in reply to @ 2016-138 22:05 UTCGoogle and Apple are the current Big Bads (if you believe in such things)
in reply to @ 2016-138 22:04 UTCNo phone needed. I pay them for a phone number

in reply to @ 2016-137 23:45 UTCI use Vitelity to give me a direct SMS -> XMPP hookup
in reply to @ 2016-137 12:29 UTCWon't a data with a single, strict field behave the same?
in reply to @ 2016-137 12:27 UTCA data with one constructor that takes on strict argument could be optimised in this wauy (I think). Otherwise the "optimisations" would add strictness where the programmer didn't expect it.
in reply to @ 2016-137 12:23 UTCRust is not really a high-level language, though. I'm not sure a comparison would be fair. I love rust, for systems and other low-level stuff, but Haskell remains my go-to for quickly banging out apps
in reply to @ 2016-136 15:14 UTCSo much stuff getting added to base.
in reply to @ 2016-136 12:11 UTCsigh
in reply to @ 2016-135 21:05 UTCLooks like you want at least mkDuplexFileHandle, not sure if there's an IODevice you could use
in reply to @ 2016-135 19:51 UTCetnaviv-compatible stuff?
But I do realise it's (very, very) hard
in reply to @ 2016-133 20:30 UTCI would use Frege if I needed to be on the JVM for some reason, but usually I don't.
in reply to @ 2016-132 11:24 UTCWorked for me for Flash (removed flash and flash clones from my system going on 8 years now, no regrets)
in reply to @ 2016-132 02:20 UTCI'm pretty sure you'll be able to just uninstall the Adobe blob (there isn't even going to be one for Linux AFAIK) and then EME won't work
in reply to @ 2016-129 22:40 UTCI didn't know that this extended beyond the Met. Very cool.
in reply to @ 2016-129 22:35 UTCMostly modifying things like the Firefox addon panel and documentation files that "advertise proprietary software", I think
in reply to @ 2016-129 15:16 UTCgNewSense unfortunately only just started work on the lastes (year old) debian stable. I'm hoping the system gets standardised and documented so that more people can help and it can stay a bit more up-to-date.
For now, Trisquel is pretty good.
in reply to @ 2016-129 12:42 UTCIf only any phone's WiFi was supported…
in reply to @ 2016-126 15:54 UTCYeah, Jingle Voice/Video works well for 1:1. Jitsi extends it to work for multiparty also
in reply to @ 2016-126 15:51 UTCThere are so many of them. The biggest issue is fragmentation, not lack of existence.
in reply to @ 2016-125 07:40 UTCDoesn't prevent sniffing at non-wifi nodes (that is: the whole rest of the Internet) so the traffic (if not end-to-end protected) is still visible to anyone putting in a little effort.
in reply to @ 2016-124 16:50 UTCIt will still pass through many Internet nodes unprotected
in reply to @ 2016-124 05:45 UTCNot sure why they want to encrypt the mesh… it's unencrypted on the Internet. Need to use end-to-end anyway.
in reply to @ 2016-124 05:44 UTCWhat kind of hurt could even happen? More effective competition (very unlikely) seems like the only theoretical way, even.
