So we need commercial insentive to be diversity accepting? I think it should just not matter where you are from, what your background is. We should be treated to our skills. If your skills are not required, people shouldn't have to hir

So what about your mail client, team chat app, browser (with all your accounts logged in to your sites), terminal, and all your files and network mounts? I would rather make this a feature of your desktop environment / window manager.

So you're shocked every time you see a browser with default UI setup? I mean, I understand if it's not your preference, or even have good argumentation for why the default is not the best for everyone. But if you're shocked e

And how to these black markets connect the phone numbers to names? I guess from data collected from more insecure sources. So I think Signal is being responsible with their data. Also, you need some way to log in to your account. So you nee

For most services to sign up, you also need an email address. This is also to help you recover your account in case you lost your password. A phone number can be used for this purpose too. Now you can share your Signal account with someone

Why iOS cloud backup? Why not a universal backup way, OS / cloud vendor independent?

There is a universal way of fixing this for all your desktop apps: locm your computer. It works similar to locking your phone: when it's locked, you have to first unlock it with a password or something, in order to start using the deci

Indeed. Even most technical people don't have experience setting up VOIP stuff. And needing some techie's intervention just to create an account is not beneficial for a company's user base. Calling this a non-issue is being i

In what way is the book not admit the problems? Like the previous commenter said, it's full of data supporting it's claims. I'm truly interested in your arguments, because I just got this book.

Indeed, hopefulness is much better and productive than hopelessness. As long as it's done in a realistic way, not denying the facts, not cherry picking data, etc. Hopeful people can accomplish a lot more than hopeless people.

If you would pay $0.01 per song on Spotify. Then if you listen to an artist's album of 10 songs for a 100 times, so 1000 song plays of $0.01, that is $10. Spotify takes 30% cut, then the artist gets $7 and Spotify gets $3. Now if 10,00

Well if they are your friends, you would expect that they will have respect for your choices. But maybe you are trying to convert them also, in a way they don't like it. So then they call you a tech vegan. I guess because vegans can be

Facebook probably has lots of more interesting data about you that you don't see in your report. Aside from that, having this data from millions of people, and being able to control what content they see on their platforms, these kind

Indeed, the commercial thing is just a cover-up for the more dangerous and manipulative & controlling powers they have.

Trial and error? I think most animals have an instinct of what they should eat when. I think humans have that too, but kind of forgot about it, or at least we are out of touch with these things and mostly judge intellectually.

Aha yeah, true, in the United States employers don't have much rights and can be quite easily fired for any reason. In Europe you usually need to have a valid reason to fire someone. Valid reasons can include refusal to perform work, c

Yeah well, we have laws and a legal system right? I don't think our legal system says that you can't criticize the company you're working for, or that a company can fire people for criticizing the company. Criticism is health
