One of the things I dislike the most about Internet Archive is their relatively open attitude of flaunting privacy on purpose: http://blog.archive.org/2017/04/17/robots-txt-meant-for-sear... Do you know what

It's fairly wild that people would compare fighting Putin or Hitler with murder and rape.

If it's criticism like mine, it's more to the tune of "You never showed up". I don't remember seeing a single campaign or rally; instead Beto was looked at to lead Texas and nothing else. The message was pretty clea

An IRC bouncer does what you're wanting in terms of offline notification, they're just hard to configure. The problem with IRC is largely it's structure. Huge networks don't really merge anymore, channel owners stay in t

Whether the project is FOSS or not is irrelevant. They're seeking distribution and in order to further distribute a project needs to be able to cleanly communicate why it deserves more distribution. Ironically, based on your comment,

I mean, we do have a far-left but it's not particularly doing stuff right now. The last time it was active they were blowing up buildings across the US or trying to bomb the US capitol [1] [2]. We're 30-40 years removed from that,

Right, but then you go on to pat the people doing it on the back, followed by an "acceptance of rebuke". This kind of doublespeak is what's disruptive in these conversations and makes people not trust each other or their inte

I think you're getting some snark because corporations are firing up a renewed interest in these kinds of metrics and as part of that they're starting with all the old ones (and motivations) that didn't work. Your messaging w

Usually when I hear people talk about backdooring it's usually on the network stack. On a phone that would be a modem. Most devices, even in your computer (eg: laptop battery) run an OS. There's a good talk somewhere on how we&#x2

1Password went from being buy once upgrade forever to SaaS. A lot of folks bought back when that was the package (and business model) so it's viewed relatively negatively here from some folks. I don't blame them, but also, I think

Some things from that indexer you linked are problematic, but others certainly aren't. As I said, I don't question that the right does bad things with their power. I do question your denial that the left does. It seems odd to me t

In my experience, it's not fruitful to argue with folks like you. You're just going to believe what you believe, as if politics and current events are football or religion. Best of luck.

In my experience, some progressives are authoritarian-ish, but the same can be said of conservatives. I don't think it's a property of the political belief itself as much as some people have an innate character trait that makes
