Way to go, old friend! P2P technology is important to resist censorship. It does not have an opinion about what content goes through the technology. Like Tor. The important thing is that it's decentralised, which makes it truly "o

Yes, many chemically simple or highly unprocessed substances from nature which are able to be harvested or produced by people who are not corrupt billion dollar chemical companies work. It's great. It's also usually better for the

I like this article because it reminds us of the relationship between privacy and freedom. Important freedom. Freedoms that go far beyond our computer code. In fact, survival.

OK, I might now agree with that. Perhaps it's a second issue (which only makes the criticism stronger). I still do occasionally get the T2 'crash', i.e. entire system reboot, but not very often. What's most frustrating i

I would have said Ubuntu a year ago, but I've been watching the Desktop Linux space closely for a year now, and it appears Mint is actually more user friendly than Ubuntu, which is quite surprising and nice to know (I'm not a fan

I think in general macOS is an amazing operating system, recent Catalina bugs aside. Something related: what I've been really living with is the T2 chip kernel panic hardware bug. Over 3 different models (the 2017, 2018, then the 2019

Just another thought, although IANAL: while it's probably OK to use the word 'horcrux' in casual discussion, for an actual product, even if non-profit, it may be unfeasible to use that word because it's part of the Harry

Hyperbolic claims aside†, I think this is a practical way to dramatically increase the security of OTP key transmission over networked communication. It's not perfect, but it would make any attacker's job harder, right? E.g. attac

This is a reply only to your comment and has no bearing on my opinion about the parent: It's very possible that those young people are outliers and unusual cases (very small numbers statistically) which is why they're stories and

Disgusting censorship in such a position of power. Corporations like Facebook and Google and Apple shape society. There is no getting around it. It should no longer be acceptable to use the concepts of 'capitalism' and 'priva

Why do I have tears in my eyes because of a technology ad? I have not felt this emotional about a technology product since Steve Jobs. I think even more. That was an amazing ad (video on their home page). I have loved and used paper and pen

To me this is no problem. Tesla has been a catalyst. IIRC, its corporate mythology has often said as much. I'm not an economist and I'm sure technically they're supposed to act like a selfish capitalist entity like anyone els

I don't know if this comment is out of place, but it makes me realise the 'Americanisation' of the world (whenever that takes place) is not only the exporting of 'democracy', but also USA-style surveillance (and als

Yes, great point, absolutely. On that level, things can be done. Suppose I'm talking on a bigger / higher level. (My mind tends to go 'straight there'.) Thanks for giving some hope.

Bias. It affects everything. Science, religion, politics, public policy, company policy, policing, the judiciary, journalism, and (any)one's decision-making regarding 'facts'. Not sure how we're going to solve it on a pl

I believe the scientists, but I'm not sure this type of 'marketing' is effective and it could possibly even be damaging, or at least a waste of effort (which means damaging). To someone non-sciency in mindset (which is a grea

I love how this is offered fully in Chinese, and that reminds me of something. Every operating system like macOS has its place, no matter what one's threat model is. Don't just say 'move to Linux if you're really worried

This is insidious. What kind of college dean or president would think that this is OK? With such a low level of regard towards young people and with only potential for gross abuse, if the staff's leadership refuse to apologise and with

It especially does because people think that being against 'Chinese apps' like TikTok is 'sinophobia', when really we love Chinese people it's just the government we don't trust. So it really does makes it sp

Polygraphs are a joke for this reason among so many others: Psychopaths, sociopaths and narcissists can fool them because they are able to feel zero (or are incapable of feeling any) biological fear or anxiety (i.e. 'stress response&

This is the problem with the whole industry right now. How Google win - and they do it with many of their products - is that they bother to make their products just superior enough to the competition, that you basically have no choice but t

Wow. Almost every Linux distribution would never enable such a thing. As for Apple's Macs, it's all a black box in and of itself.

Then in addition to committing murder you would have prevented the creation of Apple Computer. Read Steve Jobs' biography by Walter Isaacson to see just how 'hippie' he was while changing the world.

Yes, diversity is crucial for the survival of our species. The more I learn and think about all things, I'm seeing it's linked to genetic diversity, and many other physical health issues. Diversity is hard to swallow, given our tr

Oh in my case it's an entry bridge I run, not an exit relay. That's the one you really need to worry about being. It's not recommended anyone does that (at least at home). What I'm recommending is very safe as it doesn&#
