The FBI also doesn’t want back doors… They just want a way for law enforcement to access any encrypted messages they want to.

Also pro-privacy, here. I was unable to get a good answer on this on HN. It seems to me that replacing a human entering data into a computer at the checkpoint with a computer entering data into a computer at the checkpoint wasn’t much of a change. The whole checkpoint area is already bristling with cameras, as well.

The closest we have to 555 is any social security number that starts with 9. Kinda dull. The closest one we have to a joke is probably 078-05-1120.

Should have stayed on until musk booted them. Missed opportunity. Also X needs more counter-content, not less.

Like with spam and its basically zero conversion rate, yes. But I’ve seems to remain clear of it in the tags I follow. So far.

When I see this kind of thing, I think, “Screw that. I want to listen to real people.” But then I wonder if that’s because I’m GenX shaking my fist at cloud and in the future will this become normalized or even demanded?

I just hope that the fediverse stays small enough to remain an undesirable target for AI slop mongers.

Most of my code and some non-code is under ~/src, but I have repos scattered all around for other things.

I don’t care what they do as long as they do it over there.

I think the difference is scale. Before it was x% of humanity making shitting opinions where x < 100. Now it’s x% of humanity+AI, where x is, say, 100,000% of humanity. I don’t think we’re currently equipped to separate the wheat from that much chaff.

I’d say it’s more intolerably long copyright terms than the DMCA specifically.

Yes, it is. I just need to know that the passkeys are in that file and that all the apps I use to read that file support them.

I don’t entirely disagree, but I think defining much of that in effective legal terms is going to be virtually impossible. And I’m super-wary of anything that says someone can’t link to something.

Just be careful how you do it. The First Amendment gives a lot of leeway for people to be shitty.

I need to sync my passkeys between all my devices–which really means I need keepass to store the private keys in its DB so I can sync it with all the other keepass-compatible apps I use in various places. Last I looked, this wasn’t solved, but it’s been a minute. I’m certainly not using a centralized password manager unless they all can freely import and export from one another. I understand this is a “being worked on” problem.

So someday, yes.

If you get my master keepass password, you have all my passwords, too.

I agree they should. But I also agree they shouldn’t be required to. And if they don’t, that we should just live with it as the lesser of two evils.

A) I don’t think there’s anything illegal, here, and B) of course large private agencies manipulate elections, from news agencies to SuperPACs to social media, and C) there’s not a heck of a lot we can do about that.

The best thing we can do is smarten up and think for ourselves. In short, we’re doomed!😅

Hmm. I have a bumper sticker that says “I ❤️ Nuclear War”. I wonder what bucket that puts me in.
