This assumes benevolence. It leaves out the part about investing in military companies.

Would running in Proton mean the security issues are moot?

If a snap is bundled with it’s own dependencies (the point of snap), those dependency libraries are not loaded into shared memory. Multiple apps that would typically share a loaded dependency must now each load them into RAM.

But that’s not honest.

Ubuntu’s default browser, and other apps, are snap-based. They take significantly more resourced than their Debian counterparts.

At its core is MEMORY.md, a lightweight index of pointers (~150 characters per line) that is perpetually loaded into the context. This index does not store data; it stores locations.

Actual project knowledge is distributed across “topic files” fetched on-demand, while raw transcripts are never fully read back into the context, but merely “grep’d” for specific identifiers.

This “Strict Write Discipline”—where the agent must update its index only after a successful file write—prevents the model from polluting its context with failed attempts.

For competitors, the “blueprint” is clear: build a skeptical memory. The code confirms that Anthropic’s agents are instructed to treat their own memory as a “hint,” requiring the model to verify facts against the actual codebase before proceeding.

Interesting to see if continue.dev takes advantage of this methodology. My only complaint has been context with it.

Can always self-host.

So is BitWarden if you self-hosted. The price increase is for a hosted service which Keepass does not provide.

Waffle.

While I certainly don’t agree with decisions, it’s always interesting to see people mix up “polite” with “not absolutely brutal”.

They clearly haven’t studied the history of the Canadian Corp in WWI. All that (illegal now) ferocity is behind the scenes now, as it should be, but being polite and being a capable war machine are two very different things.

No indication (yet anyway) that government business was conducted on his gmail. Records also end at 2019.

Yes and no. Yes, in that this should be obvious and judges should have dismissed immediately. No, in that it going to court sets precedent, so now any future cases can get dismissed quickly.

So clogging the courts for a brief time is good, clogging them for as long as it did is bad. (IMO)

The app uses standard Android TrustManager for SSL with no custom certificate pinning. If you’re on a network with a compromised CA (corporate proxies, public wifi with MITM, etc.), traffic between the app and its backends can be intercepted and read.

That doesn’t seem right. You would still need the compromised CA cert to be installed on your device. This isn’t going to be a problem when connecting to a public Wifi.

The rest of the article is bonkers, though. Classic corporate data-grab app, and then some.

Yup, with the few closed source parts rewritten in OSS, and a full audit conducted. Guessing they chose it since it is more modern than Libre and web-native.

Nice. Public beta: https://github.com/Euro-Office/

Because it’s RDP based (unless something has changed). OnlyOffice is HTTP based, so it slots in perfectly for online portals.

After all, any and all age checks we have nowadays are a black box anyways

This is the only part I disagree with. Age verification is typically done via services like ID.me, Lexis Nexus, etc which do it via identity verification with documentation. The alternative method that most social sites have gone with is age prediction from a face scan, of which providers are more than happy to tout how they do it as differentiators. For the latter, there are even FOSS options.

No, they won’t. They added an age field to the user profile, right next to name, etc. It’s there in case systems want to use it.

It’s a click bait article to get you to buy the 3 from their referral links, implying those are OK. You know this is a dumb article when you see this:

Of all the issues we found, weak default wi-fi passwords were the most concerning security vulnerability

A camera on a roomba.

If the ruling goes the wrong way, like with many cases like this (drug use is a good example), it won’t help those in the past. However, it will open a door for everyone in the future.

My guess is every DCMA entity on the planet has already sent this judge a letter saying that allowing this defense is a terrible idea. I am honestly torn on this one since there are so many unknowns, and if Meta loses it will mostly be publishers that benefit vs authors.
