I add and grep for the following:

- FIXME: this is clearly broken/wrong and highest priority

- XXX: this is “ugly” or assumes wrong things, probably higher than next

- TODO: at some point, implement a whole different approach/category/branch

- NOTE: code comment with a higher importance than just random comment

NOTE: I work a lot with old/unmaintained codebases where “code is truth”, so there is no “jira ticket creation” but amending things as you read.

There are alternatives for mapping apps, but no competitors for street view and discovering local photos (if you need a map/streetview for NY or SF it doesn’t matter what you use). True, even photos has become “spammy” in contested areas. But is indispensable if you want to discover local areas in regions like Turkmenistan for example

Thanks! This looks like an awesome text editor and has the very understandable navigation I miss from b-liner!

Who is behind the app? Company? Person? Impossible to find anything than a "hi@" e-mail. The Github repository has no people-members, commiters have no real location...

There is sekey app for macs, use it. There are also yubikeys which can be used for SSH and OpenSSH knows how to use fido keys, so even more to choose from.

Getting asked as an expert "can this id card thing be trusted?" my answer has been "for communicating with the government you inherently don't trust, the method or security of an authentication device does not really matter" (filing your taxes or logging to services being the scope). Some claiming encryption privacy issues ... Well, for any meaningful opsec you should not be using the id card for encrypting messages about overthrowing the same government issuing the encryption devices in the first place, if government reading your messages is a threat in your model.

This shows the issues in process and attitude. Even in the case of ROCA, you do not really break the crypto part itself, you wiggle around the implementation and procedure issues to bypass it.

He is a well-known researcher in Estonia, with his scope of work both known as well as appreciated (at least by the non-politicians). Of course some have the "too big to fail", thus "you don't talk about Vo..." attitude, but those want to turn technical argumentation into political "agreement" and it is hard to debate a 0 to become 1. You can't argue with computers, "lets agree this 0 is as good as 1, even better and greater!"
