The redesign completely kills my 12-inch MacBook by freezing Safari’s UI for a good second or two while it’s loading all that shit JavaScript. I can load actual apps faster than their content-focused website.

No, it just means the lead is free as in freedom, distributed under an free license.

Just wondering, why can't you license your photos through whatever service/license they want, and mention in your profile that all pictures are under Creative Commons and copying is authorised (plus mention a personal site with

Simple and straight to the point. I like it!

Speaking of newsletters, this is probably one of the most useless and delusional industries there is. They consider a 20% "open rate" on their garbage as "good" and anything above is exceptional. I don't know about

What kind of value? I still don't see any value a SEO person provides that a competent developer doesn't already do. SEO is not black magic (despite what the SEO scammers want you to believe). Google even gives you quite a bit of

Can you impersonate Slack users the same way you can with IRC, to give each incoming SMS’s author its own user account?

Does anyone have a TLDR on this? Their website doesn't make it clear what this technology actually is. My best guess so far is that it's a coin & smart contract platform like Ethereum.

I am really disappointed that the law is against those people. If the casinos are allowed to scam people by making it look like you are playing a fair game while it's not (the machine is configured to give an advantage to the house), i

Isn't card counting legal? From what I've read it seems like it's forbidden by the casinos and they can ban you for it, but it is not illegal as far as the law is concerned.

This seems to only be a fix for the greedy people that keep coming back and raise suspicion. A casual player that cheats once and cashes out would be undetected.

As much as I’m against algorithms on closed platforms and walled gardens, I believe algorithms are the way to go on the open web, especially since the amount of content there can be infinite.

Unless you know the right people. Or that Tor Hidden Service that offered full HLR access to a (presumably compromised) carrier for like $5k/month. The problem with this kind of security by obscurity is that it gives people a false sen

We’re talking Comcast here so they are obviously too poor to be able to afford redundant links.

by Rjevski 8y ago
Technically this means limited-data mobile connections should be the best in the world, because the carrier has an incentive to build good infrastructure? Let me check. IPv6? Nope. Public IPv4? Nope. HTTP interception proxy? Check! Peak ban

I wish that if they’re gonna downrank “good” pirate content then they should do the same (or worse) for the bad/malicious ones. Whether you’re pro or anti piracy, replacing that content with malware & scams does not make the world

How can you call them proper owners when all the research is funded by public money?

The problem with not using the services is that stalking becomes ubiquitous. You can choose to not use Facebook, but when every single company starts stalking you (like your mobile carrier) you no longer have a way out. This is why we nee

This is nothing compared to the disasters that are mobile “core” networks. Those are where the real problem is (allows real time location tracking, call/text/data spoofing & interception, denial of service, etc) and the telcos

I wasn't talking about business-related data - that is indeed public already. I'm talking about revealing the same kind of data their companies collect on us, which is way more personal and could contain embarrassing stuff.

Facebook? Equifax? Ad networks? Basically anyone who profits off user data and makes it difficult/impossible to opt-out.

I hope they were not and this data ends up public. I’d love to search this database for the details of top people at privacy-violating companies and publish them.

Would be good to get a copy of this database to search the details of top executives involved in privacy-violating companies and publish them.

DuckDuckGo is now good enough that I only use Google services a few times a day as a fallback. Not saying I’m happy with that (I wish I could just pay Google a fair price and trust them not to stalk me) but I don’t have much choice I’m afra

Even if we assume that everyone involved in processing your data is trustworthy (and that’s a very big if), there’s always the risk of an accidental data breach. If you think Equifax was bad enough, think for a second what would be the cons

Just wondering, what do you use instead of Forms for non-Javascript websites?

by Rjevski 8y ago
HTTPS traffic is immune to this, but a lot of ad/cancer is still served over HTTP, which they can inject the cookies into.

Premium plans, or non-tracking ads (that are personalized based on the content you see instead of your profile). Read The Docs does that - they have a single, static ad spot (just an image and text, no JS) and they’re chosen based on the co
