I bet you can do it in a way that doesn't make your site look ridiculous. Do you have somewhere in a sidebar or footer an about/meta section that has the likes of "powered by wordpress"? That'd be a "reasonable

From what I understand, Daala is aimed at the generation after VP9/H.265, eg https://lwn.net/Articles/571978/ But I suspect you're right about VP9/H.265 decisions being made now, and royalty free al

VP8 exists, and is free VP9 exists, is better and free (in Chrome, will be in Firefox release in a few months) There is still ongoing work to create a better, encumbered codec, h.265 There is going work to create a much better, free codec,

Indeed, the first part (search that filters out site with ads, including affiliate links and the like) is something I wish for frequently. It isn't that I mind seeing ads (I can use AdBlock for that, and sometimes do), it's that I

That was precisely my reaction when reading the article as published in Wired recently. It has some good ideas for increasing privacy. Too bad they are made to turn on an extremely weak claim.

Maybe this is one of the reasons the dependencies are being split up http://dot.kde.org/2013/09/25/frameworks-5 (for KDE generally; I imagine Krita would benefit though know no details).

> adding ToR into Firefox with support for the .onion domain I love this independent of any other step. Would make using and running hidden services much more attractive.

It makes portability different. Jitsi runs on Linux/OSX/Windows. To the end user, it's as "portable" as Skype (on the desktop), and I don't know of any alternative that comes anywhere close. Thanks for the link

GNU/Linux yes, but in that scenario I'd expect to be able to run Android/Linux (FWIW I don't care about the naming argument, just disambiguating here) on new patriotic hardware... Edit: maybe Windroid is the most likely

Nice. Wildly extrapolating from this GNOME and KDE should join forces to create one Qt-based desktop; GNOME-Qt. ;-)
