Westpac's interface is quite funny. Only very recently did they allow pasting passwords from a password manager, previously you had to use an on screen keyboard (presumably to stop keyloggers).

On that note; any recommendations for Aussie banks that have a secure and modern interface?

> inbuilt native DOM nodes and custom DOM nodes from JS code

What does that mean? What are "inbuilt native" DOM nodes, or "custom DOM nodes"?

I genuinely don't understand why you would want ipv6nat. It seems like a bog-standard firewall; but instead of being able to configure rules about incoming traffic, everything is blocked and you are stuck with that.

Maybe somebody who knows more about this topic could explain it?

Signal is built on top of the phone number system (ie. falling back to SMS, phone numbers as ids). Telephony is pretty clearly a federated system - somebody on one carrier can talk to another; even internationally.

I find it so ironic that he doesn't "support federated systems" when the Signal is tied to one.

You'd be surprised by how many apps support Wayland natively. Gtk+ and QT support it transparently for app developers, and I assume other frameworks do as well.

And Wayland is a huge improvement over X. Whenever I go back to X, it really suffers from tearing on portrait sub-1080p DIV-D monitor.

It is literally training users to dismiss these kind of errors. In Chrome, these errors are really bad, like a safebrowsing warning or a TLS error.

On the other hand, this warning will probably happen a lot! Is Google going to be able to "validate" apps fast enough?
