    Another AI project that will probably be dead in a few months. Also open core not open source as many of the features are not available via self-hosted version.

    Self-hosted version which source is available and hosted-version which is not public, are not the same. Or at the very least, planned to not be the same by your own admission as you talked publically about planning on adding paid-only features to hosted version.

    Take out “AI features” and you are left with nothing, so yeah, AI project… It also relies on proprietary AI models that you don’t own, so it can stop working at any point and that would be out of your control.

  • While the researchers have confirmed all YubiKey 5 series models can be cloned, they haven’t tested other devices using the microcontroller, such as the SLE78 made by Infineon and successor microcontrollers known as the Infineon Optiga Trust M and the Infineon Optiga TPM. The researchers suspect that any device using any of these three microcontrollers and the Infineon cryptographic library contains the same vulnerability.

    Both. The cryptographic library in question is also used in other cryptographic applications too, so it’s a huge mess.








  • Why is JSON better than XML? It’s more modern, sure, but from technical perspective it is not objectively better right? Not something worth switching protocols for.

    XML is unnecessarily complicated. By trying to cram everything into the spec, it’s cumbersome and hard to parse.

    You mention XMPP has transports as opposed to Matrix bridges. I thought they give you roughly the same outcome. What’s the difference?

    The goal is the same, but the way they archive that is different. For transport to work, you need an account on each platform you are using the transport on. It relays the messages through that account by mimicking the client. While bridges work by relaying the messages between rooms and not specific users.

    My understanding is limited, so if you are interested, please do your own research.


  • Google killed XMPP momentum. And while Matrix has many issues it needs to figure out, especially the development being almost exclusively supported by a for-profit company, they seem to slowly (very slowly) work towards more independence.

    Matrix did some things right. Going with JSON spec instead of XML, having Element as uniform cross-platform client, offering bridges as a way to stay connected with your family and friends without needing to convince them to move (XMPP offers transports, but they function entirely differently) and offering end-to-end encryption by default.

    XMPP in true open source fashion doesn’t have any uniformity from user perspective. Different ways to do the same thing on different clients, different clients on different platforms. That is a benefit for a savvy tech nerd, but it’s a huge inconvenience for a non-techie family member or friend.

    It’s the same type of microtransactions that they had in Resident Evil 4 Remake, so it’s probably not so much a test as a limit they found where backlash is small enough that it still makes sense. But there are 2 big differences with Dragon’s Dogma 2.

    1. They fucked up the PC port.
    2. They increased the base game price.

    Anyone that tries to justify microtransactions in a paid game is a moron. They were literally introduced in free to play games to finance the game development. In paid game, it’s just pure greed.
