FWIW Floorp already has vertical tabs and is a more mature project, if that’s worth considering.

Terms and conditions are fundamentally unethical in all but the most theoretical way

“If you try to translate five paragraphs of text, and two sentences contain a mention of Xi, Bing’s competitors in China would delete those two sentences and translate the rest. In our testing, Bing always censors the entire output. You get a blank. It is more extreme,” Jeffrey Knockel, senior research associate at Citizen Lab, told Rest of World.

Your bank probably wants to make sure your account isn’t being hacked. Either they think you’re using a VPN, and they believe it could be a malicious person from literally anywhere, or they think you’re in Sweden, and they have no idea how you got there.
It’s cases like these where you might want to temporarily disable the VPN or make a special exception for your banking app, but that’s up to you.
You assumed and misinterpreted everything you could assume and misinterpret in order to paint standard notes in the best possible light.
the old approach wasn’t very secure or scalable?
No, the older approach was more scalable, and they made it more difficult to do
95-99% of the Javascript that has ever run in your browser is open source frameworks or packages
No, I was not talking about frameworks.
Your response was so offbase and full of assumptions that I simply edited my original post.
All FOSS projects have a team of dictators…
And the Standard Notes team makes a lot of bad choices that make self-hosting harder.
“Just fork it and make your own” is a Hail Mary response… Because most people cannot.
Standard Notes wants to charge you money to run open source JavaScript code, including other people’s markdown and spreadsheet editors, on your own server. To do this, they go out of their way to make self-hosting harder.
Standard Notes went out of their way to make it harder to self-host extensions a couple years ago, which IMO was pretty tasteless on its own. Instead of letting you install a single bundle of extensions with one URL, you would have to manually add each extension and then manually update it later.
They opted for charging for other people’s work. Their editor extensions were other people’s work. For example, their rich text editor was somebody else’s rich text editor with a thin wrapper that allowed it to run in Standard Notes. (Using so many other people’s editors also led to a bit of a lack of stylistic direction.)
And then, more recently, they decided to shut off web app access to third-party servers entirely.
“FOSS” only means so much when they dictate what goes into the source code. Unfortunately.
Mozilla: Say hello to our biggest AI moments!
That’s an interesting connection.
The sparkle emoji is infamous for being associated with AI now.
Orion is a Kagi product, and Kagi is an AI company made to look like a search/browser/T-shirt company.
I have to assume a lot of people don’t understand how deep the AI rabbithole for Kagi goes, because I have seen people recommend Kagi to people frustrated with Google’s own AI bullshit… They’re launching AI features left and right, and they have fully bought into AI being the future of search.
Correct, and that is bad. Very bad. The fact that in BitMessage, “every message gets sent to everyone” is something nobody wants or asked for.
Seems self-evident to me why the protocol has been languishing and mostly ignored for the past decade or so.
Why would you want to store messages, even encrypted ones, on a publicly accessible distributed database with no delete function?
Bitmessage was created well before the concept of post quantum encryption was widely discussed, so it is not safe for that use case.
If you see something that says it uses blockchain to store your data, run away from it. Blockchain is used to make records permanent, not private. The only way to delete data from a blockchain is to erase the blockchain from existence, which cryptocurrency bros will never want to do (because that’s where all their money is).
I miss the good old days when crypto meant cryptography and not cryptocurrency.
The biggest criticism I have seen of announcements-only signal groups is that every member can see every other member. This might be inconvenient for members who use their single phone number for purposes outside of activism.

404 media deserves your money IMO. They’re former Vice Motherboard writers, so more of your money is going to journalism and not marketers
