Again - I don't trust the people who created the specifications; and I don't trust either the free implementors or the non-free ones, though my inclination would be to go with non-free if I were forced. As it is, I simply don&#x27

I don't trust any of the 2FA providers. And I have neither the time nor the interest to try and learn to code it in binary.

While I understand how some people can take this as a cautionary tale in favor of 2FA, as someone who doesn't like it and won't use it, I guess my mindset is very simple. There's the old saw that over time, computing has evo

The writing of non-interpreted code (i.e. assembler, binary, etc), smaller programs that work longer, and less overall dumbing-down of computer use?

I guess my feeling could be summed up with... if you're going to be on an unpopular system, expect a less-polished experience. When Windows took up 90% of desktop marketshare, and the rest was squabbled over by Mac, Linux, etc., the f

I'd be happier with a more private experience, at whatever cost it takes. As far as device pixel ratio, when I think of pixel ratio, I think of 4:3, 16:10, etc. Frankly, loading larger images means more data sent and received, which i

1) So make a request that Tor-like functions tell servers that our OS is Ubuntu. Perhaps I'm obtuse here, but who gives a darn if it's a matter of privacy - isn't the issue to hide under the most common OS? 2) So we send (th

Then what else is it? There's a strong focus on community building (i.e. push/pull requests) (social), and those people create the bulk of the site's content (media), which in turn draws in outside users and encourages them t

Just as a thought, would it be impossible for Firefox to render the Tor browser bundle unnecessary, by making every release of Firefox feature Tor functions (and other privacy controls) by default?

As a fellow Firefox user (writing this on Firefox, btw), I've heard people complain about performance issues all the time with Firefox vs. Chrome... and I've never understood the problem. Firefox with ~20 addons starts up like a

I suggest that you switch over to development for Pale Moon. There are lots of positives behind it, and all that I've heard is that they have no plan at the moment to switch over to WebExtensions.

Yahoo mail is unlimited, has a sane folder structure, and in spite of the fear-mongering, is less likely to be attacked than GMail nowadays.

At the risk of sounding silly, what advantage does this provide over buying a $20 TracFone for cash and activating it without an account on TracFone.com over a public Wi-Fi? Or, better yet, not bothering to "activate" it, but usin

Wouldn't that work like the old Compuserve or Prodigy email addresses? And if it would, wouldn't most email clients have to have "back-compatibility" with it?

There is a Mature filter on imgur already that's human-determined. The problem is that people posting pictures will mark things mature unnecessarily, and there have been trolls who put up hardcore pornography without marking the image

You know, even in image searches "-inurl:pinterest" works pretty well.

That's funny - I stopped using Microsoft Office because of that very thing. I have Office '07 still for some minor graphical compatibility reasons, but generally speaking I use the bundled, free, offline, WordPad/NotePad, Li

I find that Firefox works well enough for my normal need. My other two browsers are SeaMonkey & PaleMoon (sense a pattern?). The only alternative browser I use is Links.

I'm sorry, but do you mean SNAP as in SnapChat, or do you mean SNAP as in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program? Either one has good reason to have a sizable team.

I'm actually going to disagree on the ServiceMagic comment that the contractor doesn't care. I worked for a local contractor for several years, and we had to care, if anything, more, about those orders. Those jobs were the ones mo

Just the fact that you're not giving into the FOSS brigade pushed me over the edge to download and use it.

Streaming is downloading. The information is on your PC; you should have the right to do with it as you please forever.

Yes, it's the only positive thing about Chrome and HTML5, really.

See, I see it rather that, no one is to be trusted - whether they happen to know something or not. Like I said elsewhere, it's the Prisoner's Dilemma writ large. My automatic assumption is that all other prisoners are out for the

No, it's simple - if I don't know what I'm looking at, I don't want anybody who DOES know to get to look at it, either. The person who does know how to program in whatever language has an inherent advantage in that situ

I consider it a given that developers and IS professionals would (at least) publicly disagree with that statement. After all, if they agreed that closed-source was better, there would be fewer open-source projects, which gives them a smalle

I generally don't trust open-source. Too many people have access; and therefore I assume anything open-source has zero security. It's a related to the Prisoner's Dilemma - it's most advantageous to those who find exploi
