Nice idea! However, I can't seem to access the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, which are required to be agreed to in order to sign up. (Yes, I am one of the ~12 people in the world who actually read those.) Are these available any

I hate to say it, but I actually think that part of the statement is correct - just not in the way he wants people to imagine it. To be clear, I'm not saying that people want to be paid to play games. That's an incredibly easily d

It absolutely isn't a new invention. The only thing new that everybody completely latched onto was that Facebook changed its name to Meta. People thought that meant the beginning of something new, and Meta themselves certainly didn&#x2

That's not a "canonical" site either. That's the domain name of "Digital Millennium Copyright Act Services Ltd.", a company which deliberately (and annoyingly) takes the same name as the Digital Millennium Copy

If you're basing this on the animation used when revealing the answer, that's a fake effect. The source code[0] reveals that there's a typewriter effect that plays out when you select to answer the question. Also, the comment

GrapheneOS, at least, does make Internet access a permission you can turn off. It even goes one step further in that you can turn it off at install time. This is something that should be in stock Android. For devices which don't have

Huh. I will say that it was weird because at the time, I also tested loading the main page and a couple other blog posts on the site. Only this particular one, however, was an issue, and I figured it was probably an anti-hug mechanism where

"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." I... kind of hate this. I can understand it, but I hate it nonetheless. I don't think it can ever be a universal truth, though. Of course, it does require discipline to

People do that already. It's just that when they do so it's normally a phone call. There's no reason people couldn't make interfaces that use the same speaker as a phone call does.

Legally, they don't own the data, but they do have a perpetual license to the data and can do basically whatever they want it with it. Not much of a difference but it's one of these things where the details might be crucial.
