  • Looking for ways the system can be abused and addressing those loopholes is basic risk assessment, so

    just shut up

    I strongly suggest taking a heaping helping of your own advice, mate.

  • What happens if someone is illegitimately removed from this database? How can you show whether it was a glitch, or deliberate? How do you know if the information they have about you is even right, or get it changed if you need to? Where's the accountability?

    See the UK Post Office accounting scandal, in which a persistent computer error went unfixed for decades and caused hundreds of post office employees to be fired and dragged through courts for corruption that never happened. A good chunk of them committed suicide. The government and the software company both knew about the bug causing the issue, too, but prosecutions continued. "If the computer says it, it must be right", sort of danger.

  • Yes, let's make sure we're on the same page. You're talking about theory, I'm talking about practice - which, in theory, are the same. In practice, however...

  • Starflight, on Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. The graphics don't look outdated, it just feels retro.

  • I didn't get my driver's license until very late in life, relatively speaking. Much older than you are now. I just never lived anywhere that I'd needed one. I really only got it because I felt like I should have one.

    Is that why you haven't yet, or are there other reasons (if I may ask)?

  • Printing minis on an FDM printer

    Jump

  • Damn, dude. I've been thinking about getting a 3D printer and was leaning towards resin because I heard it was better for minis, and I see how it's different, but these look perfectly fine and there's no fumes or toxic sludge to deal with. Since I mainly want it for printing household fixits and ease-of-use is a factor, being able to get back into tabletop gaming (and painting) as well is a very nice bonus. I feel pretty good about going with an FDM printer now, thanks for sharing!

  • Reminder: Proton Mail addresses have vendor lock-in

    Jump

  • That's the "special application" I mentioned, but it seems to have been updated since I last looked at it so it now offers the same level of encryption as the webmail app.

    I would prefer to see it freely available, but it doesn't seem foundational to using the service in any scenario - free accounts have the webmail and mobile clients, which are arguably both more flexible (and maintainable) than the Bridge.

  • Reminder: Proton Mail addresses have vendor lock-in

  • Thunderbird doesn't have your private key to decrypt your Proton emails. The key lives in your browser and in theory there's no way to securely provide that key to Thunderbird so it can do the decrypting. There's a special application they built for business owners who want this functionality, but by nature it breaks Proton's security because the email content is then stored in plaintext (or close enough) so it's not "secure" in the same sense Proton webmail is. (edit: maybe it got updates since I last looked, because the Bridge is now as secure as the webmail)

  • I 3d printed a custom sized keyboard using open source software and hardware designs.

    Jump

  • I normally use a Kinesis Advantage 2 (but in qwerty, unlike OP), and I can go back to a standard layout qwerty board with just a small adjustment period - I keep hitting "x" when I mean to hit "c", sort of thing. But it's an adjustment I can make "mid-stream" so to speak; I just use the board and get used to it again as I go.

    Being a moderator does not make your opinion better than anybody else's.

  • Consider that it's not Indian people you hate working for or with, but a particular behavior you've noticed and are attributing to people being of a particular race, instead of just them doing stuff you don't like.

    Don't come back with "but why is it only them" or something. It's definitely not. Just identify the behaviour and remember that is what you don't like, not the person's race specifically.

    You get people and habits you don't like from all cultures; that makes sense, as assholery knows no borders. But if you make it (the things you don't like, whatever they may be) about race, it's racist, so stop it. Unless you like the idea of being a racist, which it seems like you don't.

  • I did you one better, I looked at their reporting and changed my opinion. Targeting smaller journals and papers is a disturbing trend amongst a number of disturbing trends in Europe.

  • Disinformation is not journalism. Edit: and I don't think this is disinformation. I understand why Germany would want to avoid the appearance of going against Israel, but this isn't the way to do it.

    Developing situation and I'm not laser-focused on it (I have other stuff on my mind like a broken bone and the fascism going on) hence "may", but this ^ is what I'm going off. Don't get me wrong, I run GrapheneOS myself and it's a great daily driver; I've just been looking for alternatives because of this news.
