And, relatedly, only 1% complain because they make complaining hard. This is why analytics driven decision making can backfire!

This is the entire argument for manifest V3. So, if we believe this argument, then modern chromium derivatives should be safe with the ad blockers that run on them.

Yes, we called them adware and lumped them in with email worms. We should go back to that.

We can absolutely expect Google to be a gatekeeper for advertisements they run on their platform. These aren't just middlemen, they're scams. We shouldn't just be used to Google being allowed to essentially run infinite scams

I don't think they go at all, I think software development is just bad all around. Almost all software is really, really bad and we just put up with it or are used to it. Most software does not value consistency or UX maintenance AT AL

Domain names is how you do this reliably. This is why everyone should use a password manager. It makes phishing much, much harder to do.

You don't have to optimize anything, in fact you do the opposite of optimization. Not making text selectable is extra work. You have to go out of your way to do that. That's the optimization, not the other way around. If you jus

I worked briefly at a company that wrote applications that interacted with bank mainframes. Think end point bank teller systems and in branch customer/account management. They definitely do exist - every major bank has a mainframe writ

I think moving away from cloudflare is not a solution because: 1. You need CDNs for reasonable web performance, especially on mobile. Hitting your dedicated server for every static asset like images is going to bring latency through the roo

There's also much cheaper methods of dynamic lighting that aren't real time ray tracing. You can approximate, you can cheat, and it will look almost as good.

The phrasing here is strange - whats the difference between a pressure campaign and me telling my friends? What if I have a lot of friends? Is it now a pressure campaign? What makes something telling the truth, and what makes something a ca

Not anything else, eventually the signal needs to be unencrypted so your eyeballs can see it. You don't want to see static. So between the LCD and the connection, the signal is passing in cleartext. You can intercept that. There's

They can, but it really depends on the belief. Even for you or the most principled person, there is a limit. And, even if you can , it doesn't mean it's pleasant. Its one thing if someone is horrible in silent. From experience, h

I think a lot of those criminals use clear text channels because it works. If it no longer works, then they move. Meaning, chat control might pressure criminals. For a bit. Until they wisen up and use more secure protocols and end points. W

This is just a tragedy of the commons situation. Obviously, every single existing property owner wants it to stop right now. Because more housing means more supply, means less money for them. They naturally want to pull the ladder up. But i
