I love Void, but I personally find that Arch is much better supported overall in terms of packages and the AUR. I haven't tried Void recently though so maybe I should give it another go and help contribute.
Android, at least the parts that would be required to be modified to implement this misfeature, is already open source. That won't help. The DoJ isn't asking for proprietary code secrecy, fundamentally they're asking for key escrow. Storing data in different places isn't something source visibility can address.
Which they will. All they are asking for is some form of key escrow; which can (and has) been given a reasonable security definition.
The problem is that secure implementations of key escrow are much harder; and (given the amount of use the escrowed key will get), certainly going to be broken in practice.
The best way to get a company to do anything is through public disclosure, however it is reasonable to reach out to them first, anonymously (so that they don't sue you or kill you), and hope that they are descent people too.
Personal attacks will get you banned here. Please don't do this again, regardless of how empty another comment is.
You also broke the guideline asking people not to do the "did you read" thing. It would be good if you'd (re-)read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and follow them when commenting here.
Yeah, when I looked at the title, I was confident I've seen that before, but I hadn't.
You might say I had a case of, ah, never mind, bad pun.
On a serious note, I understand there's only a finite number of words, but a limitless number of software project - and yet surely there are still enough names that aren't used for something well-known and widely used. Yes, the DJVU and Dejavu are spelled differently, but it is the same word.
How are you going to address the concern of people that will see this as a way for the government to exploit labor, and put activists and people that disagree with them into a forced-labor program? Wouldn't you essentially be offering an incentive for exploitation?
I would like them to review my numerous fake profile reports to Facebook, which they ignored... it was probably in the 100s during this last election. They failed to act and I am pretty sure that they promote, allow and encourage the use of bots and fake accounts on their social network as it helps inflate their user count.
