It's nice to see more websites using Esperanto words. ("Urbo" is the Esperanto word for city.)

Talking about immigration isn't how he won. I don't think that this would be a productive format for discussing it in depth though.

I don't think that is what happened. The media didn't hold him accountable for what he said. They wanted viewers. Websites wanted clicks. There was disinformation everywhere. Even in discussions with people who could calmly talk a

I don't think that it can be argued that Chrome is privacy-friendly. There are dark patterns built into the browser.

This situation provides another good argument for the need for Free software operating systems, especially on mobile devices.

"Mobile-first design" often produces really bad results. I could name a lot of sites that do it and their websites are often terrible on a laptop, which is how I use the Internet.

That sounds like a terrible idea. You need an Apple device to seriously build iOS apps, so does that mean that Apple users will have trouble using software that is created by people who write their software on other operating systems?

US is ranked something like 37th in the world for health care. I lived in a top-10 country, though didn't use the health care there.

I wouldn't duplicate the content for SEO reasons, even with canonical URLs. You can get a lot of traffic through search engines and other methods. I don't like landing on Medium posts. That kind of centralized, fast-food publishin

If you're serious about blogging, using Medium is a mistake, especially for programming blogs. Using a static site generator on Netlify is also free, and you maintain full control. I would not have been able to sell one of my blogs if

The cognitive dissonance over at Facebook must be immense. The idea that the solution is to post more things on Facebook is absurd, considering that it's how they snare users. I know many people who interact with other users non-stop -

Cost of living is much lower. Health care is included. I think there were six weeks of paid vacation per year. Budapest was a 2 hour bus ride away (10 euros), and many other interesting destinations were very close. If difficult times str

It's already possible if you have technical skills. Just find a company to sponsor you. I once emigrated to Austria. Permanent residency would have been offered after 5 years, but I came back to the US before that.

The domain industry is corrupt and backwards. I just had a domain locked for 60 days while trying to transfer it out of another registrar. They only have the right to do that if the ownership has changed, but the ownership obviously did not

Another example: I can't watch purchased YouTube videos at full resolution on in my Web browser. It tells me that I need to buy a spyware-infested device that doesn't give me full control over the operating system.

All of this is exactly what the Web is not supposed to be. Users shouldn't need to buy certain hardware to access different parts of the Internet. It's one of the big problems with the appification of the WWW in general.

It's a terrible idea. One shouldn't need to provide a personal identity to use the Internet.

I read somewhere that actively deleting the content might give you more legal protection in getting it deleted, whether now or in the future. I don't know for sure, but I did it anyway. Also, FB can't show fake endorsements to y

You don't have to spend a lot of time customizing the desktop. It works fine out of the box. The difference is that you have an option to customize the desktop and are not locked in. In any case, customizing one's computer teaches
