Feels like the wrong solution, having devs self-censor more is probably going to lead to more bottled-up situations


What causes this level of exaggeration? (which seems to be across all indian news sources talking about such topic), especially considering india is strong on compsci, right?


> The underlying assumption made by this policy is that if straight white men (the only group not mentioned in the allowable group) are allowed to apply, it will unfairly hurt the chances of those mentioned because they cannot compete.

Why is the assumption being considered incorrect? Go to your local toys store and tell consider what the effect of the STEM focused toys being next to the toy soldiers, and not next to the barbies and kens, is going to have on future students

And consider the effect on STEM toys usually being priced higher (for valid reasons) than other toys is going to have on children from demographics that generally lack financial freedom?

Not understanding a core concept of systematic whatever-u-wanna-call-it, before writing this article, makes it very unconvincing


not web 3 exclusive

> Guaranteed 256bit Operability

> This one isn’t exclusive to Web3 in the sense that it’s not possible on Web2, but rather, it’s not feasible on Web2.

> You can design, on web3, with the assurance that every user is guaranteed able to participate in 256bit-key features.

what does this even mean, is it just to say everyone has a privkey?


Yes. On web2 you may need passwords and have to worry about how secure your users passwords may be. With web3 you can assume as a default that all users can use 256 bit keys with near infinite security. This is possible on web2 as well but isn’t feasible as it’s too hard to convince all of society to start using 256 bit passwords on existing platforms, whereas on web3 it’s a pre-requisite.


I mean, we have better with https://webauthn.guide/#registration and the such, which is able to use any TPM for a given system


Should I maintain separate keys per application? What happens if my key is compromised?


intentionally didn't scope itself within the pre-existing concept of domain name infra, but wants to be a first class alternative

tlds being owned by singular people under hns don't exactly fix the issue, do it


Sorry to be rude-ish

Probably should be able to do the same with just:

    systemd-inhibit --what=idle --mode=block sh -c read
or the more easier ways

https://github.com/eonpatapon/gnome-shell-extension-caffeine https://github.com/coadmunkee/gnome-shell-extension-espresso

Or via api, which everything leads to

https://people.gnome.org/~mccann/gnome-session/docs/gnome-se...

Noting other apps generally will inhibit via stuff sent through X/Wayland afaik, so this doesn't cover all methods


Huh, nice. Feel a bit silly that I didn't find those extensions in my googling prior to making this


> so maybe we're all off the hook! :)

Or maybe its entrapment!

Same as when accepting a job, never trust someone who says a section of their contract/terms won't be enforced.

I might need to start looking for another provider...

A lobbying group with a pleasing name, wanting to weaken recent privacy-improving changes around cookies et al.

Also I'm left wondering how many people are behind this, I've counted a total of 2, the media contact, and the lawyer filing the court proceedings


https://getmetastream.com/ is an also-FLOSS alternative, instead of a server, it syncs site interactions (e.g. opening up the same video on each person's browser, and then automatically hitting play, seek, etc)

So, pros and cons of each approach


How does this approach handle different internet speeds? Video playback will be out of sync if buffer times differ.
