sadfklsjlkjwt··on Assange Trial Day 18
The whole US system considers it OK to use solitary confinement. But solitary confinement is a breech of basic human rights. So every US system is in breech until solitary confinement stops.

The existence of an extradition treaty doesn't mean that UK courts are compelled to extradite anyone until/unless US prisons cease breeching basic human rights.

US prisons universally break basic human rights...

There should be no extradition to the USA whatsoever until they stop doing so.

What's the lower proportion renewable sources produced in the last 12 months (in one minute intervals)? If that is much lower than 90% you have to have some other source (or accept frequent randomish power cuts).

> I spent a long time working on things like Wayland and next-generation graphics technology

This is really sad. You are insulting and dismissing technology which did something well over 20 years ago that you think is not possible today. And instead of thinking "hmm maybe I should look at the older technology and see how it did it" you just dismiss it as a "meme" and tell people that the actual technology they used is impossible. So much effort is wasted in our industry because of NIH syndrome...

I seriously hope that the Wayland people didn't just completely ignore the positives of Xwindows!

You originally posted a response to this.

> Rulings of the constitutional court have almost no real life consequences. If there is a negative ruling the parliament is given ample time before the unconstitutional law must be replaced. If there is any replacement within that time, the same law, formulated differently, is passed.

To say that the court does have power. But your example is an example of exactly what the OP was saying happens!

sadfklsjlkjwt··on Looking back at how Signal works
That is the same thing. The messages were stored on your phone never on any "account". The desktop was only ever a mirror of the phone. This is explicitly how Signal works. WhatsApp works the same way.

If you did not delete the Signal directory on your phone then there should be some old backups with your messages there. These will be encrypted so you will need to original password to unencrypt them.

Unless the build is reproducible it would be smart for a paranoid person to use the published source code only as a comparison with the decompiled app.

> Or you can go to a corner shop and buy a Lyca or Lebara SIM with cash. No need to give them your address. You can buy top ups in cash as well. At least in Western Europe this is available everywhere, pretty much.

This is not legal in Norway.
