   I think it would! To be frank, even dynamic addresses don't provide that much extra privacy by themselves; but static addresses DO provide individual agency. Given individual agency, there's got to be hundreds of ways to secure yo

   Those solutions are still very useful for all sorts of reasons, they wouldn't be going anywhere. (in fact, going by my own experience/situation with a high quality ISP, I actually end up using more of these services!) But new busi

   I keep wondering how much of these problems would go away if IPv6 adoption were outright enforced by government (and on top of that static IP addresses as well). You suddenly have sufficient IP addresses, don't need NAT, know where you

   "Opt-Out" is a dark pattern per definition. If everyone does it (and on some platforms many people do), it leads to an impossible eternal whack-a-mole situation where the user is constantly monitoring their system while still bein

    If you're collecting data, you need to prove it's not harmful - not the other way around. - But how is collecting data harmful? The problem isn't any single data point. It's that historically, seemingly innocent data col

    I'm very confused by this. An ounce of prevention is worth pound of cure. But now they're doing away with the prevention... to be able to afford the cure instead (which they are now likely guaranteed to need more of)? I'm ge

    I get the idea the current era a lot of democratic systems are getting quite the workout. Adding extra tiers and firebreaks -it turns out- is not always a bad idea. Not commenting on how well they might be implemented.

    I don't think rejecting automation is the way forward here for anyone. There's still jobs with automation, it's not zero sum. And the new jobs that are created are more fun too. The really bad jobs would go away though. That
