Well if my country floods its all over, considering we're under sea level the water may never leave. And I can imagine Japan doesn't want to risk Tokio.

Using a VPN based in the US seems contradictory. That said F stalkers, I won't cry if they catch him/her.

Ah yes lets blame Trump! He was elected you know. I think it goes deeper than that. America never really embraced the dream of a utopian socialist welfare state. The government is weak, constantly being influenced by moneyed interests and c

Regulations don't fall out of the sky. Ban lobbying and stop corporations from financing political parties. That would begin to solve this I guarantee it. But so long as your ISP has the ear of lawmakers you're SOL. We're goi

Not sure why the IRC is even needed in the, at least on paper, wealthiest country in the world. I thought NGOs like that were reserved for 3rd world countries. When there's an earthquake in Japan does the Red Cross fly in? In my opinio

Surely you know how search engines make money? They need users. Can't sell adspace without users. Were Mozilla says recommendations I say payed referrals ;) I mean yeah search engines started as charitable organizations long ago but no

There is Pale Moon. Being a very niche browser developed by a small community it is unlikely to add to the internet data mining gold rush that is currently going on. Pale Moon doesn't even accept the new DRM standards that Mozilla was

True. Americans tend to forget the EU has very different privacy and consumer protection laws. Either out of ignorance or arrogance.

Christ Almighty if I wanted Chrome I would be using Chrome. I specifically use FF to get away from this stuff. I have no Google or Facebook account and block/erase as many trackers and cookies because I'm not interested in aiding

As a European I'm rediscovering my faith in Odysseus. Without the Med the refugee crisis would be much worse.

Amazon came a few years too late and couldn't offer anything that sets them apart from the competition (next day delivery is pretty standard fare for any web retailer here) so yeah they were beaten. Or rather they saw the battlefield a

They do it because they need money fast. If you don't have a passport, education or speak the language its a job that's always looking for new applications. Prostitution has always existed and will continue to exist for as long as

Oh yeah I know how most people operate. Free speech is all fine and dandy until somebody says something you don't agree with. Happens every single time.

Emotional story. I feel for refugees. Its too bad how economic migrants are giving them a bad reputation. Remember watching a documentary about two kids being stuck in Greece. Even European streets are not safe for eleven year old boys and

Actually if the US wanted they could copy paste the Dutch healthcare system right now. It's better and cheaper, though not free. But this is an ideological problem, nobody wants to pay up. Things like income equality and social justic

I think social media, and the internet in general, is a great venting tool. Something like the gladiatorial games in ancient Rome. Not that I blame people. I don't want to get shot at by a police sniper either. Things have to get reall

The internet actually stifles dissent. People are just keyboard warriors. In the days of MLK if they had internet everyone would have just retweeted #marchonwashington.

Wow talk about Americentrism. I will be just fine, the FCC has no authority here.

Yep, been using FF on Android for three years now. Its the best mobile browser around. And ublock origin must have saved me hundreds of euros and days of time already. (God the internet with ads and trackers is terrible. Gizmodo has a dozen

Its curious to see, I travel around a bit and I'm always astounded how many countries still use cash and have backwards banking infrastructure. You'd think transferring money from one account to another should be near instantaneou

Define people? You can look up the statistics but the wealthy top 5% have been doing very VERY well these last 30 years and everything continues to be great. People aren't wrong when they say how amazing it is that Trump managed to ban

Actually the onus is on the OS to entice people to code for it. Developers developers developers as Ballmer once said.

That's quite sad. If people believe their government is broken beyond repair what future does the US have?

Has anyone been able to break into the smartphone market lately? I can't imagine beating Xiaomi, Samsung, Apple and the other big billion dollar conglomerates this late in the game without a significant Nobel prize worthy idea.

Sure everyone would jump to an alternative of Windows. Sadly every piece of software and hardware since win95 has been made with windows in mind and no alternative has been able to come even close to that.

Ha actually these arguments had already been disproven in the 1920 elections, the first time women were allowed to vote. Women pretty much vote the same as men. Which actually disappointed the Suffragettes to some degree.

Actually, and this is forgotten by most non Iranians, the revolution against the shah was NOT Islamic. It was a coalition of factions that took him down including socialists and communists. The ayatollah and his followers seized the country
