Moved most of my stuff there a while ago, has been pretty great.

Huh. I've played around with D a few years ago.. don't exactly remember his opinions coming to light, but I can't say I'm surprised either.

So many things already mentioned, I guess the most original thing I can say would be Nushell :)

Gleam also maybe?

WebAssembly.

Google's extension of RCS does do e2ee, which raises the question of "what happens to security when you talk to a non-Google user"..

I couldn't really get into Witcher 3. It was more the combat than the story but the story didn't interest me much either..

for me, Horizon Zero Dawn was the real "wow, open-world storytelling can be that good and not classic Bethesda nonsense" moment

It does not. The fingerprint always only unlocks the device's HSM ("secure enclave" in Apple speak).

Between your devices enrolled in the ecosystem, private keys are synced securely (AFAIK, they make it so that an existing device’s HSM encrypts keys using the pubkey of the new one’s HSM); for signing up using your device on someone else's computer there's a process that combines QR codes with Bluetooth communication.

Note that you pretty much can't store them with Google or Apple; smartphone biometric sensors operate the on-device HSM, not something remote.

IIUC Apple syncs them using the most secure way they can, i.e. when you enroll a new device to your account the existing device, the existing device's HSM encrypts keys using the pubkey of the new one's HSM; and for recovery from being left with 0 Apple devices there might be (?) an escrow option that's optional (?)

Air travel is quite polluting, of course I would expect such companies to have a PR budget focused on that kind of thing..

I preordered it on Steam and played on a big PC as soon as possible, it looked incredible to me, the initial release did crash occasionally but I always found it strange how much attention that instability got compared to how Todd Howard games are just casually permitted to be comically buggy.

The fact that it's thin and fading outwards makes it looks more like one of the crosshair options in FPS games

Back in the day on the other place it was a very good community. Way back in the day. Before the quarantine and takeover and whatever the hell else happened since…

There's no need to access the full file system to download to wherever the user wants. In fact the user might not want to use the local file system, but instead a "cloud" storage provider app!

The Storage Access Framework is built precisely for this.

You will have issues accessing Catbox/files on Catbox if you are connecting from the following countries or providers:

The Australian government […] decided that Catbox was a terrorist propaganda spreading website

the love of footy has overtaken the sensibilites of the British and Irish governments, and they have decided to implement an IP level block

Sounds great.

??? Channels are literally public by definition and viewable even without an account. That's the whole point of channels. They're more like blogs than messages.

My next web stack: chota.css, verga.js, poronga.html & pija.php :D

Banning channels is not the same as sharing private data
