Proton does that thousands of times per year. They're transparent about it.

Consumer pays for the streaming service, not a demo of every studio. Why they don't do the first?

A decade or so later, but besides that: good job. Maybe they combine it with passkeys someday, because you know.. cameras are a thing theese days. Point it towards the keyboard and get the keyphrase.

The thin client server approach is old. mircosof lately shifted focus onto this cloud windows thing. I want something similar, but not just streaming screen and input. more optimized better looking app for starting remote apps, like locale ones e.g. It's already developed but what is it called, again?

this is what work is.

efficiency shrinks by more team also you get other people. if you are working on something you stay alive until it's done.

It's also bad for publishing (they now use the term too, anyways) all (I mean really like ALL of thoose tech savy people store their data in plaintext on someone computer, they not know what this thing does. there are many thousand on one instance. which disappears. maybe they where ethical people had no dirtmoney, couldn't exchange information to currency to pay the hoster.. I don't know. But you can get banned pretty quickly. Even when talking in private, a mod can decide it's creepy and ban you. they still have the data. you no access to your audience.

to most people YES, it pretty hard to grap DMs from twitters server. Especially compared to reading them in plaintext like on mastodon. you thing meta is not good but it's still e2ee so your better of writing there.

they are actually toots. it's an feature that other people can read what you say in private to someone and ban you if it's creepy (the conversation) besaid feature is active on all instances it's not opt out. no instance has an inhouse fix (think they would post about it, since people like to talk in private. I mean almost every human on earth does use e2ee but mastodon is such an (honestly? the devs are drunk or something really fishy going on there. they got funding and build an client (that is exactly what was NOT need or useable or their thing)) clusterfuck. it's to complecated they say. I know, ping me if you have same thought, it's easy to fix!

mastodon inctances are prone to this. user data stored in plaintext, even PM are unencrypted and readable by design for moderation

yes that negotion is a specific protocoll of USB-C and was used to unlock fde encryption through the USB-C port connected secure enclave, that was happy to decrypt fed as if you had entered the password. the next generation had magsafe again :)

maybe just use LAN as it was intended? wired!? sounds as stupid as it get's to have something that can replace valid certs on your system.
