  • The problem is that you can issue two certificates for one domain from two different CAs. Which one is valid?

    If you only have one of the certificates, you also can’t know that another exists to warn the user that they might be connecting to a government-operated middleman.

    The problem with a government issued CA being trusted is that the government can now issue whatever certificates they want for any website, and then all they need to do is force your traffic to pass through their servers first.

    And no they don’t even need to make fake website clones, they have you connect to their proxy server which has a valid cert, then they have everything plaintext to save off to look at, and they forward the connection to the original website. Reverse proxy servers to accomplish this take minutes to set up.


  • To be fair, Apple made audio sharing an absolute nightmare. I have never gotten my remote control software audio to work on Mac and have tried multiple non-Crapple solutions.

    Discord won’t even make it as painless as possible though, and getting it set up requires downloading a third party thing now (from outside the app, before I could at least click a button inside the app).

    I totally gave up a few months ago on Discord on Mac because I was sick of booting into safe mode. I’m not sure who is to blame for this but I imagine it’s Apple.













  • The base piece of software for your computer being tied to a subscription is unacceptable, period.

    Subscriptions are already too heavily pushed and for the most part are just being used to eek more money out of people.

    I’m sure this subscription will also get mixed with the ads systems they are bolting into Windows and that stuff is already unacceptable.

    Microsoft is treating the market as cattle to farm money, their behavior quite frankly has strayed into morally reprehensible. “Cooling jets” is not necessary, breaking up Microsoft is.
