Windows Recall demands an extraordinary level of trust that Microsoft hasn’t earned

Op-ed: The risks to Recall are way too high for security to be secondary.

In the #curl project, we spend 3.3 days/day on running tests - around 140,000 tests per commit/PR. In addition to what every developer runs in their own systems of course.

Our test failure rate in CI jobs is at 0.004%, which is annoyingly high when running this many tests.

I made an HTML/DOM viewer you can paste into your console to view or debug any website in 3D. Choose from random/gradient/clear colors or whether layers have sides.

You can save it as a bookmarklet so it's 1 click away. It's just a tiny IIFE JS function.

  1. curl is not made by me alone. I lead the project, we are over a thousand authors in total
  2. I work full-time on providing curl support to paying customers. Some would call it a business.
  3. Not "a" billion people. More like 6 billion or so; every human on the globe that is Internet-connected uses things that use curl - daily.
