less copying and more keeping in the spirit of, as it has clearly shown it is a model that is built to last

as someone with little to no design background they all look the same to me except the bloated sass which is clearly inferior

is there a way to quantifiably measure how much better one design would be from another?

i wonder if it's partially because it's not a unique business model and subject to yet another VC-subsidized race to the bottom on things like token prices

agreed, unless you need to use all models i'm sitting here wondering why orgs would want to introduce third party risk into their pipelines for marginal cost and time savings

The parent company should face severe penalties for allowing this kind of breach to happen and also for terrorist financing. We are really living in the Stone Age of information security.

Patently false headline, paywalled article, and blatantly left leaning source. Loving the state of media in 2026.

the entire economy of California being dependent on how Iran is feeling on a given day is crazy work

linode came to mind as well but OP seems to be much more focused on building cloud as a hardware service rather than VM

as someone who is working in the cybersecurity space and recently obtained my CISSP designation, i am left wondering when the pedagogy of my field will expand and include a separate domain dedicated to AI agent safety and security best practices

it really does feel like we are way behind in the way we train people in cyber compared to the pace of the development of agentic AI, robotics etc

is it unrealistic to think the companies that benefit from orgs such as this could donate a fraction of a percent of their wealth to keep them going? the responsibility always seems to fall most on those with the least resources.

A terrible domain squatter and an equally terrible ruling

I wonder if web3 will eliminate the possibility of these situations ever happening in the future

New comment by iqihs in "Verifying your Matrix devices is becoming mandatory"

I think Matrix as a protocol has been pretty ineffective, as their top priority seems to be keeping data permanent and duplicated. Both performance and privacy are at the bottom of their priority list. The one good thing I can say about it is that encryption of message contents is enabled by default in conversations and available in groups, but that's about it - nothing else is, or can be, encrypted. In other words, every participating server knows who is talking to who, and how much, and when, and in what rooms, and what those rooms' names are, and what those rooms' descriptions are, and who moderates them, etc.

Meanwhile, an app like Signal can do none of that, and that's by design.

If you're looking for a privacy oriented messaging system, you'd best look elsewhere.

I'm new to Matrix and found this comment on reddit. How much of it is accurate and does it actually contribute to whether or not the future of the protocol is promising?

There is legitimate skepticism here when so much is at stake.
