Nope. It is sniping and it's a dick move. You have the name whenever you decide that's what you're calling the project. Registering a domain name for it is only a matter of hosting. And yes, interferring with someone else hos

Sometimes it can help to have a state-provided option to set a baseline that the free market needs to beat in order to attract customers. Some things are just natural oligopolies and the danger of exploitation can be mitigated by just havin

Nah, sorry but that's BS. There's a difference between "everything is political" and "everything of importance to social functioning also has political ramifications". The latter is almost undeniably true, and

Nah, next step would be to pull the UX noose tighter and tighter, limiting things like number of clicks to reject non-essential cookies, restricting data loss (like if you already filled in some form data, etc.), maybe even limiting how muc

Interesting to read, but at the end of the day this really is just saying "nazis aren't welcome here", which should hardly be a controversial take.

Smaller entities should still be required to fix/delete your personal data on request, imho. I'd also appreciate if the exception was conditional on not selling any data or using it for external advertising (i.e. "you might a

It would have been easy to write in generic wording that the "do not track" header must be respected by websites. I'be been wondering for ages why this wasn't implemented.

The cookie banners are largely a cargo cult and don't have to be nearly as annoying as they are. Websites just love to say "we have to do this" rather than improve their UX because the latter just means more work while the fo

Whatever education system you went through and came out saying shit like that is the real grift. Think about it for a second. The USIP is a think tank. Think tanks don't accomplish things, that's not their purpose. Their stated mi

Both are wrong. The "real question" just isn't about this specific case on its own. In a vacuum, this wouldn't really be news in the first place. The problem is the pattern that this is an example of, and together with a

Surprisingly enough, you're wrong with nearly every single assumption you made in your comment, starting as far back as with me not even using any dating apps.

If you let users add an "is okay with nudes" flag, to their profile, then those who want could just consent to receiving unsolicited nudes while anyone else can have a safe experience free of unexpected sausage. I don't see h

It's honestly baffling that I have to explain this, but: Expressing interest in finding someone to date does not imply any form of consent to being sent nudes. Some people might want that, and for them it would make sense if platfo
