Of course they saw it coming. The problem is that they just don't care.

Some people say they have that, but I've never experienced it. I even run it out of a residential IP with no issues. This is probably a good example of YMMV

It probably depends on what you were doing with Ghost, but for me, Clonezilla is the replacement: https://clonezilla.org/

Are you arguing that authors/editors/etc don't need to feed their families? Our economic system is fundamentally broken, in that we need to give creators more financial support. Throwing our books into our current Intellectua

The web used to exist without ads, and it was more functional and useable for users. This idea that we need ads to fund webpages has always been nonsense. They are not at all part of the deal.

I have JS disabled and it loads just fine

I'd recommend blocking all javascript by default. Medium is perfectly readable that way. Most sites are even more readable that way.

A) They are going to make the content an ad anyway. It's not like they are going to turn down one advertising revenue stream just because their old one came back. B) Tons of people pay for content. It's a perfectly viable business

Interesting. I can't say that I ever get that, and I email Gmail a ton . I'm curious if Google outlines how to prevent getting considered SPAM or not. It could be that I've had my domain for >5 years as well.

I do that all the time without any problems. What issues have you seen with it?

Not exactly what you are looking for, but in the movie Cube ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0123755/ ) a giant machine is built to kill people. IIRC, there was no real purpose behind the machine, it was kind of just

Every RSS reader I've used had a "click here to go to the original article" button. Does that not do what you want?

I'm sorry, but I don't buy it. Prioritizing your users is completely an option. This is simply a choice in which Apple chooses money over it's users.

Since I can't edit my last reply, and I misread this originally: No, I don't have any evidence that they do. Nor am I saying that they violate their privacy policy. I'm simply saying that we don't know what they do with

Actually, you are correct, I apologize. I mis-read the question and no, I don't have any evidence of Apple violating their privacy policy. But that's not what I'm stating. I'm only stating that we don't know what th

And I find it insanely naive that anyone would believe what comes from the horses mouth, especially when they don't provide any evidence. Companies say things all the time that aren't true, and I find it silly to believe giant PR

I don't see why not. Plenty of other organizations work that way. Why can't Apple?

Well, that isn't nearly all of the information. That is what they say , just like FB says they they don't abuse your privacy. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-apple-icloud-insigh... They have already

And? A privacy violation via legal means is still a privacy violation. I fully acknowledge that we don't know what Microsoft does with our data either.

by CaptSpify 9y ago
I'm extremely glad they did that, and I absolutely give them credit for it. But it only proves that they were willing to stand up to the FBI. It doesn't prove anything else about how they handle your data and privacy. I'm n

They have been loud, but it remains to be proven. The truth is that we don't really know what they do with our data.

Not that I've ever experienced. The provider may block it, but IME that's as easy as sending them an email to open the port (which I would consider under the umbrella of "decent internet"). I can't say I've eve

I'm glad things work for you. I'm not at all saying that they never work right, but that they often enough don't work right to the point that complaining about their lack of quality is justified. Just because something works

If you ask amateurs to do police work, you are going to get amateur-quality results.
