If Google could just fucking do RCS on Google voice, that’d be great

My very cursory glance at the paper is that basically they are encrypting live calls. Basically they are doing what zoom has been doing since the pandemic.

I wonder if these services are on small cloud providers. If so then they can just block their entire CIDR.

I wonder if they were to move to GPC if they would have better luck.

Their convoluted salary and options package was one of the driving reasons why I declined a job there.

When you look at the value proposition purely from a capitalistic standpoint, I get why scammers and black hats exist. I just wish they could point their weapons toward the 1% and pull something similar to a Mr. Robot and redistribute their wealth.

Fwiw there are a large number of people who volunteer their time and effort toward worthwhile projects. It’s just they don’t get rewarded anywhere near the level of benefit that they provide.

These are fucking kids. They are still learning what devices do and what their appropriate use is. If they are like me, they have probably already found ways to watch porn, monitor their crush’s computer, read their email, and get into their webcam.

It’s not lack of education.

It’s lack of impulse control.

Creative Commons-BY-NC would be better.

These are people writing laws about technology. They are absolute idiots.

Ubuntu is a good idea to get the money for the new building

They did a blog post about how the feds had made a second attempt to get metadata from them and they could only provide two fields of information: the date the account was created and the last time it connected to the service.

It’s in the public record as well if I’m not mistaken.

I’m pretty sure this will break the law of thermodynamics.

Is there anyway we can open source this technology? I’d love to surveil police and politician phones if possible.

So the MPA gives money to ACE to protect their copyright instead of investing it into a sustainable and equitable streaming service.

That just makes me want to pirate harder

Gates has good PR.

When I was growing up it was all Macs due to their scholastic program.

The problem is that I don’t want to only read news from one source. I also don’t want to pay 15 different news subscriptions.

If the same organization that shut down this repo would spend the time and money coming out with a joint account that was reasonably priced, people wouldn’t resort to piracy.

But nope. Each paper needs their own subscribers.

I believe that there is a project that aims to do just this but I can’t remember its name.

I’ve stopped buying TVs. It’s difficult to find a dumb one nowadays. I watch on my phone or my computer monitor.

In the world of Site Reliability Engineering, it’s better to fail than to be inconsistent.

So I suggest the opposite here. Start out by resolving the site 75% of the time. Then down to 20%, then 100%. Randomly make it not work with no predictably.

The great thing is if he uses his phone on a cellular network, he can’t be sure whether it’s because the site is working or because something hinky is going on in his network.
