raverbashing··on German implementation of eIDAS will require an Apple/Google account to function
Yes?

I don't think it's a bad idea though. If only for bringing the issue to the public

And while I do think an alternative would be good, the fact is that protecting the private key is the most important part (for example by keeping it on a smartcard with NFD) - hence why the need for a secure device

"but I want to install alternative Android etc etc" yes that's fine - but you know this is a non-secure-(enough) env.

raverbashing··on When legal sports betting surges, so do Americans' financial problems
And yet you can't do a quick Google search to understand that "expecting adults to act like adults" is a ridiculous idea when 80% of people have NPC agency

Prohibition was a mistake and it goes a long way of sorting how people will act stupid regardless

raverbashing··on Delve removed from Y Combinator
The investment details really depends on the term sheet details

And I don't think this is just not "getting locked out of the website", but losing the YC "nod" is a greater deal in itself

Never forget https://serverfault.com/questions/293217/our-security-audito...
raverbashing··on Delve removed from Y Combinator
Yes? I mean, 30U30 has probably some, let's say, "PR steering" behind it

Not "Pay2Win" but possibly something less involved

raverbashing··on Delve removed from Y Combinator
It's the polite way of saying goodbye when you actually mean "eff off"
raverbashing··on Tell HN: Anthropic no longer allowing Claude Code subscriptions to use OpenClaw
It looks like the chickens came to roost much earlier than expected, including the fall in RAM prices
raverbashing··on Critics say EU risks ceding control of its tech laws under U.S. pressure
WAY less than in the US

But no you don't have ambulance chasers or personal injury lawyers trying to get millions out of someone who had a car crash and now their neck feels funny

raverbashing··on Sweden goes back to basics, swapping screens for books in the classroom
Are you sure about books being good?
raverbashing··on Proton Meet Isn't What They Told You It Was
Maybe you need to use it over NordVPN to be really secure /s
raverbashing··on Proton Meet isn't what they told you it was
I just love people who go on their soapbox to complain about a newer alternative when the status quo is worse

"nooo but proton mail complies to court orders!!111" wow shocking I know right? Do you think the other providers don't?

These are usually the same people who forget rubber-hose decrypting works

"But they use LiveKitCloud" yes - however we don't know half the story

Can Proton BYOK over their infra?

LiveKit's website TOS with a generic user - not ProtonMail. We don't know if there are any agreements there

> "all disputes are governed by the laws of the State of California"

Yes this is common with TOS.

> Their privacy policy explicitly acknowledges FTC jurisdiction and states the company will "access, preserve, and disclose your information"

This is the important part, not the other one above it

> showed active connections to 161.115.177.32 on port 443, a LiveKit-owned IP block (ARIN OrgId LIVEK) hosted on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Good test, but what/where was the originating IP? Was it using Brave's VPN (to the US) by any chance?

TBH I'm still more annoyed about the 90 day cookie - that was just rude

So again "why don't we have better privacy respecting options?" Maybe because if we try to do it some "privacy advicates" will throw a massive fit complaining about all its shorcomings (and still not pay for the service)

raverbashing··on Artemis II's toilet is a moon mission milestone
Honestly replacing gravity with negative air pressure might have been the ideal solution

But I know that air is also a limited resource on space so it can't be solely an "airline-like system"

(Also discarding it "outdoors" might be the best solution in the end)

raverbashing··on Artemis computer running two instances of MS outlook; they can't figure out why
> it's status needs to be known and predictable by NASA

Ah yes but do you think MS gives a flap about this?

Same thing with the recent Fedramp certification. "Hey they're using it so we might as well certify"

TBH the problem is not the iPad here.

An offline iPad with a limited set of educational apps/books would be a good classroom aid

Of course, an iPad without those limits is bad

raverbashing··on IBM Announces Strategic Collaboration with Arm
But I wonder if this is "much better" than x86 emulation or virt?

Is there really SW that's limited to (Linux) ARM and not x86?

raverbashing··on Oracle slashes 30k jobs
And you know that they will be using Java 6 just because...
raverbashing··on Oracle slashes 30k jobs
Also their cloud

And all the supporting legal team of course.

raverbashing··on Axios compromised on NPM – Malicious versions drop remote access trojan
This is the difference between thinking about the user experience and thinking just about the technical aspect
raverbashing··on DigitalOcean Seeks $800M in Funding
yeah it's because Linode was more expensive and it had some security incidents
raverbashing··on Stripe withheld $85k from our EU platform
Yes

raverbashing··on My MacBook keyboard is broken and it's insanely expensive to fix
Apple can't even make their strain relief on their cables work properly due to "being ugly" so preferring them to USBC is just another case of Apple-juice-kool-aid
raverbashing··on C++26 is done: ISO C++ standards meeting Trip Report
Geez if Bjarne thinks it's

> bloated committee design and also incomplete

That's truly in that backdoor alley catching fire

raverbashing··on ‘Energy independence feels practical’: Europeans building mini solar farms
Might be cheaper than batteries, and if you can store it for 24h to compensate day/night cycles you're still making money
raverbashing··on A Faster Alternative to Jq
Yes

I don't think I remember one case where jq wasn't fast enough

Now what I'd really want is a jq that's more intuitive and easier to understand

raverbashing··on ‘Energy independence feels practical’: Europeans building mini solar farms
"If you find dollar bills on the ground you need to pay someone to collect it as litter"

Charge batteries, do electrolysis, or a multitude of other uses (I know some companies do that already)

raverbashing··on European Parliament decided that Chat Control 1.0 must stop
No, that was an ammendment
raverbashing··on The EU still wants to scan your private messages and photos
Yes the correct name would be "super/supra" national instead of ultra national
raverbashing··on The EU still wants to scan your private messages and photos
Yeah so this is about CC 1.0 (which already exists)

While it's still worth fighting, it is less worrying

The question of course is, why something is allowed multiple votes (and the basic answer is - if it presented some changed - but I don't know if it's the case)

raverbashing··on GrapheneOS refuses to comply with new age verification laws for operating system
More likely they will just add their own age widget themselves
raverbashing··on Delve – Fake Compliance as a Service
To me this is the money shot (but it takes a couple of passes to understand):

> No small amount of criticism of LLMs is downstream of past decisions to reify form over function, resulting in the substance having been optimized out. Now the LLM threatens to make the form available in seconds
