I got a scrollbar too but the page is neatly arranged to fit the browser's window so I didn't pay attention to it. It's the first time I've seen a footer from the top of a scrollpage.
Very legitimate concern. Jolla is a company that strives for profit, unlike Mozilla. And as such we can't expect them to have the same motives to keep their platform free.
However, Mozilla also doesn't have the same influence, because of that, and makes pretty weak phones.
Jolla have said themselves that they might not attempt to grow quickly as a monolith, but more slowly, and be the centre of many smaller organizations. The original owners have maintained control in order to do that. Bear in mind that the company was born out of the chaos of high finance maneouvring at Nokia.
Agreed, there are relatively few idiots on /b/, most posts there just have a special kind of humor. Not for everyone, but certainly enjoyable for the people who can get used to this.
Youtube, on the other hand, is simply plagued by stupid comments.
It's been attempted, but the issue of storage remains the most bothering. A mailbox can be pretty big and having it distributed over the network is difficult. Not to mention spamming problems.
Maybe some day we'll find the right formula. But I think the who-owns-the-private-key problem is a bigger priority.
"It's been attempted, but the issue of storage remains the most bothering. A mailbox can be pretty big and having it distributed over the network is difficult. Not to mention spamming problems."
Not for nothing, but Usenet is a distributed email system. Yes, most people use it as a forum or a file transfer system, but once upon a time it was a way to send email. One downside was that people had to locally find a path for routing their mail through the network, though I suspect that with modern techniques that would be irrelevant. Storage is not an issue if people can download their mail. Privacy is achieved with public key encryption, authentication with digital signing.
The real issue is not spam (which is already manageable with modern spam filters), but the fact that you need to download your mail and store it yourself. That does not really mesh with how people are using email these days. This is, in my view, the big stumbling block to strong encryption -- people are frustrated by systems that prevent them from reading their mail on their friends' computers (or kiosks, etc.).
well this could be fixed by using something like bittorrent sync to allow you to keep your "inbox" wherever you want all you need is the code... and storage space... and well at least 1 of your own computers that already has the inbox to be online at the same time. this also uses a separate dht table to sync and as long as your inbox is only in the megabyte it wouldn't be that hard to read your email from your friends computer or any other computer... but i do agree I would want to limit the ability to spam the network as this would load down a lot of the peers with excess mail that they actually wouldn't need... maybe somehow limit how many messages each node can send out... as this system would be like torrents but you would need a private key to open... you could send mail to multiple people they download the one message and decrypt it you wouldn't really need multiple message sent so if a node is sending many the rest of the network could identify that and ignore that node...
Maybe, but it's the balance of what you can do rather than any individual item on a specification, particularly when you're comparing devices with other different hardware elements running different operating systems.
Plus developers have got the increased power of the 64-bit A7 and the features of the M7 chip to keep themselves entertained so it's not as if Apple are treading water.
Besides do we really want to recreate the "requires a minimum of X Gb RAM to run" small print world of Windows games?
On the other hand, the POTUS is at least supposed to look powerful in the eyes of the citizens. By recognizing that he doesn't know (and can't know) what's going on, he is announcing to the world that he is a puppet and that the POTUS is nothing but a servant to higher interests.
