Would you trust this “wallet” tho lol
Hell no. I just kicked Google out of my life for the same crap. Ugh. But I’ll laugh too, because it’s either that or cry.

I wouldn’t trust them as a lone voice on something, but if other groups come to the same conclusion, sure.
As a Privacy nerd, I agree with the conclusions in the article, for what it’s worth. We do see a lot of “privacy” law proposals lately that are anything but.
I don’t think things will get better, on this front, until the average person better understands privacy rights and risks.
I can’t say I’m shocked. But I am disappointed.
I would love to see the certificate authority model become less and less important.
“Can you write a small check to an organization we are all pretty sure isn’t outright malicious?”
Is a surprisingly good pragmatic protection against malicious SSL certificates, I will admit.
But there’s significant flaws with the approach - notably power dynamics and creation of large scary targets for bad actors.
I would love to see CA acceptance move from PASS/FAIL to a dynamic risk score, that is based on my own browsing behavior (calculated solely within my browser).
If I spend 90% of my time browsing domains at example(dot)mycorporation(dot)com, there’s a great chance that anything new signed by the same authorities can be automatically trusted.
It would still put a lot of power in the hands of Amazon and Google, but would reduce that power in scale to the amount of services they’re actually providing to each user.
That’s heartbreaking. Radio Shack was so fun, while it lasted.
Netflix can’t do what got them to the top.
They can’t grow that way but they could easily hold on and remain profitable, popular and successful.
They were well on their way to enjoying “Kleenex” or “Oreo” stable market success, but their leadership and shareholders apparently aren’t satisfied with winning.
I’ll take “Organizations that made it to the top by doing something different, only to fall under leadership that doesn’t understand what made them successful and descend into ruins” for 200, Alex.
Seriously, Jeopardy team - this is a rich category:
I’ve not worked with a marketing team where that would work, but maybe it will for some.
I’ve never been anywhere that I thought it would work, but it ultimately did, almost everywhere.
I’ve found it takes a few iterations, but the marketing folks in on it love being the ones who actually can reliably deliver on their promises.
It doesn’t work for the marketers that promise whatever they please without talking to dev, but I don’t find them to be worthwhile professional allies, so I don’t sweat it.
It doesn’t change the “massive customer will only renew if” scenario, though.
Very true. It doesn’t help with that case, and that one does happen. I’ve had the best luck saying “we don’t do that, but we’re scrambling to add it” in that situation.
The stupidly easy solution is to just give them stuff that has already been successfully delivered to production to market, 9 months from now. There’s invariably a huge backlog of years worth of successes that marketing wasn’t even aware of.
“No deviations will be approved from this year’s Agile product roadmap!”
“extra fingers, too many fingers, not toasted, bad anatomy,” got me. It’s perfect.
Also, your username is perfect for this moment.
NDISWrapper was a big turning point for me - the first time I got Linux working and kept it for the life of the hardware, it was due to NDISWrapper.
I hope I’m rocking that hard at 84.
My next non-alcohol bubbly drink will be in your honor, Larry.
Great summary bot, as ever. But missed this absolute gem from the comments:
“Thanks for helping me wardrive and steal the WiFi from that dentist, Larry.”
Oof. But yeah. Fair.
I want to go on record that sometimes I just wear sandals with socks.
Vampire Survivors isn’t that old yet, right?
It’s such a good Robotron clone.
Rock and stone, brother!
It works fine for anyone with the foresight to be born into an ultra wealthy family.
Sweet. Welcome to the cult of Debian.
We (Debian users and contributors) are inevitable. Our quiet satisfied computing cannot be stopped, only delayed.
We should consider getting some fancy robes and a few club houses, though. The only thing that can make Debian better is cookies and tea.
