You may have misunderstood my argument. My contention is that a mainstream platform and free speech cannot co-exist. You can only choose one of the two options. About Twitter allowing pseudonyms, it is out of the scope in this context as yo

The moment Twitter finally went mainstream, that was the death knell for "free" speech. Your employer, government agencies, religious & community leaders are all now on Twitter. Self censorship is not obligatory, it is a requi

Here's another perspective. Am not American, not Asian. But I like YG's music. Obviously, the cancel politics behind that song has little personal meaning to me on this side of the world, but it does mean that history in popular c

None can be trusted. Doesn't matter what either party claims to sell/not sell. Google started off with "Do no evil" as a motto at some point in its history.

Yeah. This is not particularly a Facebook problem. And it certainly is not an iPhone exclusive one. I would be willing to bet my 2¢ that Apple photo backups store your photos with exif data. Should be trivially easy to strip this info and

Unless you are some anomaly with super memory abilities, speeding through 10 different podcasts won't make the day any shorter (or longer).

Sucks that you cannot do away with ads even on premium. Might want to check if this sponsored-ads skip tool this can be of help in your circumstance https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlock

Why not slim down the number of podcasts?

Headline is a bit of a reach. A few employees grumbling on Twitter does not constitute any meaningful representative given the size of Google's workforce. That said, WFH is not for everyone. And a flexible 3-day office presence is a go

To date MOBA has never recovered from this dumpster fire. All the alternatives that have since cropped up feel inferior to what SEMC had accomplished with Vainglory.

I remember vividly HN cheering attempts to doxx Parler users. Some misguided members of the public even volunteered info to LE agencies. This is what happens when people feel and consequently think they can and ought to have a right to rat

This is a very very weird product. From the site which looks like a nice pitch btw, this basically looks like a VM that only serves as a browser. What problem does it solve? Btw. My teeth gnash at the thought that my assumption above about

It is not that companies want to waste (your) time. It boils down to the principle that a company will almost always, given the chance, choose to pay you x100$ less (arbitrary figure). Why? Because you are just a cog in the machine in their

Double negative. Any help sent to India will be "stuck" in India as far as production of AZ vaccine is concerned. Vaccine nationalism brought out the worst trait in our fickle species.

If you think TPB is the holy grail of convenience, then you haven't tried a service like real-debr1d with kodi. I've been a pirate for many years, nothing beats this combination if the objective is to stream whatever movie/sh

You just might be right. If you clear the history, the FLoC machine will have to calculate the cohort ID afresh. There are other use cases for this as this form of identification can be manipulated. Don't want to see cat ads anymore, g

FLoC is a tracking mechanism. By replacing 3rd party cookies, this generally speaking means less tracking. 3rd party tracking + FLoC = bad bad. FloC only = less bad.

Agree. Every time I see anyone recommend Firefox as a privacy browser I just assume they are giving this advice to their grandma or sth. Firefox is not whistle clean as a privacy browser. It has location tracking by default and some telemet

I flipped long ago because of a stupid stubborn ui design decision chrome stuck with. In hindsight, if chrome listened to my (user) needs I would probably still be using it. Assuming the privacy bug hadn't caught up with me that is. (W

Ha. They do this everywhere not just on Chrome. In your gmail. Youtube. In your smartphone, google apps. Basically any google product should be expected to spy on you. You are the product in Google's grand scheme. The ad buyers are the

My experience with DDG has been the opposite of yours. The results some of the times are just annoying. Mostly because I want it to be good enough to replace Google with it. I click on a second page from results and it turns out to be some

You are asking for sanity and ethics on the net. From advertisers. You must be insane. I don't like this FLoC proposal either but to me I see it as a small leap in saying goodbye to mass cross-site spying that has been uncontrollably r
