The new design looks like it was made in Microsoft Word.

They do deserve it, just not a censored one.

What's wrong with SCTP?

The mobile game is just a reskin of an existing Netease (Chinese) game. Mobile games are also full of microtransactions which players already protestested in Diablo 3 with the real money auction house. Players actually are angry about a Diablo mobile game.

Is there any messenger that does end-to-end encryption with reliable, in-order delivery with decentralized group chat and conversation history syncing? Been looking for years but so far the double-ratchet is inadequate.

What is with all these email clients supporting folders but not labels for Gmail. I get that labels are not a supported abstraction in IMAP, but they are supported through the Gmail API.

I still don't understand how this device could steal login details. Everything should be encrypted and authenticated through PKI when using any website that accepts login details. Whenever I visit a website with an expired certificate, for example, Chrome gives me a big red warning banner before allowing me to continue to the site.

And this time we actually have legitimate, real, censorship to fight.

That sounds like a suspiciously confident prediction given the nature of the internet.

I want a language where you can express time and constraints on time within the language and the type system. I want to be able to guarantee program correctness, pre-calculate fine-grained energy usage, optimize for energy/power-saving mode usage, interface with asynchronous signals, and whatnot -- all with respect to program execution at the ISA-level within some hard real-time constraints.

Compilers make optimizations using detailed instruction timing information, but as far as I know, these details do not bubble up to the surface in any programming language.

It may be wise to keep these details under the surface at the compiler level, but for 8-bit architectures, it would be awesome to have a language where you have explicit control of time.

Should not be too hard to develop a free version of this. Do not look at their source code on GitHub, though.

Migration policy really has nothing to do with this surveillance law.
