  • If it’s not open source then forget about it, it won’t go anywhere. I’ve had that stance of all software for decades now, but in the last few years boat loads of others have caught on.

    Its simple really. If the software is open source (ALL of it, servers, clients) we can all check it and all be sure it does what is advertised. If not, we have no way of knowing what you’re doing, especially on the server side of things, and if we’ve finally collectively learned on thing, it’s that we can’t trust companies on the server side of things. Data WILL be used in other ways than advertised.

    Since this software is supposed to be a security product, trust is paramount, and it’s bot there at all. Unless this product would be open source I won’t even look at it.

















  • Yeah no, Putin is a different story

    He doesn’t give a shit about dead soldiers in body bags. Almost noone in Russia sees that, or if they do they’ll be told som lie about it. Its much simpler than in the US

    You know what’s not simpler? Demographics. As I recently read somewhere, demographics is like a freight train, slow, but all of the sudden you hear this horn bare and you’re splattered under it.

    Putin lost now about a million men of working age. That is a huge gash that will come back to haunt Russia. Not Putin, mind you, he’ll be dead and gone within a few years. Russia, though, is thoroughly fucked for the next decades. It already has low population issues before, and their demographics chart at this point is a fucking rollercoaster. Their population is already relatively old, and with the loss of about a million men, in a country largely dependent on mineral extraction and sale, it will be ugly.

    With very specific food alternatives, maybe, sure. If you want to go without, I applaud you. Once factory meat comes out, I’ll switch right away. Away with the mistreatment of animals.

    But please don’t be one of those “we’re not omnivores, it was all a conspiracy by the meat industry!” types. Yes, we humans are omnivorous and you’d be begging for a scrap of meat only a hundred or so years ago. Be happy wr live in an age where you actually get to make the decision to finally skip meat and pray we don’t return to those times (not guaranteed with trump now)
