Things you didn't know you needed

User controlled cryptographic identity management, distributed hosting, it's a protocol not a platform, you know...all the good stuff

I'm looking forward to clients and services built around the at protocol https://atproto.com/

Yeah they will do that when there being idiots, which is quite often. There should be a hold on it being reassigned, if the porting request is recent, keep on hounding them until they get it worked out, if it's been awhile, you're probably hosed.

Really is quite a nice font

Know what will kill self-hosted email? Giving up and hosting your email with the big guys, the less self hosted email servers there are the less the big guys feel any requirement to support it

I find it less concerning that the police have this info, than the fact that it's just a random company providing it and presumably anybody with the cash to buy access could buy the same or equivalent system.

Yeap, I don't understand this security stuff, I don't know why we just don't turn it all off. As an aside, my life has been much easier since I learned you can 'sudo su' your shell and then everything just works.

Omg It's incredible

Generated algorithmically from their domain.

I believe sqrl uses a system like that.

I'm all for it, just let me delete the Microsoft keys and start the trust chain with my own

Uhoh, Netflix is in trouble. Lots of people are cancelling because they don't like the price, now their solution is to start cracking down and charging more. This will be a long slow decline where competition fights its way in.

The hard part for corporations to understand and get behind, is cheap is better, coming in at a very low prices picks up lots of people and goodwill, and starves competition.

Netflix used to be the example of low price for great value.

Yes please!

What a nice little surprise hidden in each image, for those with the skills to look

Just a fork of emacs with an edgy name and some interesting modifications.

Let's help it live up to its name, and submit a pull request that adds advertising banners and tracking code.

I envision a system where after I vote I rip off the top of the card and am able to use that hash like token to later verify that my vote was counted correctly

Looks very nice, and the price point looks perfect. Of course I only use open source software, so I take this as a challenge to reimplement these features in emacs.

What a fantastic article, was captivated from beginning to end.

A beautiful small codebase from which to run little experiments.

For me personally, and I know others as well, I can't stand ads, if it comes down to the end of the world or accepting ads, goodbye world. So naturally I go quite a bit out of my way to remove ads and build tools that remove ads, everywhere I can. With YouTube's current trend of doing the worst job possible (see removing dislikes) there is no way in hell I'm going to be paying them anything. I'm still waiting for good ways to pay content producers directly, how does one tip a tenth of a cent?

I hope to see the rise of distributed search. It's not that generic search is the problem, just that companies have different, and often counter, priorities than users.

kinopoisk doesn't appear to be one of the 20 services it searches.

I like to think that it went down, and they just decided, you know what? It's probably for the best.

Thank you for putting it in terms us programmers understand, now we see the problem clearly. Now to show them politicians how we have already solved this problem.

You can see his right hand reflected in the display, it was just idle during the event.

When are we going to start requiring open firmware? (Not that that is a cure all, but it's a good start) Trust us the blob we flashed on your router is secure. /s

Look at "Alternate Reality: "The City"" for a good example of the detail in some of these.
