I had checked that page not long ago, and as far as I remember there were many "red" or "orange" days in the past 3 months. Now it's all green. That's concerning

The "Stop. You know nothing." comment was apparently a reference to this tweet. https://x.com/CodyRhodes/status/980680154098757632

Embarassing nonetheless

You're right, pardon my cynical remark. I'm just disillusioned by the promises of most tech companies

I had checked as soon as I found out about the news the other day and it was there. I just checked on wayback machine and you're right, it was removed for some time. However, if they're willing to put back that claim immediately, I doubt that their intention was to drop the free plan anytime soon, but probably it was to incentivize people to use the paid plans. Enshittification must happen sooner or later afterall, but fortunately vaultwarden exists and the export feature is highly unlikely gonna be removed immediately as the free plan disappears, so people could just switch to a third-party or self-hosted backend as soon as that happens.

This is an incredible overraction over a minor change that did not even happen. You can still find "Always free" in the pricing line of the very same page everyone keeps linking as proof https://bitwarden.com/products/personal/#whats-the-differenc...

Edit: it actually disappeared for some time but they put it back on May 18

they haven't backed down, you find the "Always free" claim in the very same webpage OP linked https://bitwarden.com/products/personal/#whats-the-differenc...

Except for guessing the right continent (not that remarkable), mine is so majestically wrong that I would either dislike or fully hate all of the products I got recommended.

comedy is a completely different thing than natural tone. I agree that they’re incapable of coming up with decent jokes

You can make an LLM sound very natural if you simply ask for it and provide enough text in the tone you’d like it to reproduce. Otherwise, it’s obvious that an LLM with no additional context will try to stick to the tone the company aligned it to produce

I totally agree. The authors have found a security vulnerability in a mechanism that wasn’t even trying to protect the software from attacks. I don’t see any relevance in this paper except being a good exercise

New comment by craigmart in "Telegram has launched a pretty intense campaign to malign Signal as insecure"

craigmart — Mon, 13 May 2024 13:30:55 +0000

The point is that you don't have to trust them because the client (where the relevant cryptography is performed) is open source and the fact that my links point to signal.org is completely irrelevant, those blog posts are just ways to advertise facts that are freely verifiable. You can read the source code to check the implementation of sealed senders or how the social graph is handled.

NSA can hack into Signal's infrastructure, and what they will be able to gather are the same information provided by Signal in reply to subpoenas (the whole list here https://signal.org/bigbrother/), because everything else is end-to-end encrypted.

You are speaking of metadata as if all metadata is equal. Signal does collect phone numbers (even though, since usernames have been introduced [1], this can be made opt in from now on), but not the contacts or social graph, neither many other relevant metadata [2]. What they can gather from this, is only when the specified phone number registered to signal services and its last connection to the server [3].

So, if you can call "metadata exchanging app" an app that simply has a list of numbers registered to the service, without any metadata assigned to them except their last access, the same label could be assigned to a much larger number of services.

It may not be anonymous, but it can hardly be disregarded as private.

New comment by craigmart in "Rust in the Linux Kernel: Just the Beginning"

craigmart — Tue, 25 Oct 2022 08:53:39 +0000

Could you expand on why people shouldn't compile their kernel? I think it's fairly useful to compile their own to get a better understanding of what the kernel does and to better suit everyone's needs. For example, if I have little free space on my boot partition and I have my disk encrypted, I want my kernel to be as small as possibile, so I will deselect every driver I don't need. Or maybe the driver for my new device is not included in the kernel builds of my distribution.

Not only I woundn't say that most people shouldn't compile their kernel, I would say that most linux users* should do it at least once, so they can understand the power they have compared to closed-source operaring systems.

*with linux users I mean users that use linux as their main operating system, not people that do ssh once in a while or rarely boots their linux partition

New comment by craigmart in "Firefox rolls out Total Cookie Protection by default to all users"

craigmart — Tue, 14 Jun 2022 19:28:17 +0000

What kind of protection does Facebook Container have other than deleting cookies outside of the container?

For my case Total Cookie Protection is enough, but if you want the same protection of Facebook Container for every website (i.e. session cookies which are deleted each time you restart the browser) you can install Cookie AutoDelete or use the built-in option to delete cookies at restart (whitelisting websites where you need permanent cookies).
