They can request additional compute time through the browser's standard permission request system.

Then I'm afraid you're just wrong.

Open source is a well-defined term with a well-defined meaning. In fact, it was coined precisely because "Free Software" was considered to be too ambiguous.

Words have meaning. You can't just change the meaning of a well defined term to suite your views.

I'm more interested in knowing how they determine where I am. Do this feature require a GPS-enabled device to activate?

Not to turn this into a contest but Rust officially supports windows 7. In fact I believe Rust fully supported windows XP too until very recently when they decreased platform support to supported-but-unbuilt-and-untested.

Another benefit of a community-driven language as aposed to a corporate-controlled one.

I still have a hard time accepting this happened. Sovereignty doesn't seem to exist anymore: We have a single government, 10% privileged human beings that have some rights and say in what it does, and 90% who don't.

You're being uncharitable in your reading.

GP is rightfully pointing out that political discourse is far often centered on identity politics to the exclusion of more important topics such as human rights.

No one is saying that one precludes the other except you.

If citizens don't have a say, then that's not a democracy.

Which will encourage courts to render these "agreements" invalid. I think there was a study that showed that it would take the average user 40 man-years to read and understand each software or serive legal agreements they "agree" to.

Software legal agreements are a farce, and it's only a matter of time before governments step in and regulate the shit out of it.

What do you mean by PGP "not [being] as secure as the people using it thought that it was"? Can you mention something specific?

This is only necessary because the company has been honorably mismanaged for so long and lacks any sort of consistent vision.

Maybe Mozilla should also look into reducing leadership compensation or at least have it reflect the performance of the company.

This is an interesting interpretation of what he stated.

What I got from it is that the strength of PGP is in its flexibility and that it gains that flexibility from being standardized and open.

Of course you can extend PGP (or any protocol really) to include cryptographic handshakes, but that's besides the point.

With the rate that video-based deepfake projects are progressing, video/image-based verification likely won't remain useful for much longer.

Any usecase forwhich no specialized solution already exists. Source code signatures and Apt/RPM packages are good examples of this.

People in this industry use OpenPGP because it's flexible and amendable to almost any usecase you can think of. "Better solutions" are usually indeed better but are also so specialized for their purpose to the point that they can't be easily used for any other purpose.

OpenPGP is used to secure everything from simple messages and email to authenticating OS updates for most servers today.

Should they use something more specialized now that it exists? Sure, but that an argument for PGP not against it; PGP is useful in situations where no specialized solutions exist or are inadequate.

Until something comes along that can cover every situation where OpenPGP is useful, I can't see people stop using it (much to the dismay of the 5 vocal crptologists that keep arguing against it).
