After that interview, the old straw man trick is becoming popular again these days. (1) The 300lb pound gorilla is Whatsapp being compromised, not Signal (2) if a malicious party has root or controls the OS, they can spy on your signal conversations even if you use the official signed Moxie-approved binary.
No: geographical electoral boundaries should disappear completely. They are based on the outdated idea that each county needs a representative of its own to "protect the rights" of its population. Today it's no longer true that location is the #1 feature for which we have to ensure fair representation. I'd rather have an electoral district based on my profession or field of study, to ensure that someone with my same background gets elected.
Jolla tried BTRFS as main storage on their first phone, but they soon switched to ext3. Their experience was not too great. I think they still support BTRFS on the SD card, if that's your cup of tea. (OTOH, Wayland works great on it, the animations are smooth and you don't even notice it's there.)
Not sure. At least for a modern free software project, this would not be viable because there are too many contributors: you have to contact everyone who submitted a patch and get their agreement if you want to relicense their code.
Sure - I don't care what the reason is; if you want to defend the superiority of your fellow humans, feel free to do so. I just want to know if I am healthy with the highest possible accuracy, and if a machine does it better than a human, then so be it.
Wow - that open letter is horrible. It just continues the old UNIX wars: "look how cool I am, *my* OS is used everywhere --- thanks to the superior microkernel approach and license. Boo GPL".
Not even a mention of the fact that it is used to spy on users...

Agree completely. It looks like most of these arguments boil down to "kids today don't grow up the way they used to, so it must be a bad thing".
I predict curved screens will be the next big thing, then.
Why do you think so? As soon as this tech goes mainstream, it's going to be easier to explain "it's not really me", not more difficult.

Thousands only? That's if you assume that the true, official apps are secure, I suppose?

Local backup is enabled by default, gdrive backup is not. At least that's what they claim (and it seems easy to verify).
#1 is easily fixed by hitting the local Gamestop with a fake moustache. #2 is going to be illegal wherever that clause is illegal.
'I know all the software on my box' --- Unlikely for most people; even your browser can run arbitrary Javascript code now.
Whatsapp.
Clippy was AI.
You can run proprietary programs in Linux, too, you know.
The Intex Aqua Fish is another one which should be easy to obtain.

Client-side Malbolge. Try writing a cryptominer with *that*!
Here it is then: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
And it can detect when a third person is watching at your phone, besides you and Google. Isn't it neat?
Thanks, I have noted down that number now.

Good point -- It's a great way to hinder their scientific development and make sure they are never going to be a threat for humanity.
About number 3: that whole "superposition" thing actually makes things a lot more difficult to compute, not simpler.
So that's normal, right? It's called a power law.

The ME has full access to RAM, at all time. What tells you they haven't saved your encryption key the last time you used it?
