“secure” is relative. They may not be e2e encrypted, but they are still encrypted via TLS, like any HTTPS traffic. It’s the same encryption used for online banking. If you care about your instance admin being able to read your messages, you should use Signal or a Matrix client though.

But remember that only a few years ago, almost nobody used e2e encryption, and it wasn’t much of an issue.

My Fairphone is 4 years old, it has been dropped on the floor (even hard surfaces like rocks and asphalt) countless times. It still works and looks like new. It has a protective cover that covers the edges, but not the screen or the back. It still survived all these years without a scratch.

To be funny, a joke requires a grain of truth. Absurdity alone doesn’t make a good joke.

The majority of aircraft pilot fatalities occur in crashes of privately owned planes and helicopters rather than on regularly scheduled commercial jet aircraft.

By the way, most deaths aren’t reported on the news.

It is so frustrating when a conspiracy narrative is mixed with valid criticism, which ultimately only taints the criticism by association with the “conspiracy.”

Is that Professor McGonagall

I guess it cannot be done if their IT infrastructure was not designed with that use case in mind. Although I’m not familiar with human resource management software, I don’t find this hard to believe at all.

Also, you’ll understand what Biron Tchaikovsky meant with “Please believe me” when you look at their email address. They already tried to do it, and probably complained many times before giving up.

Oh, didn’t the domain somesoftwarecorp.com give it away?

Iframes cannot access the main frame’s DOM if the iframe is from a different origin than the main frame, and they never share the same JavaScript execution context, so an iframe can’t access the main frame’s variables etc.

It’s not required that iframes run in a different process, but I think they do at least in Chrome and Firefox if they’re from a different origin. Also, iframes with the sandbox attribute have a number of additional restrictions, which can be individually disabled when needed.

They still have their place; for example to embed Google Maps or a YouTube video. Generally, whenever you want to embed something from a different website you have no control over, that shouldn’t inherit your style sheets, and should be sandboxed to prevent cross site scripting attacks.

You confused revenue and profit. You must subtract expenses to calculate the profit. For example, if you buy something for $20 and sell it for $21, your revenue is $21, but your profit is only $1.

Facebook reported a profit of $39 billion in 2021 and $23 billion in 2022. This takes their expenses (salaries, offices, data centres, etc.) into account.

obligatory XKCD

Sure, but raw pointers and unsafe Rust are still covered in the official learning material, so I assume that most Rust devs know about raw pointers.

We have pointers in Rust, too :) see documentation

Microsoft does collect a lot of data. But storing every keystroke is first of all impractical, because it would take a lot of disk space to store every keystroke of every user, and secondly not very useful unless they also knew when, in which application, and in what context each key was pressed.
