@alxlg sorry, that was a bit confrontational.

"desktop" linux has a real complexity problem, starting with systemd at the bottom all the way up to the desktop environments. pushing secrets over a message_bus_ is very questionable.

@alxlg
freedesktop, the place everything has to use dbus.

to quote the specification you linked:

> You must specify a session when retrieving or storing a secret. The session controls how the secret is encoded during transfer. Since this is a D-Bus API, the data in all method calls and other accesses in this API will go through multiple processes, and may be cached arbitrarilyby the OS or elsewhere.
>
> The Secrets API has provision to encrypt secrets while in transit between the service and the client application. The encryption is not envisioned to withstand man in the middle attacks, or other active attacks. It is envisioned to minimize storage of plain text secrets in memory and prevent storage plain text storage of secrets in a swap file or other caching mechanism.

i'll rest my case.

@DCR puh.. kommt drauf an. wenn er inzwischen dem laden abgeschworen hat, dann ists nach meinem empfinden unrecht.

wenn nicht, legitimiert er es ja selbst, da er genauso ohne mit der wimper zu zucken handlangerdienste machen würde. er könnte ja auch immer noch verweigern, etc.

kann man aber drüber diskutieren ;)

> When people are drunk or stressed, you see truths about them.
I don't know about the case you were discussing in the other thread; please don't take my tangent response to the quote above in that context, because it isn't.
being under the influence of alcohol is known to remove some inhibitions, so you may be on to something about there, though I don't have a lot of experience with it
but stress? I don't think so.
when I'm overloaded, I make more mistakes, but that doesn't reveal that I'm careless
when I'm overwhelmed, I may be unable to contain some emotions, but that doesn't deny my contained nature
when I'm stressed, overloaded and overwhelmed, I occasionally find myself falling back to some behaviors that reproduce what I experienced in my upbringing, and that I reject deeply and strive to break with. that my higher mental functions, where I choose to be different, find themselves busy with other matters, allowing lowly "auto-pilot" behaviors to come to the surface, doesn't reveal who I truly am, they only reveal a part of my upbringing that I despise. I identify with what I choose to be, and that I manage to be most of the time. though I am, and should be held accountable by my actions in such circumstances, I would find it unfair and unreasonable to mistake that altered, partial and largely foreign state of mind as a "truer" me. makes sense?

Who is SPINSTER? I suggest yall go there and plug your names i and SEE if they are lifting your MINDS feed too without permission. @john @bashy @ot...

@zleap @mttaggart that they don't encrypt keys on the desktop isn't. either you can trust a device or you can't. it's trivial to extract the keys in some way by just waiting for them to be unlocked.

what really is a blunder is that they don't do something about multiple concurrent sessions using the same keys.

@DCR andererseits hält sich mein mitleid mit leuten deren job es ist andere mit gewalt zu unterdrücken in grenzen.

wer sich freiwillig mit dem staat einlässt, ist selbst schuld.

@DCR wird nirgendwo von geredet.. ist das der mit dem gefälschten impfpass?

@iron_bug @theodric there is a difference between having kids with 16 and maybe starting to think about kids with 35+. it's not black/white. with 25 most people should be done with their studies anyway.

all the people i know who had kids early say it was hard, but they wouldn't change it drastically. can't say the same for the opposite.

i'd also guess there is a difference between germany and russia? here you still can do an apprenticeship after 9/10 years of school (which is mandatory) and get an ok paying job - with a good chance of the pay increasing as currently 60% of young people go to university, generating a shortage in craftsmen.

@theodric heed this warning.

also don't fall for the "wait to get kids until you are completely settled" meme.

YOUNG PEOPLE:

It only takes 15 years to turn a 25-year-old into a 40-year-old. Make good use of your time. If you're lucky, you'll spend a lot of your life being an old person.

@splitshockvirus@mstdn.starnix.network

I've never seen him do anything that warrants whatever is currently happening.

He doesn't need to. It's about curating which voices are permitted to be influential.
I'm not even sure it's about his politics because I've seen the same happen to those on the "other side of the spectrum", just in a different way.
I am definitely concerned that "the community" seems to spend a suspiciously high amount of effort keeping out independent voices.

To reiterate it's not just those evil "right wing conspiracy theorists" even Aral got totally railroaded for saying maybe Fedora shouldn't ship with a broken screen reader for 8 years.

@theorytoe @maija @a1ba i'm also a tenant btw. I rent out one property and live in a nicer one. My relationships with both other parties here are impeccable.

The problem really is that regulations around housing create this perverse situation where the seller (landlords) can dictate prices and conditions, but also is the one bearing the most risk. Anti-eviction laws result in landlords being especially picky about whom they rent to (see Drew's rant in OP). Increased regulations around rent demand more and more legal paperwork, meaning that individual landlords often just can't rent properties on their own and require third-party agencies (again, see Drew's rant). And zoning laws with build permits means that the housing supply is constricted as hell, leading only to higher prices.

I mean, you can't just buy a piece of land and build your own house with your own hands for yourself and your family. You must gather a fuckload of legal paperwork, get approvals for your construction project, and in some countries God forbid you install your own gas equipment!

TL;DR the more regulation you get around something, the less of it your will end up with eventually for a much higher price.

@sun the contents are ok, but the whole substack locals whatever show makes me want to call it loonduke

> We estimated vaccine efficacy against symptomatic COVID-19 infection of 88.1% (95% CrI: 77.2, 93.6) at day 35, waning to 60.4% (44.6, 71.0) at day 189 since the second dose. We report that longer intervals between the first and second vaccine dose give lasting increased protection, and observe lower efficacy in individuals aged ≥70 years from around 3 months after second dose

a "vaccine" with severe side effects and 60% efficacy after half a year. :blobthumbsup:
