this is so dark, Black Mirror couldn’t have imagined it

Even though programming and IT is a great hobby of mine, I ultimately decided not to pursue it on a university level as I didn't want to potentially turn my hobby into something I despise. I've been regretting this decision a lot throughout my life, but as AI becomes more and more incorporated into the work life of a programmer, I'm starting to feel relief. I would not want to work in that field today.

Would you use a website that required a browser extension to uphold end-to-end encryption of user content?

Reply in thread

That's true. On the other hand, the extension gains a much larger attack surface since it has access to a lot more data (every site you visit vs. only the site that serves the JS code). At the end of the day, people wouldn't use your site if they didn't trust your site, especially if they use it for privacy and integrity reasons, so for most users I think JS is the better option. I suppose there's no reason you can't offer both though.

would you wait for the Grapheneos-Motorola phone or buy a new pixel now?

I'm waiting. Not only because I'd rather use Motorola over Google, but also because I want to wait and see how the EU ID apps will work on GrapheneOS. If it won't work on GOS (which seems quite likely as of today), then I will ditch the phone as a social medium entirely and only use it for ID, banking apps and other proprietary garbage society forces upon me. I'd relegate my social life to a portable laptop or something, on which I have a far greater control of the software.

Dadgostars vändning: Är positiv till Nato

Om V är villiga att offra sina principer för riksdagsmandat så har de nog missförstått det där med demokrati. Poängen är ju att väljare ska söka sig till partier som representerar deras åsikter, inte att partier ska modifiera sina åsikter för att få röster. Visst kan sakpolitik ändras över tid, men nu börjar ju det socialistiska fundamentet att försvinna från partiet. Grundläggande principer. Om de blir ett nytt S så finns det ju inte länge någon anledning att rösta på dem. S finns ju redan.
