Agree that the idea of using passkeys for encryption isn’t Moxies or novel, since it’s explicitly in the spec. MaybeI failed to get at what Moxie’s implementation replaces and how that’s novel, and mo…

Why is e-ink still so expensive?

I believe it is new. I’ve never seen them: - put a upgrade os version under “updates” - then select the upgrade os version instead the current version when there are multiple updates ( os patch, safar…

Careful if you're still on MacOS Sequoia, Apple has hidden Tahoe as a default under updates. If you click updated now it automatically upgrade you to Tahoe.

Not yet. My focus was getting the computer locked. I hope to add that or similar functionality that will remove the disk keys in the future. Right now it looks difficult to implement. There's no …

Dang. I didn’t download it. But when was live it had the deep sound of chopper type motorcycles in the background.

Anecdotal: uploading a video of original songs with political/protest lyrics will have random background noises added to the audio track, making the songs audio seem amateurish. Edit: here’s a li…

The US has had an economic wind at its back for a long time, but there’s perfect storm of debt, trade, inflation and de-dollarization brewing.

Two big names that jump out, the CEO of Signal Meredith Whittaker and Cory Doctorow. They both frequently give thought provoking talks.

Moxie (Signal Founder) gave a talk about the issues with federation at CCC in 2020, he took a crazy amount of flak for it, a lot of it from the Matrix community. Lots of the issue highlighted are in t…

Yeah, and my docker.com creds don't work.

Tablo TV is perfectly positioned to become TiVo’s successor.

Credit card benefits suck in the US now too, no?

Some of his points overlap with Signal founder Moxie’s observations: > “I don’t think it’s on a trajectory to deliver us from centralized platforms, I don’t think it will fundamentally change our r…
