Time to donate to GrapheneOS[1] and alternatives[2]. Or contribute [3].

Will GrapheneOS even survive the fact that Google will stop publishing Pixel code and such?


If you maintain it as a hard fork, why not? New phones technical specifications improvements are diminishing last few years anyway. As long as it works, it can last for many years to come. The question is only in the project budget, I think.


Why not LineageOS? They have better and more updated preinstalled Apps.


They also support more devices.


I know Cardano has something similar (not sure how it's anonymized but it operates on the need-to-know basis) called Veridian[1][2]. And, of course, there are identity platforms from Ethereum[3].

Hey xvilka, you are correct! There are thousands of identity verification companies around the world. The difference is we use Changefly ID.

I encourage you to check out the links below to learn how the Changefly ID authentication process works and how Changefly is truly changing the game for privacy and security:

There is a better alternative to libxslt - xee[1][2]. It was discussed[3] on HN before.

Disclaimer: I work on Chrome/Blink and I've also contributed a (very small) number of patches to libxml/libxslt.

It's not just a matter of replacing the libxslt; libxslt integrates quite closely with libxml2. There's a fair amount of glue to bolt libxml2/libxslt on to Blink (and WebKit); I can't speak for Gecko.

Even when there's no work on new XML/XSLT features, there's a passive cost to just having that glue code around since it adds quirks and special cases that otherwise wouldn't exist.


> Xee implements modern versions of these specifications, rather than the versions released in 1999.

My understanding is that browsers specifically use the 1999 version and changing this would break compat


As if removing XSLT entirely won’t break back-compat?


XSLT versions are backwards compatible.


Instead of Antiword, maybe using LibreOffice parsers directly would solve the problem for parsing all kinds of the documents.


It would have been nice if it also parsed old DOC (and RTF) formats, maybe ODT[1] as well.

Forgejo started implementing it but it's very far from being useful in practice yet. A lot of work needs to be done first[1], might take years, I guess.

[1] https://codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/federation/src/branch/m...


It all depends on interest from the developer community. Many devs are rooting for forge federation for years and are waiting for it to happen. Both Forgejo [0] and ForgeFed [1] are fully community-driven free software efforts, and things go as fast as there are people stepping up to do the work.

The ActivityPub-related [2] epic at Gitlab [3], which I also linked in another comment, is another example. It is a ramp up to adding support for the ForgeFed protocol extension. Gitlab has mentioned they do not give high priority to the issue, but will leave it open for community contribution. At one point implementation-wise things went very fast here, until people involved got other duties.

For everyone who'd love to see the fragmented landscape of separate self-hosted code forges become inter-connected and offer similar FOSS project discovery experience as Github: You can help make that a reality.

Edit: I should of course also mention Codeberg [4] which runs Forgejo on their servers with some additional facilities for scaling to support their big community. An example where a centralized community hub starts to shape which may one day become a real competitor to Github (where it comes to hosting FOSS repo's).

At this point investing time (or money) into RedoxOS[1] would be more rational.

An example of cyberpunk that is not dated - Hyperion Cantos[1]. It might not look like cyberpunk at the first sight but it definitely is.

[1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperion_Cantos


I disagree. Hyperion has some of the surface elements of a cyberpunk work - primarily by way of "The Detective's Tale" (Lamia's story) - but it isn't cyberpunk overall, no more than it's a horror novel by way of Duré's story (for instance).


I'd say parts of the universe and one and a half of the pilgrim's tales are cyberpunk, but a lot of it isn't tonally so.


Neuromancer makes more sense after reading remaining two books in the trilogy: Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive. They are not as good as the first one, especially the last one, but make the story complete and more nuanced.


You can use stricter languages for both, like Rust, for example. Or even stricter like SPARK dialect of Ada. If AI will be able to produce code in these languages, the code will be way more trustworthy.
