  • ssh predates the specification, exists somewhat independently of even the idea of a desktop (not common to see xdg env variables like XDG_CONFIG in a headless environment, for example), and uses the homedir/.ssh directory on both the client and server side of a connection. I think it’s less to do with security and more to do with uniformity for something as important as ssh - ssh doesn’t need to change to use the xdg spec, and xdg doesn’t need to allot anything special for ssh when it’s already uniform across the unix spectrum

    The standard of “you will be prosecuted and punished for publicly criticizing the ruling party/leader” certainly disqualifies China from being called a democracy, regardless of how many students they massacred or why.

    If you can’t get a packaged apk directly from the developer/publisher, or from a trusted repository like the play store or fdroid, I wouldn’t resort to third party sources like these. If you can’t compare the signing signature of an apk from an untrusted source to that from a trusted source, you can’t be certain that what you’re installing hasn’t been tampered with.





  • One benefit of base 12 and base 60 over base 10 for everyday use with things like time is simple factorization. You can divide 12 hours evenly into halves, thirds, quarters, and sixths, and 60 minutes evenly into halves, thirds, quarters, fifths, sixths, tenths, etc. With base 10, you’ve just got halves and fifths.
