When you're resorting to sleeping on benches, there's not a lot of people willing to hire you.
Or let you take a shower.
Or clean your clothes.
And people talk about you like you have a choice in the matter.
They put spikes and dividers on the benches so you can't sleep.
Have you ever tried to find a job when you haven't slept comfortably for god knows how long, haven't had a solid meal, haven't been able to clean yourself up?
Have you ever once, for a moment, stepped outside of your privilege and thought about what it actually means to be in that position, and what it honestly takes to get out it?
Take a nap.

Stay safe.

Think of it a little like any other form of studying. The frustration, patience, and mystical interpretation part? That's called living.

The police ought to shut these rogue units down.

A cache option at the end-user would do absolutely nothing to solve the problem. It's the same situation: You're sending all that data to the end user.

Bah!

Civilization gaps. Any first-world waste that makes it to the third-world stands the chance of empowering the third-world to shed the label. The people with the money and power know that modern civilization is unsustainable, but the best they can do is try to maintain pools of cheap labor by restricting advancement. Look at things like a modern chinese factory, the highest technical assembly lines in the world are people putting things together by hand, being paid minimally for it. But what changes if the people on the bottom of the ladder are empowered with the technology? They stop being at the bottom of the ladder, and the entire power structure as it currently exists collapses.

That's a reading comprehension issue on the user end.

Actually, NSL is a TLA for National Security Letter.
Or as that other gentleman pointed out, an initialization. Where TLA is an initialization of "Three Letter Acronym" where I seem to actually mean initialization, so..
NSA is just as TLI as the rest of them.

This isn't so much 'giving up a privacy tool' as having the latest version of the privacy tool be stripped of the ability to encrypt and then released with the wording that it is not secure. The actions that will prevent a user from using this software were not made by the users. The choice was made by ... who, exactly?

NSL is just as TLA as the rest of the them. As a spook, you gotta understand that you're in with all the other spooks whether you like it or not.

As far as we know so far, Truecrypt hasn't been compromised.
No, you're wrong.
From the TrueCrypt website:
WARNING: Using TrueCrypt is not secure as it may contain unfixed security issues
WARNING: Using TrueCrypt is not secure
It may not use the explicit word 'compromised', but that says it clearly right there. TrueCrypt is compromised, whether a TLA did it or not.

It's a sad state of affairs that our engineers are so disconnected from reality that they forget it.

It doesn't always show the paywall, they've put in a few workarounds here and there so that people following links get the content. It's just more dishonesty in their attempts to monetize a website.
They also seem to send daily ads out pressuring you to get a subscription to their website, if you've given them your e-mail.
I wish content providers trying to sell their content would focus on their content instead of the money. Else what the heck are you selling?

But notice how they were framed.
Can we stop the bullshit and quit pretending like releasing this information isdangerous?
The delay is what's dangerous. The longer the information is kept under wraps and the less willing they are to take the hard shots, the more FUCKED UP BULLSHIT will be perpetrated by these government organizations.

Except that there's no reason you would expect your computer to send you to the moon. I'm not about to ride my bike across the sea. It's not an argument against Wayland, it's an argument against pushing for things that Aren't Ready and pretending like they're suitable replacements for what they're intended to replace.
If the product is not up for the task, it's not up for the task. There are a lot of potentially good reasons for Wayland but every single one of them falls short until it matures to the point that these arguments are unnecessary.
