  1. Do as Sweden do on Will GDPR Kill WHOIS? (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Swedens domain .se does not show who owns a domain. If more info is needed you have to ask the register.

  2. Re:Not stop - using own owned platforms on Is It Time To Stop Using Social Media? (counterpunch.org) · · Score: 1

    Twitter dos not know who I am for one. I also use Twitter using third party clients that are in containers so they know nothing else abot what I do online.

  3. Not stop - using own owned platforms on Is It Time To Stop Using Social Media? (counterpunch.org) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    One does not have to stop using social media, but one can use own owned platforms like Matrix (http://matrix.org).

    Also one can stop sharing everything about your life.
    For example I have Twitter which I mostly use only to read posts as new. I seldom post something myself.

  4. If it will ever be possible to run programs on multiple OSes I guess some kind of container instance would be needed.

  5. Re:Not sure what you mean by that on Can We Replace Intel x86 With an Open Source Chip? (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    How is OpenSPARC vs RISC-V?

    I really hope we get one open hardware taking off.

    It does not have to replace the existing arcitechtures but could act as a suppliment.

    Many people would like something more open now after all ME bugs etc.
    Specially in the INFOSEC community and like.

  6. Re:Apologize and correct on Slashdot Asks: How Should Apple Have Responded To the Battery Controversy? · · Score: 1

    Thumbs up!

  7. Re:security? on FSF Adds PureOS To List of Endorsed GNU/Linux Distributions (fsf.org) · · Score: 1

    This is not really a "random distribution".
    It's really debian with some small customizations.

    The company behind it makes secure FOSS laptops (and soon phone).

    Check out https://puri.sm/

  8. They did get one thing wrong though.. on Google's AI Built an AI that Outperforms Any Made By Humans (sciencealert.com) · · Score: 1

    They named it "NASNet", when it should be named "SkyNet" (as eveyone knows).

  9. Re:No more smartphones? on Google Collects Android Users' Locations Even When Location Services Are Disabled (qz.com) · · Score: 1
  10. So, not only a new better way to streghten material, but maybe also a way to capture the helium that is being produced? (Helium is getting harder to find these days I've heard).

  11. This sound like an area where AI could be really helpful.

  12. "Why can't my phone be my PC? Plug in a monitor, wireless keyboard, and voila! "

    You CAN!

  13. Re:Run Tor on this smartphone? on Security, Privacy Focused Librem 5 Linux Smartphone Successfully Crowdfunded (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    It will work like any GNU/Linux computer but a really small one.
    And yes it will work with Tor as Tor works with GNU/Linux.


    Tor also works for Android in case you are currently using that.
    Check out Orbot and Orweb. (In F-droid "appstore")

  14. Yes and it comes in about a year on Slashdot Asks: Does the World Need a Third Mobile OS? · · Score: 2

    A pure GNU/Linux mobile phone

    https://puri.sm/shop/librem-5/

    Security, integrity, user control. Libre software and hardware. That's why it is needed.

  15. Moment 22? on Ask Slashdot: Whatever Happened To the 'Year of Linux on Desktop'? · · Score: 1

    Users will not come until the most used programs come to Linux.
    Companies will not make program for Linux until there are many users

  16. Re:NO! on Microsoft Paint To Be Killed Off After 32 Years (theguardian.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I also use it in work like once a week or so.
    Mostly to add arrows, circles or underlineing stuff etc to screenshots when making dokumentation.

  17. Why?! on Stream-ripping Is 'Fastest Growing' Music Piracy (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    People are stupid.

    Here some folks like Spotify, Deezer etx give you what you want. Latest music, (streaming as anyone wants) to a really fair price. Actually maybe too low. And still people gonna download it instead.

    Come on!

  18. Qubes OS on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Isolate a Network And Allow Data Transfer? · · Score: 1

    There you have it.

  19. Re:Yet another reason to never use in-store wifi on Amazon Granted a Patent That Prevents In-Store Shoppers From Online Price Checking (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    VPN - there, done :)

  20. Internet on Life On Mars: Elon Musk Reveals Details of His Colonisation Vision · · Score: 1

    No thanks, not until they can fix Gibabit internet connection.

  21. Re:Email simply is not secure on Ask Slashdot: Advice For a Yahoo Mail Refugee · · Score: 1

    Yeah. Email should be seen as sending postcards. It's about that secure.

    It's pretty easy though to send and receive encrypted email using for example PGP.

  22. Bah! on Netflix Says No To Unlocked Android Smartphones (androidpolice.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Bye bye Netflix. Welcome back torrents.

  23. Great news! on Google Found Over 1,000 Bugs In 47 Open Source Projects (helpnetsecurity.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This is what open source is about. Together making software better and more secure!

  24. Re:You reader, please show support on FSF Supports Today's Boston March Against DRM In HTML5 (defectivebydesign.org) · · Score: 2

    But is the cause right and just? DRM protects media company profits by making piracy difficult. As long as the DRM does not spy on me or cause other harm, there's nothing wrong with it.

    And how can you check that it's not doing that since it's not open? No harm in using closed source stuff if that's not ment to not harm you? How about the Intel ME / AMT bug? This is not about piracy, it's about security.

  25. Free / open source on Ask Slashdot: Is ReactOS A Serious Alternative To Windows? (reactos.org) · · Score: 1

    "Imagine running your favorite Windows applications and drivers in an open-source environment you can trust."

    Well, you can trust the OS itself, but since almost every program most people are going to run on it are non-free, you can't trust it.

    (That's not a problem with the OS though)
