And it's not only about user data, it would also expose the website to content spoofing in public wifi, which would for example allow the attacker to inject fishing content in the website.
SSL encrypts the data you're sending but it also ensures that you're communicating only with who you think you are. Without SSL you can't be confident about any of that.
As some others mentioned it depends on context. My project managers do a lot of shit I don't want to do : handling budgets, discussing project scope with clients, handling authorization request to external APIs (I'm in a big company) and also most PO stuff (writing tickets and handling sprint ceremonies).
Sometime they are a bit annoying because they freak out about deadlines and ask question every 10min while you try to focus and actually solve the bug, but at least they are self aware that it is because they feel helpless in this kind of situation 😛
Also, more about the proxy thing, sometime I have to explain technical things that simplifies and then they will probably explain it again to clients with a second layer of simplification. But I usually never hear about this again, which probably means that they manage to reassure client and maybe add a bit of bullshit on parts that don't really mater, which spares me a lot of time overall.
I see a lot of people saying that your managers are bad managers, but I think your organization also put them in a badly defined role.
The thought that internet becomes shitty enough that you need a GPU to browse it is really frightening me. If we really reach that point that may be to run an AI which filters out AI generated spam which would really depress me 😭
Have you given a try to Organic Maps ? It is more friendly than OSMAnd Although, it still lacks a better search bar I think.
Yeah, people who built those modern technologies are mostly over 50, I suppose.
I'm not a snob. I've just never had a PC good enough to run most games at 60 fps. I've just never acoustumed to this level of confort 😛
Most search engines are just bing. Search engines are roughly in the same state of non-diversity as web browsers :/
I haven't use Rust for a while but I think this Mutex::clear_poison was particularly missing :D
On a lighter note, the protocol might be proprietary but the bridge still seems to be fully open source : https://github.com/ProtonMail/proton-bridge
I don't think think Proton shows bad will on this one. The only alternative I can think of (as a non expert) would be IMAP + GPG encrypted emails but very few desktop clients support GPG, which would make them less accessible 🤷♂️ Having their own protocol also probably makes it much much easier for them to iterate on it, opening up usually makes think much robust but also slower.
And on the other hand it is a very obvious question to expect. If you have something hide how on the world are you not prepared for this question !? 🤡
Yeah, the fact that AI progress just relies on "we will make so much money that no lawsuit will consequently alter our growth" is really infuriating. The fact that general audience apparently doesn't care is even more infuriating.
That's still my point, for example you could inject your own login system "create an account to keep track of your favorite artists, or some new shiny feature". For there you can get people's personal information, potentially a password they use on other services.
An URL is something the general public will trust, if the content can be messed with you repurpose the website's reputation. I took phishing as an example but even my not-so-creative and non-expert brain can think of other things : asking for donations, propaganda, advertising, censorship, ...
