There are a surprising number of grammatical errors in that blog post. Did anyone proof read it, I wonder?

I dont know if they can see my content but I dont think they do.
From what I understand, they should still be able to see your content — you are still posting to the network.
You can always ask the folks on .ml for they make the software.
Ha, well, @[email protected] is a moderator of this community.
So, IIUC, you’re saying that if a user on A browses a community on C, they will never see a user from B?
For sure. What the aforementioned bits of information provide is the ability to be confident in the privacy of software if one were to treat it as a black box, ie an average consumer.
Hm, I feel that it’s inaccurate to say “we wouldn’t be able to tell”. It’s not exactly a black box system — the app would have to run on an operating system, and if you are able to know what the operating system is doing, and what instructions are being executed by the CPU, then you can know exactly what the app is doing.
What the aforementioned bits of information provide is the ability to treat software as a black box and be sure of its safety without having to fundamentally audit it.
Yeah, take a look at the solution at the top of the post.
We’re constantly running out; but every fes years, we figure out a new way to extract more oil/make do with the addresses we currently have.
It’s a supply and demand situation. We run out of things not only when they are physically exhausted, but also when it’s not economically viable to find ways to make more. But when demand increases enough, it will eventually become economically viable again.
Windows -> Ubuntu -> Arch Linux
Without it being open source and not providing reproducible builds, the privacy claims are borderline weightless.
I don’t click on clickbait i’m absolutely sure it’s misleading or wrong.
Well, if you didn’t click on it, then you can’t be sure — it’s just a presumption.
If someone has a valid point, tone it way down, i don’t expect anything serious out of it.
How do you mean?
Manufacturing and boot processes have to be modified to make sure nothing leaks out and everything stays put.
Meaning that software like systemd-crytpenroll would need to be updated to support this? I suppose what I’m trying to ask is this: As a user, if I want to set up full disk encryption using a TPM (1.2 or 2.0?) module, would I need to do anything different/novel during installation if I wanted to ensure that the bus is encrypted? And, if so, what would I need to do?
TPM bus is not encrypted on Windows too and you can break into bitlocker protected laptop.
By chance, do you have an official source from Microsoft that states that? I was unable to find any official documentation to clarify that when I looked.
This video that you linked is the same video that I linked close to the end of my post.
I like your idea of “natural selection” for OSS, but I’m not sure I understand the parallel that you are drawing between democracy and natural selection. Would you mind elaborating?
Is that a bad thing? Why is it a problem that you, personally, haven’t heard the argument before?
Nearly 90% of their servers are blocked to do common internet tasks .
Perhaps your browsing habits are severely impacted by Mullvad being blocked, but that doesn’t seem to be the universal case. I’ve had the occasional hiccup with a few sites that block VPNs (Mullvad’s IPs), but “90%” is quite an exaggeration when compared to my personal experience.
Correct…? I’m not sure what your point is.
It’s direct democracy
Maybe some projects, but that certainly can’t be said for all open source projects. Also note that “open source” in “open source software” is simply the license that makes it so. This idea of governance is more of a project issue than a software distribution issue.
I won’t watch this clickbait
Are you referring the title here on Lemmy (ported from YouTube), or are you referring to any video, in general, that uses this practice? If it’s the latter, why punish the creator? The need for clickbait is more of an environmental requirement for success created by YouTube. I can’t fault a creator for trying to succeed.
forks who succeed the prior are exactly what we call democracy.
Hm. Democracy, by definition, is rule by the majority. A smaller fork gradually becoming larger and more successful than the prior, thereby eating up a larger chunk of the market, is really more of an example of competition. The larger fork doesn’t have any say over the smaller forks. It is somewhat of an analogy to democracy, perhaps, in that people “vote with their feet” by moving to the fork that they want to succeed, but it breaks down in that you don’t have one, or the other — both can exist in tandem.
Hm, it depends on the context. Any open source project, or fork thereof would be an independent isolated instance with it’s own practices — e.g. authoritarian, anarchist, democratic, etc.
Ah, right. I forgot that they’re based in Sweden. That’s understandable if it’s simply a lack of familiarity with the language, but, still, I would expect a company like Mullvad to at least have one native-equivalent English speaker to look over their public facing English stuff. None of this is the end of the world, ofc — I’m just mildly surprised.
