If The Next Big Thing can be sidelined by simply blocking its login option, that’s a problem. Not only is it not secure, it’s not even reliably usable.

Wait, haven’t some sources been touting how ultra-secure and unbreakable passkeys are? And now we find that they’re susceptible to comparatively simple MITM attacks?
Short of buying the IP catalog, Microsoft seems to be doing right here.
I’m not suggesting that you should. But if the government that controls a TLD is not trusted, then no site under that TLD should be trusted either.
It worked well for millennia. And nearly every town already has a safe repository to store and share materials with the community.
The only true archive is local hard copy.
Avoiding “crypto” obfuscates the truth and avoids the scammy reputation that crypto now has. Calling it “open source” also lets it slide into more communities.
It’s just marketing for a YouTube channel.
Bless you. I do have them blocked. I don’t need the aggravation in my life.
If you trust the government that controls a TLD, then use the site. If not, proceed with caution.
Substack really will publish anything, won’t they?
Good to know. Thanks!
It would also be nice if there were a way to use them anonymously. ChatGPT seems to allow this, but I’m not entirely comfortable with OpenAI.
Not defending hurtful remarks, but any polyglot knows that context and culture are everything and that dictionary translations are rarely entirely accurate. I’d rather know what he actually said with credible interpretation than some social media screed based on Google Translate’s version.
So has this been addressed in OS updates?
Mint on a couple of old laptops. Debian command line on a hobby server. Raspbian on a Raspberry Pi.
Didn’t love Arch (too complicated for my skills at the time). Fedora was okay and would do in a pinch. I remember liking OpenSUSE, but went back to Mint for some reason that I don’t remember (probably driver- or repo-related).
I’ll likely never try it myself, but I’ve known new users who did ok with Zorin.
Now what’s Putin going to do? Put his shirt back on?
Tomshardware is a blog, not journalism. It seems to be a generally credible blog (passes the CRAAP test), but it’s still just a blog.
That said, sadly, I have to agree about the general state of almost all US-based “journalism” these days. About 90% of headlines today would have gotten the editor fired on the spot in my newsroom. That was a point of strong disagreement between me and the station manager, and It’s one of the major reasons that I left the field.
Misleading headline. This improvement was only the best video encoding result. Most relevant improvements were in the 7-17% range. Still an improvement, but not so spectacular.
So the UK, like many societies, is struggling post-pandemic to convince a new generation of parents that the state is best qualified to raise and educate their children.
I haven’t either because I don’t see the advantage. Cases like this show that there may not be any.
