<p>The web client definitely lacks features, but I fail to see how this is a client feature? You can share your screen and have your camera on at the same time. It's the recording server that decides how to composite those together.</p>

<p>> Rune is a native graphical application built around a character grid, not an application running inside your terminal.<p>So it has the visual limitations of a TUI without the portability benefits? Why??</p>

<p>I really don't get why redhat decided to kill SPICE. It was the only thing that got using a VM on open source virtualization (e.g. proxmox) close to the experience of using one on vmware.<p>VNC is truly the worst remote desktop protocol you can have. Bad latency, bad quality, bad integration.</p>

<p>I'm not sure what you mean...<p>In OrganicMaps/CoMaps I click "edit place" > "Business hours" and get a nice vidual editor with checkboxes for each day it's open and boxes to put in times.<p>Same in OsmAnd, but editor looks a bit different.<p>Cartes.app has the "imrpove this place" screen where opening hours is one of the options, but it takes a few more clicks.<p>Openstreemap.org's web editor also does open hours quite well, but it does have a much complex submission process (it also asks for an edit message and edit tags).<p>Cartes.app has sattelite imagery as a "premium" option if you donate because they probably have to pay for it. OsmAnd also does, but I don't know if it's free because I paid for it years ago.</p>

An intro to card networks"]]></title><description><![CDATA[
<p>The only time I "needed" a credit card is when I tried to sign up for some US company's service. It rejected my debit card because it wanted credit, so I just took my business elsewhere.<p>Other than that, I've rented cars, rented other things with a "X will be charged to your card if you return it late", unattended gas stations... all the usual places you'd think need a credit card. It's fine.<p>We do have a "negative limit" that banks often give you, which means you can go into the red and pay it back later, but that has nothing to do with the card, it works even for normal bank transactions.</p>

<p>Compared to every person owning their own car, but now it has a bunch of extra sensors and a cloud subscription?

<p>Self-driving cars are an absurdly inefficient way to reduce traffic deaths that exists only because it makes substantially more money for shareholders than the alternatives. You are being witheld a good and cheap solution now for the promise of a worse and expensive solution some time in the future. All the while people keep dying.<p>Oh, and what's this "those who don't have it" bullshit? If anything, turning driving into a subscription service will mean mobility becomes harder for many people, as dirt-cheap used cars slowly stop being available. As for people who can't drive for whatever reason, they already have taxi apps. And don't think for a second that self-driving taxis will be cheaper in the long term than regular ones, only the margins will go up.</p>

<p>Well yes, SNI will be removed, when ESNI reaches far enough adoption. That's my point! ESNI does what SNI does, but securely.<p>You fix an insecure implementation by replacing it with a secure implementation, not removing the feature completely.</p>

<p>I generally like it, but am I seeing right that the new event window is now a modal dialog? Why?? Composing a message is a normal that you can manage with your window manager and have multiple instances of - why not the even too?<p>The use-case is obvious: I might be making a new copy of an event and want to go to a previous one to copy some template text from, or I want to make a bunch of similar events and it's easier to enter data in parallel than in series. Maybe I need to find information scattered in a few emails and copy it into the calendar entry.</p>

<p>New versions of encryption suites don't remove core functionality. This is like TLS removing SNI because it leaks information. It does, but the solution is ESNI, not removing SNI all together.<p>It's not "please stop looking at network requests", it's "ask the user for informed consent to look at network requests". Make it a big scary red warning if you want to. Definitely don't auto-grant it to existing extensions.<p>There are many options that don't involve removing functionality. It's like when Google removed SMS and clipboard permissions because they used to be too broad. People were pissed, a bunch of apps were killed, Google's walled garden got reinforced...</p>

<p>Removing capabilities is not progress towards better security. Putting them behind opt-in permissions, making permissions more granular, more robust... those are security upgrades. Removing capabilities is a feature downgrade.</p>

<p>Your browser does prevent random extensions from reading web page data - it prevents all of the ones you don't install!<p>More seriously: if you don't want X to do Y, the solution is to not give X the permission Y. The platform overlord removing the premission Y completely is a terrible solution.</p>

<p>I don't get it. They can get access to all of our shit through vulnerabilities, but nobody knows about it. In the author's hypothetical world, they get access to all our shit through backdoors, which they have to introduce through a public legislative process, so everyone knows about it.<p>If they can get access to all our shit, at least make them say it out loud and put in the effort to get legislation passed. There's no upside to the current situation.<p>And it's not like they're not trying to introduce backdoors already... Seen the whole age verification thing?</p>
