If you do find or use such a license, it's definitely not open source. According to the OSI, the only authority on what constitutes open source, open source license must not discriminate against fields of endeavour: > 6. No Discrimi

DRM makes it hard for me to make backup copies of media that I've bought and own, so you can see how DRM goes against your stated belief. That's just one for starters. The article itself goes into a few more reasons.

I agree. If I wanted r/technology, I'd go to r/technology. Please, fellow users of HN, downvote jokes.

This is not correct. SSL only blanks referrals to non-HTTPS links, the referrer is passed by default to all HTTPS links. Since HN is using HTTPS, this should be very easy to test by just clicking on this link: https://www.wha

CC0 is not a great license for code weirdly enough. OSI never approved it as an open source license because of a clause about patents. https://opensource.org/faq#cc-zero

I've never heard that Edge sends absolutely all POST requests to any website to Microsoft as well. Could you share an article or something proving this?

Do you have to set it up manually? How is this better than downloading one of the privacy-protecting extensions available for most desktop browsers?

What about contactless cards? I personally find contactless cards, common in the UK, much more convenient than having to faff about with my phone, which may be out of battery.

What if the reason is that Facebook started a patent war with them? Is it fair that Facebook disables all of their opponents' patents, whether they are related to React or not? In my mind, that's not fair. If they promised to disa

I would edit that to say "as long as you stick with UTF-8 for everything." Unicode defines more than one encoding, not just UTF-8, but also UTF-16 and UTF-32.

You do not need email confirmation in your sign up flow... but you will email confirmation eventually, as the article says. However, you may never need a password. Users can log in on other devices using another email confirmation link, or

There's three things wrong with this: - you're failing to heed the warning that demonising your opponents makes them further entrenched in their position. If you're trying to save our planet by persuading climate change skep

No, LGBTI+people are not killed everyday in America for being an "abomination to God". It's a lot lower than that. Women do get medical support, maybe not enough, it's not true that all women are denied medical support.

I actually prefer Ubuntu's way of doing it. The notifications never get in the way (since if you hover over them they became transparent and clicking on them actually clicks underneath them). Whereas on macOS the notifications stay for

Yes! I am using macOS at work, and I was surprised to discover that I like Homebrew much more than Ubuntu's APT, because of how up-to-date Homebrew's packages are.

Slightly off topic, but I was recently looking for a tool like mytop but for Postgresql. Does any one know if it exists?

A capital B indicates "byte", and a lower-case b indicates "bit". 240 MBps is eight times faster than 240 Mbps. When it comes to speeds in bits per second, M almost always means 1000000, and not 1048576.

If we're going to sink our time into the old copyleft vs permissive licenses debate, I wish we would be more precise with our words. AGPL is an open source license, according to OSI, the only authority on what constitutes open source.

Here's the draft, which as you can see, isn't very polished (without the screenshots). I think you can see why I've procrastinated on it. Also, I have reported a couple of the issues to LastPass, and they've acknowledged
