The fixed allowance is the same within the EU. It's not "no roaming charges", but it is that you must not be charged for occasional fair-use roaming (which is quite a lot of roaming). They can still ban you from roaming if yo

I think bad regulation and over-regulation are different words for the same thing, but calling it over-regulation pushes a certain agenda that all regulations are bad, which people who profit from deregulation would like you to think.

Ambition develops skill. One of the problems with American society is people thinking they have skill when they don't. If people knew they had ambition and no skill, they'd try things and learn.

Sure. When you start from the axiom that people unlike yourself are evil and must be harmed at all costs, you might end up near those positions. However, most people don't have that axiom, and we shouldn't attempt to compromise th

At this point isn't the balanced view simply the non-conservative view? Don't listen to Democrat party propaganda either of course, but there's much less of that and it's slightly more aligned with reality.

I do not get this use of the word "reality"? The reality is Ted Bundy's currently-at-large successor has the ability to shoot me with a gun. And that fact is about as relevant as what you said. What you're doing here is

There is currently zero evidence that the "monitored" Play Store is better or safer than the open internet.

Risk and responsibility are different. Monitoring, responsibility, those are just silly words with semantic games since Google's store is full of malware while F-Droid is not. Google's store is the risky one, and the words on thei

Can you provide convincing evidence that this is the case? What is the winter that is coming? And that your proposal will prevent it? And what exactly is your proposal anyway? North Koreans think the outside world is going to collapse becau

Why do we use GDP though? On average quality of life, Europe left the USA in the dust. GDP just measures how expensive everything is. More expensive things is bad.

We could just, like, not give billionaires so much money, and there will be more left for everyone else. Yeah, if we want to be the world superpower we have to work really hard. But we definitely won't get any of the benefits of bein

Did you consider running non-tracking ads? Of course not because even after the 30% drop, the spyware still pays more, right? But destroying websites with spyware is literally what the law is for - the people have voted to nuke your website

This brings up the point that for some reason we're all terrified of the government. Maybe because we see the daily abuse from the USA? But if you accidentally violated the GDPR while in good faith trying to follow it, the most likely

The extension I just mentioned is E2EE.

For E2EE there is the very old unofficial and only-partially-secure extension of using Blowfish with a static key.

I think the most interesting part of this is the requirement for phones to not allow side loading. I expect Google had lots of advance warning and that contributed to their decision to close the platform.

There's the confusion about whether ePD (which is all cookies even functional ones) was superseded by GDPR or whether it wasn't and both rules apply. Personally I think common sense is that GDPR replaced ePD or at least its cookie

Actually it often is a separate cookie per tracker because that's convenient for the trackers. But the only reason they don't put in the effort to do it the way you said is that browsers don't have the feature to block indivi

There could be an extension to block the banners, too. I think uBO has a feature to block certain CSS classes?

I think this is all under the assumption that your goal is to make the project as successful as possible. If that's true, then if people think you should step down, you should. BUT can that happen? If you're trying to maximise p

You should install F-Droid. lmoat every app on there is completely ethical, and there are many (not enough but many). Many of the ones that require a server side connect to your self hosted server instead of some central server on the cloud

Did they put it back up when the DDoS ended? If so, they're not hurting you since it's no worse than the DDoS itself, and they're actually helping you by preventing themselves from having a reason to ban you to save the rest
