As the article outlines, they already do by not allowing you to purchase cryptocurrencies. I don't see any logical reason why "I'm paying them for a service" means they can't impose restrictions on the service they

Pocket itself isn't open source, they just have an org on GH which has some tools inside.

I know there have been a lot of people who were quite angry about the Pocket integration (and more so about some of Mozilla's more recent experiments with Mr. Robot), but I don't think this is a bad thing (what is mentioned in the

Without wanting to guess at your financial circumstances, I don't think that the problem is not being able to afford subscriptions in most cases, it's that subscriptions are way more than the £0 people are used to paying, so they

My immediate reaction was: "oh god eyecandy + broken features". I felt the same way with Inbox (which, thankfully, was not pressed onto users). They seem to make cosmetic changes (IMO material-UI is clunky) which in turn make thin

Yes but in the long run, unless you are to be crowned the ultimate arbiter of what ideas are correct, the only effective way to do this is to persuade people (sometimes including the aforementioned immoral actor) that these actions are wron

Given that he rates Vyrpr above PIA, when Vypr have had clear incidents of doing enough logging to identify which user has done something [1][2], and PIA do no logging [3], I'm not particularly inclined to trust this analysis on the ba

As a very inexperienced manager (i.e. startup founder) I found some of the stuff quite helpful, which is doubtless obvious to the more experienced (although, in fairness, I also stopped reading about 3/4 of the way through, but my cofo

This looks great - the Slack app is a massive PITA because it's so slow. The only thing stopping me junking Franz for this is that Franz has whatsapp (which you probably can't integrate into Eul anyway because it has to be the web

We do the same and I found it a breeze, I even have some hooks which talk to the cloudflare API to setup the txt records for verification.

I think this is a really thorough mea culpa which is quite impressive, given the frequent failure of other newspapers to publish a prominent apology when they have got things far more wrong than this.

Thanks for the link. I'll have to look for a new VPN provider then.

Really? I know the client stores connection logs (configurable) but I asked them directly and they said they didn't log anything if it's turned off. Their privacy policy says the same [1]. If that's the case then I'm swi

I use VyprVPN [1] which I've found to be good and fast. It's a bit of a tough area to research well. I might give TunnelBear a try. [1]: https://www.goldenfrog.com/vyprvpn

I really don't agree. I'm pretty confident in my ability to do what I do, but having a cofounder has given me a useful critic (amongst other things). Having gone through this stuff, I would have wanted to have done it on my own. *

Not really, you could make that argument about any set of technologies working in tandem. Traditionally a framework is an entire set of technologies, only really designed to work together (e.g. Laravel, Rails, Backbone, CakePHP, etc.). Expr

Frameworks? none. Technologies? node.js + express; postgres; react + redux Why? Speed and flexibility of development (although tbh this is just about what you're used to), using the same language on both ends, and I really like js.
