Thousands of people everyday post "anonymously" via pseudo accounts/names, more so on the heavily surveiled big social sites. Does this mean that the contents of their posts are unwanted? No. The algorithms are designed to

This reminds me of DeepinOS though it's intentions are a bit different. The obsession the Chinese people have with iOS is insane though from a UX/UI it seems justifiable given user demand on this front. Simple gets the job done. I

You have no honor as a person and as an employee. And even worse, terrible problem solving skills. Did it occur to you the people you thought your fisting could have just replicated the same abuse elsewhere? Why not officially report them s

Except the dip is coming sooner rather than later. History has always taught us BTC to come down after Dec/Jan. Gotta have the engines of the market ecosystem churning somehow. Also like you I plan on adding more when it dips low so I

This is a good move. Happy for them. As a consumer, anything that makes the end product safer to procure and consume is a big step forward. Going to dingy back alleys to get stepped down hash doesn't do marijuana plant justice.

I used to use sign in with Facebook/Google like the careless pleb I was until I discovered how privacy-invasive these corps are. Am never signing in to any casual site without a proton mail coupled with Bitwarden password manager now.

There's a stark difference between the audience here at HN and say 8ch or even the taken down Parler. Most users here you can reason with, can't say much for extremists. Also the crowd over there won't give you the mic unless

Lol. Proton mail has strong encryption and is hosted in one of the most strongest jurisdictions in the world as regards privacy laws. Nothing to worry about :) Tutanota on the other hand lost a court battle in Germany and had to give up ema

Excuse my ignorance but you've just educated me on the product Facebook portal. I've never been more terrified of a communications gadget. I shudder thinking of how many unaware users are actively giving Facebook their bio data, e

Net neutrality is a foreign concept in my land (am in East Africa). There are strong laws governing usage/misuse of internet by users but none on how ISPs can or cannot promote specific (legal) content/services. Come to think of i

While all these other privacy-respecting messaging alternatives are getting more attention after WhatsApp's updated privacy policy, it would be prudent to note that most casual users will be clicking yes as soon as the new policy pop

That is why I said future . Bitcoin is not ready today or even tomorrow for merchant or even peer to peer payments. Takes forever to confirm transactions and is not exactly intuitive to use. However it is a no-brainer once it matures to b

The author may be right in that MSTR putting the surplus capital towards BTC was a somewhat strange and potentially reckless move. He got a lot of things wrong with what Bitcoin is and how it works. For instance he claims Bitcoin to be anon

The worst kind. These ones will outright share (and profit from) your social profile data to advertisers.

Your first argument gave me quite a good chuckle.

While in a perfect world, we would have factual arguments laid out in opinion pieces. They are merely that, someone's opinions and are even more playground space for self-proclaimed pundits than actual journalism.

Dude. I've tried to point you to the answers of all your questions. Is it that you can't stand any FF/Mozilla criticism or you deliberately want to ignore the suggestions I've put across towards answering some of your qu

In some cases relying on Firefox as your main browser can turn out to be a sadomasochistic endeavor. Sadly though 100% of the web is written with Chrom(e/ium) in mind. Firefox lost the ball on this too long ago for it to come back on t

Again another controversial take: I want Firefox to die and burn so that we can build a new FOR ALL browser based on it from its ashes. It is open source after all. The reason I'm arguing for the worst possible outcome is so that we ca

Firefox seems hell bent on going down a deep dark path. A path only they seem convinced about. It will come a time where they'll have no takers. And we'll be left with chromium. Controversial take: I want to see this happen sooner
