This, which is not uniform across servers, and has more work if you want to do certificate-based auth. Additionally getting a nick cloak is good opsec and also extremely not uniform.

> A focussed effort to get Matrix working

At what point do we say matrix isn't going to work? It's been like this for years. It's so overengineered on an immutable chat history on a blockchain it has crossed the line into "way too expensive to run and maintain for streams of cat pictures and memes". Worse is better.

You might be surprised to learn there are dedicated ftp clients.

Yeah, but the major upgrades for things like telnet and ftp were adding appropriate encryption layers and improved authentication to include things like certificates. IRC shoehorned those into the connections awkwardly but it's still not often mandatory and registration is painful.

Also usenet is still very popular but mostly used for file sharing.

keepassxc works across any major platform, mobile platforms have keepass2android and KeePassium. You don't have to run your own server, but you do need some type of file sharing system to keep them synced. I personally run a webdav share on a vps with some sync scripts to keep a backup on devices otherwise. OneDrive, google drive, dropbox, and others work.

Also protonpass.

Neutrinos are not an analog to sound in the point you are trying to make. They are many orders of magnitude more weakly interacting and much, much difficult to measure.

Why? They gave that out already.

> Because people will shoot themselves in the foot if you give them a shotgun.

Correct. This is why gun safety is taught. Try and bring up banning shotguns in the US and see what happens.

The author themselves say "I am admittedly being pedantic here" to that point.

Why does Apple need to protect anyone from themselves? This is the problem with commercial vendors creeping in computing freedom. It is exactly this mentality that people shouldn't be the ones responsible for the hardware and software they own and operate which erodes that freedom.

You might be shocked to learn how "society" has been forged over history.

Of course. Say something bad about Elon and see what happens.

These are defining qualities of something that does not "just work"

Google gives you no guarantee of service for your account. They could arbitrarily decide to lock you out for any reason and you have literally no recourse.

Email and SMS are not reasonable and both have an extraordinary number of flaws.

I quit OpenAI anything early when when their "do not train on my data" option was broken for several weeks. They are my one and only chargeback when I tried to quit and oops somehow I still got billed.

They are a deeply unethical company by any measure of observation.

That doesn't rule out "dark matter having other interactions which do not interfere with our detectors" Dark sector theories which include other dark particles or new particle interactions are not controversial amongst cosmologists in this space. For example there's a whole area of study around "dark photons" which would mix with our photons and interact with dark matter.

I can't tell if this is ironic or not.

> If someone offered a whole team of devs in India for an unknown number of months basically for free, one would be a fool to turn that down even knowing it wouldn't last forever. Claude etc feels like the same kinda deal.

I've made a lot of money fixing software where people paid for those offshore teams and they would have been better off having not done that and writing maintainable software from the start. They were fools paying for it and they still would have been fools if it had been free.

What is it you think "nepotism" means?

The paper claims directly "the rate of degradation over time remains unsatisfactorily unpredictable" but you are claiming the authors do not understand or are unaware of the point you are making?

> The GPL doesn’t require them to provide the sources to the world;

I don't see how this is relevant. The people making the request are within those boundaries. The rest is moot. The spirit of the GPL is that graphene is entitled to the GPLd source in some way and google must reasonably comply.

Chromium being open source is not a mistake. Letting google be the sole driver and not forking it has been. People who want control over their browsers have options. It's a fight because most people don't care about these things.

They have control over what they distribute. Chromium and Firefox are both open source and people can (and should) use derivatives they find acceptable.
