No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

A country for example could enact their mandatory certificate authority that they control. Then have ISPs who are in the middle use what was mandatory a trusted CA to act as the certificate issuer for a proxy. This already exists in enterprise, a router or proxy appliance is a mitm to inspect ssl traffic intercepting connections to a website say Google, but instead terminates that connection on itself, and creates a new connection to Google from itself. Since the Google certificate on the client side would be trusted from the proxy, all data would be decrypted on the proxy. to proxy data back to clients without a browser certificate trust issue, they use that already mandated CA that they control to create new certificates for the sites they're proxying the proxy reencrypts it back to the client with a trusted certificate and browsers accept them.
It's actually less than theoretical, it's literally been proposed in Europe. This method is robust and is already what happens in practice in enterprise organisations on company devices with the organisations CA certificate (installed onto organisation computers by policy or at build time). I've deployed and maintained this setup on barracuda firewalls, Fortigate firewalls and now Palo alto firewalls.

Wow, I wonder why Russia and China haven't done this yet.
I mean, the US, people have guns, so implementing this might cause people to just start rioting.
But Russia and China has strict gun controls, its totally feasible to implement this.
I think this is a very short-sighted, surface level take that shows of a very naive understanding of how societies become more totalitarian.
They could be, but I assume say like an apple device won't install a ccp root authority unconditionally. Huawei and xiamoi probably could be forced, but the browser too, like Chrome, Firefox and safari need to also accept the device certificates as trusted.
But the pressure in Europe would likely be to trade within Europe, you must comply.
It fundamentally destroys the whole trust of PKI if this did go ahead. We just need to hope it does not.
They already removed VPN apps from the Mainland China version of the Apple App Store. In capitalism, profits are above everything else. China is a very large market with 1.4 Billion people, I doubt Apple is gonna be willing to lose access to this market.
