- Comment on Total fabrication 3 days ago:
No, a native (Windows at least) application with print support also has the ability to print to PDF just like the browser does.
- Comment on Total fabrication 3 days ago:
I mean why would you build some PDF export stuff when this basic functionality is already available in most browsers.

Why cant farmers just set their alarm an hour earlier though, no need to drag everyone else into this

I had no idea that happened until right now lol
- Comment on Move over powered milk, it onion time 1 week ago:
Oh yeah personally I would also choose an onion over a century egg, but if eating multiple is an option I’d give it a shot.

It’s not spoiled, it’s preserved
- Comment on Firefox’s new ad tries to remind you of a time before the internet sucked. 1 week ago:
Yes but Google doesn’t have any say over features Mozilla implements. However yes, Mozilla has been going in the wrong direction entirely without Google’s involvement for a while now. But it’s still better than supporting Google’s ecosystem.

Maybe it’s a franchise, making this guy technically a small business owner? Not familiar with zing btw

When i was in sweden they said apparently a lot of pin terminals come with the tip screen as default, but everyone just expects you to press skip.

You’re getting into limiting free speech area there, im sure a lot of people would be very against something like that, however good the intentions may be.

As a guy with long hair i can tell you i would be pissed if they shaved my head while an alternative was available.

- Comment on So Austistici/Inventati just got designated as a "global terrorist organisation" by the Trump administration, what do I do now? 2 months ago:
Yes I know how mail encryption works. The point is that mails get encrypted as soon as they enter mailbox’ servers, so mailbox can never know any contents, so they have nothing to hand over to authorities if they come asking. They do have to know the private key used for this though, that is a risk to consider. Of course, if you want fully secure mail, you need both parties agreeing on encrypting/decrypting the mail. Or just don’t use email, use a secure protocol instead.
- Comment on So Austistici/Inventati just got designated as a "global terrorist organisation" by the Trump administration, what do I do now? 2 months ago:
No, that’s not how it works. If you set up mailbox encryption (mailbox guard), you set up (or let mailbox.org generate) a pgp keypair. Any time you want to read an email, you have to unlock the key first. This way you can use regular imap, the body of emails will just arrive encrypted (and optionally the subjects as well I believe), you only need a pgp decryption tool to read the mails (which Thunderbird/K9 supports out of the box (with OpenKeychain on Android)).

I don’t care. I didn’t buy a dishwasher because i still wanted to had wash some. If it doesn’t survive the dishwasher i don’t want it.
- Comment on Test your might 2 months ago:
My knife handles are fine after years of dishwasher, what kind of dishwasher are you using??
- Comment on So Austistici/Inventati just got designated as a "global terrorist organisation" by the Trump administration, what do I do now? 2 months ago:
It is openpgp, but I’m not aware of another mail provider that allows you to encrypt every mail when it arrives. Mailbox.org does have to manage this key though of course, but it can be a separate one from what you use to sign / encrypt sent emails.

I won’t comment on the Proton thing as the other replies already explained it well.
IMAP is weak security since it uses basic authentication, so I’m not sure why you think integrated support for IMAP makes a service better or more secure.
IMAP does not make it more secure, it makes it so that you can use any email client and aren’t tied in to their proprietary apps, like you are with Proton. You either need their desktop app or their bridge.
IMAP having weak security is not an issue (also I’m not aware that it has, you can use imap with plenty of authentication options), because all of your emails are encrypted if you set it up correctly. Someone could steal my every single transaction with mailbox.org and not be able to do anything with the data.
- Comment on So Austistici/Inventati just got designated as a "global terrorist organisation" by the Trump administration, what do I do now? 2 months ago:
I’ve been happy with mailbox.org so far. They offer full mailbox encryption, but unlike proton still support regular imap and smtp. You just need a mail client that supports pgp en/decryption (thunderbird does, both desktop and android).
- Comment on Stop Killing Games join lawsuit against the PlayStation Store's "Sony Tax," in latest venture beyond game preservation 2 months ago:
that Sony wields monopoly power by only making digital PlayStation games available through its own store
Isn’t this also the case with Xbox and Nintendo? AFAIK on those platforms you can also only buy games on their stores. Not saying that makes it okay, just wondering why they’re not being sued as well.
- Comment on What are these brownish speckles on my polyester shirt? How to get it off? 2 months ago:
Care to explain pretty much anything from your comment? Why is the regular program not good? Why does it matter if you’re using it in the US? And which setting should I use instead? Should it be warmer, colder, less/more centrifuge?

I’m not defending anything lol, I’m just saying this surveillance doesn’t add a whole lot to the existing surveillance as far as I can tell, which is already pretty bad.
- Comment on Local Walmart just installed cameras in the aisles… 2 months ago:
The only part of that not really possible with ceiling cameras is eye tracking, you don’t need eye-level cameras for the other two.

That’s what I was thinking. If I saw a sign like this, with some mysterious text with no translation, I would definitely want to know what it says.
