Amazon warehouse employees had to pee in bottles because they were worked so hard, and there is that business about selling large scale facial recognition services to governments (possibly in emulation of what China is doing)

The harm these companies might cause is primarily in the future. This is still the sunny phase where they have not been incorporated into some Orwellian system (pardon me, google tried really hard in China but got stopped for now)

In terms of intentions, Bitwarden is very open and attempts to do everything right while putting itself under scrutiny. I suspect that as the company gains more and more users they will grow into the top choice, ie, when they get the cash t

I'm also using bitwarden, but palent seemed skeptical about it in the comments. Here's a copy of the comment: Reply from Wladimir Palant: Unfortunately, I didn’t make notes last time I looked into this – the issues simply weren’t

I use a 27 inch 1080p and a bigger 4k monitor and I can't get the scaling right. I'm considering selling one or the other and getting a new one so that both share a DPI. I wish Wayland was more stable so I could use it bug free an

I read a lot of textbooks in DRM free eBook format lately, strictly for the weight. However, some of my books have licenses on them stating its a crime to even create a copy and worded so poorly that even personal backups are illegal, and I

I've heard of these evidence requests as being a form of intellectual denial of service attack in public debates

Honestly, we need to discuss how to stop it. Everyone goes around trading opinions and complaining, but this is an entrepreneurship community. We need to talk about solutions. Could a startup make a dent?
