If someone wants to use X I have no problem with that. But don't say you value your privacy and understand the implications if you can't sacrifice a bit of convenience for it. That's all. Stupid was the wrong word.

Would you trust Facebook with your personal communications and by extension yours and of your family innermost secrets? Good luck to Facebook in getting traction with techy customers with the most atrocious privacy record of just about any

His point is that nobady uses chromium, google never promotes it, and on windows you can't install a chromium binary. His point is that if chromium is that good why google is pushing chrome down peoples throat? (hint: its the ads-game)

This is the problem. You value your convenience more than your freedom, and the future of privacy.

Thank you for defending me/us :) Whenever there's bullshit talking at my company I always make a "meh" face and try to bring to the table the negative sides of a solution.

Can't I block sites myself with a click of a button? Besides privacy concerns and CPU burn I don't see what benefits blissify provides.

It's nice to have EU companies, why selling it to an USA one? If it's niche and they have a hard time to employee someone else to develop it then go on with your company.

I don't use neither facebook nor whatsapp and I live perfectly fine. It's not like you stop breathing. In my experience telling people that you prefer a different medium from whatsapp is not a big deal.

You should ask what annoys users. Pop-ups/lightboxes. Changing the default scrolling behavior. Sites crippled with ads. Slow sites. Google analytics everywhere. Unreadable text (light gray on white, what could go wrong?) Unzoomable sit

I'm really sorry, I generalized. I read your other comments, thanks for standing against facebook.

In this case, market pressure derives from users deleting their accounts. For a long time people where saying that ads/tracking is good because nobody is willing to pay for software/service/social media. Well users were payin

It's your fault too, you know? Why give the fault to a corporation when we are giving them pieces of our lives? Fights aren't easy, but this fight is important for our society and our children. > Those who would give up essen

Guys, there's only one solution. Delete your accounts and uninstall the apps. That's it! Here's the link to delete your account. https://www.facebook.com/help/delete_account

So much power? You give him power. Just delete your facebook account and uninstall their apps!

That practice can be fought more easily in courts. Also the more user deleting they're accounts the less "friends" you have that share your number with facebook.

You can hide online. I'm more worried about offline abuse (losing job, being persecuted, being beaten, etc.). Yes online harassment is a BIG problem but forcing to reveal your identity may not be the best solution.

That's called dictature. Everybody wants it, but what we get is compromise (democracy) that tries to make happy the whole society (obviously it fails in some places, that are the rules of the game). Think of it as a free-market in econ

Writing laws is much much much harder than writing code (corner cases, ambiguity, corruption, etc.). Did you ever write a "big" program completely bug-free? I think we should first start by writing correct programs (e.g. invest mo

And so? 1. They still censorship telegram which means they can read messages locally. With new updates whatsapp could have new rules to censor or modify "dangerous" (to them) messages. 2. E2E encryption is implemented now, what ab

To defend minorities. Image a group of transgenders on facebook that want to talk about they daily lives, social relations, etc. With pseudo-anonymous accounts they can do that freely, on facebook they risk to be vandalized, insulted, etc.
