For mobile use container syncing (even just ssyncing which domains go in which container) would make it sooo much easier to protect from tracking. Firefox for Android is a notable improvement over Chrome, but the add-ons available for it, e

Containers on Firefox do this type of isolation without making you play login whackamole. Each website you define gets its own little sandbox with no access to other sandboxed cookies, unless you permit it.

Hmm? Its not uncommon for there to be freely usable bike racks on most city streets. I see them all over Seattle, predating bikeshares by years in most cases.

Scooters aren't yet permitted here in Seattle FYI, though recent rule changes make it possible tto request authorisation to deploy scooters under a bikeshare permit iirc. Same for cargo bikes and other bike variants, which opens up int

Doesn't it require some weird browser extension rather than asking for camera/mic or screensharing permissions through the APIs offered in all modern browsers? Seemed like a kludge when my SO had to use it, like they took the idea

Didn't Google just recently rewrite the infrastructure that supports Hangouts? IIRC that caused many Google Voice integrations to break, as they ripped out what was left of their siloed XMPP stack. Why invest all this labor, only to an

Using TBB has gotten much better over the past few years, often you can stream YouTube without much issue.

Apparently the Harvard Scandals and high incidents of rape on campus are finally catching up with Harvard, nevermind the awful things its alumni have done: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/10/fashion/harva

Yeah, figured Google wouldn't see serious reform. Much like Google's "efforts" to diversify their workforce by dropping nearly all Asian/Indian/White applicants, things aren't going to notably improve at G

Scapegoating this as poly problems is a terrible thing to do. Google has serious managerial issues, bred by previous and current executives shitty behaviour (to borrow from the article). The board needs to fire the current executives and pu

Participating in Open Source projects often won't land you a job either, it seems many hiring pipelines are totally messed up.

Its sufficent to keep me off Google, which neither DDG or Bing could ever achieve. I do occasionally get imposter syndrome, and search something on Google too, but the results are generally more accurate on Qwant (for me at least). Where Go

Its sad to see the contortions my boyfriend makes to support his purchase of a headphone jack free android, despite his desire for high quality audio (he hates bluetooth with a passion). USB C to 3.5mm adapters are cheap, but break at the d

They are arguing that the janky, hamstrung progressive web app infrastructure for iOS is a replacement for a native app. Sadly, due to Apple forcing everything to use Safari's browser engine, PWAs are redheaded stepchildren on iOS: ht

Does BART have unlimited liability for the actions of others? Probably not. Should BART have more security at problem stations? Sure. Most of this sounds like a failure of the local police though, transit security is generally not going to

Harleys are relatively underpowered and heavy FYI, the former to create the classic Harley sounds people know. The weight of a heavy cruiser bike like most Harleys is a significant factor in making that type of bike so dangerous.

The credit bureaus only have 157M SSNs from living people last I heard, so no, for half of Americans their SSN is not accessible via accurint.

Pretty sure OP is a passive user, and is extremely susceptible to better tools for OP's needs coming along, eg: the current crop of buy/sell/trade apps/PWAs out there.

I know, but the point is social networking sites are ephemeral, owning the social graph of older social groups does not ensure dominance of younger social groups.

by metildaa 8y ago
I hold the opposite view, Facebook itself has lost social momemtum to Instagram, Twitter and others, and this is eroding their grip on the high value parts of the social graph.
