Don’t start reading, it gets blurry at middle (unless you login I suppose).

There was the requirement for x86, by Microsoft, during the Windows 8 times, that Secure Boot to be possible to deactivate in the BIOS. That is no longer the case. https://www.techspot.com/news/60132-microsoft-leaving-option...

They removed the requirement of Secure Boot being deactivable from OEM requirements.

That made no sense. MS is in the business of making software easier to make, so it makes all the sense.

Are you sure you aren't a reverse shill? :)

I prefer the variant: "It’s not that I have something to hide. I have nothing I want you to see."

It's clearer on what the problem is.

They don't inject their own ads in webpages.

Not a scientist. The text is so farfetched that even being generated by GPT-3 seems out of the question.

I also use Fastmail but can’t commit to it due to Australia’s ‘new’ snooper charter: https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/auhwq6/australian_... Looking at Sovereign Email now.

Android app? Which one?

TL;DR: Reverse SSH using an helper along the way?

IDK, but it's because security.

Judging by the title, it helps avoiding ROP: "Return-oriented programming is a computer security exploit technique that allows an attacker to execute code in the presence of security defenses such as executable space protection and code signing." (Wikipedia)

What's their business model?

At least they warned.

It was not just LTS. The rumor [1] was:

From the linked email:

  > As a result, they are thinking about restricting ALL Qt releases to paid license holders for the first 12 months.
  > They are aware that this would mean the end of contributions via Open Governance in practice.

I'd venture to say this means: open-source repo will be kept public.

Will we be able to match a Qt release with the corresponding source?

FYI, the delay of source availability of future Qt releases is not clear.

Last public discussion about the subject, to my knowledge: https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-community/2020q2/006098.h...

How old are you? I’m in my thirties and if someone left a mean anonymous note about me I would be pissy about that for a few years before I’d find it mildly amusing. Congrats! (in case there is doubt: not being sarcastic)

I dislike a lot Feedly, almost like Inoreader and kinda like bazqux.

Not sure why though.

Depends on what you want. Personally, I use Gandi Webmail [1] which provides SOGo groupware [2].

NOTE: it is not as AJAXy as Gmail.

My threat model is: governments can read my email but that will incur a cost, a timelapse and a judge -- not just a point and click mega-spy interface.

I want to bash Trump's latest haircut without fear of incoming, frivolous litigation.

I do, however, expect consequences if I do something really stupid.

How’s the Australian spy law [1] thing?

Yes.

I shouldn’t have clicked Submit - it was out of frustration.

It’s one of those things we won’t know except in hindsight.

So: frustrated at the situation and at the article and at my inability to grasp what the hell is going on on markets. Misquoting Scott Adams, we have now Confusomarkets. Though probably they were always confusing but the more I try to interpret them logically the more duped by them I am.

The only move is to be cynical, which gets me depressed.

You assume everyone has permission to install software :)

Credit cards counts as well. Probably cards in general.

I would like to know too. I read someone on social media alleging they also used Bing behind the scenes, without attribution, but I haven’t researched further.

> but because Brave can swap my ads with its own. This is theft!

AFAIK this is not true. To get in-page ads, you (the page owner) have to opt-in and will be paid over 60% of the profit.

Option 2 gives the other side time to fight back, with much more resources than you have.

Option 3: pick the lesser evil, not the best option. Cut the money/power flow for the incumbent parties. Force them to compete. It is my hope for democracy's purpose - to force competition at governent level.

I think Firefox still needs performance improvement on the graphical side on Windows.

Chrome somehow bypasses compositing [it is a white window on OBS screen recorder].

Firefox seems to only get fast when I disable Windows animations; otherwise gets sluggish as soon as more than 4 tabs open.

AzireVPN. Another one was mentioned in the thread. Mullvad?
