>In letter this month, Facebook says the project violates provisions in its terms of service that prohibit bulk data collection I thought people asked for these restrictions after Cambridge Analytica. Are they evil now? :^)

Isn't QUIC/HTTP3 a protocol that improves the performance of pipelining which is something that very bloated webpages benefit from? Isn't that something we should move away from?

I am on Windows and I would like to use ungoogled Chromium but I don't see it as a choice because it does not have automatic updates and I am concerned about my security. I suppose this is a solved problem on Linux?

Twitter used to be like you are describing 10-12 years ago. At least in my country, which is not small, it kinda felt like everybody knew everybody. With time it just turned into... well, what Twitter is now, so I left years ago. I've

That's what democracy is. The current "tyranny of the minority" that we live in is an anomaly (and quite undemocratic)
