> Lack of awareness isn't a problem anymore. Everyone knows, nobody cares.

I strongly doubt that based on what I've seen. People install random apps on their phone just because they wanted to crop a picture and frame it or trim a video and compress it is because they ultimately think that nothing will happen to them. Like you don't expect your fridge to blow just because you open the door.

Another issue is that people are trustful. They trust their government to have laws for that. And even if a few accidents happen, they shrug because for them, the system generally works. And they don't care, just like you don't care a business having security cameras while you're shopping. Because you trust they will be sensible with the recording.

Tech privacy and security is nebulous for people and we have hordes of companies marketing that it does not really matter and the government not doing anything. And most people don't feel the impact. Getting them to understand is hard. Because they think that when they click delete, it's gone. Or if they've not posted, only they have the only copy.

First they came for crypto, and you guys laughed and cheered them on because “crypto and web3 sucks”

I told you then, that end-to-end encryption is far more worrying for politicians, than mere cryptographic signatures. And that they’ll be coming for it next. Because it can hide billion-dollar transfers, or CSAM, or gasp seditious material against the king.

Well, it’s not just Europe, it’s all over the world:

https://community.qbix.com/t/the-global-war-on-end-to-end-en...

The above chronicles many cases even in your own country!

Today regular people are just as clueless about end-to-end encryption as many on HN are about web3 and decentralized network innovations. Think of the children!

And then they will come for the regular person, and by then there will be no one left making tools that could have helped them.

As for me and my views, I have come to believe that end-to-end encryption vs state actors is a band-aid, that if you are reduced to sneaking around then your government and agencies need fixing. Whereas digital signatures and smart contracts and decentralized networks are useful as they allow everyone to be in control of their own identity, voting, balances etc. without relying on a third party. It’s done in the open. But the difference is that it can be limited to “benign” things and enforces the rules, while everyone gets to make their own decisions and one party can’t corrupt the system.

To me, the transparency and resilience to corruption is the main thing. The sneaking around, I can see how governments can declare war on that.

At that point, maybe I should have just put 0% but then I'd be an asshole, right?
> From simple use, the Beelink SER5 I have seems to have better performance than my 13-year-old Macbook Pro, so I was curious about the upper bound / limits of little machines like it.

Beware of Beelink. They are known to suffer from weird hardware design issues (i.e., mouse/keyboard activity required to wake up from sleep mode but their USB stack is disabled when entering sleep mode) and are riddled with other hardware issues. I bought one and for example video randomly shuts down a few seconds after booting in without a way to recover.

Their hardware issues are surprisingly not the problem. The problem is that their support is limited to their message board, and it's heavily censored to hide all issues. I bothered to go through their china social credit score process to register a user account to report the issues I experienced and all posts were heavily censored. In fact, the first post I noticed being censored out was a reply to a boilerplate post with troubleshooting tips where I simply said that I tried out the suggestions but they weren't effective at fixing or mitigating the problem. This left their board with a thread where a problem is reported, they chime in with a list of fixes that they automatically post to all problems, and by magic no one bothered to reply.

I use an overpowered (for my type of job) modern i7 computer with 32G of ram and modern 1TB ssd.

It still does take several seconds to open start menu, same for calculator. Explorer takes sometimes a minute so I have a different file manager open constantly.

The trick is to combine windows with any type of DLP enterprise software. It consistently delivers this horrible experience.

But aside from poor enterprise setups, try opening win11 start menu on a computer that has internet, just veeery slow. Suddenly you will miss those times of win95 loading start menu icons one by one, with a soundtrack of scrubbing HDD.

I don't miss those times purely because of huge stability differences. 20 years ago or so, systems crashed all the time and filesystems had to be repaired constantly. I even clearly recall how often was a kernel panic on random Linux distro, when you tried early docker.

You can still do that in some places that have open fiber networks!

It would be great to not listen on tcp/80 for your API, except that acme http-01 uses tcp/80 explicitly for domain validation. So in order to get https, you open http.

Sure, there is dns-01 and tls-alpn-01 but I presume that majority uses http-01 and migrating it is not a trivial matter.
> Eventually they got tired of me pitching for it and fired me.

I'm sorry but your anectode is simply not believable. No one gets fired for suggesting a harmless feature.
No, you’re not fine.

They can ban that as well.

The only way anything can continue working in practice is if it’s decentralized, and served by different websites secured bu https rather than one app in one app store. Hard to take them all down.

Perhaps Moxie Marlinspike now better appreciates decentralization behind messengers. I have written here years ago as a response to him exactly this scenario:
https://community.intercoin.app/t/web3-moxie-signal-telegram...

The thing with https of course is that the governments can insist that browsers include their backdoored certificates. But the browsers are large enough that it’s difficult to get them to do it. China’s Great Firewall probably can. But in order for that to happen they have to prevent packets encrypted with the non-backdoored certificate chain from being routed. That requires serious control over all the networks.

This is partly why I started Qbix. So people can host whatever they want on computers of their choice. Without this decentralization, the governments are two steps away from mandating ALL your voice conversations are scanned, transcribed and analyzed by AI at the edge. Microsoft Recall + message and voice scanning = 1 step away from total panopticon of everyone everywhere. And with superintelligent AIs doing precrime based on everyone’s conversations!
We should seriously ask, if being part of EU is beneficial or not. Electing left or right is just a game to keep system working. But it serves to scrap responsibility from us and lead to slavery with every new regulation.
You could always roll your own protocol that you use to interface with contacts, basically replicating Signal's algo. The gov wouldn't be able to stop that.
Despite Swiss "neutrality", it is also a member or E.U. and must comply with GDPR (and thusly the new EU rules)

The problem is that it's still a taxable asset and therefore gives the authorities a legitimate reason to look into people's Signal data.

Any privacy protections for speech are unlikely to apply to financial transactions anywhere in the world.

This is a disastrous mistake.

> First they came for crypto, and you guys laughed

Crypto has probably done more to undermine privacy than Hoover’s FBI. Its proponents are ambitiously unlikeable, relishing their distastefulness to burnish outsider credentials. Its damage is easy to quantify in a way troublesome speech is not. And because a broad set of the population either doesn’t like it or, much more prominently, doesn’t care, it serves as a stalking horse for advancing general anti-privacy laws.

Signal is a great example. They should be a unifier for the notoriously-apathetic privacy crowd. But it isn’t. In part due to its crypto crossover. I genuinely can’t seriously take Signal as a canary of anything, because it’s unclear what motivates its leadership.
That is certainly a view, there. Resisting sleep also teaches your body to resist sleep...

That is, I don't think it is cut and dried. I can concede that napping too often is bad. I can also think that napping is not necessarily bad.
Centralised service is weaker against surveillance than decentralised solutions. Signal should adopt selfhosting and federation.

> a few tens of thousands of deaths in car crashes a year, is vastly outweighed by the time saved by everyone else compared to even an excellent public transit system.

what in the absolute f** are you talking about? have you ever experienced the sudden death of a loved one? what about the network impact of someone dying? even if you want to look at it through a capitalistic lens, think of the reduction in capability people going through that trauma. the amount of resources it takes in the health care, and public service sectors. you're off loading the immense costs of a person dying onto folks at random like an inverse and more likely lottery.

since you're so confidently in having the empirical measures of what outweighs what, at what point would a public transit system start to be a "good cost tradeoff" in your framework? cause there's a logical end goal you could get to: individualized transport with an experienced driver; and then work backwards from there until you balance the cost of implementation with those tens of thousands of death. would it be $1,000/day/person? $500/day/person?

though more than likely you're speaking like this because you've lived your entire life transported by car, benefiting off of the externalized costs passed off to the less fortunate, and you fear having your subsidized conveniences justifiably going away.

Well, I goofed. Nonetheless, Threema is claiming GDPR-complaince:

> do anything under the slogan of "protecting the children".

This is far too forgiving a representation, they are surveillance wolves disingenuously wearing the sheeps' wool of protecting children to further their eventual thought-policing goals of "total information awareness."

Doing anything to protect children is difficult to object to. Using the children as their pretense for monitoring dissidents is really the heart of the matter. It's important to differentiate between the two.

I get that this difference could be subtly implicit in that comment, but let's please make it explicit.
They won’t be able to operate that over public networks in China, because the routers will drop their packets.

You’d need to roll your own mesh network — definitely doable in local areas but the question is how to connect them over wider distances without going through the Great Firewall. Satellites?
The vision for what society should be is absolutely not consistent across political and religious spectrums.

People vote completely the opposite on things like nuclear energy, wind energy, defense spending, etc all while thinking they are bettering society.

Getting everyone consistent on those requires full on propaganda and forced “re-education” whenever people critically examine things.
IIRC, the Athlon XP processors also had these contacts, but it required an additional step to fill a gap dug between the contacts with super glue. (Probably possible because previous processors used a ceramic package while the newer ones used organic plastic.)

I would say actually in the vast majority of cases of accessibility interventions, it benefits everyone. Everyone is, at various points in their lives, a varying degree of disabled (defined in terms of functional deficits). Whether injured, pregnant, chronically ill, a wheelchair user, elderly, or — heh — even intoxicated, thinking broadly about users of the spaces and tools we design is always going to yield more positive than negative externalities imho.

In cases where this is not true, I’d challenge designers and engineers to find more novel designs that can genuinely be used by anyone and not cost too much inconvenience. This can sometimes mean starting from scratch and questioning our assumptions. Eg. Even the need for a curb-to-street indicator presupposes a street that is used by both big metal vehicles and pedestrians, whereas perhaps there’s a solution that means those paths never cross. Ie. More fundamental urban and transport design instead of band-aiding atop legacy systems.

At our university, DC++ was the king. When I started, each dorm room had a 10 Mbit switched port, and each dorm area had a shared 100 Mbit uplink to the university network. So if just 10 people were downloading, you'd instantly overwhelm the uplink. So everyone was instructed to [tag] their username with which dorm they were in, so you'd prioritize people in the same network as yourself for the fastest downloads and so that uni IT could keep a blind eye to us as we weren't killing the uplinks.

(a year or two later, the dorms were disconnected from the university network and connected to an open city fiber network with commercial ISPs with 100 Mbit ports and no uplink contention and DC++ went away as people could now use public BitTorrents)
