Apple has it's privacy details laid out, in both plain English and fairly in-depth, at https://www.apple.com/privacy/ They make it very clear that they are protecting data, to a far greater degree than Google offe

It's not there yet, but mobile broadband is becoming increasingly viable. It's far from ideal, but 4 (soon 3) competitors are better than the 1 choice I have for wired broadband.

I'm not going to weigh in on copy/pasting this specific article, but in more general terms, I like the approach used by LWN - Subscribers get access to articles, and can choose where to share them. https://lwn.net/

There is a LOT that can be done to improve desktop linux, but I think in this case, at least according to the article, the difficulties were largely political, not technical.

Agreed. Unfortunately, updating the way people look at things is a lot harder than updating code. It takes years of work to convince people to buy-in to things, and a lot of it is advertising and promoting, not just education and training.

Many of them do come from a disregard for privacy. That bothers me, but some people are happy to make that trade-off for better services.

Can you help me understand what you mean by "isn't fully decentralized"? If you're running your own server, my understanding it's trusted by default by most servers - There is a blacklist of untrusted federation ser

I've been using one of their products for a few months now. It was easy enough to assemble, and is reasonably comfortable for the price. It's nice to be able to cheaply and easily design the layout which works for my house. I&#x2

I like that Google's pushing for simplified pages. This is a good hedge against FB Instant Articles and the like. What I don't understand is why they cache the page themselves, and make that the requested version. It would seem li

I appreciate the info! I'm really curious to see where using AMP as a proxy speeds up the page, versus applying similar optimizations on origin server? If it's a cached page (served from any normal CDN), and crafted with similar o

AFAIK, you do NOT get better placement for using AMP. You get better placement for having a fast site, which you can do easily without AMP.

A significant portion of the time (more than 1/2) AMP URLs fail to load, forcing me to "Request Desktop Site" in order to load it. When they do load, they fuckify the URL, so I can't copy/paste it normally. I know I

It looks like they want to rename the OSS version, to differentiate it from their commercial version. They're using the analogy of Fedora->RHEL. Moby = open source development Docker CE = free product release based on Moby Docker E

I recommend buying individual shows, via iTunes/Google/etc. These are typically ~25/season, and don't include any commercials. No need to deal with DVR restrictions, fastfowarding issues/etc.

Apple has one of the strongest commitments to privacy that I've seen. All the Apple Watch health data is stored encrypted on your iPhone directly. The Battery life is only 1 day though.

Don't room scale VR systems, like the Vive, avoid this problem? They (usually) avoid having any artificial movement at all, mapping you walking around in your room 1:1 to walking in the virtual environment.

I'm not the poster who you replied to, but - Just because someone explains their reasoning, doesn't mean you have to agree with them :) I don't particularly want to send Signal a list of contacts - I'd rather not leak th
