@knoppix95 Without knowing the details, I don’t trust this as long #Discord as a whole remains #proprietary software. Even assuming that #DAVE is 100% secure, why should we trust that there is *not* a backdoor in Discord that will just bypass DAVE and leak the keys anyway?

I refuse to trust Discord or any other proprietary software for "secure" communications.

Open source is benefiting from the current AI trend: some projects are already improving their security posture and reducing their attack surface.

Proprietary software, for now, seems more out of the loop.

But once LLMs become better at analysing binaries, compiled code, and obfuscation, I wonder how vendors will handle the likely increase in vulnerability disclosures.

LoRa mesh is an absolutely PROPRIETARY, CLOSED SOURCE scam that wasted my money

I spent over 100k sats on 2 pieces of landfill trash, because of retailers and other websites and random people lying about LoRa mesh protocols being “open source.”

The goal was already to spread the word about lies these retailers and other related sites spread, e.g. gaslighting users about end-to-end encryption, but there’s no point using the network to spread the word about the lie of being open source. It’s a fool’s errand, the corporations already scammed my money out of me and they’ll just use me to make even more money while I try to tell people to stop wasting the money.

So now I have a SenseCap and a Wio Tracker L1 Pro shipping to me for nothing except to scrap for parts like the batteries, and throw the malware transceiver/computer parts in the garbage so nobody can use them to spread this piece of shit malware cult.

Have fun downvoting/removing/banning me, to the majority here moronic enough to side with the scammers even after reading the truth.

And we no longer care. We already have to carry the #financial #burden; we can just shift it. It's not overnight and it hurts, but it is a fighter's way forward. I'm predicting a landscape filled with micro economies. Those that present absolute open source get some of my attention. 🚫 #proprietary

I have to disagree with the author of this article. Surely, Minecraft has come a long way, but the one thing that really—and I mean *really*—repels me is #Microsoft requiring players to log in with a Microsoft account. What can I say? I just don't see any fun in letting Redmond monitor my activities, and that's why I have Luanti on both my Android and my Fedora computer.

#Inkjet #cartridges suck and should be banned! Finally got some more paper for my #printer today but then the #cyan cartridge runs out of #ink, so I put in a new cartridge and guess what? The new one doesn’t work at all despite the printer saying the cartridge is full of ink. Like, I tried everything to fix it including reinserting the cartridge, doing the #nozzle check, cleaning the heads, performing a head realignment, restarting the printer, updating the #firmware, printing a cyan purge test page, none of that worked. The last two options I can think of are
1. Try using an official #Epson cartridge, since we’ve been using aftermarket cartridges for a while since the official ones are way #overpriced, but the aftermarket ones have been working fine up until now and if it doesn’t work, then that’s money on an #expensive Epson cartridge wasted.
Or
2. Just get rid of this #capitalist cartridge printer and buy a #tank one, because I’m done with printer companies locking us into #proprietary cartridges. I wanna be able to use whatever ink we buy without having crappy #DRM. Plus this printer is now 10 years old anyways, it’s lasted surprisingly long and has outlasted very other printer we had, but this problem as well as the constant need to realign the heads to stop lines from going through the ink are signs it’s time to upgrade to a tank printer.

I hope one day the governments of the world ban inkjet cartridges, because they are horrible for the #environment and are just here to keep prices up.

Pics attached of the #nozzles in case anyone can see what’s gone wrong, but I highly doubt there is anything that can be seen.
