True, but revolt seems to be using AGPL themselves, so I doubt it would be an issue for them.
> If the software is open source i may not receive any updates regardless

If the software is open source, anybody can update it. I use a cellphone from 2012 whose manufacturer abandonned a few years after release. This year alone I got 2 updates for it because I'm running the e.foundation /e/ OS. This wouldn't be possible had AOSP not being open source or its bootloader was locked.

Governments are the source of the biggest [substitute many things here]. They're going to be powerful no matter what. It's silly to say in a blanket statement that "more power" is going to end poorly. Many groups with competing interest will appeal to the government. That the government power supports one interest is not inherently bad. Aside from this supporting one interest doesn't require the zero-sum exclusion of a competing interest.
> An OGNL injection vulnerability exists that would allow an authenticated user, and in some instances unauthenticated user, to execute arbitrary code on a Confluence Server or Data Center instance.

So, to me, that "by default" is all you need to know. Plus, perhaps, enough awareness of how society works to realize that literally any default configuration can be overruled by a court order.

In other jurisdictions, such as the USA, it doesn't even require that.

And, while I am not the kind of person who saves these things for later, so perhaps it was different 4 years ago, but the current version has the bog-standard - and therefore completely forgettable - disclaimer about complying with legal obligations that you see in every such policy. And since it is such a bog-standard thing, I would assume it was always there, though, of course, it's not the kind of thing I would have noticed and remarked upon, let alone remembered, when I originally read it.

Which has me wondering, what exactly is the ask here? That they include a full copy of the privacy policy on every single marketing page, so that nobody can get up in arms about how they didn't mention every single detail on whatever subset of pages they happened to read while signing up whenever something they didn't anticipate happens?

As much as I love to hate Atlassian, I feel like complaining about Atlassian is like techies complaining about management in general. Every single anecdote is both terrible and true, but it's not quite as easy as it seems to do it better.
Or, just disable all kinds of access that compromises privacy. So for example, only allow connections through tor. Dont expect users to be educated. Build a product that makes it extremely hard to do the wrong thing. So privacy and security by default.

You build more renewables than you need for electricity production and use it to generate hydrogen for agriculture and industry 99% of the time. When you really hit the yearly peak you can a) turn the electrolysers off and if that's not enough b) use some of the hydrogen to generate electricity.

Of course, if you're lucky, then you can get by with just the renewables and sell all your hydrogen for other uses but when that 1 in 10 year event happens you can get away without burning too much fossil gas and paying the carbon fee associated with it.

I view this as a breaking change in the behaviour of many internet servers, which happened to be motivated by security. Which is different from fixing the security of the software on the device.

Some other examples of non security issues that might require modifications:

* Widespread adoption hosting multiple services on the same IP, relying on SNI for TLS to function. While this is in TLS as well, it's not a security issue. In practice it was adopted slowly enough that it didn't cause many problems

* A quick switch from IPv4 to IPv6 (lol)

* Y2K (happened before smartphones)

* timezone database changes (e.g. if the EU abolishes DST)

* Regulatory changes (e.g. which frequencies the phone may send on)

* A third party service the phone relies on for essential functionality gets shut down

And nothing about what happens when you create a society where those with greater physical prowess prevail over the weaker? Guns are an equalizer.

Yes, we have a high murder rate, but other violent crime is lower than average--because the possibility of the victim being armed is a deterrent. Some years ago we had a burglar on our block, pretty obviously a local. Notably, every house that was hit was a place with nobody who appeared to have any combat capability and were people I would consider very unlikely to have a gun. Chance? I think not.

I'd worry more about state level proliferation. The blanket Pu from a fast breeder is super weapon grade, with very low higher isotope concentrations.

In any case, breeders mean the claim that existing nuclear technology, and in particular France's existing nuclear technology, can do it are wrong. France's breeder effort was a spectacular failure that they've now abandoned.
In terms of Austrian economics, Modern Monetary Theory is really just improving the past 50 years of money printing by directing some of the proceeds to go to individuals. At least it is intellectually consistent, which is more than can be said about the past few decades of Wall Street welfare plus Main Street austerity.
1. 100 euros is a lot of money to the poorest people in society. Many of them can't afford a car or dishwasher.

2. "longevity" means nothing when most people keep dropping their phone. Even used phones that appear perfect can start bootlooping months after buying because of damage caused by the first owner and the eBay seller won't accept returns by than, even if you could prove it was not caused by you.

> 7 years of software updates

I read this as requiring some software on the device to be updated every now and again for 7 years. I believe most Androids receive updates on the bundled Google apps for approximately that time period.

The article isn't the proposed law, which probably has a more precise requirement.

If it were me, I'd require software updates for devices with known vulnerabilities putting a typical user at risk. And software updates to allow for newer standards compatibility (eg TLS, WiFi protocols, API versions for apps) where typical users are likely to be impacted by not having the new version.

I would start the 7 year countdown from the date that the device disappears from most shops (so exclude specialist eBay stores that allow enthusiasts to buy old devices).
I haven't used Discord or Matrix in a while so please forgive me if I have this wrong, but just reading this comment and the parent comment, the only difference there seems to be that the Matrix voice room can (optionally) be coupled to a text chat room, whereas Discord cannot do this, and the voice chat rooms there are always separate. That actually seems like Discord is doing worse here, if you were aiming for maximum flexibility. (Maybe you aren't, I don't know)
Yeah. Real nice to go to the extremes. What's next on your argument list...that we should all kill ourselves and there won't be any supply and demand and therefore have a permanent solution?

No. What I am saying is that if you are only earning $5,000 per year, you should go out of business, because clearly, that person is a horrible business person. Maybe he is not doing any marketing. Maybe horrible food with substandard ingredients. Maybe he never heard of the maxim "location, location, location." Maybe he never cleans the restaurant and it is a filthy mess and has a filthy bathroom (I've been to restaurants like this, and immediately walk out - if they can't clean the bathroom, what does their kitchen look like?). Maybe he spending extravagantly on stuff that doesn't make a difference. Maybe he has too many employees.

I used to live in San Francisco, which is a real foodie town. People go out to the restaurants all the time - plenty of people, and lots and lots of small restaurants. And there were restaurants opening and closing all the time, and there were restaurants that have been open for 100 years.

The restaurant business is one of the most unforgiving industries that one can get into. But, there is no reason at all to go out of business, unless one needs to go out of business because they are a shitty business person, or if tastes and mores have changed, whatever.

One really should write integration tests for dependencies. I think it is the least we can do for ourselves as well as the dependencies. Without it, the contract is basically whatever happened to work at the time you used it.

I would assume the former as they used Monero predominantly, which would not discourage anyone because Monero users understand how little accountability there is and when it applies, and because of the amounts.

At this amount, the only conspiracy would be that this will be used by the IRS to convince Congress that it needs a larger budget to do more of this kind of investigation, because cryptocurrencies are going private, finally.
Right to repair is nearly meaningless on the budget-end as a repair guy will charge £50 to £100 for the labour plus parts with their own mark-up.

TLS adoption has been surprisingly slow historically. I don't know if any phones were affected. But .net on Windows 7 ran into issues with TLS deprecation (TLS 1.2 was disabled by default). And I think Windows update on Windows 7 and/or 8 broke due to upgraded certificate hashes.

That's an extremely expansive definition of "two-way", to the point of meaninglessness. If you were to bite this bullet, you'd also preclude the type of extremely basic work to get informed that any patient should be doing when engaging with the healthcare system (including for physical health). Basic research about your health problems doesn't even preclude putting full faith in your doctor and his recommendations; they're helpful in the general case for even understanding conversations with him. And this type of web search provides infinitely more "two-way" loss of privacy than signal from tiktok recommendations.

This is worth elaborating on, since I know HN tends to have a bizarre fantasy conception of the medical system where patients arent supposed to understand anything that's happening. I have to wonder if the HNers contributing to this conception have ever engaged with the medical system, or if they have, I have to pity those that they're responsible for.

There are plenty of doctors in my family, and I've been responsible for managing both chronic and severe acute health issues for family members. Every single one of the doctors I've been in contact with would be shocked by the notion that patients shouldn't be informing thenselves at a basic level. This goes quadruply for basic preventive measures like nutrition, exercise, or basic mental health practices: there's a reason that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".

My understanding is that:

1. Black Americans were taken away from their native specific cultures, whether it be Bantu, Hutu, Berber, etc, and unable to propagate the specifics of their cultures within communities. After emancipation, the only extant culture available was "Black".

2. White Americans generally settled into self-segregating Italian, Irish, German, etc communities or regions, and the original idiosyncrasies of these cultures persisted beyond relocation.

This makes a lot of sense, and I think up until the mid-late 20th century, this was fair, but I do think that sense is losing its strength as American society becomes increasingly atomized.

In 2021, it's equally valid to say that "Detroit Blacks" and "Memphis Blacks" have their own (sure, nascent, but real) disparate cultures, at the same time that it's valid to say that American "Swedish Whites" and "Italian Whites" are far more culturally similar than they were a couple generations ago.

I don't know, we'll see where history leads us, I guess. But the change is definitely visible.
Interesting concept. I think there is a market for these types of devices, catering to niches in the market. A phone for liberals, a phone for conservatives, and a phone for...everyone else?? "Tongue in cheek" maybe but I am surprised that phones are not being built and sold to narrower markets, for example sports fans. A phone made to watch, read, and engage in sports.

Is there no market available for these?
