“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge’.”

A bit unrelated, but does anyone know what screensaver is running on the MacBook next to Linus? It looks pretty cool.

Interesting article, I for sure didn’t noticed it.

I think that the tech behind this is quite interesting and useful, that is not the issue. The issue is, in my opinion, that the party that attests you are trusted is a firm like Apple, Google, or Microsoft. With all the antitrust implications of that.

Now we as a society need to make a decision, do we want to use this tech to make certain parts of the web more safe? And do we want to place that responsibility in the hands of firms, or should we want a government to pick up that responsibility?

Food for thought this is.

Oh that would be very nice if you can.

Let’s see if the SaveHollywood screensaver is still working so I can play that video as a screensaver (http://s.sudre.free.fr/Software/SaveHollywood/about.html)

Ik ervaar hetzelfde. En geen van de afbeeldingen die gehost worden door feddit.nl laden. Als ik de homepage opent loopt de console vol met 404 errors.

A debate about this in the Netherlands ended with a strong advice from the government to ban smartphones and watches in classrooms.

It does have a positive impact, yet I keep thinking about why we teach the way we do. Is the problem not that the ‘classroom’ is outdated and not serving the educational needs of today?

Is that statement even remotely true?

What data? Because if I look at the data points for Apple Advertising, than it is nowhere near the amount Meta or Google are collecting.

In addition, Apple is very transparent about what they collect, see https://privacy.apple.com to know what they have on file linked to your Apple ID.

But if you have a source that this is not the whole picture, I’m very interested to learn.

Bij mij is het altijd een bijzonder frustrerende ervaring. Net als bij PostNL kan je instellen dat het pakket standaard naar een pick-up point naar keuze wordt verzonden. Bij PostNL gaat dat altijd goed (tenzij het pakket door de brievenbus past of te groot is voor een pick-up point). Bij DHL heeft het nog nooit gewerkt.

Tenzij het pakket verzonden wordt door DHL Express, dan is het is de ervaring vaak erg prettig.

This depends on support by the app developer. I’ve seen it work for some apps, but not for all.

The workaround is to copy and paste the password from the list of passwords in safari or system settings.

As far as I know, the universal password manager of macOS does not work in Firefox.

Apple is releasing a new feature that firefox could implement to access the keychain (the tech behind macOS password manager) but it would require effort by the developers of Firefox.
