lol if you believe the marketing gimmick of "unlimited traffic". Where do you think you are?

I stand corrected. My complaints about IONOS still stand.
33.
by drpossum 2y ago
I don't recommend IONOS as they require a phone call to cancel any services and their billing system was inconsistent with the documentation (at least when I tried it recently). Also this list not including Hetzner is deeply shameful.

No.

This is correct.

How does an ip scan help with general DNS resolution at all?

Well, concernedc1tizen, I don't like it when people spout of misinformation. Especially when it comes to deep societal issues like pervasive advertising. Making thoughtless and inaccurate blanket statements hurts the overall discussi

Is this apropos anything? I was pushing back on the claim that there were no ads, though your username suggests the reason.

by drpossum 2y ago
> there's no ads This is a patently ignorant and ridiculous statement. They absolutely shove their own store garbage every release and upsell Nitro at every opportunity. Here's an article from last year about them explicitl

Do you have other opinions about the UI/UX of apps you haven't used?

I've found Jeep owners are their own brand of crazy. It's probably one of the few car cults that would endlessly put up with this kind of abuse because they just can't imagine NOT making their Jeep the core part of their i

I'd prefer that a credible journal do that as that would be even better. Also the idea of "journalists try not to be part of the story" should preclude product testing on verifiable claims is a really bizarre stance to take.

I don't see how the anonymity of the maintainers of Librewolf are at all relevant to this discussion. You're just doing a gish gallop argument and undermining your credibility.

Doing a PhD will not solve or improve your money woes and is extremely unlikely to take you to the career you want. In fact if the stipend is what is going to drive you to a graduate school, you should reconsider the whole thing entirely.

Wow, I absolutely hate this. We do not need "a new, better social platform" with founders from Reddit and Powered by AI!!!!™ Maybe we should consider, you know, new social media platforms that are build and designed by communitie

To say nothing of the fact that most people are not running their own email servers so that messaging is going to reside in places they don't own and the fact that relays get to read about everything exacerbating that problem, so you c

I appreciate you taking the time to go through these. It might take some leg work, but anything on privacy statements regarding data collection would be something I would filter on. That may be too ambiguous to do correctly, but what you

This is absolutely a black box in terms of what this is supposed to do, either here where you're trying to promote it nor on the hosted app page where it is even more crucial. I have no idea what the intent of this is other than &quot

Cool putting teams at the top of that list but completely ignoring jitsi and no tags on self hosting. What makes this better than the autogenerated AI lists?

Ladybird is on the trajectory to do this. I agree it's an enormous project and different from a lot of other open-source offerings, but I think there very well could be even corporate offerings support. They'd support it the sam

I'm convinced by this and your other recent posts you're just trolling at this point. (or you're beholden to a company that's forced you to think this way and what Mozilla is doing is fine and normal)

by drpossum 2y ago
That's patently untrue. There are plenty of open source projects that do not have "about the same thing" in their terms of use and in fact, just a simple license with easily understandable and permissive terms. Check out Cre

I think we should have more public shaming of companies' negligence. If you don't pay your bills you're publicly shamed in your credit score. Also consider that those types of things happen after several rounds of ignored

I'll guess you could probably put any politician in there and get a strong correlation.

Funny, that went away after corporations flooded the market with cheap inexperienced developers and decided they couldn't afford them either without ZIRP.

This is a shockingly incomprehensible article.

It's clear their autonomy isn't good, though. People only improve with experience and a willingness to improve and helping can be a good form of getting experience quickly. The developers that don't get better after handhold
