LGBT* is most definitely political - I think you just proved that.

No, that's just another option when it comes to free software. Why not make an effort to cohere rather than disperse? Stronger together and all that. RMS is pulling the authority card, which is always a dodgy thing to do, and people wa

To call it a joke is a bit of a stretch, more like a turn of phrase or wink to the reader. As far as explicitly inserting one's politics into communal tools, this case is so mild it's hard to fathom any grounded person wasting tim

I would love to post a link to part 1 but the search function only returns five results, there are related links at the 'bottom' of the page but the results are inconsistent (i.e., part 9, part 14, part 10), but 80% of the page is

I think it's exactly that. Hackernews is just another filter bubble and a haven for a particular personality type.

Doesn't look like anything to me ... Seriously - in latest Vivaldi it's so large that even zooming out the furthest (20%) I can't make out anything. The static images from the glitched browsers in the comments above are great

Thank you. I suspect it's probably because the exceptions to the rule bump privacy violations to the top of the news by a very vocal and outraged minority. But if you consider the magnitude of personal data the police must have access

The man is objectively dead and loss of privacy doesn't affect it any more. The living - you, me, the family of the dead man - want that corpse and the memories we associate with it treated with a certain level of respect. I'm not

Not a joke at all. The police are not your enemy and they're not out to get you and suck up all your data in order to best violate your privacy.

Absolutely. I keep the Tibetan 'sky burial' in mind often these days: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_burial and some videos if you're not squeemish: https://www.youtube.com/results?sea

Sure, but I would trust the police to handle their data with the same respect and circumspection that they handle all private data they must routinely encounter.

I disagree, we respect the dead because it makes living with memories of the dead person's life easier, and we don't want those memories tarnished. It's also nice to think we'll be remembered fondly in turn when we die,

There was no mention of corruption, just some ham-fisted investigation. That is an interesting point about the phone belonging to the estate though. It wasn't mentioned in the article.

The corpse was hardly desecrated. It's finger was used in an attempt to figure out why drug dealing killed it. I would posit replacing it's fluids with embalming solution to be more intrusive.

Concerning the dead man's privacy, it doesn't matter, he's dead. What matters is the appearance of decency and respect in death because it matters to the family. The article makes me wonder if the police walked up during the

before anyone else downvotes the parent, take a look at the URL in the sibling comment about what is captured. they're capturing more data about you than you probably realise exists to be captured.

wow - that is comprehensive and terrifying. I skimmed the list and these particular ones jumped out at me: > Movies > URL for a specific two-second chunk of content if there is an error > Music & TV > Service URL for song

Yeah, for some reason I'm ambivalent about Gates and always have been. Microsoft hasn't been run by him in a long long time though.

That's interesting! I had a hell of a time turning off all the nasty intrusive bits for my friends and parents. I should take a look at this version.
