Can it sets terms on my religious and political views? I'm not speaking about race and sex, you cannot choose them (ok, sex you could in some jurisdictions, and there is difference between sex and gender, please, don't be nitpicky here), but about things I can choose same as I can choose my hardware and software to run.
If there is real effective market (which is not in any country on Earth, especially for banks), you could say: vote with you money, choose bank which suits you. But it is impossible even with bakery, less with banks on market which is strictly regulated (in part as result of lobbying by established institutions, to protect themselves!).
So, on one hand, I must use banks (I cannot pay for many things in cash, here, where I live most of bars and many shops doesn't accept cash, for example, and it is result of government politics and regulations), and on other hand banks is not seen as essential as access to air and water, they could dictate any terms they want.
You DO understand you can own more than one phone, right? Just use one that isn't rooted as a dedicated banking device and the rooted phone for whatever else you need. You are making life far too hard.
It is actually very easy to use VMs for the non attesting machine.
Would YOU be willing to use a bank that refused to use TLS? I didn't think so. How is you refusing to accept remote attestation and the bank refusing to connect to you any different?
How are you defining "general-purpose OS"? Are you saying IoT and robotics shouldn't use a Linux kernel at all? Or just not your general purpose distros? I would be interested to hear more of your logic here, since it seems like using the same FOSS operating system across various uses provides a lot of value to everyone.
Why shouldn't they use the kernel, systemd, and a few core utilities? Why reinvent the wheel? There's nothing requiring them to pull in a typical desktop userspace.
I agree but it's difficult to argue against it. There is just so much you get for free by starting with a Linux distro as your base. Developing against alternatives is very expensive and developing something new is even more expensive. The best we can hope for is that someone with deep pockets invests in good alternatives that everyone can benefit from.
General purpose operating systems are fine and in some cases, preferable. However, they should be small, simple and designed with first class portability. Linux is none of those.
Depends if they can Google your name or any identifier you gave them and find something. Not just Google, but also their internal tools. They can ask Facebook: is this email address associated with any Facebook account? How about this phone number? Those are two things you need to provide on your visa application.
Funny, but my e-mail address IS associated with Facebook account, but it is not my account. My e-mail address is very popular among some demographic who doesn't understand concept of e-mail, and, as a result, associated with tons of accounts on all services which don't check e-mail with code or link. booking.com, for example, but it is only most visible and funny :-)
It was known among MTB riders who ride at night sometimes: typical XM-L T6 Chinese headlights were unusable in the forest when you move fast. Good diodes (like Nichia 219B) worked. And XM-L was dominant even in very expensive «brandnamed» lights for many years (you could buy Aliexpress headlight for $20, you could bu "Italian" lamp for $250, result is the same)
I'm not in this scene anymore for many years, but when I was, I built my one lamp from custom light engine (essentially round PCB with DC-DC current limiting schematics an LEDs) with 3x219B, Chinese body and CARCLO TIR Optics...
With current size of the network, it's probably managed by sending messages to operators chat “Hey, IP a.b.c.d is doing that again”.
Remember that Fido and Usenet relied on independent server admins voluntary enforcing the rules for global groups (and allowed the alternative sister hierarchies or local appendices with different rules). It is possible to give more power to local decision maker, and share the global ideas.
Link establishment mentions validation of the circle by the intermediate hops. I suppose that someone who is sending a lot of packets without participation from the other side can be put into exponentially worse and worse queues. Or maybe not. There's a lot of things to test.
I mean, this is not a solution if we want winder adoption.
I was FIDONet node (and even hub) sysop, and I remember well, that FIDO was rigid hierarchical structure — you have your NC, and NC can discommunicate any node in his network. Yes, it was elected position, but after elections it was mostly dictatorship.
It doesn't seems like «Fully self-configuring multi-hop routing over heterogeneous carriers» advertised by this project, rather opposite.
> Does anybody know how good routing in this Project protected from malicious actors, or simply badly configured nodes?
Reticulum requires you to manually define your uplinks, including remote servers. If this remote server is blackholing your traffic, you are SOL.
If you define multiple remote servers, then you may be in luck iff your destination is advertising its route on a path (chain of servers) that has no such hostile nodes.
TWAIN was not limited by PhotoShop, native (and naive) MS application "Scan & Fax" supported it too, and many other raster editors and document organizing applications too.
Also, TWAIN is not Windows-specific! It is (was?) supported on Windows, Linux and macOS. It was not invented by MS or Adobe, but by working group where MS and Adobe doesn't present!
It is supported by vueScan (of course), but Classic Mac doesn't.
Film photography revival goes full swing, I hope there will be new good film scanners with MF format support. Nikon CoolScan 9000 costs unreasonable money, if you factor in lamp which can burn-out and overall age of the machine. And drivers are pain in the ass on modern systems, though, again, vueScan supports it. But ICE (dust removal) works better in Nikon software.

I see this situation completely screwed.
