"if you're doing nothing wrong you've got nothing to hide"
Response attributed to Snowden: "Saying you don't care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying you don't care about freedom of speech because you have nothing to say."
Thanks man. That goes to my QOTD file right next to "Anne Frank did nothing wrong".
It seems that is not going to work:-( See this post:
Untrusted X11 forwarding was meant to be a way to allow logins to
unknown or insecure systems. It generates a cookie with xauth and uses
the Security extension to limit what the remote client is allowed to do.
But this is widely considered to be not useful, because the Security
extension uses an arbitrary and limited access control policy, which
results in a lot of applications not working correctly and what is
really a false sense of security. This is true even today; I rebuilt
XWin with Security enabled and 'ssh -X' into my linux VM, and got
BadAccess errors from *any* GTK2 program. More on this subject:
X has a mechanism to say a client is untrusted in which case it's not allowed to mess with windows that it doesn't own. Trusted clients can mess with each other's windows.
Can you be more specific? What is this mechanism? Is this about something like having access to X magic cookie stored in ~/.Xauthority? Environment variable? Can I mark/usr/bin/firefox as untrusted, but/usr/bin/xterm as trusted?
The fault is with snaps for not marking them as untrusted,..
This is unknown ground for me, so I have to ask: how can the client be marked as trusted/untrusted? (I assume that this is not something specific to snaps)
Since English is not my first language I'll give you the benefit of doubt and ask for an explanation: What does the word "deserve" mean? What did he do to "deserve to be treated like a human"? Get born? Or something else that was not undone by his acts?
There are first world countries where people, that did nothing wrong, do not have electricity, running water, food, shelter, medical care,... People that are generally much worse off than him. That should be illegal too.
There is some power there, certainly, but the fact that Android is open source means that if Google pushes too hard the partners can simply set up their own app stores, stop calling their devices "Android", and do what they like. Some of the big players are totally capable of doing this.
Capable technically a financially... possibly, yes. Actually going to do that? My twenty bucks says "no way in hell!". Can you imagine a cell phone in the shop with a tag saying "cannot talk to Google Play nor Windows Store"? That would be like a desktop computer with a tag "cannot play games because it does not run Windows".
Bureaucrats, no f*cking imagination or sense of humour.
That happens everywhere. There was an attempt to name a bridge in Budapest (capital of Hungary) after Chuck Norris. A naming pool for a bridge joining Slovakia an Austria was also won by the name "Chuck Norris Bridge". The pool as ignored at the end, but the bridge still has the name on Google Maps.
I care very little too. Until someone is convinced of violating the law it is just another data breach. One of many. The trouble is not the data breach. The trouble is that high-profile figures search and find loopholes in the law and that shows that the law is broken. I knew that already.
It raises cost of FOSS from zero to cost of FAT license. And you can't just drop FAT support because it has a monopoly (as in "dominant") position on the market.
I was watching 15 minute summary of match #1 yesterday by "Michael Redmond 9 dan professional and Chris Garlock"... they were placing the stones on the grid and talking about where the position is weak and strong etc.... what is not clear to me - did they memorize the whole game? I did not see them to use any notes or record of the game...
If I want to buy something, I go to the actual source and I look around there.
Ever tried shopping for accommodation? Very often the actual source has no web site at all, does not publish prices/offerings on its own site, or is buried so deeply that it cannot be found either. Hotels are worst offenders at this.

Now. Time to change the sig.

Bah! I get laid every 2 or 3 years too!
Re: links - I just quoted the post. And yes it is from 2008.
Btw, since the extension is disabled/not present the ssh -X falls back to ssh -Y (untrusted forwarding) on most systems.
Very interesting. Thank you. It fails on my system with
but I'll certainly investigate further. I guess that can be just my distro.

Only based on DNA tests. There is nothing human about what he did on Utoya island.

You are being rational. That's now how the court room works.
You are right. My excuse is that English is not my first language.

That's why we have USB authorization. Since 2007.
Kids and their 16 character passcode, pfff. Get off my lawn!
Amazing. I've got the same combination on my luggage!
Yeah, just try not using FAT anywhere where micro-SD card goes. Start with mobile phones and cameras. Let us know how your customers respond.
