I wonder how far off we are from a time where functionality like this will not require you to announce your daily activities to OpenAI or any other third party. This looks so useful to me but at the same time I could never use this, or the

Now now, millionaires need hobbies too. They can't swing for the outer edges of the atmosphere so decimating privacy on the Internet will have to do I guess. Ashton's urge to protect the children apparently trumps the privacy of 4

There's many great things in these laws that, in a vacuum, I'd love to have. Outside of the vacuum, I couldn't care less. The benefits absolutely pale in comparison to letting ghouls whom the mere existence of the Internet of

Let's rein in Big Tech. Now what? Law enforcement and intelligence agencies are going to leave it at that and not seek alternative paths? I do not understand how anyone is more eager to address something that merely facilitates the pro

They're not even close to comparable. Worrying about privacy and then focusing on Big Tech is like trying to swat away a mosquito while you're being devoured alive by three bears.

Reminds me of MINEC 1000, which came out in the early 90s (I think), had a decent enough mechanical kb, came with a built in modem (and serial ports ofc), and could be used as a generic terminal thanks to its VT100 emulation. https:/&

Sometimes as in it rarely is not. This is the reason you'll risk fines serving images, CSS, JS, fonts, and whatever from a third party web server without first ensuring users' consent to having their IP exposed to those servers.

I don't see what this has to do with Google Fonts, it's an aside at best. What's illegal is causing a user agent to send an HTTP request (to a third party) without the operator's consent.

Sadly, as far as I can tell, it is not the same. Under combined inbox (unified folders) threaded view shows your own messages while the supposedly same threaded view will omit them when viewed in any single inbox.

For me, Thunderbird's number one defect is that it is unable to show threads unless you view all your accounts under one combined inbox. And it's not only a major defect but an absurd one as well.

We're about to lose the freedom to have encrypted communications and one of the important things to highlight is that the people pushing for this are genuine? I don't think so.
