Re: [liberationtech] Does anyone know a celebrity who feels strongly about privacy issues?

2013-08-13 Thread David Miller
Maybe the celebrity could read the binary sequence of a compiled program,
and the user could take dictation into a simple command line script?

 I'd like to second Guido's objection that most people don't know what
 a hash is, or have the skills or software required to verify one, so
 this isn't an effective security measure for most people.

 Even if it were, you'd have to ask the celebrity to read a new hash
 for every version of the software, and the videos for old versions
 could be used in a rollback attack.

Quite.


 However, they still need to pick-and-choose... which they would then
 endorse, rather than publish.

Which has long been one of the challenges created by democratising
publishing text :)

Any link suggestions to journals that do this particularly well I may have
missed?

In my world, Pub Med Central [1] and Bio Med Central [2] - who even have a
JSON API [3] for searching papers !

Maybe a periodic vote about what colours to paint the various bike sheds
would be useful?

Have we had votes on:
* The name of the list
* The format of the subject line

Come to think of it, Mailman has loads of settings [1] and I could be
convinced to have a strong opinion about

 Text sent to people leaving the list. If empty, no special text will be
