I once thought like that, until an accountant friend shared his point of view on the matter. That project you don't want to do, what amount of money would it take for you to accept that project? I'm not talking about what you thin

I think you miss my point. The point isn't to circumvent the paywall, its to take my patronage to a site that doesn't employ those tactics.

Paywalled. Anyone have a non-paywalled source that doesn't involve circumventing said paywall? I would prefer to take my page views elsewhere.

When a site is blocked, I can enter a username and password to override the block, or I can choose to whitelist that traffic. Different devices have different policies applied to them re what to block.

There must be a relationship here because I do indeed have that watch face installed. Though, without allowing that traffic, I don't seem to be able to remove that watchface, and cannot get into the Settings screen in the Pebble Andr

Thank you for sharing this! I had no idea it existed before, but this sounds like exactly what I've been looking for. I want to find out if it needs to make the same requests to zalew.net.pl as the official Android app in order to conf

I've given up on companies and developers respecting my privacy. Not because they're all evil, but because it doesn't scale. There's an unlimited number of companies that you would have to deal with. Use a firewall that

Did you know that if you attempt to configure your pebble from your phone, that requires a connection to some server hosted under a domain name that as far as I can tell has nothing to do with pebble? Use a MITM proxy and see for yourself.

Perhaps, but what I can blame them for is for having very poor monitoring (50% failure rate and nobody noticed??) and poor security, culminating in this data breach. People need to be held accountable for the security of their systems when

As a user, my policy is simple. Unless there is functionality in the app that I want to use that requires direct OS access, the app doesn't get installed, period. I care about my privacy and I won't install your app just to get

Not only do I disagree, I would argue its subjective. I much prefer one long article instead of paginated articles and will regularly refuse to continue past the first page on principal. You may like pagination but I do not, and I would arg

What I don't get is that the genie is out of the bottle now. Google fiber exists and the more areas they roll out to where the encumbamts only bump service after the fact only further demonstrates the point that they don't give a

IMO DuckDuckGo is the obvious choice of who to partner with. DDG already focuses on privacy as a defining feature, its why I use then as my primary search engine. Seems like a win win for both Mozilla and DDG.

Have you ever tried to setup AWS IAM permissions for a user pursuant to the principle of least privilege? Because Amazon's APIs are about as far from friendly as you can get in this respect. Their docs make it easy to make the mistake

What is collecting pictures of photo ID supposed to do for you? Honest question. Far as I can tell, it only means the scammer was able to copy the photo that was sitting on my computer (likely via the same malware they used to steal my othe

I think the real question is why would you spend your time working on an API for a closed protocol knowing that you don't have the expressed or even tacit consent to do so, when you intend to turn around and release it. I mean if they

I would argue this is a problem because of the lack of an actual package manager for the distros putty is used on. If there was a formal package management system in place for these OSs this would have been less of a problem from the beginn

Which makes me wonder if honey producers are taking advantage of the scare to raise prices or if supply has in fact shrunk enough to raise the price.

I'm not arguing with the idea that we don't yet know all of the downsides from the leaks, I have to concede that point. However, I would argue that the probability of his leaks causing more substantial damage to the US than the ve

I'm skeptical of the way the author framed the discussion around his patches, I believe the majority of people out there are genuinely not evil, people don't often reject contributions that have clear benefits without reason, and

If someone wants to re-invent the wheel I won't stop them, but I would ask that they explain their motivations for doing so before seriously asking me to use it. That G+ post doesn't really explain why, maybe this is coming in a l

I am interested in learning more about such arrangements, but the fact remains that for Foss software the license and freedom to read and change the source code is there for all from the start, no license negotiations or purchasing required

To be fair, they make it nearly impossible to get your data out of their servers to do anything interesting with anyway. Which is another huge failing on their part IMO.

I also question the quality of the software on their devices. I had to return my first fitbit scale because my firewall blocked the first outbound request that the scale made (it was a new unidentified device on the network), which caused t
