This is why I quite like that Reddit by default just orphans comments on account deletion. One comment is usually not much of a PII danger, it's correlating them that builds up a picture. So this lets people leave their comments for ot

An APK is an APK. It's beholden to the same mandatory permissions system and has no extra abilities whether sideloaded or from the Play store. Sideloading != rooting

The exact reason being unable to do something you weren't going to do anyway, rendering the difference moot? You're not required to leave the garden because the wall has been removed. How is an extra option harming you?

I still don't see the problem. So you enable side loading, install the apps you want, and then what's the problem? It's not like other apps will start installing themselves now. I think some people are working under the mista

I'm not so sure. My completely anecdotal experience across communities on many platforms is that users love to say "I'm gonna quit!", then never do it, but when mods say that they mean it. I can't recall any times I

Isn't the fact that they're able to restore deleted comments from that far back itself an indication of malice, or at least irresponsibility? I could understand if it was comments from the past month, but after 3 years I'd

Yes, that list reminds me of the exaggerated posts about "look how hard it is to install Firefox on Linux!!". Claiming that setting up a Debian Postgres server necessarily entails knowing ZFS and Kubernetes is quite a reach Not su

Do they commonly allow arbitrary OpenID hosts? There was a brief golden period around I think 2014 where I'd see that logo on sites, but now they all seem to implement it behind the scenes, yet whitelist it to only Google, Facebook, an

Every user needing a server to run a caching daemon 24/7 is not even within the bounds of "solved" for me. I acknowledge it "works", and have used it myself for years, but it's like saying "of course the l

It feels to me that the Overton window shifted rapidly (and arguably inverted) in the late 2010s. I remember this speech being posted and praised in forums and among people who would now consider it a harmful "dogwhistle". And I c
