There is a difference between "allowed to" and "ought to". It's a question of ethics, not law. In my opinion it feels immoral for someone who has this much control over human interaction to act in a way that undermi

Unfortunately it isn't always cut and dry. As the GP pointed out, once upon a time the heliocentric model was "disinformation". In more modern times, suggesting that the Gulf of Tonkin incident was misrepresented would be &qu

I understand that this isn't a backdoor, it's a frontdoor insofar as there is a wiki page about it. What concerns me is that Normandy isn't communicated in the UI of the browser settings, and that Firefox is allowing Mozilla

This was a Vue.js year for me. I'm the past I've used angular and react, but when I was tasked with designing a project manager for artists I decided to try out Vue. I was originally interested because it seemed easy to include in

With the lack of evidence, the media attention, and the nature of the incident, I have been wondering the same thing. The cynic in me suspects that the result of this will be zero convictions, but legislation taking all but the smallest dro

We did this at my last job, but inevitably ended up with a mix of half functional CSS and half component CSS. If you have lots of repeated components on a page (comments, thumbnails, tags) then it's difficult to defend repeating, poten

Ohno. Just a few weeks before finishing my design overhaul! http://moonbench.xyz I'd encourage you to take a second look at the end of August, I'm very excited about the pending redesign and rewritten content.

Is that a good or a bad thing? It seems like that's precisely one of the issues the 'dweb' hopes to solve: To prevent certain chunks of society from imposing censorship on the other groups through centralized services.

They don't have to be mutually exclusive. Imagine that you empower users with the tools create and manage their own content filters. You allow them to decide what types of content qualifies as the "hate speech" they want to a

I think they're exciting. Archive.org might let you _see_ an old version of a website but it hardly lets you _use_ an old version of that site. Especially if the site in question is a dashboard-like service or single page application.

I couldn't be more thrilled with vue. Having learned with react, I think the component structure and updating are wonderful. But the baggage of the React ecosystem made it tedious to add to projects. What if I don't want to use we

Certainly this is possible with a raspberry pi and a handheld radio. At my last company I had a friend and coworker who used a pi to communicate with his Android phone for GPS data to then broadcast APRS packets to track his morning bikerid

Good point. I'm a big fan of the federation of different IRC servers, but also like have rich media embeds and drag+drop image uploading, even if that currently means being tied into the discord servers.

This makes sense. Creators have been including patreon plugs and ad copy in their videos to circumvent demonization and ad blockers for a while. This was obviously cutting YouTube out and they clearly wanted a piece of that pie back. It&#x2
