100 per cent correct.

I've tried using Pi-hole a few times in the past, but I always end up shutting it down again. It breaks too many things, and it doesn't block as many ads as a browser-based adblocker does. I wanted to believe, though.

If you accept visitors from the EU, you have to abide by their laws. If you're exclusively based outside of the EU, you could just ignore the laws. But Google has offices inside the EU, so they can't.

There is not much of a difference. The question is, did your $60 buy you a game, or a program that is designed to just make you buy as many loot boxes as possible? If the games are no more than glorified casinos, they should be regulated as

And drop out of the EU market? That sounds insane.

Having the ability to bet is freedom. Being seduced (avoiding the word 'forced' here) into betting under the guise of a game... not so much.

I'm quite sure it would not at all change their position on torrenting copyrighted works without permission.

I'd like to see him try that.

Using the #movingtogitlab hashtag does make it feel a bit brattish. FWIW I'm on (self-hosted) Gitlab, not GitHub.

Why would Microsoft give away their crown jewels to a competing IDE? They spent ages perfecting their debugger. It's not like JetBrains can't build their own debugger based on the ICorDebug interface (which is what Microsoft'

> It allows them to peek into any private repo on GH right from their own office. That sounds incredibly unlikely if not borderline ridiculous.

I don't think that's very useful - you see that it doesn't have any kind of sophisticated error handling simply by looking at the method's source code (which you need to do in order to see the comment).

The point was requiring regular updates to stay safe, so yes, security updates. The attack surface of a password manager would be infinitesimally smaller than that of an OS. As far as general updates go, I agree with you, but these shouldn&

I don't think that is true. It's the first time I've heard about it, anyways.

To be honest, if a password manager needs to be regularly updated in order to remain safe, I'm not sure I trust it with my passwords.

It got better in Android 6.0 but it was as described long before that.

I've been using Android since 2.x and I sell to remember it has always been like this. The recent change iirc is being able to decline a certain privilege and still use the app.

Android has an overview by app where you can a) delete the app entirely, b) delete the app's data entirely or c) delete the app's cache. C solves most issues described here.

Jumping around and selecting text. Folding random code blocks. Still haven't found a way to do that faster with the keyboard.

This is possible for focused websites (like the website about food you mention), but not really for something generic like Facebook. Unless they start guessing what you are interested in based on your behavior, which is kind of what they do

If it makes them study, why not! Edit: This was a lame joke based on the original, broken title of this submission. I do not condone teen monitoring apps in any way.

No, the elephant is definitely Facebook and friends. "Its the generations of people who have, over the last 10 years, grown up to assume that their personal lives are of interest to others, and wish therefore to capitalize/profit

I wouldn't be so fast to dismiss it as clickbait. Do you really think non-tech people are aware of the amount of aggregated data these companies have on them?

by efdee 9y ago
The Activity one is a bit scary though. How many Android users are aware that Android tracks their app use and whatnot in this fashion? I think that's a point to take home. Users know that Google looks at their "location informati

Sadly, results #1 and #2 link to a page where the phrase "keyword search engine" isn't even present. So much for exact keyword matches.
