And the Streisand effect at work.

Which makes no difference to 99.99% of software vendors out there. Most 32bit programs run just fine on a 64bit platform. You make it sound like it's a real hard piece of work maintaining support for multiple platforms. That may be true only if your application has a specific need to run in 64bit.

That depends entirely on it's use. As a tool to confirm the identify of communication with other people, the number of other people using it is most definitely directly related to its usefulness. Likewise this. A cryptographically secure way of authenticating the sender of a message would be very useful, more so a way of encrypting it in transit.... if the sender used a compatible standard to do it.

Tell it to the people who upgraded to Gnome 3

So the flat style makes it harder to click on?

Know who else is licenced? Every road user. For some reason we ask taxis to get two licences.

So 32bit and large memory addressing is a problem for an low power low performance device?

I have 2 Atom machines here. I guarantee they'll never see a workload where they would benefit from a very large addressable memory space that comes with 64bit processors as the chips just aren't powerful enough to do that kind of work.

So really what is the point of a 64bit chip like that?

Faster is not an apples to orange comparison. It is a simple workload type question. I open a photo in Lightroom which processor does it the fastest? The current generation i3? Yesterday's generation i5, or yesterday's generation i7 mobile chip?

The problem is that it really should be an apples to apples comparison and the feature set should be separated from the performance.

What consent? I find the vast minority are pictures taken without consent. The majority are:

a) In public where there's no right to privacy and thus no consent (e.g. passed out on the sidewalk after a hell of a fun night)
b) In private due to own stupidity (e.g. Naked selfie sent over the internet, or sent to third party).
c) With consent withdrawn at a later date and then complaining about being unable to reverse the Streisand Effect (i.e. amateur porn from ages ago, or that picture you took 10 years ago you wish you didn't).

The problem is not so much a lack of consent, but that people will openly consent to waaay too much without thought about consequences and ultimately with little recourse when it all goes wrong. Yes this is blaming the victim, and you are right that there are plenty of assholes out there that prey on these kinds of victims, but as a society we are beginning to show an unrealistic expectation of privacy, as the media* and the Streisand effect shows over and over again.

*Side note I always laugh at the people who come out of the courts and then assault a news camera man because they think they have the right to privacy walking down a public street, only to end up right back in court again.

There's not. There are many SIM card manufacturers. This one just happens to be one of the most popular, and it's helped along by the fact that all you really need is one client (a Telecom company) and you suddenly end up with millions of units of sale per year.

Here let me finish the rest of the cut-off quote:

That's actually it. There's nothing more than that. The Fappening was the name given to the mass of nude celebrity photos posted online, by whoever originally posted the thread. The wording could have been better, but the full definition is actually in the summary.

I disagree. For someone who doesn't know what the gibberish at the bottom of the email means your "proof" may amount to magic or worse software hackery to them.

Also the utility of being able to prove you wrote an email is very small. For the most part people will attempt to prove that they did not write an email, and GPG doesn't help at all in that case.

No, but the HTML5 spec borderline requires it. As the record-with-a-stuck-needle-AC said in an earlier post, "Do one thing and do it well". Well how about we implement a full spec for the modern internet, in full, and have the browser support all that is necessary without having to rely on a group of plugins to do basic browsing. Your anger is very misdirected.

Welcome to the modern internet. It doesn't run in a browser anymore. You need InternetOS, and if you don't have it, no internet for you.

If you're comparing email to Facebook then you have a completely miss-guided view of one of the two applications. They are nothing alike, don't target the same group, don't do the same thing, don't do it in the same way, and don't do it for the same purpose either.

People have email to send text and small files around.
People have Facebook to send a one line message attached to the bottom of a picture of dinner with an Instagram filter.

Comparing the two is senseless. Facebook would actually have more in common with text messaging and twitter than email, and I don't know anyone who prefers to log in to facebook so they can write anything of length in a tiny square box in the bottom right corner of the screen when they could instead send an email.

How do you know how useful it is if you've never thought about how many people use it?

It could very well be for the most people you talk to your GPG signature would be about as useful as a disclaimer asking someone to delete the email if they were the wrong recipient, or the "Please think of the environment and don't print this mail" sign-off.
