E2EE seems like it should be table stakes in 2025, but it's just one or two people making it happen.

I liked linuxbrew up until it set up python in a way that broke a lot of apps for me. I keep meaning to give it another try, but there are only so many hours.

Gamers in general are not looking at Apple's chips.

The only way there'd be shockwaves is if it turned out to be Theo de Raadt.

It allows full RCE from an uploaded or opened file. That seems reasonably critical to me.

Thats.. in bad faith.

If thats the qualification for "remote" then you can say that every attack is remote and it clearly isnt.

Does this work with .pdf files? i.e. attacker uploads evil.pdf

The best modern reason to have as much swap as RAM is to make hibernation to disk more reliable, but a lot of people don't use that anymore. It's more reliable because the kernel doesn't have to work as hard to find space to write the system image to.

How does that explain the focus on gender? Admittedly there are countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia where there might be laws about what you're allowed to show women.

It'd be more remarkable for a Western company to not be focused on gender.

The thing I never hear mentioned is when your home ISP (or say your favorite cafe's) is known to use your traffic data for marketing purposes or sell it outright. I trust Mullvad farther than I trust my ISP. I could switch ISPs, but my only option is Comcast and they're even sleazier.

David Weber actually wrote a series once where aliens (actually humans) hollowed out the Moon (dumping the material into the sun) to use the rest as camouflage for a Moon-sized spaceship hiding from other aliens (actually aliens). It was pretty clearly him taking the p*ss on the entire topic, but it's seen multiple editions and I believe is still in print. I guess there's something about the idea that attracts some people?

"Judge Kimberly Adams agreed to admit evidence of King’s cellphone." So no, at least the judge for this case decided it was fine. Note as well that the case is over the Cop City protests, not even a criminal endeavor. Literally going to a protest without a smartphone is being presented as evidence of criminal intent.
