Yeah. That’s the story.
We need to ensure the government only uses open source tools and we need more funding for security audits.
- Comment on Here's the source code for the unofficial Signal app used by Trump officials 1 day ago:
Probably they need a way to archive it where the used can’t enable or disable archiving
- Comment on Here's the source code for the unofficial Signal app used by Trump officials 1 day ago:
The government is buying it. And cryptocurrency companies. That’s a lot of money and a lot of eyes.
- Comment on Here's the source code for the unofficial Signal app used by Trump officials 1 day ago:
If its open source and audited, it doesn’t matter.
- Comment on Here's the source code for the unofficial Signal app used by Trump officials 1 day ago:
Apparently archives.
I guess its a legal requirement.

That will never happen

Solar panels are enough for power during the day.

Microgrids with solar panels on every residential home is key

This is bullshit. Everywhere I was in Scandinavia, you could buy with cash. If one shop didn’t take cash, you just went across the street to the other that did.
Even Scandinavia isn’t stupid enough to become 100% cashless
- Comment on When society completely transitions to cash-less, what happens when the power goes down? End of the world? 2 days ago:
Fortunately this would never happen, for the reason you listed. Cash is king and always will be.

This happened in Ukraine when they were attacked with a cyberweapon (NotPetya) by Russia in 2017
If you want to know what happens, I highly recommend listening to this episode of Darknet Diaries

Are your coworkers 16? I dont understand.
Maybe just be friends with older coworkers?
- Comment on How do I decrease acne after shaving my face? 1 week ago:
I find that trimming (using scissors instead if a blade) significantly reduces the self-harm caused to your body by running a blade against your skin
- Comment on Why am I seeing political ads for Donald Trump in April of the year of his second inauguration? 1 week ago:
Because you’re not blocking ads.
- Comment on Trump DOJ goon threatens Wikipedia 1 week ago:
It depends where the domain is registered. The US can’t steal the domain from a German registrar.
And even if the domain name got stolen, they dont need to clone it. Just put it behind a new domain name. It would cause maybe 24 hours of downtime.
MediaWiki is already a global org. Even if all their US staff was arrested and the US servers seized, the rest of the team abroad would still be working.

- Comment on When the world connected on Skype 1 week ago:
Does it require a monthly fee? Does it cost the same as Skype? Skype was like less than ten cents per minute, pay as you go.

- Comment on When the world connected on Skype 1 week ago:
None of those can call phone numbers. They’re not replacements for Skype.
- Comment on When the world connected on Skype 1 week ago:
Damn. I have like a hundred bucks of Skype credit on my account. What happens to that money?
- Comment on When the world connected on Skype 1 week ago:
You can’t call regular phone lines with WhatsApp, teams, slack, or zoom. None of those are replacements for sjyoe.

XMPP is still here…
- Comment on When the world connected on Skype 1 week ago:
Isnt it still the best platform for RT audio calls on shitty Internet?
And how am I supposed to call non-US numbers from my computer now?!?

All money will be diverted to Space Force and SpaceX.
Because military. And because Musk needs more money.
