One benefit is not having all of your online purchases tracked by your credit card company, which can produce further benefit for you down the road when insurance companies and whoever else is unable to purchase meaningful data about you to

Instead of rules, look at what's being censored and tell us if you agree. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_Twitter http://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/censoring-.

I was about to post this. My project received a DDOS, and I could not access my droplet for over 12 hours.

How does Craigslist handle reputation? And yet, I'm sure you'd rather use Craigslist for certain purchases than eBay.

Just to clarify, if you use Signal, there is no meta-data. Who you called, who called you, the call times, and so on are hidden. It's like with Tor and how your browsing history isn't saved. All the WIFI network operator can know

Regarding #3, what about putting the phone into airplane mode and keeping WIFI on? Wouldn't airplane mode disable the baseband?

I forget the term for this, but you've poisoned the discussion by leading it to a dead end with an impossible goal: ridding humanity of prejudice and assumption. Since that isn't remotely possible, we might as well throw our hands

This is very conspiratorial, but it'd be interesting if Facebook intentionally shut this down to show its new user base how vital it is to their lives. By giving new users a service and then taking it away, it could drum up support for

Would be awesome to see a mass exodus from Facebook. It's already passed its peak anyway, with many US teenagers using different, non-Facebook-owned networks and apps.

I'm against Free Basics and am boycotting Facebook, but playing devils advocate... > They're called "public" libraries; not every library is free. I remember once trying to enter Stanford's library (Green?), and

Agreed. I sometimes click, but for the most part, I usually shake my head and leave the site entirely in annoyance. I'm curious to know: why don't published books use click bait titles? Or do they? And where's the line that s

Wow. That's one of the most eye-opening articles I've read. I admit to having no idea how difficult it is, at least for some social media stars, to get by on e-fame. The take-aways for me are: 1. If you become famous on social med

Surowiecki did a horrible job of making a case for his conclusion. After reading that, I'm left wondering why his critics are wrong. Perhaps he should have avoided the click-bait title and tried to actually explain something reasonably

This will lead to a lot of carbs, some protein, and not enough fat. Consider looking into the Keto Diet. Lots of people are restricting carbs while being liberal with fat, successfully lowering their weight and having more energy. I'm

You're right, and I expected some of this since I knew I was severing some connections.

by dayon 11y ago
For many of the connections I refer to, Facebook was my only way of contacting them. You're right, I could return. It still makes me think that this implicit claim that leaving Facebook improves our mood is faulty. Rarely or never do I

I've been depressed since I quit Facebook. I no longer have access to the groups I used for countless purposes. Yea, there's alternatives, but I'm starting to see how many bridges I burned deleting a useful tool.

Out of society since 1975 and landing in Times Square... that's gotta be like stepping out into an alien world.

Spoke in person with Stallman. I asked him why he doesn't complain about server side code. His beef is with software we "own" being proprietary, so apparently server-side code isn't a big deal to him. It puts a huge dent

While I appreciate your story, have you considered that you misread my post? It's the only way I can explain the myriad straw-men in yours.

I don't see it as people wanting to be listened to and watched. I see it as people automatically accepting new technology if it provides a novelty and / or a real benefit without considering consequences. It's also a status s
