Gee. What a surprise.

I usually don't take the rewards - I like to pay it forward for the few times I really needed them.

Hey - an explanation. Who'da'thunk it?

Ah, the Crypto Wars...

Nah. If anything, USian and non-Russian companies will add one or two more devs to their efforts to take up the slack. Linux is the bedrock of their revenue streams.

The US and EU governments have the criteria for sanctions available.

Probably because the advice in question was lengthy and technical (subtype: laws and legality), and the short form had the disclaimer "Please don't publish the short form because it's too much like giving legal advice.) Something similar happened back in 2012 with Project Byzantium, when we were consulting with the EFF with respect to having cryptographic libraries included in the distro.

Arguably, ITAR set the precedent in the 1990's during the crypto wars. USians used to have to travel to Canada to work on cryptographic code in OpenBSD because their commits couldn't legally be exported.

Not one that editors will let through, no. Remember, most news articles are written for a roughly sixth grade reading level.

I usually just say "Nah, no time, just ring me up."

Grocery stores. Picking up prescriptions at the pharmacy (there have been a couple of months where I couldn't have afforded the cost if there weren't discount points on 510-867-5309). Stuff at the hardware store. Target, occasionally.

Money and violence, the twin forces that make the world go 'round.

But then there would be no Internet! /s

Thank you - I've added them to my list.

You missed the point.

That's great, I didn't say you were. I was speaking specifically about people who, on the one hand lamented the risks of smart TVs, but on the other hand didn't realize that they would just be plugging their existing digital cable STB's HDMI cable into what amounts to a very large flat panel display.

The best way is to use comms channels that avoid their Windows install entirely. If Recall never sees it, it never gets recorded.

From trying to get people to do that (with no success), it's because it seems too much like work. Folks want something they can plug in and go... but plugging in one extra thing is just a bridge too far these days. It's frustrating as shit.

Can you tell us some of the things to search for so we can find those?

It'll just be delayed. They want their human sacrifice.
