This. All this "smart tv" nonsense is only about collecting data and, through "upgrades" like this, forcing people to only use devices which are not older than 3 years.
The EU should consider this too when they are reviewing google: google and all other tech companies should use standards. What would happen if every single railway company would have different track gauges?
Yes, This is pretty much press bloat. Improving hidden services has been a long time goal of them, read their blog. This is just a press release that they've got funding, and actually started working on that.
There are multiple problems with hidden services, for example you can't delegate your domain, meaning that you can't keep a root key containing your master keys offline, and have a VPS or similar server (which you don't trust) run the onion page.
This has been written in a very pro-selldata approach:
For example, if the proxy that’s providing a user’s address is located in a different city from that user, then location data that could aid in targeting ads would be unusable, he said.
So, should ipv6 be enabled because it kills privacy? This article is stupid shit. I really don't like if internet protocols are designed with "targeting ads" in mind. This is where the google involvement into internet standardisation has brought us to: an internet built to spy on us. Google is not very much more than that: a company getting billions from running the most profitable internet ad network in the world (visit this, and search for "Advertising revenues"), and running other services in order to show those ads on.
I think that in countries with many ipv4 addresses per internet user, we won't see any change soon, they still can support one ip per home. The US is one of those. It has tons of IPs. In countries without much ipv4 addresses, the companies (especially new ones, which don't sit on millions of addresses) will see the pressure, and will run a carrier grade NAT & native ipv6 approach.
I see, they have added it as yet another app in the app store, not open source, and I guess requiring to have google apps installed. I don't need shit like that.
They have a simple choice: either they develop the apps Microsoft provides themselves, or they let Microsoft do it, and focus on developing an OS. From their website, you can see, that they do want to remain open. They don't drive an 100% OSS approach. Cyanogenmod never was about 100% open source, installing google apps always has been an extra step in the cyanogenmod installation guide. Also, they didn't replace the proprietary drivers with open ones.
This is about Cyanogen OS, not CyanogenMod. Cyanogen OS is included into phones out of the box.
What they do, is giving people a choice. I have installed cyanogenmod onto my phone because I wanted to get rid of bloatware and google services. If this is the way how Cyanogen can finance CyanogenMod development, and that is still open source modulo drivers, I'm ok with it.
I have been told that Windows NT uses a microkernel, that it delegates most of its tasks to lower privileged processes. Now I hear that windows does http parsing in kernel space. HTTP PARSING. Not even systemd manages to do this. I would expect design descisions like this for DOS, but not for an OS that claims to have a microkernel. Staying with my "monolithic" penguin OS.
Using the flameCloud4000 app, you can quickly access your flamethrower controls from around the world. Do you not want to to put a cloud-controllable flamethrower on top of your roof, to get rid of stupid flanders neighbours showing up, or pidgins shitting onto your roof? Using our patented BirdAway algorithm, the cloud-connected camera quickly scans for birds on your roof and roasts them with the remotely controllable 360 degrees flameWielder flamethrower[1]. With the flameCloud4000 app, you can access your flameWielder to control your roof to be free of pidgins. It also features roast statistics, together with a flameCloud4000 share-this button, where you can share images of the roasted pidgins on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter.

You can however at least limit the time that certificate is valid.

Now I know everything.
Disclaimer: I know it isn't THE dice, still funny.
Stop Microsoft operating systems from being used.
FTFY. Stuxnet didn't care about "internet".
Then google should at least open-source those apps. They can still update them, just like the chrome browser.
I see, they have added it as yet another app in the app store, not open source, and I guess requiring to have google apps installed. I don't need shit like that.
Did they add it to android or to google apps?

Who's laughing now?

The policeman IS in deep shit right now.
I was so looking forward they released this as open source. Now its just another piece of closed source non-improvable non-free pay-here software.
As it seems even tech giant google gets it wrong with its own certs. Lets hope that Let's Encrypt will make these problems of yesterday one day.
They are doing that already: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S...
Thanks, Mozilla!
I'm sure it is a hoax. If it were done by the official systemd team, it would have been deployed to all distros by now, overnight.
That stuff gets published weekly, so they have to chose whether to hoax too early, or too late.

[1] might roast cats too.
or at least systemd! email is shit, it will be replaced by facebook! space idents are the future!
Why is this modded troll?
Is expressing pacifism trolling? What can flamethrowers do anything useful besides killing and grief?
In 36 hours, except another one.
