@tinker "The appeals court upheld a federal district judge’s ruling that the disks made by Eric Lundgren to restore Microsoft operating systems had a value of $25 apiece, even though they could be downloaded free and could be used only on computers with a valid Microsoft license."
I'm not sure using open source is enough. One needs to be actively seeking to destroy any system where such an outcome is even conceivable.

Looks promising, but see my comments on that GitHub issue: https://github.com/GetTogetherComm/GetTogether/issues/81#issuecomment-384369912

Does the Auth0 have source code available?

I didn't read far enough on the Auth0 site to see if their integration is from locally linked libraries, or through an online API. I worry about data collection practices, whether it's inadvertent leaking of user credentials or intentional user credential collection.

I realize that the GetTogether license (BSD2) doesn't require source code disclosure of linked components, but for anything that requires me to type in authentication credentials, being able to audit the code is high on my list of wants.

If RCS or the new #Chat is to be primarily an IP app then there are plenty of other (encrypted) apps that I would prefer, and no reason to make it dependent on the carriers' imprimateur. But it *would* be nice to have a single app that automatically picks the best available mutual protocol. I'm thinking some kind of negotiation handshake like analogue modems use.

Agreed, #SMS isn't a silo, although not a freely accessible protocol either; it's only available at the whim of the carrier. And Google's new Chat uses RCS, supposedly Rich Communication Services, which will be equally controlled by carriers. But my suspicion is that, unlike SMS, Google will become the only app vendor for RCS protocol messages. My 5 year comment was based on the expected lifespan of Google projects. Google Mail has been around for a while, Google Buzz and Wave not so much.

@bobjonkman SMS isn't a silo and it's lasted a lot longer than 3 years. Google's only involvement is getting carriers to adopt 1 standard for RCS instead of building 55 different ones; it's just "Chat", not "Google Chat".

Doesn't need an extension to search with a keyword (or a keyletter). In the settings for #Chromium or #Chrome open "Manage search engines", DuckDuckGo should already be in there, then change the keyword from "duckduckgo.com" to "!". Now you can search ddg by typing "! thing-to-search-for" (yes, you do need a space). For !Firefox and its derivates create a new bookmark with the location "https://duckduckgo.com/html?q=%s" and the keyword "!", and again you can search by typing "! stuff"

I was at a political event yesterday, where it was mentioned that government provides funding to the important academic curricula like software coding in kindergarten and subsidies for business programs. But I noticed that the event's headline performers weren't coders and business folk, but poets and musicians...

Struck a chord: "We assume that humanities faculty
Do not concern themselves with
Grossly material things
Like health and money and the houses they live in
Because they get to read books all day,
And that’s hardly a job at all!"
