My feelings exactly. I'm also frustrated and disappointed with how discussions always end up stuck on the same tried and well-hashed points. I don't want a "pro-crypto" echo chamber, but I also don't want what hn de

This flaw is what keeps me away from digital purchases. If I can loose all the money I put into your service "for any reason", I'd rather not put money into it at all. Even more so if the decision to cease my money is automat

You forgot buffering and granular control over resolution. I have to manually set the resolution on each youtube video I watch because youtube insists my network is fast enough for 4k when it most definitely isn't. Thank you, youtube-d

Since ISPs generally see DNS queries from the gateway and not individual hosts, wouldn't your ISP still be able to see those requests? AFAIK, the only way to prevent your ISP from collecting the domains you visit is if you use somethin

This is an excellent UVP to have over GnuPG. I'll probably end up using sequoia for my app for this reason alone (amusing it's dependency graph is manageable). Curious as to why LGPLv3 wasn't chosen though.
