Proton launches privacy-focused Google Docs alternative: Docs in Proton Drive is an open-source, end-to-end encrypted collaborative document editor
  • That's where the second and third paragraphs come in. Because other companies likely test it themselves, too.

    They'll typically report security bugs privately and then, after X amount of months, publicly announce the bug. Doing it this way will, ideally, force the other company to patch the bug prior to the announcement. If not, they'll end up with a publicly known security bug that bad actors can now exploit. The announcement will also let the public (including companies) know to update their software.

  • I imagine it probably is inspected, just not by the public. They probably do it themselves.

    And they may have contracts with certain companies specializing in this sort of security that also inspect it.

    And there's also the cybersecurity companies that test it whether they're contracted or not. At some companies, their entire job revolves around finding bugs (especially security bugs) in other companies' software.

    Just because it's not on GitHub doesn't mean it's not a good product that hasn't been thoroughly tested.

  • Shit libertarians say.
  • Someone tweeted that homeschooling should largely be illegal.

    Someone else quoted the tweet them and said people like them should be hung. Quoting a tweet is like replying while also saying, "HEY, EVERYBODY, LOOK AT THIS!"

    Then a third person corrected the second person's grammar.

    It could be assumed that the second person was homeschooled, but there's no evidence within the picture to support that.

  • FCC proposes ending cellphone carrier locks after 60 days
  • People can usually unlock the carrier on their own. Many phones (or at least every phone I've ever gotten from T-Mobile) even come pre-installed with a carrier unlocking app. It's just not automatic, and certain conditions need to be met.

    People may also sometimes be able to buy phones already unlocked directly from the manufacturer if they want to. (Whether or not they're able to do this depends on the manufacturer.)

  • I'm getting old
  • I'm just not ready...

    I'm almost the same way. I'm not really feeling negative about it, though. I just feel nothing towards it, which is almost worse. Like you said, though... maybe some day. The interest is still there somewhat, just not nearly enough for me to act on it.

  • I'm getting old
  • I watched 7, suffered through 8 and didn't even care about watching 9.

    I almost didn't watch 9. Then a friend of mine who'd walked out of the theater while watching 8 told me 9 was actually good. So I took his word for it. Episode 9 was okay. Not good or bad. Felt like they were trying to cram two movies into one. But, without getting into spoilers, compared to 8, 9 was still okay.

  • Looking for new Site Admins
  • My guess is it's because it's a similar role to a Reddit Admin, which is to say they're basically a global moderator. Also, having access of any kind to the site's SQL server requires an element of trust. That's probably why they require the video interview.

  • Internet forums are disappearing because now it's all Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.
  • You're right about the forums. While they're useful as smaller chat rooms separate from the "main ones" (for example, someone in a Discord server I know started a forum for fanart and discussion about a specific upcoming video game), they're completely useless as a replacement for traditional forums.

    Also, like you said, the search feature simply isn't good enough to be able to efficiently search through all those forums. While Reddit's (and probably Lemmy's) search engine isn't great either, it at least has the benefit of being indexed by other search engines.

  • The Internet is becoming genuinely unusable without an ad blocker
  • "We hate ads, too!" — some window asking me to turn off my adblocker

    No, you don't. Otherwise, you wouldn't be showing me this notice asking me to turn off my adblocker. Either that or I hate ads way more than you do.
