The backdoor would be in the firmware and open schematics for a PCB don't say anything about open firmware right....

What if sites start to request more information than they need because why not? If you don't give it, you don't get access, and you want access. What incentive do they have for requesting less information?

Gemini must be doing something right cause nearly everyone here seems to froth at the mouth with anger whenever it's mentioned.

It's funny that this roguelike is advertised as a roguelite and most roguelites are advertised as roguelikes.

This comes of as naive. All that would happen with that "one app" is it would be used by advertisers and governments as the one true spying source and there would be literally nothing you could do about it.

Gemini lives rent free in the heads of like 99% of HN users. It's really weird. Look at any Gemini network posts on here. So much hate for a little network that just sits there and does its thing.

Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 means authorities can request encryption keys (passwords) from you and you can't say no.

Investigatory Powers Act 2016 literally nicknamed Snoopers' Charter. Means ISPs keep all your traffic for minimum a year, police are given access to it, but politicians are exempt and need a warrant to have their data viewed?!?!?

UK police have been rolling out Live Facial Recognition in London and Wales for the last few years. Seven new regions are being added. 10 new vans coming in.

Supermarkets are using facial recognition to keep a database of people they deem criminals.

UK tried to make Apple put in a backdoor to its encrypted storage. Apple removed the ability for UK citizens to use that feature.

Online Safety Act forced online services to implement age verification for "adult" content. Many niche forums closed down because they would face large fines and jail time if they didn't comply. Larger businesses offloaded this requirement onto third party companies so now if you want to see "adult" content online you need to share your face or bank details or government ID with a random third party likely from a different country.

None of the major political parties care about digital rights and in fact want MORE surveillance.

I don't think it's a particularly hard concept to grasp what's happening here. UI elements above content stop you seeing it. Apple has tried to make them both see through so that you screen feels bigger and stand out so that you can actually interact with the UI effectively. Some images/demos look good. Some look horrible. Time will tell.

I would like this if it actually stuck to its own philosophy but for some crazy reason just HTML needs googletag manager and telebugs to look after it. Webdevs just can't leave shit alone can they?

Yes. I 100% unironically believe that anyone should be able to use anyone else's work royalty/copyright free after 10-20 years instead of 170 in the UK. Could you please justify why 170 years is in any way a reasonable amount of time?

I think that's not far off the same as asking what 1890s films are worth watching. You could watch a couple for a bit of novelty and an idea of what technology was like but none of them are "good".

Remember kids, piracy is cool. By copying software, you are living in a utopian future 100 years in the future instead of putting on your clown make up and pretending as if digital goods follow the same supply/demand laws as physical goods.

It's nice to see people ensuring that you can truly own digital goods 100 years before it becomes the obvious standard.

I've always thought Stationfall was very video game like. Each action is easy to explain but there are lots of actions. If you've played video games before it's quite easy to pick up, otherwise a little overwhelming.
