There are many uncertainties. Like the one regarding the fact that you can get an absolution from the ECB if you cause enough havoc. Or the one where you shouldn't invest in any country that may even smell slightly endangered (which wo

The official answer to this that it would cause uncertainty regarding future decisions. And I won't even start with devaluation, the geopolitical position of Greece or the chaos on the streets.

Sure they do. But how this go together with security awareness? We are talking about a different market here and as I've posted somewhere else: sure we can have all that trendy crap in there at some point but please don't move tha

If we reach a level where people get arrested for using an app, it doesn't really matter how many there are. See Turkey.

> Gifs are a form of communication. You might not use it, but most people do. Just like most people use whatsapp and I don't want to stop them at all. BUT there is a demand for a secure communication application that does just this.

Yes, exactly. You'd think those should be basics for a chat application that is so focused on security. You would expect that. What you would not expect is gif search...

Thank you but I just don't click them at all any more.

And when she has them, it'll be something different ridiculous. Seriously, this is what whatsapp is for. I don't see why we have to dump down EVERYTHING for those people. From my own experience the biggest reason is that "my

Not sure if I should laugh or cry. I don't know what half of the stuff is I have to download there on a system I don't usually run. It's nice to know that it is possible to somehow get this running without Chrome and thanks

It makes me sad so see that they waste time on decoration like gif search but they don't have a client I can use on my PC for example.

What are you doing with that touchpad that it would make you change your whole software infrastructure? Hell...it's just the touch pad.

Oh I see. A 3 votes thread with "heavy commenting" and whatever was 8 years ago. It's a century on the internet.

> This is why people buy Macs! Really? I thought because they "look so nice" and are so "easy to understand". Never heard anyone say: "I bought a Mac because the touchpad is so fantastic".

With the situation as it is right now, I'm not sure there is anything that could protect you from Russian aggression. Here it is like with surveillance cameras. They won't jump down from the pole to help you. Still they are all ov

You could replace QM with "magic" and it could be a dialogue by one of those fancy mages in any fantasy story. Do you see a way to "sell" QM to the public in a way that would reflect the diversity of the ideas and the co

It's not like having more parties makes you automatically a democracy. Even North Korea has 4 parties. But having one is a clear no go. Always. There is not even anything to discuss or to whitewash. Like in NK or Russia.

The true picture is that I have a performance issue that forces me to look at the RAM usage in the first place. As I've wrote below: I had one addon (ublock) on Chrome while my FF is so full with addons that I have to look up what they

If this is your only or main issue with FF, it can't be that bad. I tried Chrome from time to time and the endless processes eating up an immense sum of RAM (I had to add together first to realize) as well as the missing addons drove m

It seems like people who are responsible don't care anymore. Maybe it's the wages, the pressure or whatever. It looks like it's about time to replace even more humans from the equation.

Well sure. If your whole life consisted of work, you simply have no idea what to do with your free time. I would study philosophy if I could afford it. Travel a lot. Go swimming more so my back would not be such a mess and so on. I'm p
