They use encryption in transit and at rest, but not in between. So, your data is uploaded over TLS or similar, gets decrypted on the server and then is re-encrypted before it's stored on hard drives. So yeah, this does mean that they h

While that's certainly true, I'd rather have them report about it hypocritically than not at all. Because good luck finding mainstream media that's not in close quarters with Google, Facebook et al.

Well, I'm glad you always have your dowser ready to determine the sex of a butt, nipple or whatever else you might find sexy before you actually find it sexy. And trust me, I have no problem pissing someone off who sees any need to be

That is not at all what I am saying. I cannot explain this to you better than I already have. Your diverging definition of heterosexuality describes a behaviour or a feeling. It does not apply to people being heterosexual. This is how defin

I feel like the basic premise of this study is far too complicated, because of traditionally far too static classifications. People have never and will never be strictly heterosexual or strictly homosexual. They have a preference, but they

Whether you're the Queen of England is a factoid. It can be either right or wrong. Whether you're sexually attracted to men or women is entirely subjective and not mutually exclusive. You can have a preference, which is most likel

The article's use of "heterosexual" describes a person. Those two definitions that you listed describe a feeling or behaviour. And while there are people who will call others "gay" as soon as they do anything that c

The definition of heterosexual is "sexually attracted to people of the opposite sex". You can have sex with someone without being sexually attracted to their sex in general (with them being the exception) or even without being sex

According to some people above, any Android apps that support Android 4.4 or below can be emulated on it. So, I'm pretty sure that does include these two, and Firefox in particular has been confirmed to work.

I don't see the point, though, in taking the right to vote away from prisoners. It's not like stabbing someone makes your opinion on taxes less valid. Or drug dealing makes your opinion of the education system invalid. Even if you

It's certainly possible to do tracking without the ability to execute code on the client, and for example Google is probably able to log 99% of your browsing history with this method alone even today. But it should still very much lowe

The reason why Brave can be Brave, is because it can hide under Chrome. Webpage owners will build their webpages Chrome-compatible, which makes them Brave-compatible, so whether they make any money off of supporting Brave is unimportant. Mo

Frankly feels like these comments are being astroturfed by Google. Sure, Netflix should have done things differently, and technically what Google is doing is not wrong, but if we look back at reality for a second here, it is simply the case

Many people recommend i3wm to start out on, because it has good documentation. Personally, I'll run away screaming from reading any sort of manual on how to use software, rather than just dicking around with it, so I only really manage

You can hardly tie ressource usage and startup time to the number of features a DE has. Take Windows as an extreme. Slow as all balls, around 1.5 GB RAM usage and essentially no features that go beyond the basics. On the other hand, take En

So, this Great Vowel Shift caused most of the pronunciation differences that English has compared to other Germanic languages. I always thought it was just so odd compared to its siblings, because it had lots of influences from the coloniza

Well, this new standard is backwards-compatible to the old standards, as in people will understand it, regardless of what they've learned beforehand. So, I don't think this new standard is really competing with the others.

The problem is that many countries don't use the comma as thousands separator and rather use it as decimal separator. (And then the dot as thousands separator.) So, "1,234,567.890" becomes "1.234.567,890". If all yo
