of bots and make it easier to ban bad behavior if everyone needed an account to access a site. I don’t like that option, but it is an option. Making payments on the web easier (and less tied to the whims of Visa et al) probably also needs to happen.

When I try to save files from the Media tab from this site, all of them fail

Doesn’t explain how to use it at all. Tried clicking on the extension in the toolbar, nothing happens.

I need something that works on lazy-loading carousels and automatically grabs all the images that are linked through another lazy-loaded lightbox you have to click on for each one.

Compared to DDG-noAI: zero 3rd party requests.

No need when they’re already selling your search habits from the backend.

Companies don’t like legally-questionable (in their mind at least) licenses. If you look at the people who use this license, it’s mostly very small personal projects.

I think that assumes that people are actually auditing all the code, and carefully enough. I think most people greatly overestimate how much code is actually ever audited.

But if the definition of viable is merely “open source”… there are many other such operating systems out there.

At the same time you also have many people who will claim that software with government contribution is automatically compromised.

KDE members have also been seen calling people fascists and nazis, so there’s that. Personally I try to steer clear of any projects with such drama.

Linux is the only viable operating system that is not vulnerable to US government sponsored supply chain attacks

Well I certainly don’t agree with that, and in many cases (at least with specific Linux distros) I would even argue it IS vulnerable already. Maybe we have different definitions of “viable” or something. The Linux kernel itself has also been forced to make political decisions at the demand of the United States, such as removing support for Russian CPUs (but somehow Chinese ones are A-OK).

Curious how large organizations are dealing with the lack of tight group policy control that they’re used to on Windows, and users having far more options for circumventing any given restriction.

Why is it “weird”? It has been around much longer AFAIK.

no screenshots?

• you need predictable latency

• you don’t want garbage collection

• you don’t like MS

• toolchain doesn’t exist for your target

FreeBSD is way better in security record

After accounting for the massive difference in number of eyeballs actually looking for vulns?

“I have nothing to hide”… “ok, pull down your pants and hand me your unlocked phone.”

Signal is obviously a honeypot

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

The new app design will still be necessary if that were to become a feature, so this is a halfway step either way.

One thing this lets people do is utilize burner numbers without a physical phone tied to it. They can use their provider’s web-based UI to receive text messages for the signal confirmation, but can then use the app solely from a desktop.

This also paves the way for an official command-line client, library or SDK that could be used for automation.

I just use SimpleX for kid stuff. No phone/numbers necessary, just uses random QR codes as the identifier, makes sharing and setup very easy.

And how might that be accomplished? It’s not like emulators expose some common API that allows programs to record its output.
